Philips 362 - User Reviews

  • I like my phone,but I don't know many thinks abaut him 1.why I can't receive or send MMS? 2.why I can't receive songs by infrared? 3.when I open my phone,after it been closed,I receive an SMS.In this SMS,I know I receive one,two.three...calls,OK.But in SMS is just the number,and I don't know the person who call.why and can I fix this? a.s.a.p.

  • probaly the worst phone i ever had, it sucks in every aspect

  • Hi guys how can I increase the voice volume of the caller? the volume of the caller is so low .

  • philips phone's compatible devices such as data cable,irda are not available in market but why?

  • That`s because you buy =)) made-on-ship fake`s I bought mine from an philips store....I have it for 2 years and I`m proud of it still...it`s a bit too silent when it rings but it`s oke :)

  • I can't believe anyone could still buy this phone! Its one of the worst phones ever! I've had it for almost 2 years. Even do its cheap its still not worth buying. The moment I changed this phone was a blessing. You don't have to look at the camera or the sending capabilities to see its a bad phone. The sound is bad, the reseption is worst, all basic functions are bad. I basicaly had to smash the phone on the table to make it work. This happened every time someone called me. The only good thing I have to say about the 362 is that it looks good in my opinion.

  • How can I receive an MMS and how to activate my email? Can anyone help me with this?

  • I am frustrated with this phone. Its sound quality is poor.Picture quality is bad. Internet connectivity is poor. Its a bad phone. I do not recommend it.

  • the quality of the camera is very baaaadd...,ive been using this phone for almost one year,,,, now it was dead..it also took me a thousand pesos in order to repair the phone..then the wap services is not file supported, i cant able to accept mms from the operator...then the picture quality was so disappointing..it makes me shy when i once gave my friends picture to him,it looks like the picture was shock...and malformed so for those who can read this,,,,,,,DONT BUY THIS PHONE !!!!!!

  • Flash! in order to recive pictures or sounds, u must first activate irda! For sending as u have seen it's not necesary to do this.

  • Been using it for almost two years and can't complain much. It's light and embossed buttons makes it easy to use even for a person with big fingers. Battery life is good (5-days practical standby) and those complaining about it not being the full 400h should know that these times are theoretical battery tech time, in practice the max life is about half that on any phone. Photo quality is low, alarm max volume is also quite low. Flash can be used at flashlight. Menu is easy to use. IR works well and it's no hassle to install MIDP applications (remember to install both IR drivers, phone drivers and phone software from Philips site).

  • the problem of this phone is that it is too slow in loading WAP Access.. and it is not software supported in browsing files..

  • I have a problem with this telephone.I can send files to him,but i can't receive from him!Could someone help me???i don't have any idea of what i should do..please help me S.O.S:))

  • the only problem of this phone is the delay, when you push the answer button and you hear the voice after 1,5 seconds!

  • is it cutie cute cute???????

  • i like the style.. it so cute because my special friend gave me that phone.. thanx jho

  • wap and mms

  • i bought this phone about 2 month ago. at first this device work in very good condition but now its worse. i cant sent the pic by irda. but im still can receive any item by irda. secondly this phne not support the mp3 download 4mat. my suggestion is could someone create new software for this model even jus for mp3 sofware formt.

  • I bought a USB -IrDa adapter, but i can't use it with my Philips 362. Can someone tell me if it's the phone or the soft? Can anybody give me a good software for it. Thank you!

  • i bought this phone ... and i was happy about it but the sofware for the webcam has fallen. so it doesnt't work anymore ... i will have to get it to repaired. and i will tell you if it will work better then !

  • yep! bought this phone last night and i am happy about my choiche. the screen has great colors and if u set the light at maximum and the contrast at #2 u wont belive how nice it shows and it will not fad in the sun at all ! the IrDA its ok and its fully functional ! the design it`s excellent , the torch is very usefull in darck places. sadly most of midi`s sound is low , so dont expect to sound like a SE or NOKIA. It has a lot of fun inside! and for this price ... i tell u: is a good choiche. i wonder how much the bat wil last ? hope (because its new) about 5-6 days

  • I bought this thepephone 5 days ago...but i am very disapointed....the battery lasts for 2-3 days...and the picture quality is very baaaad ...

  • teoreticly, the batery should last 400 h stand by an 6 hours of talk, but my philips's batery is off after 2-3 days(48-72h -that's not even close). i bought this phone for it's autonomy but i got disapointed.

