  • Hello, somebody offer me this phone, but how to connect with wap? It still works? Please can you help? Have a nice day!!!

  • i m using this tis is best phone in batery backup

  • Hi all, I have used this phone for now 3 years. i had no problem with it. it s excellent battery life. i used 2 charge it once in 4 days.... Now i have nokia 5610 but still i use my baby........

  • This phone is good, but the keypad is to smooth, and the fungtion is limited

  • The phone is the best I ever bought but the one I also sometimes regret for. I have tried for almost 2 years looking for a new screen/housing and keypad but not success. Email me if you can help me get one Thanks

  • Haw can i get a new ringing tons?

  • The phone is nice and very portable. However, it seems it is very difficult to get its accessories. I have been looking for a new housing unit with screen and keypad for more than a year. I have not had one. I still look for one

  • does anyone know how to delete a number in the OWN NUMBER list, if I try this, it keeps failing. What also fails, is deleting all the contacts. Does anyone know why this doensn't work? Another min of the phone is that it doensn't have a speaker. But it's a pretty good and cheap phone with a great, solid design and no extra features you won't use..

  • i like this cell phone.

  • THE phone is great. But the question remains unanswered, can you download pictures and midi song via sms or cable connection?

  • It's good but the speaker is very "silent" you can't hear when u speak with someone. In rest ok for that price

  • can i register sounds ??

  • it has delivery report and if u move sms to archive u wil have more space.a datacable have enyone seen?mail me pls.

  • it is good,china phone,but haw can i download a wallpaper,a ringtone here in Romania?

  • I am using this one for the last one year. For me its ok, but the phone has got disadvantages than advatages. We have to "jump" on the keypad to do some typing.... Aslo, sms memory is very low... after receiving few smss, its shows "Memory full". Battery back up also not so good. The keypad coating/printing is of very low quality and the letters gets erased soon. Spares (case, keypad etc.) are not avilable anywhere. If you are planning to buy it... Please don't buy it.

  • I want to buy this one, any information this phone has delivery report?? Thanks all

  • I like this phone. I like how it's work, nice sound and nice colours. The design is amazing. Thank you.

  • In Malaysia,FYI,its only RM299 without registration. This means the hardore poor people can now own a brand new colour phone without paying for an arm and a leg. Good Job Philips!!!

  • This phone has theese advantages: - 4000 colors display; - supports: midi, jpeg, gif, bmp; - compact; - battery up to 7 days on stand by This phones bad issues: - writing SMS it's a real chalange because you have to push buttons very hard; - no advanced functions are included; - you cannot turn off sound when you play a game. It is a best buy option for users with basic needs.

  • the 162 is only one good model in philips. but no ring tone downloding option& COMPOSER.to compare nokia rate is high. nokia 2600 rate is 3800/-. 162 is 3790/-. service center perfamance is very very very very very very very very very poor at coimbatore,tamilnadu,india.

  • Can i connect philips 162 to pc with cable and send files into it? thanks

  • much more than supercalifragilisticexpelidoushes(means exelent)

  • One of the worst phones available in the market right now. A definite no no even for a lame customer. battery back up is poor, the microphone is screwed up and there are no additional features like voice recording, as in Sony-Ericsson T2130.....

  • I bought philips 162 on jun 22,2005 three hours later 'insert simcard' the action to be very slow and the phone cannot be charged jun 23, they (the Shop) exchange with the new phone but 'insert simcard' appear twice and this day (jun 24, 1.30PM) appear four times must be back the phone again ? what can I do ? thanks, hars [email protected]

  • Well...I shall see what it can do...perhaps is a good phone...i hope so... At the first look, my oppinion is that it can offer a lot... for someone who just want have the phone for talking and no other purposes. best regards., Sion

  • an exellent phone with good features and a value of a basic phone.a point to be noticed is that the screen gets a bit dark after some time of usage and the keypad is also a bit prone to getting a bit dusty.

  • Hey Guru, I think you accidentally deleted the ring tones (two ring tones are protected. rest all can be deleted). Software upgradation is a possible way out. Or download from yahoo.co.in through SMS.

  • Hi, I have only two ring towns seetings . can you please send/programm other rings town. Please let me know how. Iam in India Please suggest.

  • this phone is good but the keys are loosing the paint and it acculmulates dirt in the ear peace hole. thats it the philips company should see this defects.

  • this phone is the best amongst the worst

  • This phone is a crap

  • That "coming soon" is already for quite some time there. When do they launch this phone?

  • is it possible to download ringtones?plz reply soon as i m planning to buy it immediately....

  • Hey that's a cool phone for a cool price. I think they will make Nokia run for the money if they get great models at super low cost. GOOOOOOOOOO... ahead PHILIPS get it

  • philips 162 is real excitement and for me it was a welcome at such a low price,especially for people who want to fell the difference- from nokias and motos

  • just 100 usd, great great looking, great effort from philips for the price.

  • Its a good BUDGET phone that Philips has provided..BYe Bye to mono chrome NOKIAS!Thank You Philips for thinking of budget users like me!

  • In my opinion Philips 166 is very nice and good model for prepaid users :-)

  • very nice for a low cost prepaid phone. greetzz from The Netherlands
