i-mobile 318 - User Reviews

  • Internet not open please

  • my mobile is unable to support this format...

  • can i read any document on 318?

  • Hello, it's me again. In case there are non available for the imobile 318 housing, perhaps any Nokia housing could be used? If yes, then which Nokia model housing (which is easily available in the market) is compatible with the 318? Anyone ever tried? Thank you.

  • Need to replace my 318 housing (back cover spoilt). Any idea where can I buy a new compatible housing for my 318? What about the pricing? Tried asking for original ones... too expensive.

  • I had this phone once but i was disappointed with the sms incoming system. It was totally lame. While replying sms and another sms came in, the replying sms i was typing will be sent to the number of the newest incoming sms that just came (i hadn't even read it yet). It's ridiculous. And the pre sale service also disappointing. I'm from jakarta and the service center wasn't reliable at all. The customer service outfits were like t-shirt and jeans no uniform and they couldn't even answer my complain well. Very very very disappointing. I bought it rp700k and sold it for rp250k, poor me.. Good things are: big sound, good camera (if we compare to others chinese phone), 3,5 jack audio.

  • How is it to record call conversation, is it like the way LG KG195 does ?->during conversation press left soft key_(option)->and then press 6_(voice recorder) or how ? is it the same with this phone or not ???

  • Dear, Problem has come up as of today. It happened first when I was replying a message to a sender number and at the same time when I was still typing the message, another message text sent into my cell phone and as a result when I finished typing and then I sent it to the sender number, my message didn't go anywhere but was sent to the sender number who sent the message exactly when I was typing the reply which wasn't a reply I intend to send.

  • i can't see the MMS, please help me? reply to [email protected], thank you...

  • yes in effectmatrix.com

  • i bought it abt two weeks ago. i'm just disappointed, the sound is not as gud as i thought before. lg kg 195 is better. and the thing i really hate is.... i'm typing reply msg and the new sms is received and you know what??the reply mesg i just typed sent to the second sms sender and it always happens,very disappointing.i dont know whether it happens to all types or it only happens with me...the service center is still rare.

  • I got this one less than a month as a second phone AND a music player. I am satisfied with it's features. This one really worth the price. Its design caught my eyes at first sight. I wasn't sure with the brand, but hey, after own it. I just fell in love with it. Great speaker, great sound, easy to use and manage. With magnesium frame, the weight and size is just right for my palm. Well, I would recommend this one for those who are looking for the best low-end phone. Again, it worth your money!!

  • This mobile can't play 3gp or mp4 format video. It only can play avi mjpeg. But how can I convert any format video file in avi mjpeg? plz help...

  • I bought this phone month ago. It is my first time using i-mobile. It is really worth of money! Have been using it for more than a month, haven't encounter any problem. If you are looking for a budget phone with essential functions i.e., mp3, basic photo taking, and bluetooth, you will find this phone handy. One thing I like the most about the phone is the battery. I think I could not get the phone with similar functions in other brand at the budget price. =)

  • pls dun simple says ppl brand is low class brand .lots of ppl saying i-mobile phone is good and cheap so is that means ur personal problem or ur personal taste is low and bad?

  • yes U can record your conversation. -U can use your video for screensaver -U can play 3 video format : Avi mjpeg,mp4(15Fps), 3gp -Speaker is very loud and clear, better than sony walkman phone.

  • Yes you can record your conversation, And one more, this phone can play 3 video format, avi mjpeg, mpeg4(15fps), and 3gp. you must buy this phone if you only have low budget. this is complete multimedia phone with very very low price

  • its very-very use, and simpe

  • Low Class Brand

  • I have planing to buy this phone. is this support WAP 2.0 XHTML or HTML or NETfront? please help me, thank before.

  • oja.. i want to add. the radio recorder feature is quite nice. it can record radio air in both amr and wav. it's mono though. but it's sure quite nice. and about the file manager, i didn't expect much from its file manager actually. but it's also quite good. of course you can compare it with SE's file manager or Symbian file manager. but at least, you can sort files in the file manager by many parameters (time, file name, file type etc etc), you can mark several files (to move/copy etc, but apparently can NOT send several files via bluetooth). the other menu that's really helpful is the one called "Private Menu". you can set your own passcode to the private menu, then you can access it and control several menus such as messaging (inbox, outbox, draft etc), call list, calender, contacts, etc. it's very useful. such a nice feature every phone should've had! ~_~

  • i bought this phone for only $70 and i'm really satisfied for the performance it brings me in that price range. screen is so-so, but it's nice to see the pixel density is really good there. it lacks of contrast and saturation though. apart from it.. the camera is VGA. it's not sharp, it's VGA, but hey.. the color reproduction is awesome! you like seeing k750's cam clarity, but only in vga size. quite nice. the audio performance is satisfying. the loudspeaker is loud. really loud, clear and i can praise it. the 3.5mm jack helps a lot to find the better headset and it performs very satisfyingly with a better headset. battery life is quite good. it could've been better tho. the writing response is really fast. the keypad is very comfortable. and writing messages on this phone is absolutely a pleasure. the rest of the menu response quite fast. but it takes more time to access folders in file managers, esp when the folders contain large amount of files. well.. for a low-end phone, i highly recommend it. oja.. it also has bluetooth which has the transfer rate about 70kbps, which is fast, faster than SE's A100 bluetooth transfer rate (still slower than SE's A200 bluetooh transfer rate). it's nice. really. ~_~

  • it has buletooth that I think its very nice and so compatible as well. The main point its low price.

  • Can I recored call conversation with this phone?

  • bluetooth yes with a2dp and 3.5 mm jack audio

  • no bluetooth included (is it right?)

  • one more the screen not cstn 128*160 but tft 176*220

  • I have this Phone, This is some features that i like : 1. 3.5 mm jack audio with yamaha audio amflipier for very good sound coz this is music phone series 2. private menu 3. Fm radio record 4. Huge internal memory (121 mb) and I dont like this : 1. Video only support avi mjpeg not 3gp or mp4 but this is good phone for who loves MUSIC

  • menu style similar to sony ericcson

  • looks like a nokia phone.
