T-Mobile Comet - User Reviews

  • make sure you have an sd card in the phone. mine had the same issue until i reformatted my sd card

  • I would wish that you let the people know about the prices and if possible some can purchase either online or any other means,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thank you,Morris

  • Bought this phone in Aug 2011 as the smallest smart phone I could find. Only one issue that was quickly resolved when the screen plug got disconnected. Cost me $20 to fix by a local phone repair shop. It has been durable, and reliable. I think I'm wearing it out because I find I hear better if I use the speaker-phone feature rather than the ear piece. I plan to keep it as the pix are good enough for my needs when I occasionally photograph a part, place, or person. I use a camera for real photography, not the phone. I recommend it for basic needs with a small footprint in your pocket.

  • What is the use of a phone when it can't store your captured images or even record a video, can't play downloaded videos or mp3. this phone is driving me crazy

  • Poor resolution, tiny internal memory, slow, but otherwise a pretty reliable and durable phone. I bought it outright for use on prepaid a couple of years ago (already outdated), and have had no issues, while my wife has had problem after problem with other android phones. Small size has made it barely noticeable in my pocket all this time. Great backup phone to keep around, but at some point Froyo has started to become a limiting factor.

  • this phone is junk I have had it now for 2 years this is my 4th replacement poorly made extremely problematic avoid this phone it was free they couldn't pay me to take this phone again

  • The phoneis very very good but one thing is I cant view my images n videos now so how can I do now please....

  • how can I unlock this phone

  • pls dis phone does NT want to play PES and also I can't. see details radio. please. were. is it ..

  • It does not play some videos and does not show some pictures too,to be frank many of my videos and pitures are blindfolded....what should i do?

  • Honestly this phone is alright only problem is that you can't download certain apps and you can't watch videos on fb so I mean for a starter phone it may be alright but not if your old enough to have a better phone and know how to take care of one

  • Bluetooth is no more working. I tried the factory reset but the problem is still there.

  • No when the light turns green that means the device has been charged enough to go through the day

  • Yeah I had this phone for 2 months and it started to get very slow and it turns on and off when ever it wants. Not a good phone at all!

  • Do a factory reset on the device.

  • The fone is too slow n keeps restarting authomatically.can some bodi help me wit increasing it performance

  • It hangs automatically when am on call n I keep on receiving sorry the application andriod stop unexpectedly,same 2 watsup.pls I need help

  • A video was sent to me in a text message. Does anyone know how I can move the video to my SD card or upload it to my computer??

  • How can I send music from my phone to another phone through bluetooth.

  • How can I send music to another phone through Bluetooth

  • i hate this phone you cant download any apps its slow the pictures are horrible the speaker is low do not buy this phone its a waist of time this is the worst phone i ever had

  • This phone id ok phone but what I dont like about is that it freezzzzzzz

  • I like this comet but one thing I hate is it runs very slow espercially when I need it most other than that, its perfect.

  • I hate this phone its to small and you can't download ANYTHING ! Horrible choice of a phone, its always freezing its just horrible phone to have

  • The comet uses a full size sims card the specs are wrong! Also if you are running low on storage, move items especially downloads to your internal SD card. The one that you put in the small slot, do not use the internal phone storage.

  • Ok, I have a comet and my phone storage was full and then I decided to buy a new micor sd card and it still says my phone storage is full.... can someone please help!!!!! Message me on Facebook or Twitter (Facebook: Alan D. Juarez) (Twitter: Ohcrapsitsalan)

  • Hi,my device has T-Mobile comet android 2.2 can't receive incoming calls. The number is busy and the calls come as missed calls.What could be the problem.

  • do not get this phone people it lags really bad all the time, and after a few months of use it will start to randomly hang up on your incoming calls, turn itself off or restart itself. It will also freeze or crackle what your looking at on the screen i take very good care of my phones so this truLY IS A PROBLEM i mean it was never dropped scratched or anything i have had the phone for over a year and can tell you its a piece of crap i am going to get a new phone now, the exhibit 2

  • why i can't use 2g line internet?? this phone 2g right?? i have buy line 2g internet, unfortunately when i'm enter that sim, it cannot connected. :(

  • How come I cannot download instagram?? Its an Andriod 2.2 version!!

  • My guess is your wrong. The green light means 90% charge, enough to get up and go. the HTC G2 works the same way.