  • I bought this phone from Orange on 05.May.2006 and today (05.July.2006) while I was searching in phone book it shut off and doesn't starts. It's the most stupid phone I ever had: Problems with Alarm clock, Sounds, Battery, low quality photos, display has missing colors, the menu is for children and many others ...

  • Here em Brazil some brande GRADIENTE uses PHILIPS TECNOLIGES unsuitable way! look this link

  • it's a cool phone altough i wish it had an mp3player...buy it

  • the phone is great,I have it & i like it

  • zoom max- 4x camera 640x480 max rez

  • Hey Guys! I am interested in buying this phone but first I would like to know - How many times can the camera zoom? What are the resolutions available for the camera?

  • is there a video in this phone? how can i activated my GPRS?

  • I just bought the mobile 2 days ago , I like its model , stylish but it is too small in my grip. It is cheap compare to the feature that it had, I am trying to see the battery life time as it was bought two day ago. So far the bar batt indicator is still full stack .Nice

  • + Good battery life, good display, IRDA, cheap - Low quality polyphonic sound

  • I am finding it difficult to complete the internet satting in my philips 362 phone, please i want you to give me a clear direction on how to active my phone so that i can be accessing the internet on my phone. i am using MTN Nigeria network www.mtnnigeria.org

  • i bought philips 362 last month.its cool but i have a problem with its memeory...i cant download a mms...so bad...

  • I bought a Philips 362 GSM phone last month. I have been taking photos since I got it. However, I have a problem with the phone.It is not possible to transfer the photos which I take. I got a USB infrared port but I couldn't transfer my photos.Because of lacking of the driver,I think. Could you please tell me how to get the driver from the internet? Thanks for your help...

  • Please how many games has this phone?

  • In order to synchronize it with your computer via infrared you need the soft (which came along with your ph) and an infrered receiver connected to your computer. To configure it for mms and gprs go on the philips site and they will send you an sms that automaticaly introduces the settings. Good luck

  • i like the phone very much...i enjoyed the features...though sometimes it gets dark when taking pictures...i have a question,how can i activate my MMS and GPRS?i can't receive pics and tones...i already tried to register to 211 but they replied that my handset model can't be found...pls reply asap...thanks a lot

  • Considering the price it's a great phone..no doubt.Battery is superb, better than Nokia. Ringtones are not very good... Actually I've a question.... HOW CAN I TRANSFER PICS FROM MY PH.362 TO PC...OR PC TO MY PHONE USING IRDA? WHICH SOFTWARE IS NEEDED FOR THAT & WHERE I CAN GET? Friends, please let me know... Please

  • Thanks Springle, I got it and downloaded it. For everyone else, it's on the Philips site under support (if you click on this page the Manual link under the phone picture it will take you there) then search for the Philips 362 and click on the appropriate results and there will be a software and driver link available on the left menu. Now I use it with an IR USB adapter (you can find it at any PC store), since here phone USB cables are unavailable.

  • The soft&driver u can find it right here, Manual, type then the philips362 and then u will see in the left side of ur screen writen software and drivers, press there and there u are .

  • where can i download the software of this phone and where can i buy a usb connector. please email me @ [email protected]... please

  • I recently got one and I found it to be a very good phone (good picture quality, good features for the price, very good navigation, feels ok, battery life is great). What dissapointed me a little was the sound volume which is quite low and with poor signal you may end up not hearing the other person even if the connection holds (also you may miss the phone ringing while traveling). I wish there was a software pack for connecting to a PC. The IR port is very handy, eliminating the need for cables and such but I still need the connection software and seem unable to find it.

  • It's ok, i got it :-) God, I love this mobile!!!

  • Does anyone know where can i download the software for this mobile from ? Or tell me how can i connect it to my PC? contact me on [email protected] /messanger

  • I like this phone, though I wish the battery life can be more than just 3 days max (well it probably has to do with the network conditions in Indonesia too I suppose). Pictures from the camera is a bit dark I think, not as clear n bright as you can get from Samsung or SE (thus it doesn't really dazzle me as the ad said), but otherwise they're still fine. The screen is also a little dark in the bright light, so it kinda a disadvantage and makes it hard to view what the camera picks up when taking pictures in broad daylight. Everything else is ok, it's still one of value for money. I'm eager to try other coming Philips mobiles, especially the 960.

