The first one i bought last feb is okay fro two weeks then it suddenly doesnt want to charge. i though maybe it has a battery problem to brough it to the shop and they gave me a new one. But then again now it won't charge again. The guy told me that he's not going to replace my battery anymore but it only what 5months and i can't use the phone anymore. Whew! too much hassle.

  • yeah, thats right! learn how to read! jeez....

  • read your manual supplied along with the phone for password

  • Hello I have VK2000 Mobile phone and it is always asking me to Enter Password when I use 0000 it is telling me Incorrect. So kindly help get my phone back. Thanks [email protected]

  • I got my phone locked by Keypad code unknowingly and now i am not able to open it because i forgot code, so how can i open my mobile again?

  • I know exactly why your mobile don�t start charging, my Vk 2000 just flash blue 1 second then nothing happend, but i took out the battery tooked another battery 9 volt battery fully charged, and took the + pool too the plus pool on vk battery and the same with - pool, for about 10-15 sec and then the telofone charge himself again :D

  • how do u know if the phone is charging? i pluged mine in and it won't charge! the blue lcd light flashes for one second and then all i see is a black screen! why isn't it working.

  • hi every1 i just got this model i like it n all iz just da whole ringtone question some people are writing about mp3 and all i have nothing just like 10 poly tunes which blows. id like to kno if theres nytin i can do put songs or wtv on it thnx kev!!!

  • Super light, slim & compact. Very basic phone but it works well. I worried about the reception and voice quality but it is great for such a small phone. Battery life is really good on standby, but with talk time, you'll need to keep a charger relatively handy. If you want all the bling features look at some of the other VK models.

  • uhm...the battery is poor...but it`s slim and compact

  • Just love it !

  • My friend has it, possibly the worst phone ever made... my friend has a loud voice when he talks on the phone, and on the phone it's stupid mic distorts when spoken to loudly. battery sucks ass

  • I have one, it's realy nice and i'm imprest.

  • when the phone is charged it will make a noise and flash the screen to let you know.. this is really annoying and means you cant have the phone plugged in next to you at night when you sleep because every so often itll make a noise and wake you up. all other phones allow you to just leave it on charge without constantly beeping.

  • good to used

  • how do I get rid of those two thick black lines that permanently cut across my screen?

  • Locked keyboard: insert 0000 (four zeros) and OK!

  • I must have locked the key pad accidently in my pocket, now when i try to use it the `keypad lock, enter password comes up .Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • help ! i'm having difficulty dowloading tunes to my mp3 player. can anyone tell me how, i know its probably something simple.

  • I really love this small phone. The only thing that i don't like is the extremely annoying melodies that is played when the phone is turned on or off. Does anyone now how to disable this?

  • i love my phone sooo much its pink and its sooo small and cute it dosent have bluetooth but it has a USB port to get things from the computer to your phone,and from your phone to your computer.Ive got about 22 full length songs on the mp3 and have alot of images.i think the phone is really great at such a gooood price.if your thinking about buying one buy it!

  • The phone does not MELT for Goodness sake people! C'mon when used throughout the whole day it might heat up a bit after a half hour. Mine lasts a whole day with regular conversations...Its small,sexy and sleek but it DOESNT MELT!

  • watch out guys. this phone is just meant to talk for lesser period as it get's hot during extended conversation. i sold this phone to an acquaintance who was crazy about it. i think i made a wise decision by selling it. after a week he came and told me that after he talked for about 30 min his phone was so hot and when cut the phone he saw the sticker OK from the center button had come off and sticking to his cheek. he had to stick it back. also he has put a sticker on the back of this mobile and it is sort of melting due to the heat this model generates. i think VK need to really work out on their quality to stay in the market as they are already close to bankruptcy and motorola is negotiating to take over. this a piece of an information i got.

  • I bought one of these phones for my God Sister in Malaysia recently. The packaging is excellent, it is the slimmest and the most cute phone I have ever seen, the box also beats any other model. It is a great phone for people who want to have a fashion item. east to use, small, quality built. it is a great phone and I recommend it to every one.

