  • carl is get a old j100 Sony Ericsson

  • My first phone, awesome

  • Its this my firts Phone Its goob phone.

  • cute phone I love this

  • my first handphone it was great

  • Fantastic phone, I used this phone when I lost my actual phone to talk to my gf

  • This is the 1st handset which I had used in 2006 & it was amazing at that time for a good network catcher & battery back-up. I can't forget this old phone because I talked with my crush (glfrnd) & spent a long n long time with this mobile. So I love it. Keep it Up Sony Ericsson. Now, I've just purchased a Sony Xperia Miro.....

  • Worst ever. Everyone complains about the echo. Useless phone.

  • if u want more space 4 msg, u need to buy expensive phone...don't be suck,buy with cheap price, but want more function...suck!!!

  • He is super for grandmother and grandfather

  • i had this,it was jast like a peace of stone,mine once get under a truck's tire but nothing happend:-)

  • yar sell it on only rs12 what the hell r u telling 1200 ohhhhhhhhhh

  • mine only 15 msg.i bought it for 5 euros

  • Just 20 Messages.. but Come on!!! It's good thing to have a cellphone!!! :D

  • i have one right this instant on me and trust me its a sturdy phone this fell out of my hand about every day i pick it up and finish my cal this phone i must is the longest phone i ever had

  • cheap.....nice...cuty

  • good phone if you want to literally just text and call... for anyone who uses their phone a lot, get something better... c'mon it doesn't even have bluetooth! and my inbox only holds 20 messages, which is the most frustrating thing ever! however, battery tends to last me about.. 4 days, without charging, which isn't too bad

  • don't buy this phone because it only can hold 30 messages in the inbox

  • Stand-by Up to 300 h Talk time Up to 8 h --------------------------- The phone will stay on without calling,sending messages or something alse up to 300 hours The Phone will stay on With Calling,sending messages up to 8-16 Hours!

  • you can test your phone by entering #89#

  • plz tell me about its battery timings

  • Awesome phone, indestructible and easy to use. If you want a gadget then buy something fancier. However, for a practical phone to use for communicating text and voice this thing cannot be beaten. I do not understand all of the people complaining about a lack of features when the phone is a basic no-frills model which isn't designed to make cups of coffee and drive your car for you.

  • I have this phone n i HATE IT!!!! it can only hold 20 messages in the inbox at one time so every time i get a new message i have to delete an onld one! it has nothin oo about it, it breaks so easily. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!!

  • it's the best there is.the best there was.and the best there ever will be!

  • eak dum ghatiya hai

  • I have this phone at present and simply put...Its a waste of time!!! =/

  • Great.. back to basic functional phone.. good looks, good shape.. i love it

  • j100 don`t have sms delivery report !!!

  • Better buy Nokia 1650,Same size & weight but with FM radio at $ 40, it's steal...

  • Right now I have a k310. I intend to buy a k750. But anyways I find this phone very good as it is light and easy to use.

  • the software of my cell sony ericsson j100i has damaged (expire)i need its software any one can provide its

  • ok this phone is awsume....u have all the features u need in a cell phone....so its better den alot of cell extra fones:P

  • the sony ericsson j100 was the best celphone that i buy. now, i have an iphone, this have more features, but i prefer the j100

  • i have this phone i can chuck it up in the air i can drop it off two storey buildings etc its a fairly good phone but it dosent have any flashy extras

  • The best no "bells and whistles" phone you can buy. It's hard as nails and can handle brutal falls. If you are looking for just a simple phone and not a "glorified MP3 player/Gameboy/Camera/Palmtop with phone features" then this is a the best bang for the buck!

  • Mm, this phone is so cute, simple, and cool looking. :]

  • so cute and simple.

  • It's the most bad mobile phone I've ever seen. Can't make photo's, can't make voice recordings, can't play mp3, can't add new ringtones, can't add wallpapers, no bluetooth, no infrared.

  • @Umair Can you please tell us, how long is your J100 battery life and how you use your phone? I mean how many minutes talking a day. Thaks, because I think to buy this phone for my mother. She use only for talking.

  • what is evry1 goin on about? If u want a phone with camera and everything else then buy one! This is just a basic easy to use mobile! the less features the cheaper and more affordable a phone becomes!

  • WoW Wht a nice phone with cheap price...Signal Quality is excellent Battery Timing is Gr8....Wht Ur Looking 4...Go and get it man!!!

  • yes it has a speeddial function. all SE phones have. great phone as backup or for elderly, even with the small screen

  • Does this phone have speed dialling facility ?

  • We are talking about a phone, no?. So, this a phone. Who want a fridge have to buy a fridge.

  • I want USB cable driver and software can any one help me plzzzzzz

  • This cell phone is rockig.But its message memory is too less.Its having a good signal range and poly ringtones.

