O2 X1b - User Reviews

  • My HTC broke so I bought this replace for a £10 while I get a new smartphone or HTC is fixed. One thing I love about this phone, all the physcial buttons light up in a bright neon-blue... THAT IS SO AWESOME XD .. Also to the guy asking how to transfer your pics, it has bluetooth, if your computer/laptop doesn't have bluetooth in this day n age you need to consider upgrading your PC ;)

  • the most rubbishest phone ever my mum got it then gave it to me for school the camera suks and the bluetooth dosnt even work

  • i got this phone 4 my birthday and i first thought it was great but my blue tooth dont work either so i no how you feel.i ased everyone in my family if they could fix it but they couldnt do it either.

  • Has anyone ever owned a o2 phones?

  • Does anyone know how to take the pictures that are on the mobile off, like onto the computer ?

  • Being useless with any form of technology incls unable to do little else than just about get myself sorted out for searching the web, i am feeling pretty fearful re: my experiance with the original no camera 0X1i,purchased as it was inexpensive, i could use it on our trip to Las Vagas won in a virgin comp, then changing to 02 X1b when it came onto the market as its predessor but with camera. I would be lieing if i said not once did i have a problem with it, as i did in fact i had 3 each time requiring another purchase as it was on pay as you go, i had pqrs wearing out showing only blue inside on the lst, 2nd same prob also loosing wxyz the 3rs at 13 months old oct 07 either the charger or the phone itself wouldnt charge, unable to purchase new charger as phone now discontinued and despite the probs plus having to pay each time for new phone as no upgrade with pay as u go also being disabled unable to get to 02 stores for parts, advice or swapping..if it were still available i would have still gone for it despite the probs etc. A small light weighted basic phone offering better tex space than other makes, goog backup teamwork and courtesy, but most of all i feel the small cost of this phone together with the various extras cobined with excellent treats 3 monthly top up interest put back on phone, ability for use in states etc without any added extras more than adequately fitted the needs i wanted it for YES B 4 U ALL THINK IM CRAZY i should have received free replacements as there r obviously a lot of similar probs with this phone, noted when reading comments, but sometimes the devil u know is far better than that u dont, had 02 got another mobile at price i could afford with minimal requirements i need i would have purchased it over anyother t. m mobile, vodaphone etc and i do agree with the statement and survey putting 02 at the top of the ratings 4 customer complaints and services.I dont agree with customers being rude and abusive to customer care they do a job and it doesnt include manufacture it is there to help resolve probs, advise on what 2 do and b the mind of information. Jacqui.

  • I bought mobile set a mounth ago. Although in my set there is a option for bluetooth ,but it's no working....... I check by another bluetooth device...but stitt not getting connection to my mobile......is there any solution or any technical problem then please inform me.

  • This phone is great, but I have one big problem with it. My screen is UPSIDOWN!!! Has anyone else had this problem?

  • does anyone know if u can u use this phone in America? Thanks

  • For those that have trouble pairing the O2 bluetooth headsets with thier phone.......... You need to go to Tools....Bluetooth........Add devices. The phone will start searching. While it is doing it press the on button on your headset, keeping it pressed until you phone finds it. Then press the button to pair it and you should find it works Ok after that.

  • i've activated my GPRS from my airtel customer care in pune, india. could u tell me weather the settings of mobile is already installed in the mobile o2x1b or should install it & what is the procedure to install in my mobile. please mail me at [email protected]

  • Does anyone know where I get hold of a user manual for this mobile, my mate has this fone and its having trouble working out what certain symbols are on her fone that keep popping up (a smiley face????) Id like to see if I can download it for her any help would be appreciated [email protected]

  • This little phone does exactly what it says on the tin. Takes neat photos (in daytime or well lit areas)easy texts, blue tooth works great with a blue tooth headset, brilliant for when I'm driving and need hands-free. Cheap no nonsense phone. Lasts for 3 days on a full charge with average use. I'm hooked on one of the games, Eda Mouse! Only downside is the keys are way too small, but I knew that when I got it, it's a small phone, doh. But very very easy to use. I have found it impossible to get any spare accessories from 02 shops,and its true, they don't want to know. This phone is like having an old mini, it has all the bits you will need, and it does the job, but it aint no BMW.

