Philips Spark - User Reviews

  • The user interface is not intuitive at all.

  • Easy 4k mAh. Batteries back then were big. They also went dead quickly because the phones weren't very economic. Sort of like saying "that '68 camaro can't have a 502 under the hood" sure it can. It's just not good on gas.

  • maybe 400mah

  • I had this phone back in 1998, and what I remember it being was its numerous returns to the service. At first phone called last number I've called by itself, and that wass fixed but then vibration alert kept on during the whole call. Funny fact about that was that friend I was calling asked whether I'm shaving while on the phone. There was some more minor nuisances, which were eventually fixed but last time they appeared I threw phone into the sea, which I regret. Not for losing the phone and SIM card, but for polluting environment with electronics waste..

  • it can't be 4000mah

  • the buttons on this philip spark when you would text and use t9 word.. over time did the buttons get worn out?

  • 4000 mAh battery? o.O

  • what is the default nck code for philips spark mobile 1999

  • I lost the charging, do you have a link to buy an other?

  • Hi, i am from Miri Spark was also my first Hphone, but i trade it in for a newer model and now i am willing to pay for a working Phillip Spark, if you do know who has one and willing to sell please info...

  • It was my first mobile phone ! In 1999 !

  • Is there a Battery of this phone

  • I still have the one i bought in 1998. Perfectly working, 2 batteries. I use it once a month for fun. Great phone for that time !

  • The most tough handphone that I ever had. I remembered when I used them on 1998. Once, I plunged it to the closet and so amazing, my Spark was still worked until I changed it to another one because I want another new handphone. It's pity the brand of Philips in my country has no a good secondary price. That makes me to think twice if I want to buy one. But still, Bravo Philips Spark...!!!

  • I use this phone on 1998, this phone i got for free when my father buy a cd player, this phone so cool and heavy duty and heavy weight , i throw this phone to dog that are chase me , then the dog is die, hwahwahwa , i hope philips can produce this phone again , ha3

  • Hello, i think i have one of the first handsfreesets of the Spark, but the phone itself does not function anymore. The electronics is build in behand the clothdepartment. Where can i please find a working Phone? W.n.r Huub.

  • i am the project manager of philips i really like this phone still using it . it is very usefull now hehe kidding i throw from the 4th floor

  • I'm interested in the voice dialing feature of the Spark. This phone predates a patent we are trying to bust that claims to have invented voice dialing. If anyone familiar with this phone would like to discuss, please email me at [email protected] Thanks!

  • Love this phone, my first contract phone!

  • I've just changed my Iphone 3g to this phone. This phone is far better than anything out at the moment.

  • I still have this mobilephone for memories too :) It was quite impressing in 1997 to have voice dial

  • LOL, my first phone - I still have it (for memories :D )

  • it's realy smart celuler phone that i already have. Tks vm philips

  • I am using spark for about two years. althought sometimes he suffers from a system-down and has a scrachy plastic body, I will continue using him because of several reasons: 1. design - thin & large - suite my hand better than anything else. 2. recever power - has enyone told you that this cell can take the level 2 of underground, together with 1,80 meters of armoured concrete shelter, and it's still the only one moby which can breaktrough the radio-isolation room at croatian brain researc institute. 3. monitor capacity and animation

  • Can you give me the manual of this phone in english language ?????

  • I have a trouble when I try to buy a new baterei in my Country (Indonesia), can you help me
