  • What about some software or PC suite for Philips w626 ?

  • Hello everybody, I have Philips w626 phone and I am not able to connect it to my PC. I have trained a lot of soft for android phones for connecting to PC like 91assistant or Mobiledit 6.1. etc. The phone itself is not so bad. But the producer is not providing any kind of PC suit for connecting the phone to PC. A user should look through various soft for connecting Philips w626 to pc but no luck. Currently I am not able to transfer my contacts SMSes and other data from my old phone into Philips w626. So it�s great problem to connect Philips w626 to pc. In practice it�s impossible as there is no pc suite provided by manufacturer.

  • I am not able to connect Philips W626 to my computer and to share my contacts from my old Nokia phone into Philis w626� Any who can tell me how to do it ???

  • Hi guys, i have this phone since 1 month. If you want know anything i am ready to answer. It works without problems. With normal usage (1h talking, browsing, playing games) needs to be charged every 2 days. Despite specs. it has no compass.

  • Would you please tell us a few details about battery life?

  • People who can tell where we can download PC suit for Philips W626 ??? Is it possible to use backup of Nokia on Philips with Android OS(Philips W626) ????

  • very veryyyyyyyyyy sexy

  • Moto Milestone XT800

  • I am willing to buy a dual sim smartphone which can be used as 3G modem to connect internet through laptop. I shall be highly grateful if any one suggest me right phone.

  • thanks for your reply Guido: 1.how is the battery life? 2.how big the phone is? is it stylish in the hand? 3.are you satisfy with CPU speed? thanks my friend and hope you enjoy the phone...

  • Hello Guido, good reviews from you about the phone, thank you very much! One big disatvantage of these MTK-chipsets is the poor implementation of the bluetooth-stack. This lead to very annoying experience for the user. Especially BMW cars do not work accordingly with these MTS-chipsets. After pairing (which is OK) every connection is OK but every call from the 2. connection is dropped or cannot be heard. I've tested many Dual-SIM-phones with MTK6573 and with many newer BMW (from 2010), the conection allways is problematic. If you could test if the Philips reacts OK with the hands-free equipment of some BMW-cars, it would be great. To all others: be awared! The perfect phone is trashy if you cannot connect it to the handsfree. Regards Blue

  • Hello, Sorry that it took so long for me to reply. My phone ( Philips W626 ) has arrived. Some tips and trics: Order the phone at Etotalk.com !! This site works more than fine, the contact with this company is as well more then fine and above average. When you order your phone order it with normal delivery. I ordered my phone through DHL and you more money for a small differce in the delivery time. Do not order the leather bag for the phone. Although it's only 4.99 it's not worth that money. The W626 Excellent telephone !!! Everything works perfectly. I am using a Dutch sim and a UK sim card. No problems what so ever. An excellent telephone to buy and a perfect telephone to buy regarding cost - performance. The person within Etotalk who adviced me to buy the Philips W626 and not the Motorola xt531 was very honest and has proven to be an excellent employee of Etotalk to give me this advice. If anybody has any specific questions than i am more that happy to answer those questions !!! Ciao, Guido

Ciao, Guido

  • anyone know where can we order this device online and how nuch does it cost?????? to philippee : where is your friend? i mean where is he\she liiving?

  • heard from my friend that the price will be 129usd without contract.

  • Philips W626 has the CPU of 600 MHz ARM 11 processor and have the chipset of configuration of Qualcomm MSM7227 and has the GPU of Adreno 200. Got it here:

  • The drawback isnot radio option otherwise all nice

  • almost a perfect dual sim phone. should have carried 850 and 1900 frequency 3G on both sims, better screen resolution, better processor, better camera and videocamera capabilities, better battery, better internal and external memory capabilities. otherwise, it's not bad.

  • and NFC ?

  • What abt Processor and RAM also whats the cost?

  • Nice one and wish good price too ...

  • 256 MB ROM tells my everything. :(

  • Good phone

  • cpu?

  • Ya its a good Phone. I think according to its Specification should be at Low Price (mid range price) A Good preview is available at

  • what about cpu and ram???

  • nice push phil

  • It's a good phone for mid-range.
