Philips 535 - User Reviews

  • Have had this phone for 15 years now - given to me by my family for my 70th birthday. Still working perfectly.

  • Fun phone!!!

  • Had this phone for almost 3 years in my childhood ! One of the best phones ever to compose tones and such a hardcore body !

  • My wife has used this phone as her 1st phone. We bought it second hand & still in good condition for 4 years. Excellent sound & excellent camera (for its golden time). Sad, thief stole it at our home at night.

  • I love this phone, used to be my 1 phone, and i still have, but i use my htc Desire,.. massive diff.. :)

  • Had it for 2 years. Functional, original, reliable. It's a pitty that Philips gave up competing in the ever developing mobile phone market.

  • I have just acquired a Philips 535 in a box but with no instruction manual. I am unable to download the manual from your website as the web pages for this facility are missing. Can you please attach a copy of the manual in a reply to my email address? Thanks [email protected] Charles Forde

  • hmm allready pad for an usb data cable ...but i have the surptise to find that is not working:( .i'm not a begginer whith philips phones , but this one isnt recognized by the pc ....Only the cable is recognized but the phones modem is not .When using an infrared adaptor then phone is recognized ....so dont buy a cable becouse is not working!! no wonder in the specifications here on site doesnt say nothing about usb cable if YES OR NO only blank..whell i'm going to kill my self whith the cable i recent buyed :)) o well is an interesting cable with 4 pins connected on the back of phone beside the battery .

  • what will i do if my phone becomes block? and the imei corrupted?

  • The phone faces a software problem and defective. The MMS folder and WAP folder does not works. The memoray shows only 1656 instead of 1991. The Infrared not working. No software is available so the mobile does not repaired. What can I do ?

  • RUBBISH RUBBISH RUBBISH !!! the fone freezes so u end takin battery out to reset, the case falls apart, the keys loose the numbers, the toggle is touchy, when the memery is full the fone lights up 2say "no more memery" every few mins,hence battery life shortens.only goog thing about this fone is easy to transfer files from PC 2 fone via infrared however so ave all modern fones..

  • Excellent phone, i've had it for more than 2 years now, only problem with it is that you can't take the photo's at night cos the picture quality isn't that good as it is in the daytime. Otherwise it's quite cool and different.

  • Design is very good but the result of camera is poor specially for night mode and motion of the picture is also poor. Don't you think, philips needs improvement ?

  • Can anybody tell me about the theme of Philips 535 so that i can change the way its disply without taskbar(Blue Label at Top)an witout clock and date

  • Design/Looks is Very cool. But Lazy System i had ever seen. Major Problem with the Blue Label(Like Taskbar of Computer)at the top of the phone LCD is worst thing. Can i erase it forever from my phone.

  • Is Good

  • Wonderful! Nothing to say

  • i've sold my 535... i was quite satisfied with this phone. but something that a bit irritating is the body... it's not tough enough. the plastic parts are easily broken. the keypad is very easily scrathed

  • Don't bother!! Probably the worst phone I have ever had!! Keys end up sticking, vibration stops working, you name it, it goes wrong. Steer well clear.

  • i have philips 535 with blue cover i want black or silver cover please write me where can i have Exchangeable covers for this phone? thanks [email protected]

  • Anybody who is looking to purchase a Philips 535, choose a different phone straight away because after about two weeks of owning the 535 it starts to not work up to scratch the buttons start siezing and menu toggle doesn't work. Sorry Philips but produce better phones please. P.S. if you try download ringtones some dont come to your phone but your credit still goes.

  • i'm useing at this moment this phone and i realy like it, but a i have a littel problem is that i can't found his accessory so if someone can do somtihing for me to found it,i will like it. thinks.

  • i have got a red @ on my screen which wont go away anyone know what it is

  • can someone tell me how to send captured photos to pc through infrared.pictures from pc to phone are going well.no problem with gprs.

  • At first I thought this phone was brilliant but soon it all started to go wrong. The camera started acting up, the screen repetidly froze, the buttens didn't work so I can't send text messages, the cover is falling apart and you cannot replace them. I've only had the phone for a few months and I can's wait to change it. 0/10

  • This is an amazing phone!! The camera is great and the games are good too! Very easy to use. 10/10

  • from thge start i had problems wit o2 with the phone it completly buggered it up but now it workin fine it is a gd phone the wap on it is good cause it all under titles!

