Philips X712 - User Reviews

  • come 2 brodipet

  • I m from Iran.where is the nearest market for buying this device to Iran.How can I provide this mobile phone?

  • Does anyone knows how to reset the fingerprint reader? Maybe I will get a used one, that is locked to first´s fingerprint owner. They say is not a problem using the phone, but I am not so sure about that. Regards

  • good

  • Alex;bedankt voor jouw informatie betreft dit toesstel.

  • some one notify philips company to launch these sort of style statement gadgets in india. Indian market have changed a lot.People are looking for style statements and sturdy tough products. They will make it affordable if it attracts, even if it is not affordable.

  • Could you please external display? Does it show missed calls/messages? Is there notification LED showing missed calls?

  • ... and it is dual sim dual standy, meaning both sim cards are active simultaneously. I just tried it.

  • Just got this phone. Had to order it via ebay from Hong Kong. I live in The Netherlands. It is worth the money. Feels sturdy in the hand, comfortably heavy and substantial. Cool to the touch. Large and masculine. Buttons feel like they come from a military machine, precise yet sturdy. Nothing like it on the market in West Europe. Build quality better than an iPhone. Screen is excellent. Not many advanced functions but who needs them anyway? Boots up in 10 secs and you can use it immediately, no lags or frozen menus. Has a cool English interface theme with chineese characters as icons. Volume at max. raises the dead. For all people that want no-nonsense, no-frills, but an elegant minimalist and first of all functional communcation device, this is it. Will report on battery life after a few weeks when the first charge should expire heh.

  • Good looking but lacks modern capabilities

  • they need lot of money to make their researches and to catch up the market, so I think we should buy it and support them

  • No 3g No Wifi $430 for this ??? this really make people laugh .

  • this is the first mobile in a looong time that I liked! AND dual sim and of course not available in my country or any but china!!! why? do something about it, please!

  • I found this phone here.

  • Would also buy it. The phone really exists as it's listed on philips website (hk).

  • The Philips X806 has both Sim cards active at the same time. I own one for 8 months and it is a great phone. Battery life up to 3 weeks, metal body, full touch screen. no 3G and no navigation. price 2000 RMB or 200 euro

  • Common, where I can buy this phone from? Searched google and found nowhere. Does this phone really exist at all?

  • Some of the dual sim phones like all samsung dual sim phones are dual active that if calling is done from either of the sim then also the other sim is active and able to recieve the call on the second sim. Once I have read about Philips x710 that it also perform the same dual activity.

  • where to buy a phillips x712

  • Don't think so, all dual sim phones that I found are nothing but having 2 sim slots, and you need to press a button or go to the option to activate the other sim to use the other one. When one is used, the other one will "sleep", so it's kinda useless, at least to me. But I don't know if they already made improvements in this dual-sim thing.

  • i wish it's a 3g phone with a secondary camera and a dual sim (both active). The design is pretty decent.

  • Can anyone tell me that the philips dual sim phones are dual active means if we are calling from either of the sim then we can attend any incoming call into the other sim at the same time simultaneously?

  • this is a dual sim phone and its main target market is china.

  • this phone's spec is good, maybe I'll consider buying this one when ti it the shelves in my country...

  • I wonder if that 16mm thickness is when its open or closed....

  • damn sexy phone... will buy if its in decent price range...

  • I Love the Design But where is the Camera on the Phone? In the picture there is no trace about it. and Where I gonna find it? Pls Help.

  • Nice! There are not many clamshells (my favorite form) around with a 5 MP camera and a great battery life.

  • everything else aside, this looks rather swish

  • This is a great design n features! ..well not for me.. but for my mum! She loves clam shell phones than any other phone, she finds them easy to call on... So more clams like this with good spec cameras!!! U go phillips! My 1st phone was a phillips savvy...

  • Awesome!!!!!!!!!

  • Reddot design award 2010 winner Product design award for mobile phone Perfect combination of western design philosophy with eastern culture elements.

  • i think there is a typo error. the screen resolution should be 256k not 56k. right?

  • It's good to know someone is still thinking about the people on the lower end of the scale.

  • Fingerprint authentication sensor