  • what a good and simoply phone its working better than others what a signal range, what a sound, and good battery time. simply the best.........

  • I was looking to get a USB cable and software for this 1,,,can any1 help???

  • Good phone but only usable in a baby hand. Also cheap.

  • No SMS Report?!? Just like MOTOROLA C115? Really? I can't believe it! Please, tell me!!!

  • does it supports usb data cable

  • how come this phone has no "message delivery notification" option ? it even has no other cheapest phones .. how can SE miss to implement such a basic functionality?

  • What is the exact battery life? I read it was 4 days in a Russian review... this is rather short...

  • Can some one please tell me what "HP" is? I came across this abbreviation in a number of posts..

  • I have 2 phones about the same price 50 EU. This J100i and the Samsung C120. Samsung is much better. The software is faster. The menu functions and all functions of the phone are more logic. The screen is bigger. The screen quality is much higher.. If you ask me: this SE is a toy.. no less no more..

  • i've got the j100i and itworks just fine for me however for such a beautiful phone it should have been able to send and receive pictures for a little extra cash .why are these phones not made into 3g phones by the next year or so people will be forced to buy new phones because the net might require 3g only? come on it is time to get with the mordern times

  • i wanted a simple handset which allows calling & sms-ing but i dont get b/w pic msgs also! thats pathetic!!! feel very upset! better if that was there!!! m crying....

  • today i bought this mobile its very nice its my second mobile cause i have nokia n73 and this mobile just for fun but one think i dont like in this phone its speaker why there is no speaker

  • I took this mobile , but iam uncomfert form this mobile due to i cannot down load other ring tones and i cannot recive picture messages please help me to get other ring tones and picture messages

  • Pluses: - Small and light - Cheap - Simple and easy to use Minus: - Screen resolution quite low, big words - Keyboard just a tad stiff but tactile feel is there. If you are looking for a call cum SMS function phone, this is good enough.

  • I just know that Philips Xenium series can reach 7 days battery life (I mean the HP is on 24 hour/day). If J100 can do that,that's really fantastic,a significant better than other J series that I know like J200/210.

  • @Rajesh Seven days use. Wow, is that 24 hour/day on or night off? Thanks for your info,that means goed.

  • confidently without any hesitation, it has subarb battery life, my wife was able to carry on with it without charging for seven days.

  • People who complain that this lacks features/technology must be the same people that caused the IT-Bubble to get so big before it bursted back in the days... A feature is NOT a quality in itself if there is no NEED for it.

  • SE just want to spread its customer. I think the target from this phone for person who need only call and sms, or for beginner user.

  • How does Sony Ericssion J100i compare to Siemens AX72?. Both are priced same in VirginMobile. I am planning to buy a few and gift them for friends. Specification-wise AX72 looks far better than J100i, but on battery J100i is better.

  • Anyone has tried this phone? Please share.

  • If adult usin...no toy, if a child...then toy!...

  • this phone with no phonebook is to simple for adults........its simple childs play!!!

  • What a fone, i love it keep it up, Sony Ericsson!

  • In the specification, it has 250 for phonebook. Are you sure, it has no phonebooks? You can read that in the introduction book. Because it is strange if a HP has no phonebooks.

  • I was misled into buying this phone bcz of wrong specs. There is no phonebook in this phone ands uses only the SIM memory.

  • For me, HP is goed and worth if they can work goed and also their price is not overvalued. I think you cannot say this HP bad only because it has only basic function.

  • Everyone has right to choose, buy and use his handphone. So if you don't like the low-end phone, than you go to higher phone. The important thing is that your HP can be used and satisfied.

  • this phone is out! the link in the uk sell this handset on virgin!

  • this phone worth $1, may be I will buy it for my 7 years old son. For me, I will not use it even for free....

  • it has an interesting design, nice to hold. no worries about the font size, it takes up half the screen, good phone to keep for a spare phone, generally cater for people who doesnt need too many functions in a phone itself. good battery life too. =)

  • Goed basic phones must have goed battery life, goed keypad for sms and goed ringtone.

  • Good wee phone, basic functions good value for �20.

  • Anyone have tried this phone? Please share about the function and especially the battery life. Thanks.

  • The worst design i have ever seen for a cell phone!

  • i am still trying to figure out why this model have 8.0s when motorola nokia have better phones at least price and with more functions

  • its already out in the philippines...... its around 83 US dollars at authorized dealers.

  • If we presume that te target group for this phone are elderly people who don't need cameras, mp3-players, etc. what is the point of the color screen and tightly packed keys? the use of monochrome screen would improve readability and reduce power consumption. in combination with excelent SE batteries it would have better standby and call times than majority of the cheap phones on the market(nokia 1100).