  • am ibusiness man am i need of this product and i need 10 of it i we buy through mailorder EMAIL [email protected]

  • i thought this was a great phone at first, extremely cheap considering its a camera phone with polyphonic ringtones etc. However, i found it really frustrating that the storage for messages was so minimal and thought it indicated out of date technology for something seemingly quite advanced. I thought the camera was pretty poor quality too! Nevermind.

  • At first I thoguht great phone and great price to it was relly cheap at a local superstore and thats the only place ive found it since. But a few minor bumps are inevitable and now I'm looking for another phone. The joystick is a good idea but hardly works on my phone and is frustrating. Would recommend but all phones become obsolete quickly anyway.

  • i've been using this phone 4 bout a year...i think this phone...hmm...the camera suks,the screen too small,the shape not good...hard to hold (drop it so many times oledi) the joystick eventually will break down...quite lag the phone as a whole...ai ya but wat to do...the price so cheap...give it a 6 out of 10 ... those out thurr who thinks of buyin it...consider carefully bfore u make any mistake

  • This phone is great i love the new style of it. the camera is great with the 4x zoom and the colour of the screen is quality! THIS IS THE PHONE FOR ME! it has everything

  • I was blinded by this phone at first sight... However, I was dissapointed with it. The screen quality is good, better than Nokia phones... This phone literally shouts out to you to handle it with care... A little bump here and there and things may go haywire or the keys may stop working... However, for its price, the phone is amazing... The only competition to this phone is the cheaper-looking and just-as-fragile Siemens C65. Both phones would do well for me, but in the end, its all in your personal preference. I choose Siemens for better value-for-money... Still, a good phone by its standards...

  • this phone can be good but the buttons at the top keep falling out and due to that i have lost them and i wont to no where i can go and just by the buttons for cheap

  • I bought the phone about 4 months ago. It is has an above average colour screen and photo quality. My problems are; 1. The phone keeps hanging. The five-way scroll and OK button constantly fails to respond when pressed downwards and side ways. 2. I use lots of words that are not in the dictionary. How do I get to insert a new word in the T9 Predictive Text Input mode? I would appreciate if anyone has an idea how to sort out my problem. Thanks in advance.

  • can i have some info how to text i don't understand the book how to do texting and how to start doing this what to press thanks

  • here's a site thats supposed to support java games for the philips 355 handset

  • Suck, not good enough, used C65 instead, or chooce the other phone.

  • it`s a great mobile phone. cause before I have not the that can to record the noise for the ringtones. The end

  • how to setting mms,gprs with as sim card (indonesian)

  • i like this phone

  • This phone would be good, but after a couple of weeks the screen start to crack (turn to completly white) every 2/3 hours!

  • i got this phone through an up grade and the screen cracked.so i sold it for parts and bought an other one the same make. And with in a couple weeks yet again the screen broke again, am not at all happy with whats happened and i dont intend to buy another philips phone ever! i dont reccommend this phone to anyone, the slightest LITTLE knock and phone was not worth using.

  • Hi i have philips 535 its a cool mobile but at times it gets hanged could u help me out please.sumra.

  • How many sms's does this phone hold????

  • Took me AGES to actually get hold of this phone - but Argos now sell it for �59 - and despite what some reviews here have said, its an AMAZINGLY good deal. what more could you want for less than �60!!!! Theres nothing else comes close on the market. Everything works fine for me, apart from receiving MMS - cant figure it out, although I can send them fine. Camera is great. Sound is great. Txt and calls fine. Design is great - everyone has commented on it.

  • For some reason, Argos seem to have stopped selling this phone. Which is a shame, it is such a great phone. I love the idea of a ringtone composer.

  • I dont know how to send a mms it keeps saying it has failed can anyone help me

  • Great phone screen and camera good as weel. Luv making my own ringtones as well. Does any one know where I canm get the data cable?? My phone only cost me �59 from Argos!!