  • I bought this magic phone in Holland a week ago and I love it! So small and light you can not imagine!! I was in a bar in Amsterdam last week and I thought I'd last my phone........ later that night my pocket started vibrating and it turned out to be my VK!! I just couldn�t find 'm because I had put it between my business cards!!!!! Ciao Stan

  • Stylish phone with great reception and UNBELIAVABLY TINY SIZE!!! It is exactly the size of a standard credit card, and still a fully functional phone!! User friendly, intuitive menu, nice 3D graphics! Forget about your Nokia, Motorola or SE - too bulky!

  • The Ipod Nano of phones...everyone is wowed by it...sleek...small and sexy...My battery lasts a full day with LOTS of talking..not bad considering its small size...The Razr lasts just as long my brother has one...and I had reception in the subway and he didnt!

  • Not bad for 100 bucks! Some callers experience an echo, but other than that, this phone is sleek, tiny and great for the price. Motorola in talks of purchasing VK mobile as VK has gone bankrupt.

  • key pad lock password is 0000

  • Help!can some one please tell me the password for the fone as ive key locked it, and its asking 4 the password( my manua ls in portugese).

  • It's ok, only for talk , he make his job. Noisy headphone, bad mic. I get it whiy 110 euros.

  • Small phone for the spy in you.....but!!! Poor voice clarity and volume. Hard to hear w/ road noise in car. Having minimal features was no biggie for me but reception quality was not good. You can pick one up for under 100 on ebay now, but only do so as a back up phone for the car maybe. Not and everyday phone for anyone.

  • The phone is good for its price...and amazing for its ipod nano like size...and the price was 100 dollars canadian...cmon guys this is a steal!

  • i don't know why VK has overlooked the provision for sling attachment. it would've been very useful to put it around your neck and drop the mobile in the shirt's front pocket.

  • Does anyone have problems with speedial? I.E. Having the wrong numbers come up when you try to use them? Any suggestions?

  • How can I download color images on my VK2000? When I start a download it said "Acces denied" or something like this...

  • I bought this mobile from Tailand.I ask if I can have arabic language plus the 4 in the software.Thanks

  • This phone is good for what it is supposed to do. It�s a great pocket phone for the one who uses for a limited purpose. I pity for those who are writing negative comments and comparing this model to bigger models. I am using one for quite sometime as my second phone and let me tell you all, it's really a great phone. Because it's Korean and not Chinese its build quality is as good as Samsung phone but with more better features than Samsung. Thank god it has ringer profile settings almost like Nokia. Samsung's features are pathetic. Anyone one can confidently pick up this phone but the problem is that this company is not still being represented officially in many countries. So warranty and service is at stake. Anyway it doesn�t cost a tank, why bother.

  • I am using the VK 2000 cell phone, i think the phone is an excellent phone base on its price. The phone works very well with my rogers sim card. One of the problem is the battery life is kind of short, need to charge the battery every two days.

  • Well I bought Vk2000 off of Ebay and I am getting the problem of "no service" after about two minutes. Turn off and on and it is still the same; after two or three minutes it lists as "no service"... help anyone? The vkmobile site is no help since vkmobile is bankrupt and an e-mail listed was bounced back as non-existent account... :(

  • help? any good samariton out ther help me to get music on my vk200 mp3player been tring for days and its driving me nuts any help will be great thanks x

  • Believe me this fone battery life is super suck!

  • I still cannot belive this phone is for real. Without the usual miriod of useless functions, REALLY small, stylish yet simple. Simply great! People writing crap about it are either on the payroll of N, M or SE, either are specifications fanatics, loosing all touch with what a phone needs to be.

  • Phone look sleek, elegent & stylish because of its' small size. Easy in pocket. However main problems: 1. After a while, send message cannot be read in the Outbox. 2. After a while, sms send only part 1..2 part cause hang. 3. Need to charge everyday. Battery life low. 4. The speaker get hot after 5 minutes of talks.

  • i need help suddenly my network is not working i cant get no calls and either make them it stayed like this for two days now in the screen it says limited services and i tried to go to network services mode to see if i could fix it but it always asks me a password and is not the same 0000 when you try to erase ur text messages or the incoming calls that automatically stays in the phomne until you erase it is different if someone could knows the code i will be glad thanks

  • I love this phone its excellent simple as that!

