Philips S800 - User Reviews

  • Philips S800 is a heck!

  • Please don't use this phone bcause there are a lot of problem....so be careful about this nasty phone....

  • I've been using that phone since February of 2007, though i haven't re-charged battery, now the phone is dead because of its battery. And S800's battery is completely unavailable to find in my local area plus my country, Turkey. Camera is not such good, VGA cam, but shoots OK on bright environment. It has a lot of features than its hardware supports. It has a great sound with limited (128 MB) memory which cannot be upgradable. Again, if you're OK to use that phone and not to find its battery in future, you can consider buying. Else, get another famous one, whose accessories is more available such as battery and earphone.

  • I have been using the Phillips S800 for about 3 years now almost. This phone was perfectly fine at first, but soon after it would easily get scratched. The camera is not as good as I would have liked, and the video option is almost useless since you can only video for about 3 to 4 seconds. Now a days my phone would turn off automatically without a reason constantly. I took it into the shop to get it repaired and now it doesn't turn off,but still has great difficulty charging. I do not understand why it has to be such a bother to just charge a phone, I have to sit by it or at least check on it every 10 minutes or so.

  • Hi, this phone accumulates a lot of dust inside external screen, also annoying big dusts can dive into internal screen from headset holes. Anyway, what is the removal procedure the dust which is under internal LCD screen? Removing front screws(beneath internal screen) is enough for opening glass cover of internal LCD?

  • Hey! can this phone really run java applications? I have a philips S800 and it cant download any java application on it....I think hasn't any java option.

  • Hi, could anyone help me find usb driver for windows XP ? Thx

  • Update again: Although EV set to zero or less, this mobile phone still cannot play some video files with no luck. It says ''invalid video file'' and i could not figure out why. If anyone finds a solution, please post the solution and God Blesses him/her...

  • Update: In camrecorder settings make sure EV setting set to zero. Then you can play the recorded videos :) Bye.

  • I bought this phone today and it cannot play video which is recorded by itself. Solution? Secondly, i could not customize images as ''wallpaper''. Please say solutions to my mail address or write here. I appreciate...

  • ..this phone ive tried it for olmost a yr. ive enjoyed it bcoz of its mp3. the only problem of this phone is,,this phone don't have bluetooth and not supported of java. this phone is really suitable for music lover.

  • It is a very beautiful phone with 2 Lcd and mp3.But problem is that it has no infrared port.So I have to use multimedia for exchenging tones and pictures from my friends which costs a lot.

  • "boom" this phone is a regular phone not cute not allot fetures its ok we here think that sprint has the best phone availible for cutomers, good looks, good fetures, good battery life, good memeroy ,dam good every thing , they have phones for simple to very very styillish. "boom".. (all) from trinidad west indies.

  • philips s800 it's very small and cute.i buy this product because the low price and the important is the mp3.jeff.malaysia.

  • I bought phone today. But I saw it have not sipport Java, Blutooth, Irda only USB. I told Computer Source to Improve this phone With Blutooth, Irda, and java. This phone main Problem is it can't play the rcorded video. But the mp3 sound is very nice. Anyone there to help me for good discussions

  • Those who want a phone like this + real unique philips desing + IR + 1.3 megapixel + long and sharp video take, netter look fpr the philips 588. BUT of course those extra's come with a price.............Can't remember if it has Java. But it does have an amazing camera and pop email.

  • I've bought it recently. Its a dashing phone for music lovers at a low price with superb mp3 quality and huge built-in memory (can be used as data traveller). Camera quality is average. Colour and design smart. Very user friendly and strong structure. But you should BE AWARE that this phone doesn't support any java softwares or games (many websites say it does,, wrong!!). If its only got java and bluetooth/IR, then undoubtedly it would become the best of the year. But who cares for those! This phone can rock u with its sound!!!

  • Hi,it�s me Sayem from Bangladesh.I bought S800 last month.Its performance is nice.Who can give me an mp3 player with a camera(though the resulation is bad)in nearly 115 US$ here?I don�t care whether it looks like Samsung or anything else.You can easily download songs from your PC.Simply,it rocks in my budget.

  • Verry cute cell...Only if it had a megapixel camera and a bluetooth this set could have been Stupendously popular.....

  • well..if u need a phone for txt purposes and mp3 only, this phone will do. camera resolution's not so good, i find it easy to download songs from my pc. i've had this phone for only 2 months but so far it's still functioning well..

  • Realy it's nice mp3 phone.Camera also fatafati.But no bluetooth & Card slot.

  • Philips s800 is a phone with a very good mp3 player in a considerable price.The sound is great.You can also take pictures and record video.I am happy with it ..Sayem bin latif.. ..Bangladesh..

  • Nice MP3 phone with good capacity. Capture and share photos and videos. I am ok with it.

  • I havent tried that yet but i dont want to be disappoint. Anybody tell me if what really philips s800 is?.The time i red all of your opinions and ive noticed some of them are negative opinions!

  • this is really a not so good phone. i tried one and it did not suit my taste. it lacks connectivity options. the price is indeed right for the phone. it is comparable to asus & lg mobile phones though lacks expandable memory. think or better yet TRY IT FIRST before buying one! i'm very happy with my Sony Ericsson K750i. i'm glad i made the right choice. i hope you do too. cheers!!!

  • i can not download or get software,game or video clip.it is truly a bad phone.

  • hey sroot i want to download games and software.what i have to do?

  • Great phone,though color resulation is not so good.But I am happy Using that phone.ButI am facing a problem.Is it capable to load a video file from computer?if possible then reply me.That means I want to see a video file using video player that provided with the phone.

  • i have just bought the phone. And i think its a great phone at a lower price for music lovers. Camera quality not so good but it doesn't bother me. Sound quality is good. and weighs small and ofcourse smart.

  • This phone is nice and its features are great.Nice stylish and great phone at low price. Bangladesh

  • This phone is juz like a basic phone + mp3player. The color resolution is VERY poor.

  • i can't download any applications for this mobile.what i hav to do?pls anybody email me.

  • it is a mp3 player,nothing else.it doesn't support .jar .jad & .sis file.it is a big fault.anybody know which file it supports?!

  • i haven't check out this phone, but it comes for free, ....so here i am surfin for info., does it look like samsung? oh well...should i care? as long as the phone works as i expect it to be....-Peace!

  • i reakon this phone is like the samsung E310 and i wonder if its very popular and you can buy it on ebay au

  • A good quality phone

  • Why do people always say that it's a samsung copy? i think it's the other way around other companies dont need to copy anything from samsung, buy the way who invented the CD was it samsung? no sir it was Phillips.

  • looks like samsung x460!

  • This is such a copy phone.....They mase well call it a freakin samsung....

  • I thought it's a old Samsung Model!

  • knowing philips, I wouldnt be too surprised if this model is touted as a basic model selling a supermarket prices! disposable phones anyone?

  • What are Philips playing at? Samsung were making phones like this 3 years ago. Nothing special about this at all. It needs a VERY low price tag if its ever gonna sell.

  • \/\/00+ f1r5+ p05+! anyway the phone doesn't look too special.