  • its a great phone, user friendly looks awesome, much better then nokia

  • its good but not the best ive had

  • Im on O2 UK with this phone and i love it, very very good. Although, im having alot of problems recieving calls and messages i only get about 10% of them even though i have signal on the phone and i can make calls. Very confusing, anyone else havin this prob, please reply if you are

  • Poor for texting qualities.MMS not clever. Too technical for easy use.Wish I had stuck with Nokia.Much easier.

  • can anybody tell me that can i mute the incoming call ring without disconecting the line

  • like the phone,but having problems downloading ringtones from o2 site.spent �7.50 and still have not received a single tone!infrared problems too, wont seem to send or receive files as suggested.bvrp software issue?

  • Great phone, joystick controls can be slightly fiddly until you get used to it. Camera is OK, sound is fairly good.. I personaly love the style of the phone, although its rather small. The menus are nice, good vivid colours help make navigation easy. Apparently we can change the casing to another colour, althoughI'm yet to find anywhere to buy these from..mine came in black which is probably the nicest colour to get this phone in. No luck in finding a data cable either, although this isnt really a problem as the phone has an infrared port :) Overall this is a nice feature packed phone at an great price. If you only need a budget camera phone then this is a good phone, having said that though, it is probably as good as many more expensive phone... Trig

  • just ordered mine looks way kool

  • i just bought my philips 535 and its gr8 it has everything i would want in a mobile phone and its under �100

  • Just bought this phone at the end of march and since then things have started to stop working and now the screen has broken so i am wondering if any of you people out there have had any similar problems with the screen ???, other wise a great looking phone that mainly works when it can be bothered !!! help and comments would be much appreciated.

  • good

  • i just bought the fone yesterday and its only �80 in the o2 shops now in loughborough but i advice u not to get it its not that gd(hard to use aswell if switched from nokia fones)

  • i just bought this fone a few days ago and its not as gd as it sounds!!!

  • got my phone yesterday and its better then I expected. It does everything I want has a great camera which looks great even when at 4X zoom. and I was suprised to see it has infra red even tho it doesn't mention it on this site. I love the way the whole case is metalic yet still really light. and all for under �100 I'm glad I waiting and thought long and hard about what phone to choose cos I feel like I got the best I could for the money. only thing that its lacking as far as I'm concerned is video capabilities. but I'm not too bothered about that maybe I will in couple of years

  • just wanted to let people know this phone is selling for �99 in argos at the moment. I'm seriously considering getting one

  • this looks well good

  • this phone supports JAVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • cool

  • Which connectivities to PC? cable?

  • Almost perfect. What I really need to see here is the bluetooth feature. If only you could have added this in your Philips 535 ..

  • This is one question I have look everywhere to find the right answer, does this phone already support Java? Please anyone..

  • it's great selular phone for Dj

  • this fone has everything incept for bluetooth its well good and you can get it from o2 stores for around �130

  • does this set support java games..and from where can i get more games for it..

  • I've just received today my Philips 535 (red) from Worldexonline (Hong-Kong). Nice service. But, it will coming in West Europe only in April/May. The charger is ok, the manual is only in English and into the phone French, Italian, Spanish.. aren't available. Only English and Indo, Thai... It's a great phone. I waiting for a WCDMA model from Philips and before, the 855

  • anybody know will this phone work in Canada??

  • ROB : I want this 535 for replace my Fisio 820 (and after waiting for the 855). 535 seemed the first Philips Mobile 2004 available. Where you buyed it ? Is "http://www.worldexonline.com/" really good for order ??? Thank you

  • Philips is SUCKING ober the market!

  • i have this fone it is very good the camera quality is gd and the games are fine

  • This phone is really bad, look at the Philips 855 or Sonyericsson Z500 which are much better

  • only one game ????????????????

  • what a weird design!

  • just an observation c o2 is also letting this phone go for free as an upgrade

  • In Austria we have phones made by Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Siemens, Sagem, Tel Me, Motorola, Samsung, Panasonic, LG and BenQ.....but no well-known marks like Sharp, Alcatel or PHILPIS. It's bad that Philips don't export to Austria or Switzerland. :-(

  • Philips is taking over the market with a style that's real. Also check the Philips 855 and 755 !!!!!!!! Wicked!!!!!