  • Stop b****ing about this phone!! should have read about it beofre u got it, ive had it for nearly a year now, and it was fine then yeh but i want a new one now, yeh, the camera is only good in like, nice daylight, but i dont caaaare, and its not hard to text on, AND people that say they have to charge it every night...what the c**p, i only need to charge mine like, once a week! and i leave it on overnight! If your that fussed about it being rubbish, buy a new phone!

  • by the way if you want to turn the annoying sounds off when you turn the phone on and off hold down the right button at the top it will then turn to silent not hard to work out :S

  • the o2 x1b is rubbish it says it has bluetooth and it has not dont buy this phone

  • Please the blue tooth of my phone is not working since i bought it. more over i have to charge it every day thirdly it is going off by it self thanks

  • Regarding Bluetooth on this phone - The Bluetooth function on this phone only enables you to connect to a Bluetooth headset for hands free operation and not connection to another mobile phone for sharing files, photo's or any multimedia. When I realised this on my own phone I sold it.

  • cannot get phone to work at all could this be faulty battery any ideas

  • blue tooth not workin!!....whats wrong with it??..

  • I bought mobile set a mounth ago. Although in my set there is a option for bluetooth ,but it's no working....... I check by another bluetooth device...but stitt not getting connection to my mobile......is there any solution or any technical problem then please inform me.

  • I bought this phone for my wife 10 months ago. She has never been able to manage the keyboard (keys to small),also the battery needs charging every night.So I must say this phone is a reall let down. This week the battery cover came off and was lost,I was amazed that you are unable to buy or even order the part. Tried the O2 shop and the shop that sold the phone but they did not want to know. They only said that if I had got it covered by insurance it could be sent back for repair,surely that would mean a battery cover.........so where do I get one.

  • Phone has been for repair, yes there was an inherant problem with one of the components. Also had software upgrade, which is meant to sort out some other problems. Will report back whether or not this improves matters.

  • Mine is going back today. There is a serious glitch in the phone which will make the phone do wierd things (black screen, switches off- very annoying when talking to recruitment agents!)and then results in it not being able to hold charge for longer than a day. Charge it overnight and don't expect to be able to use it by the following evening. This happened to mine 3 weeks after i got it as a b'day prsent. Not Impressed.

  • im 11 i thought it was a goog phone i had 7 pound taken off me every time i top up and the bluetooth wont work it is crap

  • great looking phone for the money, i was looking for a nokia but there was only top and bottom of the range nokias available, there are some inherent problems regarding bluetooth being headset only, and the fact that it's not advertised as such! The text system is not great but useable, but I am happy with it personally, the camera isn't all that bad, it's cheap, you get what you pay for!

  • I've had this phone for 9 months. I can't afford another one. I got it because the Nokia I wanted was out of stock and this one was the only one they had and I absolutely needed a phone. And it sucks. Seriously. It's a complete pain in the rear.

  • how do i find the blue tooth

  • Hi Puck, You can turn off the start up and shut down tones but it also turns off the ring tone so incomming calls only use the vibrate, not a lot of good if you dont have it near you.

  • As an old guy, i only use it for phoning and texting. The thing that bugs me is that I can't turn off the noise on start up and shut down. Apart from that being short-sighted i wish the keypad was twice the size it is.hi.hi. ttfn.

  • um its not proper bluetooth its crap.. it only picks up bluetooth headsets.. sorry guys its crud!

  • How Do u get the bluetooth 2 work please help any 1 know please tell me

  • This phone is a load of crap, Bluetooth won't work with my computer GRRRR does anyone know if it will work with a computer or is it just a headset it will work with... Tom

  • I've had this phone for about half a year now as a replacement for my old phone (I lost it :() It's good for just calling and texting, the camera is good for only having pictures to put to people when they call. The bluetooth is useless aswell.

  • This phone looks really good i've had mine for 6 months now and i am really pleased with what it can do. this phone is amazing if ur a first phone buyer, but dont buy one if your looking of a phone full of gagets. the blue tooth on this phone only works on the head set and does not let you send or recive files. there is not loud speacker so its hard to hear in loud places. the pictures that the camra takes are some times ditorted and also very poor. The memery on the phone is rubbish it only holds about 30 pictures MAX. you cant play MP3 or videos. I would only give this phone 2 small children or old people because it lacks interesst. also when you open a text message from your inbox it takes ages even if ur inbox is empty scrolling also takes ages. the key pad is also very small so some times u press 2 buttions at the same time.

