Philips Fizz - User Reviews

  • Was this only released in Europe?

  • There is no danger with radiation from cell phones. Only the stupid people get scared. Microwave radiation and nuclear radiation are totally different things.

  • Stop playing with it! Nobody says anything about the very high level of irradiation of this phone. A third ear will grow, if you keep using it!

  • My first ever mobile, thought it was great at the time. Still have it

  • This was the 1st mobile (cellular) telephone that I ever seen. It was in 1997 (spring or summer). One of my uncles had it. Before the introduction of G.S.M. mobile telephony in Romania in 1997, the N.M.T. network had only 20.000 subscribers. My uncle was one of the 1st 50.000-100.000 people in Romania to have a G.S.M. mobile (celular) phone. My Gadfother had one on the N.M.T. era, but I never seenn the phone.

  • I still have my phone after all these years and its works fine..well it works but I do not use it of course.. would sell it for the right price..

  • my first phone,i still have it, i will cry now!

  • Had one.. and it was shit!! Kudos for it was so slim, but the rest of the size pretty much killed it.

  • try mr repair man

  • Do you know someone who could repai my philips fizz?

  • My first Phone ever A realy solid phone and i still have it and is in working condition

  • My first phone. I was even bragging it out with my friends back then. Hahahaha

  • My first privately owned phone and it was terrible

  • me to belive it good

  • I think this phone is quite pathetic and really old. If you look at the top speaker you will see that it is a silly old scary brick.

  • This was also my first mobile ever :)

  • me too. but handed down by my sister on 2000.

  • My first phone ever! I still have it as a paper weight. Slimest phone in 96' bought at 2,500 pesos. hahaha.

  • This is my first phone c. 1997

  • most reliable mobile made

  • This is the coolest phone ever made!It is amazing!The smallest one I've ever seen and the batery must be recharget on 2 hours!THIS IS DA BEST

  • I`ve still got 2 indoors, complete with manuals. I loved the phone, but mine tended to lose signal very quickly. I`m thinking about getting them out again, as I can`t stand modern phones

  • i got one:D

  • well nice phone again.

  • mr mar: is jassi looking for a change or he will stick to this company.awsome phone

  • yes

  • what a fizz!:P

  • what a phone

  • best phone ever, still using it and it still works as good as ever

  • my first phone, ws bought in 1995 -500 usd!-, with a gold faceplate! I got sick of the color so I abused the warranty and changed it around 8 times, simply calling the helpline, saying the phone drops signal and they would dhl me a new one in the color i chose in the next 48 hours! too bad they didnt give me a new battery every time too... the last exchange i made -like a week before the warrantee expires- was in black. i knew i would keep it for eternity so i wouldnt be ashamed of showing a black phone to my kids note that it had a major fault, it used to interfere with its own speaker!!!

  • this is my first mobile phone

  • It was my first phone and i have got it again in 2005 for colection.Please e-mail me who did have the manual for this Phone.Thank you

  • Oh yes, I had one of these also it was a prettier colour. Note the thickness - just 17mm, which made it the thinnest phone of its time. To be honest, it was a ugly phone and not really that nice to use, but it was my first GSM phone after using the old analogue TACS system.. GSM was so much better. I kept it for a couple of years and then got a StarTac instead.. a *much* sexier phone.

  • it was my first phone, unfortunately, it got old and i bought a smartphone but i still use mine - it belongs to one off my house walls

  • I believe a few of these comments must be intended for a different product. The Philips Fizz was launched in 1996 or 1997 and was hopelessly outdated in 1998.

  • This is the best phone ever made! I still use mine ^__^

  • Best phone ever so much better than any modern phone has big buttons and big screen.

  • I bought one and the quality of the digital camera and video i captured is excellent. Far better then my freiend's SE S700 or woteva. Get this phone, you will not regret it!

  • i think that's oke for comunication. could I get philips fizz just for comunication,please? could you sent aphilips fizz ? Iwill thanks so much to you. please send to : mochamad isrouddin. JL. mayjend panjaitan XV no. 64 malang 0341 575932 thanks

  • it is a very good telephone hi is not dreadless always i need a stopkontact

  • excelent phone...does it has colour screen and digital camera?....i want three of it!!

  • Are you able to supply replacement batteries for my Philips Fizz cell phone? If you are, would you be prepared to post them to South Africa. Obviously, I would be prepared to pay for any postage and packing.

  • Jeremy Paxman has more fashion sense than whoever desinged these! Nokia 2110 sucks big time as well

  • Send me manuals for Philips Fizz

  • How does the call restriction work. When I set it to Names Only it retricts calls to only names saved in the phone. But when I switch the phone off then on I can no longer call names in the directory. All calls are restricted.

  • Where I can see manual on Fizz?

  • Its to heavy!!!But easy in use

  • where can I get an online copy of the manual,seems like the manual in the philips website is already stricken out .

  • ok

  • very primitive. should have launched it 10 yrs ago. Good thing that Philips decided to stop going into the c/phone business. biggest mistake!!!

  • Worst phone EVER? I'm serious

  • Could I get the USER'S manual Nyakyi ////////////////////////////////////////////