  • press the call button ( green phone ) to temp disable the T9 feature

  • Hi Could somebody help me disable the t9 function in the sms section. i need to write in a different laungauge than english but the t9 function will not allow me. Thanks

  • what a joke!i can see why vk mobile went out of business!

  • VK 2000 Best phone ever! Just got the phone few days ago, and it's the best cell phone I have so far (for the money).

Good luck out there! VK2000 rock's! Adrian B

  • I bought one when I was at the FIFa world cup. My t-mobile i-mate sp3i broke down - long story and I ended up buying this for 99Euros. so far I like this phone. I do not care for the camera functions in the current phones - the resolution makes them crappy for now.The only thing I miss is a bluetooth function. If that was included I would say this is a complete enough phone for the purposes I would want a cell phone for.

  • obviously, this company may have been out of business. these tiny little gadgets are not to everyone's likings. these phones are something teeny weeny things and mostly youngsters will like these as well as old people who don't receive much calls a day and it's lighter for them to carry. for business purpose it's out of question. the strong contender is NOKIA which dominates market share by 70%. but anyone considering these little gadgets it should be only for their second phone.

  • VK mobile was bankrupted on July 7th, 2006 and went out of business.

  • Do not buy this phone-the battery only last half day-you will have to charge it twise a day, the other thing about this phone -you will not find any support or service with it.

  • I hear VK Mobile faces crisis in finance. I hope the revival. The products are tiny and cool, it BEST.

  • I bought VK2000 yesterday which is only model in Thailand. I do not feel the negative comments in this column. Certainly, the battery life is too short, but most people charge other mobiles everyday. So that this weakness would not be so serious. The point I do not like is that selecting T9 mode is very far way, it takes several presses. Though I have a Sony Ericsson Z520i, but it is a little bit heavy for me, so I am going to change this to VK2000 as a main my mobile.

  • here i go...........juss picked up VK2000 which is know as i-mobile in Thailand after a long wait. it costed me Bhat.3900/- approx US$ 100/-. i wasn't confident 'bout it's performance till i came back to my country and checked it at my home in a area what i call a bermuda triangle. most phones don't get signall in that area, but this little bit of phone worked flawlessly. it's performance is satisfactory. signal strength is quite strong. one shouldn't expect a great battery life from this little gadget. it's battery is small and amphere rating is low so if you use the phone to make about 10-20 calls each 3-5 minutes everyday then you need to charge this phone everyday. the build quality is solid. regarding getting hot is accetable if you speak for a lesser period and not lengthy conversations. however i rate this phone as one of the mini maravel gadgets of the year. i can only recommend to have this phone as your second phone if you have another personal number and also if you are going on a private tour it's presence in your pocket makes it light and un-noticable. I dont feel this phone is right for business purpose. i use Nokia for my business and VK for my evening out. if someone can wait for a while more better phones with better features are on the way from VK.

  • your lucky the phone works at all.mine lasted about a month.the phone would ring but you could not answer it.

  • thanks pol for the info i could fix the ring problem but now i got another issue the phone cant read the sim card i live in argentina and i never had any problem with this in the past but now i cant to use the phone because is not reading the sim card. to fix the ring tone issue there are in the phone settings several points in this case the FACTORY SET i press that and automatically the ring sound was working fine but i think that while i press that the setting of my phone kind off mess up so i cant get no signal or make calls please i would like to know how to fix this problem thanks yall...

  • Don This may help Press the star button on the bottom left of the phone and hold until the small vibrate icon next to the mail icon goes away. good luck

  • i had this phone for at least 4 months i really like this phone its light and simple the problem that i have is that the phone is not ringing at all it vibrates but it doesnt ring i tried several times to change the ring tone to see if i could fix by doing that and the volumen doesnt goes up and down i would like to know if there is a way to fix it by doing a software update to the phone the phone has never been drop or physically damaged for my understanding i would like to know if someone had the same problem as i do but the phone is great as i said before the only problem would be that is very fragile.

  • the VK mobile is a cheap $100.00 retail phone.Poor reception,quality.

  • That is a phone. Period! Is not a media center or a child fun center or a center of expensive budget telecomunications. Is a phone...Make calls and messages and received them�s.

  • Phone is a cheap $100.00 phone.