  • perfect phone for me. it sleeps while i sleep and weaks up as i get up in the morning. its battery life is very remarkable. i bought it 5 days ago and would you believe that up to now its battery have 3 bars left.

  • It is a good mobile. What do u want more for this price ? The camera is little.... hmmm ..so and so, but if u know how to handle it is perfect

  • i bought this phone a week ago.. i like it's features.. one thing i want to know about is how to activate myglobe gprs in this phone?

  • i want too buy this phone...it is worth 115 $$$$???????the usb from my foto camera it's not fix???????????i don't now to well english...i am from romania...it is worth??????????????????????

  • In POLAND it`s in middle-class phone; but it have one good:phone make good photo :)and it cost (in ORANGE) only 10 euro

  • A few weeks ago my alcatel ot 355 died ... I went to the shop and with 20 $ difference i changed it with this awesome philips .... Thank you dear philips god from the sky !!!

  • I have had the phone for ca. 2 weeks. Battery is the real advantage of 362. Unfortunately, I have only 1 java game (quite poor). Does anyone know internet site where java games/applications for the phone can be downloaded?

  • I tried it today and was dissapointed by one thing - sound is VERY quiet. Of course, I've set ringer volume to maximum. It is hardly heard in zipped jacket's pocket (even indoors). Vibra is average so it doesn't help much.

  • This phone is great and it cost only 70$ in Romania. I have it for 2 months and it's ok. Only if it had video cam !!! I have 20 java games instaled and are great. In rest it's ok.

  • It surely is rather cheap phone but it's very nice. What does "it doesn't have anything" mean? It has quite a lot of useful functions. It doesn't take perfect pictures- so what? It is not a camera, for God's sake. I agree that phones are made for calling. It is very nice if they have special features, but they're still just mobile PHONES. If anyone wants to take extraordinary pics and show off, then ... buy a Konica Minolta 5D. This one is perfect for taking pictures. However, it is impossible to give a call with it...!!!

  • This phone are very good. It knows to make many things. And the price is very low in Romania in comparison with another phones.

  • i don not know but i want buy there phon becouse it is beautiful i am from poland and in my country we dont have there phone i black or red colour we hawe also silver and it is not a good idea from us please send me if i write this later for problems !!!!!!!!!!!

  • The phone is quite okay, I bought it in China. Too bad there's no blue of this type. I've trouble learning how to download musics or pics into or out of my 362; does anyone know?

  • Please gsmarena,put more pictures with this phone,and give more details about it.bye

  • Good phone. Quality oke. Weigh excellent. Lack of srange features refreshing.

  • Mr. Subhashish...you seem to forget one thing...you cannot afford a 2 mega pixel philips in India, dont you, so Philips makes all the lower end phones for people like you...did you the sony erricson p900 and p900i runs on Philips nexperia chip. Philips is capable of much much more its just a matter of time that we see a real star from them...they have just become bullish on the cell market...and mind you they are selling more than what people expected..also for your kind information Philips 355 is among the top 3 camera phone selling models in India.

  • Very nice phone, for those who search for a phone with a quality screen(even a STN) a camara and a good set of functions, and a good design, Philips 362 is the phone for you.

  • It looks very nice, exactly what i need to replace my bulky Nokia: a beautiful phone to make calls and SMS, with a good camera to stay in the move!

  • It�s got IrDA The dimensions are 100x45x18 mm I got the info from Philips Spain.

  • It's really charming phone.I expect it ,a low budget but high performance phone.

  • There are some mistake about the specifications.362 is a phone with infrared port.

  • That's Right.

  • This is a low budget phone without flashy stuff So please don't complain that it has nothing. In fact a phone is made for calling.... So if you want a phone for calling, why not take this one... I myself am very happy with my SE K700i by the way...

  • This is a message to Philips Inc. This is 2005 2Q where cos. like samsung and sony erric are hard pitching with nikia in the market. You have smart phones with 2 or >2 MP camera, MP3 players, FM radio, doc. & ppt. files sharing and sending, MMC card slots etc. Philips seems to be still in their childhood as far as the mobile phones are concerned. Its a suggestion that Philips needs to think whether they are capable of competing others in this spectrum of business. The exit door is always open for any company from any indutry. So, pls do not confuse the good old customers by bringing some age-old tech. phones. Its time to go to coffin...dear Philips...Kolkata, India.

  • phones don't have to take pictures, do math calculations or play games to be functional. grow up.

  • Is this a joke???? This phone has ...nothing! ???? Very strange model for Philips...
