Orange Sydney - User Reviews

  • i have equally failed to make a call on the same handset

  • Honestly, one of the worst phones I have ever been given as a present. The camera was awful, couldn't go on the internet and couldn't download any apps. Had this phone for about a year and a half before realising it was rubbish. It did make phone calls and texts, so I guess was alright in that sense.

  • I honestly have no idea why I bought this phone, it's totally useless, calls don't work ,texts don't, camera is awful. It's So slow, is so frustrating. Seriously, don't buy this phone, worst ever

  • ZTE. The actual model name is the ZTE N295.

  • i am a disappointed with the fact that i cannot use my sydney phone to download upload pictures on facebook.

  • my sydney turns itself off when im on facebook and when i sent a text (dont do it all the time) but its so anoying anyone help??

  • just go to a phone shop and get it repaired there!

  • how can i call anyone without them having to be in my contacts list for instene the police 999 how can i quickly call them if i neen them

  • hello can anyone help me repair my sydney phone it needs a new screen

  • turn up the volume when not on loadspeaker.

  • I'm glad it was only £20 including £10 airtime. Not being able to change the text tone from the 10 crap inbuilt ones is a joke nowadays. Touchscreen needs a stylus as well. If I'd known how crap it was, I would not have bought it.

  • great value for money to be honest. i've paid £19.90 for it with £10 credit on PAYG. more than one year ago, i'm still with it and wouldn't think about change if i didnt fancy a tablet - thinking bout Asus Fonepad. -it's simple, others would say basic; -it does have wi-fi, which i recognise it is slow; -it reads mp3, but won't read aac and some wma; -it does have loudspeakers but they're not great; -the camera works on non obscure environments and it does capture the moments, but you'll need clarity and skill to get a perfect or even great picture. s o what i can tell you is that this mobile phone satisfies 90% of my needs as a phone and 10% of my needs as a smartphone. for £10 it's more than i was expecting to be honest. a humble companion for a humble person. it is what it is.

  • people can here me i cant here them only on loud speaker any ideas please???

  • I got it from £35 from Argos.

  • just got this phone yesterday Havant had a chance 2 play with it yet but reading all the comments im really regretting buying it

  • I can't see the sar raing listed here. anyone know?

  • £50?? I paid £22 for mine (Asda) including some airtime, which is why I said its fair value for £

  • Fairly good value as it has all the basic range of features. However, it can only store about 50 text messages and I can't see anyway to download or backup ones I want to keep, so it when it gets full it soon blocks any incoming messages and prevents you from sending them without saving what you've just typed. Also no games! Two stars.

  • how to do if an antena of a wide wifi network locked the phone and it makes strongly the use of the phone how should i unlocked it?

  • in my opinion the sydney is rubbish i was unable to turn it off however it had to b returned i think it is rubbish rather buy a phone like iphone which iv got now so dnt buy a sydney as its not worth the money

  • no offence but why do u have 7 orange sydneys weird

  • how do i get cds on my hone

  • I want to install Java but I don't know how. Could anyone find their time to help me?

  • I love the phone but the thing is that I wnat to buy a silicone case with it but I don't know where they sell it. So would anyone like to help me?

  • predictive text does'nt seem to work and it is activated but not forming words

  • I think the phone looks great! I'm saving up with my pocket money to get it and I can't wait! My current phone is an Alcatel OT-708, its a great phone but now its to small for my fingers!

  • One of the worst phones EVER! I have had this phone for nearly a year and have had it replaced by orange 15 times so far. Its a really cheap phone so only buy it for technology dinosaurs...

  • A very cheap phone, very limited internal space, can barely install any java apps (due to FB and Twitter consuming at least 60% of its capacity). Touch screen is 'Average', using Calibration in settings helps. Limited storage for music/pictures/videos (24mb). Yes, a cheap phone...but don't we know it after using this phone. "Read the first comment, about having 7 of these phones... it made me laugh due to it's sarcasm"

  • What do you expect from a cheap phone. dumbest comment I've seen someone say about a phone, it's not like your going to get a super fast cpu, or Android OS.

  • actually i have the touch screen Sydney mobile which belong to ZTE company but the touch sensor is not working now. i need to replace the touch screen sensor . By the way i am Sulav Adhikari from Nepal. Please mail me at [email protected] how can i get touch screen from the company

  • this phone is the worst ive ever had, the touchscreen is slow when you've had it about two months, you can't watch youtube, there is no qwerty keyboard for texting, its not a smartphone, an all round joke for £50.

  • I don't understand the other comments, maybe I got a defective phone, but here's my experience. The touchscreen is alright, it's got a decent photo editor and, for it's price range, a decent video camera and the interface looks very good. But that's where 'good' stops. It's horribly slow. When it comes to java apps, I know of no phone cheaper or more expensive that's as slow as this. Texting is also very very very slow. Once you press a letter you have to wait about 0.5 seconds before pressing another, not an exaggeration. Battery life is a day without WiFi or Bluetooth. WiFi is useless, when it works it's too slow to be worth it. The speaker is very quiet, inaudible in public places. Message tones cannot be customised and all the presets (only ones you can choose) are long, annoying and nothingy. Mine started freezing at regular intervals after 10 days and shortly after the touchscreen broke and the colours went strange. I no longer have it. Use your sense, spend less and get a better phone. I'm well aware I should be constructive rather than just criticize, but I am finding it very difficult with this phone.

  • How to activate the accelerometer on this phone?

  • this phone is the best phone ever for the price well....OMG i would recamend it to evryone at all agesevrything is perfect in everyons exprience i love it love it sooooo much brilliant if your thinking about getting the phone well get it it will be the best thing you have ever done trust me BEST PHONE EVER CHEAP PRICE PERFECT!!!