  • In charging , when the light on the top turns to green it means it is full charge but its only 90% only i dont get it somebody tel me?

  • its a tmobile because de ideos have diferents networks bands

  • It's a huawei comet not a t-mobile tap, i've seen both phones and I own a comet

  • it is huawei ideon in some countries, but in the U.S. it is T-Mobile Tap. Love the phone, i used to work with T-mobile USA.

  • this is huawei ideos ,not t mobile !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It's a good phone regarding the price but I'm having a problem.can anyone tell me that whether there is any file manager in it or not

  • I have had this phone for 4 months, it does everything I need it to do and more. I luv it!!

  • this is a good phone 4 the price and 4 the things it is offering i love it cuz i hav it

  • This is an OKAY phone if you're looking for a very low priced, bare bones android. Huge plus for stock android 2.2, loud speaker, and Swype. Huge minus for rampant app incompatibility, no multi touch and small screen. I'm not sure why so many apps don't work for this phone considering its 2.2 Gingerbread, but I suspect the extra small screen. Even the Google+ app isn't compatible. Good for kids, as a backup or if you're really trying to save some cash, but I wish I'd saved up and bought something a bit better.

  • can you tell me this phone is good for internet browsing?heavy duty surfing and like desktop pc internet browsing?secondly its gpu is under discussion some ppl say it doesnt have gpu in real?

  • how do i move pictures from my card to my phone

  • nice

  • It works very well. My Iphone took a dive after my friend pee(ed) on it... haha. Don't text near the toilets! I expected the Comet to be near-junk quality, but it has much better sound with or without the speaker phone on, better GPS navigation and turn by turn, ect than my iPhone 3G had. Its rather small. The camera quality is good, video recording is OK. The hot-spot feature is fast... works very well. I used it to view youtube clips on my laptop as a test. Very nice. I also let my buddy play a few rounds of WoW using the phone as his wifi link. No problems. The chat, SMS ect work very well. Its a surprisingly good phone and they are nearly giving them away. I feel its a step up from a 3G/3GS. I would spring for a 32GB microsd card. The included 2GB card is a little small, but its yet to cause me problems. OH - BTW... The battery is replaceable and the memory easily user upgradable. Get a clue iPhone. You can take a few lessons from this cheapy android.

  • aha touch?

  • This phone is nice

  • Bought from T mobile USA online for $119 including $30 airtime so net cost $90 no contract I use it prepaid and only buy days I need data. For a light user like me it is perfect. Easy to hold sideways in one hand and type with other - bigger keyboard sideways - even with my big fingers I got used to the screen quickly. If you want email, light internet use, Skype on Wifi, and you don't want to carry around a brick this is for you. If you need 30 apps it isn't. Easily unlocked over internet but T mobile 3g is on different band than other carriers so if you travel overseas your data will be 2G. Good value for money.

  • The radio comes and goes, Y can I not get the speaker to work with the radio? and "yes" I did hook up a head set to it.

  • Just wait until you run out of data with Simple Mobile, then you'll realize what you got yourself in to.

  • The phone is simple and very functional. But the battery is terribly bad. It won't even last for the whole morning.

  • yes it works very well with simple mobile!!!

  • its very closed to samsung galaxy 5 but it is huawei ideos by china. its also available in pk by china mobile zong.

  • Hi guys, Do you know if this phone works with Simple Mobile ???

  • So basicly it's solde only in america for now.

  • Is it going to be relesed on t mobile europe or only usa? I KNOW IT is relesed somewhere but i guess it was relesed in usa.

  • The speaker is pretty good and so is the call quality. What's bad about this phone is that it can be on the lagging side.

  • can someone tell me how are the speakers? r they good?

  • This phone is already out. It was released weeks ago.

  • it seems like my galaxy 5 . . . .

  • Tmobile G2 = HTC Hero Tmobile G2 with slider = HTC Desire z Tmobile Comet = huawei U8150 IDEOS

  • Why do GSMarena voters NEVER vote appropriately based on the price? Yeesh, every cheap phone sucks durr durr durr

  • tthat is branded version of huawei U8150 IDEOS

  • what are u talking about this is branded version of U 8150 IDEOS.

  • omg, HTC HERO branded, after almost 2 years of waiting. pathetic ;/

  • This is interesting spec-wise, esp. having Froyo installed. But is the 2.8'' screen tiny for being a touchscreen phone? Capacitive screen helps and makes it usable :)