  • I am disappointed with Philips. It takes them so much time to launch a phone that when they launch it the phone is over priced and obsolete. They should stick to television and not make phone.

  • O2 service provider (UK) is offering the 535 to it's prospective customers through tele-sales now (Feb 11) and should be added to their web site soon

  • I've the Fisio 820 and always waiting for find the 535 or 639 in France...(Philips Mobile phone not available in Switzerland anymore). So difficult for buy Philips phone ;-( The 855 will be the high-end of 2004. I'm not so happy because feature are not so high. And it's NOT UMTS/WCMA.... Sad. But I want it. (or 535/639 before) And please, all people dislike Philips Phone get out these page ! Don't lost time with Philips Phone and keep us IN PEACE with our phones we like !!!!!! Philips want make only affordable mobile phone. And, few phones are making by Cellon (for Philips Brand).

  • I'll tell you something about Philips. Philips produce lots of things: radios, mp3-Player & so on. Really good mobile phone producers like Sony Ericsson or Nokia don't do this. So they are better in prooducing phones than Philips. Philips give up to produce phones! I don't know where I can buy it? In France...no, in Austria... no, in Switzerland...no......only in the Netheralnds? That's not enough to be a great phone producer!

  • are the ringtone hi-fi,wave player, ? number of poly ?

  • This phone is one of the uglist phones on the market!, its a fukin mess!, the camera sucks on it, its keypad is ugly, and only WAP 1.2.1!!!!, LOL, and its a crappie and boring design! PHILIPS ARE TRYHARDS!!!!!!! ******************SONY ERICSSON*********** philips cell phones are for babies, lol, this phone doesnt even have java or blue tooth!!!!!!!

  • Well... great. what about the customer service by then? we have some problems on it in Indonesia

  • I Think no, now PHILIPS focused his product ini asia, in Indonesia you can find PHILIPS Phones easly....

  • I can't wait more. WHEN THE PHILIPS 535 will be release (It was announced for December). Do you know if it will be available in France ? Philips Mobile Phone are really difficult to find now. Maybe Philips will left from Mobile Market ???

  • how can this phone have almost a 9 if it's not for sale yeT??????? please be fair!!!

  • just for info, in P535 there is no FR Radio.. And The Camera is have great result, the result like Sage X6. I Think it already CDD.. I have try this phone,... and trus me tere is no FM Radio at this moment..

  • I live in Switzerland... where Philips Mobile Phone aren't on sale anymore (shit..). I WANT THE 535 THE BEST OF NEW MOBILE PHONE FROM PHILIPS(I've the Fisio 820). DO you know when it will be available in France or Italy ? For informations, Philips have sale "Fax" models (Magic..) to Sagem, and 3-5 years later the Philips name will disappear (like Car Systems sale to VDO few years ago)

  • i wonder why this nice phone is not on the first page of gsmarena.com at PHONE RATE section?You see voting results, it is over 9???

  • But isn't the 1.9mb memory a bit on the low side? And pardon my ignorance, wats a VGA in-built camera? How different is this from the other camera phones?

  • I�m a big phan of philips, the only true problem is:NO BLUETOOTH! I�ve bought the philips fisio 825, and this phone has bluetooth, and i already bought the usb bluetooth for the PC.

  • The moment I've been waiting for has finally arrived. I am definitely gonna grab this phone!

  • My mobiles are Philips only. I've the Fisio 820. I would like to buy the Philips 530 but now, I will wait for Philips 535, high-end for 2003. Unfortunately, Philips is always late with date of releases..........

  • looks a bit like SE T610. Hope this one is better. I won't buy it though.

  • Nice, Nice, Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!! Philips finally showed that they can catch up with the competitors, and showed that their phones no longer can be compared with toys. I hope it will be availeble soon. It looks nice.

  • I like it, now philips showed that is really a good brand, very complete, but when it be availble?Now everybody is thinking on the lauching of 530, so this model will be availble maybe for 2/3months :((((

  • good mobile but talk time ????