  • i think this phone was a rip off, yeah it has a camera but it does'nt ave video capture or BLUETOOTH (which it says it has) i ave now bought a new phone which was excellent value 4 money buy the MOTOROLLA l6

  • hi.. can anybody help me .. how to upload the photos from the phone to the pc

  • this fone is so anoyin as it doent tell u in shop that the bluetooth is just 4 callin!!!!!

  • if you want to know how to lock the keypad just hold in the hash button # if that hasnt already been posted i havent even got one its my frinends i was looking at the bluetooth owner i have now just became the pround owner of a brand new sony ericsson w810i and still have a k750i lol ;)

  • well i want to buy this phone but before i bought it i red some of the riews and it says that the bluetooth doesn't work, only for headsets. and i washed my brain or asked my brain if i wanted this phone. and i couldn't buy it so this phone isn't that good from what i have red.

  • how do u get the bluetooth 2work i cant recive files any 1no how

  • how do u recive files from mymatesfones bluetooth is on and i cant find friends

  • Any one know how to lock the key pad? Its costing me a fortune in calls while it is in my pocket!

  • the phone is ok but i am VERY disapionted that the bluetooth is only for headsets as i am waiting for a phone with bluetooth off my mum. last night my old phone broke and i thought 4 60 quid a phone with bluetooth was great. big let down!!!!!

  • I am reasonably unfamiliar with bluetooth and only know its basic funcctions. It sounds as though it is a problem which cannot be sorted. Does this then mean that I cannot send a recieve pictures, videos and sounds for free within a bluetooth network, or does it mean that it has restricted capabilities.

  • its a good phone and i didnt relise it was a different sort of bluetooth the only problem is when trying to get pics and theres a phone list wheres this phone? lol ive had it since christmas and hasnt failed me once another thing the txting when i put ee or something like that it wont let me do it quickly i have to wait what do i press?

  • good phone, being using it 4 about 3 month and it is still working perfectly. d only problem is dat i can't browse on it. but it is ok. and it is not expensive

  • The bluetooth is for linking to a Bluetooth Headset and thats it.

  • I got the phone via O2 for nothing so I should not complain, but sorry I am going to the bluetooth is useless will not send and receive files. Sorry to say whats the point ?

  • its ok you just hAVE TO CALL THE number on the piece of card that comes withe zee phioe

  • it is quite crap cause the blue tooth is hard to work if u know how tae work it rite someting in

  • how do you get bluetooth to work? i cant do it i've tried, anyone know how to?

  • yes i had trouble with that aswell

  • how do i activate the top up card

  • I can't get bluetooth to work!!!Apart from that ita a good phone.

  • ur all moaning about this phone well a phone is used for ringing people and it does that and it texts. Its a bargain phone so stop complaning, although if they had the same phone look but with more features more people would buy it.

  • despite some flaws, this phone is a great budget phone. for me at least, it does all the basic things like sending texts and phoning people.the games aren't great, but generally, people don't buy a phone just for the games. the camera is a nice little addon, and although doesn't take print quality pics, it is what you'd expect from a phone that costs �50. the only problems i can find are that when navigating the menu, it seems to lag a bit, and the fact that the bluetooth is only for a headset (a non-bluetooth handsfree headset comes in the box). overall, it is a great phone like for someones first phone or something like that. it also makes a great phone if you are just looking for something simple at a cheap price. many people are saying it is not very good, but it is great quality for the price range.

  • This phone seems similar to the Siemens AP75 except the Siemens has a better bluetooth than the o2 x1b. If you are going to get the o2 phone then you will be better off getting the Siemens (it looks nicer)

  • bought thid fone about 2 hours ago and gave it away already i thought i was getting a great deal with the bluetooth how worng colud i have been !!!!!!!!!!!! it doesnt work i am only 14 and needed a new fone cos mine broke this morning so really needed a new one wat a waste of �60 camera is rubbish ringtones are rubbish games are rubbish so basically DONT BUY IT

  • i got this phone because i thought it would be better than the 3310 that id had for about 2 years but except from colour screen its really not and as for the bluetooth it dnt even work i cant get it to work. do you have to have a headset for it to work if so then that sucks!! please write to me and tell me whats going on with this phone! lol cheers emma

  • good phone but driving me mad i bought it off e bay cant find blue tooth dont think they sent me a headset di i need one

  • Is a cruddy phone - but what do you expect when it's so cheap. Can anyone tell me how to just have message alert on silent???? Will only vibrate or ring out!