  • 2 full days w/ no battery recharge + 10 txts & approx 40 min talk time. HAS ANYONE w/Cingular got the web working on this phone?

  • 2 full days w/ no battery recharge + 10 txts & approx 40 min talk time. HAS ANYONE

  • Ordered phone from portugal. I got a second battery because of what I read. No need for it yet. The battery lasted fine with approx 40 min of talk, 6-7 texts and alot of playing around to get my settings correct. The speaker is not as loud as my MOTO L6 was. Neither is the ear mic. Ear mic does have some clarity issues. Not L6/Razr quality. Screen picture is brilliant. Key was an issue w/some. No need for it as keys are stiff. Software is similiar to MOTOROLA, as is design. T9 is very good on txts.

  • Poor quality,cheap,you never know if it is working.

  • YES, the batery are the BIG problem, otherwise is a tiny little phone, i like the design, is great

  • I had this phone for 2 days....and when i put my Sim card in it...it only stays on service for like...2 minutes...than it says no service....has anyone else excperienced this problem?? other than that it looks like a cool phone

  • I have had my handset, bought from Portugal, for about a year here in CHicago - USA. I love it - although I can't seem to get the voice message waiting alarm set at all. Other than that - I have no issues - at all. Good stuff.

  • i owned this phone for a week and that was enough.Cheap low quality phone,poor signal.sometimes can't answer calls.

  • What is the SAR of this phone?

  • Thanks so much for the pin password. It is "0000" Cheers!

  • think its 4 or 5 o's oooo or 00000

  • PROS:size,weight,display,battery good for 2 days of normal use,price. CONS:none

  • Everybody has a flip phone,but NOBODY has a thin,small candy bar phone like this.WOW! What a phone!

  • I have owned 16 cell phones.Most of them for work.This is one of the best phones i have used.Small,very lite,signal always strong,battery godd for at least 2 days and very fun to use.A+++++++++++++++

  • hello there, i got 1 vk200o and it is great, in Mexico nobody get one yet ... but i wonder if any of you guys are able to expelain me how or where can ai get or activate the polyphonic tones? any other shortcut to knew more functions or if you know where can i buy the newest modelslike VK2020 or VK2010?... [email protected]

  • i have had my VK2000 for a month now.what a great phone!the battery lasts for about 2 days with normal talking.i have no complaints.

  • what a fun phone!!!

  • i have had my VK2000 for 2 weeks now.what a great little phone!i love it,it works great and nobody else has one!

  • I've had my VK 2000 for around a week now. I bought it despite some of the views expressed on this site. I feel that some of the ill articulated views misrepresent the phones performance. 1. Yes the battery time is low, but what do you expect from the one of the smallest phones in the world. Mine will readily last 2 days with moderate use (e.g. 40 minutes call time + 20 texts). You can get high capacity batteries of eBay for less than �10 which would more than double this. I don't understand the hardship with plugging it in over night. How often are you away from a room with a power socket? 2. The microphone isn't great, there is a quiet background 'fuzz', but it certainly doesn't effect the audibility/clarity of the voice. 3. Ring tones aren't great; I just use the simple ring which is fine, if a little high pitched. 4. There is no problem with heat dissipation on this phone. 5. As stated by many other people on this site, the phone looks great and is so thin and light you really don't notice it. So if you want a jack-of-a-trades-master-of-none gadget in your pocket don't get this phone. If you want a tiny but fully functional attractive phone, which isn't cluttered with features you never use, I highly recommend it.

  • this phone is now on sale in thailand.in bangkok u can buy it in mbk.they sell it under the name of i-mobile vk2000.i-mobile is a thai phone company.so i think,they have a contract with vk to import and sell there phones in thailand.in mbk u have to pay 4800 bath,about 120 usd.hope that helps.

