  • I have also a PHILIPS 160 Mbile phone and it works same to you.

  • I've been used this phone since December 2005. I never changed the baterry I spoke 500 hours and i send thousand of sms and now the baterry lifetime in stand-by is 10 days and when i use it normally 3-4 days. A very very rezistant and good phone. Love it !

  • This phone is the best one I have ever used and the toughest phone I have ever seen

  • this phone is so cool i vwe been using it for 10 years

  • I am using this model of Philips 160 mobile for the past 4.1/2 years. Its still so good. Only problem is that the the key pad and blue colour on the casing has started fading. I would like to replace the casing and key pad. Can anybody please help and guide me where I can buy the original accessories in Kuala Lumpur? Thanks.

  • Very Good Phone . I keep usig it for 5 years :) . Long battery and resistant :)

  • im a srilankan. im proud 2 use thz phe.itz cooooooooool.

  • Saya beli di Yogya Rp. 450.000,- pada Agustus 2007 Baterai rata-rata 1 minggu, termasuk HP hebat karena berulang kali dilempar dan jatuh tidak rusak-rusak. Ini karena bahan (kemasan) HP bagus anti gores dan seperti ada pernya. (karet)

  • nonoy i have a one of this phone.. it's so simple and comportable !!! mas okay kay sa mga bagong nokia na walang camera!!!

  • This is my first phone.. i have a lot of memories with it.. And now i am a siemens user. But its ringtone still buzzing in my ear.. i search those every where but no use.. its ringtones are *Relaxopt, *Impulse, *Kristal etc. If Any one of you have these ringtones please send me at [email protected] and i promise that i will return the favour..!

  • where i can find service center here in the philippines?

  • did this have an gprs to connect with internet..all please tell me thanx..in indonesia u need cost 415.000 rupiahs

  • It's a good phone and accesible.I don't like something at it.Hard accesibility on it .But the prices are small so it's good when you see how much it is.

  • Bought this for RM199 in Malaysia. It's a good, solid phone. However, it's recently started "hanging" on me.. and sometimes the entire address book disappears and requires a restart for it to come back (may be the sim card or the phone - don't know which). And I've already run out of address book space. Will have to start looking for a basic nokia phone which hopefully won't hang and has more memory. All in all, it's good with "no frills". Great as an entry-level phone - and the "fake" colour screen is a bonus.. so much more fun than plain ol' monochrome.

  • so cheap and good quality. anyone know where can download the ringtone for it?

  • i bought this hp @rm260 in malaysia. this is the best hp i ever have. the ringtone is better than nokia even though it is just a simple phone. looking forward to see philips corp. to launch another new cell phone :-D

  • Used for a week now, very satisfied. For that much money, we should not expect too much. This is just a simple, reliable handphone to communicate with people. No camera and other extras which will suck on the batery.I traded in for my Nokia 3650, which gave me endless problem - imagine it shuts down 50 times a day and display go blank - unreliable. They want USD 60 to repair with no guarantee.Now I am a happy man.

  • Its a good phone among the entry level class of mobile phones, the fact that its battery life is long is good enough for a phone at this affordable price. Its selling at $140 in Singapore without any subscription contract with any Telco. Should be able to meet the needs of people like me who need a no-fuss phone mostly for calls and SMSing.

  • yes, we bought this phone for RM185 at the local hypermarket. no tie up with telco, open phone. the first charge lasted 8 days...with some call in between. the longest battery life in such a cheap phone. no, it don't have wap, no music download, but i saw one connect at the back of the phone, probably it is for phone service, and might be able to get songs in.

  • I just bought it yesterday for RM 185 Yes, it can vibrate... but it's somewhat slippery in your hand I'm testing the battery life now..I hope that the 400 hours battery life fact is true

  • In Romania you can buy this phone on vodafone contract with $1!!seriously...so enough with it! Does anybody know if it has vibration?...Cause I read somewhere that it hasn't...it better be not true !!!

  • I have a question. How I can get a new music on this phone? It hasn't any WAP.

  • High quality at low price. What else do you want? I have it since october and it's great. It has all i ever needed for a telephone. I have no bad comment. You should try it too ;)

  • does anyone have wap on this philips 160? they say here thai it must have, but it's not true. than how can i download ringtones into it? WTF! however, it was only 9$ (almost free), so it's a great phone for those who only talk and don't play with it. battery life is huuuuge in comparison with other models, it even beats nokia!

  • Hello guys, What u expect for a phone selling at price abt USD50? If u want style and class,please pay a lot more to get other brand or model. Dun complain here and there. What is this.

  • woo man i have never seen such a gr8 mobyl like philips 160...!! THANK U PHILIPS 4 MAKING SUCH A GR8 MOBILE...

  • it is a great phone with price at rm199. stlyis and small. better than nokia 1100.

  • i just bought it for RM199.00. Here in malaysia, the price of this phone is very affordable.

  • The reception is great, the acoustics are well-balanced, also the life of the battery is long. Simple and reliable phone. Low price, good quality. I bought it a week ago with less than 58 US Dollars (VAT included)no contract, here in Bucharest, Romania.

  • in romania, this phone cost 64$, not 80

  • In Hungary, ios not so popular the philips, but it1s a great ohone, i think. Smart design low price. Philips is good. I hope, the philips will more cell sale in Hungary.

  • hi, i have bought this cell a week ago.well this is the no.1 cell phone in lowest price.it is with 1 year warranty and 6 month battery warranty.the best things about is the radiation level or SAR level.its only 0.567 so health concern people can be totally tention free.the style is good and it's almost like NOKIA 1100.so far its giving me a great service. bye, take care

  • It's a good telefon for his price (80$ in Romania) and I will be more happy if I find a whay to link the phone to computer to modify things like .bmp, .mid ...

  • This is the phone going to hit the Indian Market for $20 soon. That's great since it looks and features are much much much better than most other Nokia and Samsung models that sell at more than double its price.

  • I am 16.Tomorrow I buy this mobile. It is great. Its Ring tone are very good then Siemens..................

  • i dont like its sceensaverand its big problem for me to download defferent types of ringtone how can i do this??

  • hi folks, i m marshal from BANGLADESH, Dhaka. appearently its seems like this phone is so cool. in our bd its worlth only 52$. but things like this is not a suitable gadget. and furthermore this phone doesnt have any prestigious look

  • It's stupid to have a color graphic background and just monochrome screen.

  • Looks good and easy to use, reminds me also a Siemens.