  • hi.has anyone had the screen crack for no reason.it has happened to two of my phones,and the cracks are almost identical,making me think it is a fault

  • Hi you need to follow the instructions on pages 110/111 in the o2X1b handbook. Also follow the instructions for pairing in the Bluetooth handbook, its basic but works fine. The bluetooth only work the headset, nothing else.

  • I had the previous model to the X1B and I don't believe there have been any major changes. A few more ringtones, wallpapers and colour of the phone has changed but not that great after all. Bit disappointed that bluetooth wasn't what I thought it was.

  • how do you work bluetooth on this phone????

  • Hi, i would like to know how you can get polyphonic ringtones onto the mobile, any help would be greatly appreciated

  • how do u work this bluetooth

  • Can anyone tell me if they have had trouble getting the bluetooth working and if so how they sorted it our?ot the bluetooth working? Have just brought the phone and a separate headset but they will not connect together. The phone initially recognises the BT headset but when I select it to connect the phone says it can't find a headset!

  • this phone is sold as a benQ phone in Singapore..know as m315..its the cheapers bluethooth phone..witha free blue tooth heasset inbox!not a bad deal though

  • This phone is not so good, you have to buy a headset to get the bluetooth to work. The camara quality is very poor. Its a good design but not a great phone if you want decent quality.

  • Dis phone is ok sumtimes, but da riongtones are quite crap, and wots da point in saying its got bluetooth wen its not da 1 where you can recieve things from other pep's phones!!!!!!!!!!!

  • bluetooth crap ringtones crap camera not great memory small (30 pics) predictive txt slow wot more can i say? don't buy it

  • i got this phone in november stupid thing keeps switching off all time for no reason and battery dont even last a day

  • I bought this phone back in late July. It been in twice for repair and replaced once.When i need to i get phone anyone and the same them for me.My txts dnt always arrive to them nor them to me.I dont have half the things i was ment to be given with the phne.The internet doesnt work.I and it costing me a fortune to even get in contact with the company.

  • Press and hold 0 key to activate blue tooth.

  • it dose have blue tooth but is only for a hands free kit not to get stuff off other peoples phone

  • It's a great phone! Takes a bit of getting used to because it's O2's own brand but still good. However, the bluetooth only works for headsets, it does not have infrared and you can't turn off the annoying sounds when you turn it on or off. Excellent camera quality though and not bad to use. Perhaps a little slow going between menus.

  • yes it does have bluetooth and yes do get it! its a great phone and remember to switch the camera to high quality for full affect.

  • pliz help me out on how i can activate the bluetooth. Or was it a prank?? Does the phone really have bluetooth?

  • ive only jus got this phone what is the acuall make jus X1B but it not there when i try and search for it all i find is nokia and stuff lo why what make make like nokia?

  • Hey. My old phone got nicked and i want 2 get this 1. Gd idea?

  • ive Had my nokia 3310 for ages and decided a change and found this fone for only �30!!! ive bought it and waiting it arrival. Hope its not so cruddy as yu guys make it out to be. George

  • A nice basic phone for the price, shame about the Bluetooth though.

  • how do i turn my 02x1b on when i first get it as ive put it on charge and it aint turning on someone plz help me!

  • how do u switch bluetooth on the fone when it has not got the softwere for it hola me bk if u no how to do it dave

  • i think that the o2 x1b should at least have bluetooth or infared not just bluetooth headset

  • o2x1b is available from amazon .co.uk for �45

  • based on the whole is this phone any good and do you have to a headset for bluetooth

  • it isnt that big...but im sure it will do the job for u hannah darling ;)

  • This phone is well good. It has a good camera, which i used to take a sound photo of our lass. Ya feeling me

  • hi im gettin dis phone my dad has ordered it 4 me is it really dat bad r der ne gud points n how long is it thanks

  • AVOID AVOID AVOID my mates got this phone has had replaced 3 times! Bluetooth is not worth mentioning picture qauilty poor. overall bad

  • I'm only buying the phone because my old one is a lil knackerd but it does the basic funtions a phone should do right ? text, ring and keep track of the time.......... you should not really have so much expectations on a phone that costs less then �100 these days. Anything else apart from text, ringing, colour screen, calendar and keeping track of time is a bonus.

