Philips X810

filmjockey

This is my main phone. I travel often between east and west coast in the U.S. Phone works well. I send/receive 20 txts a day, and talk often- phone lasts about a week on one charge. Otherwise it might last 2-3+ weeks as advertised. I had to have AT&T tech program my MMS (for txts with pics attached) and email settings. I was able to program the phone to get internet working myself. The screen is a big step up from traditional flip-phones, and just big enough to use the touch qwerty keyboard. The vibration touch feature is very cool. Also, when tilting the phone on its side, any viewed photo will also slide to fit the screen. Unfortunately, the touch qwerty keyboard will not do this. Browser use is slow but passable if you're not in a rush. I use a laptop 5 hours a day, so it's no big deal for me. Many other unique features like simply turning the phone over to shut-off an alarm. Almost all features are highly configurable. It shares many smartphone features like touch-flipping up and down your contact list, photos, etc., yet is designed for the daily caller who checks emails, creates a new task in the calendar, even open a PDF. The slider component is well-built and reliable. The phone does scratch easily on both sides, so get a belt-clip carrying case immediately. Scratch-removing wipes, etc. are readily available for the screen. ONE complaint: Nearly impossible to read phone in direct sunlight. The auto light sensor sometimes has difficulty adjusting to lighting conditions. I've been using the phone 3 months now, and enjoy it. Read the user manual above before purchasing. Hope this helps everyone!

Mr Pizza guy

Did my old Gym teacher, Mr philips, invent this phone?

Philips is very weak, I can't understand why they don't add a Wi-Fi, a GPS, an OS to compete SE, LG, and Moto. I hope they will make surprises. :)

Nope! I have a Philips 9@9w with 900mAh battery, and due to it's aggressive power saving, it can reach up to 2-3 weeks without charging. In fact maybe in last 1 year I had to charge it completely 2 or 3 cases, otherwise I just sometimes download few data, and that's all. during that time it charges itself. My previous company phone Nokia 6020 could survive only 5 days, not to mention, how bigger the Philips display and it's functionality I really use. I hated my Nokia, and I love my Philips :-)

It is probably a mistake, they must have men't 72 hours.

I love the functionality and sleekness. I'm hoping the x810 will be available in florescent colors soon. Nice job designer.

Oh man, Philips is not doing very well, choose Sony Ericsson, or Samsung!:) Philips is great in other things, but in mobile phones...
