Philips 766 - User Reviews

  • I was wondering if you managed to use the screen with tactile sylet?

  • I'll get it quickly because i think it will be better than other mobile.

  • Good phone. Philips should upgrade it & call it 777 with stronger software,larger keypad,better sound options,2 mp camera, slightly larger screen,faster character recognition,better T9 with slangs,with fm radio,speech recorder.

  • I love my 766. Camera is really good if used properly in high res.Display is good. sound options are weak.Comunicates with computer great.Weak sofware though.Worst part the keyboard too slow, makes writing sms confusing. Great to look at.Philips service exellent in Gulshan Dhaka Bangladesh.

  • Very Small Memory But Camera is really kool than the other cells. Main problen of this phone is its sound quality itsss realy pooor oh Damn!

  • cool phone. i got it for christmas. not the best but you can do the basics plus take pictures and then upload to computer. touch screen is bad but who cares. lol. i still prefer nokia phones though! AUSTRALIA

  • I m da user of this mobile phone set. But I also lost the original software cd which for pc communication. How can I get da software??

  • most rubbish phone i have ever purchased. always having a network problem. three times i gave it to service center, every time it got another new problem after it came back from the service center. now it often restart. another thing everybody should know you cant easily connect the phone to your pc, cause the pc cant recognise it every day. this phone successfuly reduced the life span of philips phone business in bangladesh

  • I got this fone abt 2 n 1/2 dayz ago... its quite good 4 such price .. it cost me around $100 ... the battery lyf is damn poor ... it stayz for abt a day ONLY!!! The Camera quality is not dat good inside .. but outside its gr8 .. The intensity of the flash is good ... When i try to take a picture indoors the phone automatically provides me with artificial brightness and it reduces the quality of the picture dramatically .. so i need to use the nyt mode den... hope dat dis review was helpful to u .... but i don wanna use dis phone anymore .. i want a moto razr ... i m craving 4 dat ..

  • i my self owned some cellphones from Philips but they all have one common factor most of them doesnt hold Bluetooth so I stoped buying Philips Cellphones

  • I have 766 phone it looks nice but internet or gprs options are not working , picture quality is very poor and ringing sound is low.. from Bangladesh

  • please, everybody who has software and driver for philips766, inform me. where an i download the software because i lost my original ones

  • i'm really disappointed after buying this phone yesterday. the picture n camera quality are very disappointing. the other phone with vga cam is much better. the aplication runs very slow. may i get back my money?

  • i bought it for only $100. why the price is so higher? can any one show me a way to browse the phone or to play video songs or bigger ringtones.

  • 766 is a fine phone except a few drawbacks. Key pad too small, caracter recognition tooo slow,notes option weak,sim and phone book together can get confusing, no recording option, no audio with vdo, no xtra memory. Must admit camera is good and com with computer is too. For the price great. If anyone is familiar with 766 & S900 pls advive me whether I should replace.

  • I can video but sound not recorded.

  • Is the video option includes voice recording? I couldn't find out the voice recording option. I can video but voice not recorded there.

  • sound is not clear and touch screen also not working properly sabbir

  • Frustrated as its picture quality is worse sound as well

  • I am sorry, I am not satisfied with this mobile set. It's picture quality is not so good.

  • it$ cOoL!

  • I am using it. It is so nice

  • Im totally upset for bying this phone.Its camera quality is good but after pick a photo it turns to bad.Its video does not contain sounds.It cant take ringtones more than 60 kbs.Also supports only 2 catagories of data.It is totally worse than its price!!

  • regulation is good. but i can't download games and java application. this phone is so slow.

  • I was lucky enough to win this phone from MTV whatever things and as a basic phone, it's not so bad. The handwriting recognition software is a bit too slow though and probably works better for chinese characters. The camera performs really well but expandable memory would have been great on this phone. the thing that bothers me most is the lack of bluetooth or at least infrared, which would have made this phone awesome. So i'd say it's a good enough phone. It doesn't totally suck. But I can say that cause I got mine for free. truth be told, I wouldn't buy this.

  • why no bluetooth??no external memory?? this is megapixel camera phone, it need extrnal memory card,

  • it's cool... i love this phone so much.. ^0^

  • Bluetooth and mp3 ringtone ??

  • Uhh, i need help on driver/software for this phone too. Help is much appreciated

  • I'm really liking this phone alot... And i'm waiting for this phone to be launched in India Soon...

  • Hello! Can anybody help me with drivers and software CD for this 766 phone?

  • News from HK people.......on release already(HK$1960)

  • What's memory this phone???

  • Its a fantastic phone as I saw it in Singapore recently. Its touch screen phone with stylus and has HAND writting recognition especaillay for Chinese text, 262k screen in side, 65k outside, 1.3MP camera with torch flash......and most importantly the price is right. Cannot complain for the price it comes with!

  • Gawd what a boring looking product. I'm sorry Philips but you need to create a product with some zing! The last decent phone made by Philips was the Genie and wasn't that a long time ago! (5-6 years ago?). Sheesh!

  • the phone is not really nice, is like a square, i dont like it

  • What smartphone OS would that be? MS Smartphone has a resolution of 176x220, Series 60 is 176x208, and Pocket PC is QVGA. They can't alter the OS for a lower resolution.

  • Well, I think It is Smart Phone with 65 K Colour Resolution and 64 channel tune . but Antina is still there oopk. but no Blue tooth and infrared , how a simple USB can only work instead of Blue tooth and infrared.

  • philips need to grow sensless touchscreen no bluetooth and no memory card slot SAD PHONE!!!!!!!!!!

  • This phone from stone age or what?????? Why is there still an antenna!!!!!!!!!!

  • Simply amazing!!! With a new screen, but it still lacks bluetooth.... Well done Philips, will hope it come soon to the market