  • Hi all i bought this phone 3 weeks ago and now i have no ringtone at all can anyone help! As what use is a phone i cant hear many thanks Kat

  • Damn this gay phone i hate it. Bluetooth is none-existant on it n the picture quality is dire. The only good side is tht i can access google AND MSN werever i am and its not tht expensive. Overall though its a poor attempt at a mobile phone and if i had the choice i wouldnt but it again.

  • hi bought phone thought it was a bargain bluetooth ect had a lot of probs trying to get it to set up only to realize you cant tranfer files and that thought it was a bargain but o2 should make it more clearer good job i didnt give it to my daughter for her xmas present she wants a bluetooth she would have been well dissapointed

  • I bought this phone about a month ago cos a friend of mine bought it and I had been with o2 on a Nokia phone for a couple of years. The TXT service is really crap compared to Nokia, you can't forward multiple TXTs to people (you have to do it individually) and a lot of the time they don't even receive them. Moreover, it took a whole week to charge and still didn't charge up fully so I returned it for another handset which I've used for a week and has now been on charging since last night. Looks as if I'm back to square 1 as it still doens't show the signal for Battery Charged. Does anyone else have this problem. How in Dick's name do you know if the batteries are charged if it doesn't tell you?

  • not v.good as not compatible with any ringtones hardly and will not download any games of any sort , can only use what is built in to phone really come on o2 catch up with your own products

  • wrong emails sorry. again how do u connect the blue tooth up to recive calls.

  • i got this phone afew weeks ago because i lost my other phone. I was dissapointed to find out that the bluetooth can NOT be used to transfer files i.e music and pictures from others. You can only use the bluetooth for talking to someone on the phone through a headpiece. For example in the car. Its a bump!

  • I have had my o2 x1b for about 3 or 4 months now, its a great wee fone, bluetooth is limited to calls only but i dont see it as much of a problem altho if u r buyin the fone on the basis of it havin bluetooth please be aware it can only b used for calls. THe txt is a little slower than my nokia was before it, but i only bought it as a cheap replacement because my nokia broke, note: do not buy nokia 3200 cos as soon as u drop it, it breaks.

  • i think o2 is genuce but the o2x1b has not the same gd looks as the o2x1i or fueturs or peformence ok buy the o2x1i if u want agd phne for f***all buy one of thes but look at the ratings first the o2x1i costs �59.99 x1b �69.99 no difrence in both phones except style

  • seemed like the cheap phone to buy. but only really bought it for the bluetooth and camera. the camera is a bit poor (no zoom) and the bluetooth is even worse with not being able to send files, you can only use it with headsets. wouldnt advise you buy this phone unless you are willing to compromise on some features on it, you would probably do better to spend an extra ten-fifteen pounds on a slightly better phone. 6/10

  • hi, just wondering if anyone has got anything good to say about this phone?! I am considering buying it and have tried it in the shop but, after reading the reviews on this site, am not sure. Also, can anyone explain to me how bluetooth actually works; I am confused by all the technical stuff!!!

  • i thought it was gd until i tried getting some things through by bluetooth and it doesnt't work i dont know if u need a headset and dont know hwere to find out

  • Please compare the BenQ M300 to this phone. You will find why that it's wise to buy M300. O2 is copying the designs of BenQ and O2 doesn't gives you much features comparing to BenQ.

  • I bought this phone a few weeks ago to replace my out dated siemens C45, and so far so good! Firstly the size and weight allow it to fit nicely into your pocket, you'll hardly notice it in there. It�s a fairly stylish looking phone, but I would recommend the dark grey and silver version, as I believe it looks nicer. The menus are really easy to navigate, but on the odd occasions you might get a few split second delays, nothing that�ll hinder anyone with an ounce of patients. As for the camera, all I can say is I wish I could show you the pic I took of my niece on her birthday, great quality for a �60 phone! It even has quick change over options for night, indoors and outdoors as well as the auto. I tried the night function and it coped really well in dark environments. The bluetooth only works with head sets and won�t transfer data, however I bought this phone so I could use it with a wireless head set and it worked fine on two 4hour trips. I must also add that when I switched from my old phone I decided to keep my old sim, unfortunately my old sim needed up dating and the settings to be changed, however the via the awesome help I received from o2 customer service I�m now fully functional with MMS, GPRS etc. To sum up, I�d say you get a lot for �60 with this phone, and consider the next phone in the o2 range (the Ericsson) is more expensive and has no bluetooth at all. I if you�re after a phone that�ll be your friend and entertain you 247 because you have no friends, this phone isn�t for you. If you want a phone with some nice level entry features, I�d say for a mere �60 you can�t go wrong. P.S I�m a BSc Product Design graduate if that helps validate my opinion.

