Philips Genie - User Reviews

  • Indeed a great phone. Slim, soft touch, great battery life, very simple and effective interface. I wasn't a big fan of phone with antenna but i still miss this one today. The "Sonar" ring tone was amazing !!

  • i miss this phone...how cani get a new one again this model..my email is [email protected]

  • The original Philips Genie has been available since 1997. It is the "Genie 2000" or Genie reloaded if you will that arrived in 1999. Also you are missing one of its biggest feature : Voice recognition.