  • why come out with this phone? the answer is simply because there is a large market for basic phone especially in developing countries where average income is low. Here in the philippines, the biggest selling models are basic phones like Nokia's 1100 and 1600. Even those with high end phone usually have a second phone, usually a cheaper one.

  • The phone acutally weights 79 grams. Why advertising it to be 70 grams isntead? Urgent amendment is required.

  • This phone is avaliable in Pakistan in $58. I think it is a very nice phone for kids.

  • this devise been released, guys u could check from the company site

  • Charming, some hardcore fan has probably voted 100 times a row giving 10 on every point... I mean, you can�t seriously give high 8�s for his one... Very big lol...

  • please can anybody tells me that how much messages it saves

  • good basic phone, i hope its have usb connectivity and better be cheap or no one will buy.

  • i estimate the price (regarding the feature) won't be over than 45 USD LOL =D it can be used as a birthday present XD

  • nokia copies sony ericsson...and ericsson don't agree so they must copy nokia =))

  • Finally, a simple phone from SE! A lot of people buy Nokia and Motorola because they have those ultra-simple phones, and ultra-simple phones is a BIG market outside Europe, Japan and US.

  • hmm. considering they put in a small screen, it probably would of had been a good idea to make the phone a bit smaller. you know. like those small panasonic ones. and on a side note, the keypad kind of reminds me of thje keypad of the n90.

  • maybe these basic phones are prefered in countries where there are rampant phone thefts - you won't loose sleep if you are robbed of it

  • uhh dudes, with the technology we have, why are they making phones like this? theres no nothing. Where are they selling these? toys r us? sonys other phones are good though. Look foward to the new 3.2 megapixel camera phones

  • Well.....This phone is a little pathetic for this technology world but I guess it is light and small as well. Doesn't benefit the youngsters but will definitely benefit the oldies!

  • It�s alright for a low-end standard phone. But the screen is totally pathetic and the blank space around the screen ruins the design...

  • Good fone just the basics good for old people a simple fone which is easy 2 use

  • i think it's a cute phone. for you who only need a phone for calling and messaging, i think it's great...! and the design, it's beautiful! probably buy it for fun only. love the design. by the way, the battery is up to 300 hours! amazing!

  • Funny phone...haha gonna buy it for my little brother birthday

  • the J100 has a 65k screen not a 4096 one

  • and for those who are a bit slower... phone companyes do not product these phones if there is no demand on the market!

  • it's a normal phone for the entry level! & probably will come with a small price. who says that it suks- look at alcatel! it recently anounced a monochrome phone!

  • small display is not relevant with todays phones desain. i think this phone will get bad selling.

  • This phone is for aged people like me with basic functions only. it is light weight and simple to use.

  • all you guys dissing this fone are missing the point. Some customers, especially older ones, simply want a fone that is easy and uncomplicated to use with very basic features. They don't need all that stuff like a camera, xpand memeory or bluetooth etc. Geez... *rolls eyes*

  • why this phone have 7.0s??? i mean isn't on even good, so overrated

  • check out the "latest" Alcatel monochrome display phones :-)))

  • What IS THIS JUNK??? :/ in 2006.. they r announcing a fone that shud've been there in 2000 or earlier!!! for Godsake.. 2006 and they r marketing a fone with STN 4096 Colors display.. is SonyEricsson MAD?? pure-JUNK!

  • though I already have a phone that dominates this I can say it kicks the stupid Firefly's can all over the place

  • i like its looks a lot! and i wouldn't need to worry about dropping it or anything. personally, i think there aren't enough stylish looking cheap phones.

  • this is a simple & basic fone. i m waiting 4 this fone to release bcoz i have 2 sim's & want to carry both fones in my pocket. at Now i have a J300i & trying to buy a K750i and then a J100i.

  • Never advanced enouhg, is in it :) Cheers

  • Nothing advanced about the k610 :P

  • I don't know whay every time when some company unvild a budget phone there is always some people that says: crapy, wtf, bad.. You must umderstand that there is people different from you that want a phone like this, and you can always go for advanced solution like K610.

  • 2003!? Phones had cameras in 2003, this looks more circa-2001

  • Good simple phone for people who want to pay as little as possible and be able to call and send sms

  • Flashbacks from 2003!!!

  • Buy this one to all 5-year olds.

  • The features are too simple, the display is too small for the color and no MMS also. New product but the old-fashioned features. Hare gene masih kuno choy...

  • Finally a basic phone that looks nice. Lots of people will be happy with it because here we have one of the first simple phones that is really, really simple. Next time I hear someone say 'I ONLY want to call and SMS' well here's the phone for that.

  • this fone is harsh tattti

  • this phone is so simple. it is ideal for kids that wanted a phone to have with.

  • tis is crappy....

  • this is a basic phone. cool and simple