  • i think it is sh**ive got a o2x1i my freaind has the o2 x1b and it never works i said buy a cheap relly gd phne the o2x1i he did he is happy now and a asme camera get it is �60.

  • After a lot of searching for a data cable for this I found that the O2 X1b is really a Benq m315 and cables which seem compatible are available cheap on ebay. So hopefully I can now download my pictures and upload my own ringtones.

  • iv had this fone 4 2months a can not get my bluetooth workin wen i try turn it on an add devices it says its empty y say its got blue tooth if it dnt work bad deal an o2 need rportin any ideas how 2 get it workin please

  • my phone keeps sayin limit service across it and no 1 can phone me

  • i have just bought this phone for �70 and i bought it because it had the bluetooth feature, is there any point in this bluetooth if you CAN'T send pictures or ringtones? can some tell me how to activate my bluetooth, thanks for any help!

  • i have just bought this phone for �70 and i bought it because it had the bluetooth feature, is there any point in this bluetooth if you CAN'T send pictures or ringtones? can some tell me how to activate my bluetooth, thanks for any help!

  • Anybody know how to get rid of the operator logo on this phone?

  • I thought this phone was a good deal, but i have taken it back to the shop! it was a slow texter and let me text while my phone was on lock!!Very disappointing, now going to try a siemens.

  • Does anyone know where I can get a data cable for the O2 X1b. O2 don't sell them & I was wondering if a 3rd party dealer did?

  • im getting my phone on saturday and i just want to no if u can recive and play mp3 tones on the phone. And if theres a sound recorder

  • Sarah- where did you get this phone for �40 plus �10 voucher? Sounds like a great deal- much more expensive on the 02 website. Let me know! Thanks ;-)

  • can it send picture messages?

  • hey i brought this phone n wen i try to connect to blue tooth it says empty do i have to set it up or wat can sum 1 hepl me plz

  • i know bluetooth is for the headset only, but what exactly does that mean? coz mine doesnt work!

  • I bought this phone t'other day for �60 and it's a very good basic phone. It hasn't got the best features, but it works fine - especially for the price! One little niggle - the screen at the top right corner seems to be sticking out slightly and a bit of dust is getting behind. Is there any way of fixin this, or should i get it loooooked at in a shop? Email your answers please. NOTE, this is probably just my phone and it shouldn't stop anyone buying one.

  • the bluetooth on the o2 x1b is for the headset only you cant send pictures or ringtones vire bluetooth the fones should say that on the box bad reatings for o2

  • right well i only got this phone yesterday and i cant really activate the bluetooth. it just says add device and the list is empty. would appreciate any ideas.

  • can i transfer music from my works phone to this phone via bluetooth has anyone any idea cheers michelle

  • with my i-mate, sp3i, if i want to use speakerphone while i'm talking on the phone, i just hold down the "send" button for a second, and the speakerphone will be on. try that.

  • Its a good basic phone but how do you use the speakerphone when in convosation?

  • my fone is fine the camera works perfectly and it zooms in also my bluetooth works so im happy

  • Sorry, Caz, just re-read your post. Argos won't exchange it within 28 days if there's technically nothing wrong with it. Let's hope it goes faulty...

  • Caz, how long have you had the phone for? Within 28 days Argos should be taking it back, but outside of that you should still be able to return it to an O2 store for repair / replacement (of the same model). The phone itself is provied by a 12 month warranty from the manufacturer (in this case O2)so any faults occuring in that time must be resolved. It's also worth bearing in mind that when a phone is purchased in an O2 store, it comes with a 14 day guarantee that allows you to take it back for a full refund /replacment if you don't like it and 28 days for a full refund / replacement if it goes faulty. Outside of that it reverts back to the normal warranty.

  • I bought this because i wanted a good phone with a camera and bluetooth. Sadly, the camera is grainy and useless, the bluetooth doesn't send pictures, and the phone is extremely slow. For �60 it was a complete waste of money, I've contacted O2 and i want a refund.

  • outstanding