  • Need a new battery/charger? Hope it helps

  • just goat my vk2000 , I like the weight of the phone , I have it in my shirt pocket and I hardly know its there . its thin so thats another nice point, it has a pritty solid feel to it , some people think because its so thin, but I dont think its that slim ,that it will snap in half easily , not true it feels fairly sturdy. but I wish it was a bit lighter and slimmer , then I wouldnt no it was in my pocket at all ,and had bluetooth,mp3 player etc,thats prolly why they can make it lighter than most phones couse it doesnt have these things. would be nice better battery life, although I could prolly get better battery life if I shortend the back light to 10 sec , I have mine set to 1 min. mine is a quadband 850/1900 or 900/1800, I dont know if all vk2000 are quadband, some web sites and blogs say its a triband sometimes even dualband,some quad, mine is a quadband, although the box it came in says triband on it. how you change from 850/1900 or 900/1800 is easy , at first I had trouble thinking that the phone didnt work because i live in the US which is band 850/1900 , the phone arrived in band mode 900/1800 which will not work in the US . so you have to manualy change it, which took me some time to figure out , it would be nice if it changed automaticly but it doesnt, here is how you change it if you get one and it says no service, press menu the top left button , press 3,press 2, press 6 , and select band 850/1900mhz 0r 900/1800mhz.

  • Terrible phone. Had it for one week and that was one week too long. First the problems with this phone, in no particulaar order: 1) Battery sucks - lucky to get through two five minute calls before it wants recharging (I'm not exagerating here) 2) If you hold the phone to your ear for more than three mins, the screen starts to burn your ear 3) The ringtones are terrible. They're not just crappy but are high pitched and annoying. I had to set it to vibrate before I through it against the wall in frustration. 4) The microphone is terrible. The people on the other line constantly ask you to speak up, or complain that they can't hear you properly. 5) There is no learning function for sms's. So every time you use a word or name that is not recognised by the phone, you have to retype it. 6) It doesn't save draft sms's. If you receive a call during a text, it deletes what you'd already started. And the postive: 1) Looks cool 2) Small size I won't go into the rest of the negatives, such as lack of functionality and other nuisances, as this phone is not meant to a multi functioned phone. I can handle that, but if it's going to be a regular phone you should at least be able to have conversations on it without the battery dying or the other party not being able to hear you. I'm all for cool little gadgets that fit in your pocket. If you're after something to impress your friends with, get one. If you actually want a phone that you're going to use more than once a day, steer clear until VK releases the next generation.

  • Great phone. Cheap price. This is a quad band phone 850/900/1800/1900. Great sound, looks awesome. If all you need is a basic phone. This is it! Only one bad thing! You will need to carry a second battery or ur charger with you. Who needs a camera on their phone anyways? I spend the extra money and got a nice sony T7.

  • the useless battery is a MAJOR problem for me with this phone, i have been getting more and more irritated with having to plug it in every night, and finding its always flat just when i really need to make a call. about 3 times now it has beeped and turned itself off due to low battery in the middle of a call - one was a very important call too, and i wasn't able to call them back. these days ppl assume if your phone dies that you are anidiot for not keeping it charged (and usually they are right) but not with this phone. you WILL be charging this phone every day. kinda defeats the purpose of having a tiny phone, when you pretty much have to carry around the charger in your other pocket! one more thing.. since i got this phone EVERYONE always says something like "i'm sorry but this is a really bad line..." when talking to me - ie the microphone makes your voice sound soft and metallic (even when speaking loud and clear). i am starting to fall out of love with this phone and i'm sorry because i really like everything else about it - its a great little phone, really well designed. but honestly guys, the poor battery is almost reason enough not to buy one, not to mention the cheap little microphone. PS. some tips to conserve battery life (you will need to do this) 1. lose the animation on the background and use an image instead. 2. turn off the blinking status light. 3. set the screen timeout time to minimum (5secs) 4. dont play the game or use the stopwatch they will drain a full battery faster than you would ever believe.

  • Reading some of the views on here it is a shame that the majority of moans are based on all singing & dancing phones. The VK2000 is just a basic phone,with the added bonus of being a better design than most phones avaible on the market today. Like a lot of people,I just want a phone to make or receive calls on rare occasions and when not in use, to be able to tuck it away in a pocket and forget about it. That it the whole point of this phone. It is a phone, and if that all you want then you wont find better. If you want all the rubbish they put in phones nowdays to show off to your friends and then dont buy this phone, but dont complain when you have knowing its a phone and not a stupid media centre.

  • I like the slim and compact of the phone until now. But the phone has brought me some inconvenient: 1. The phone can �hang� once a while. Once it hangs, there will be no call can come in or dial out, although the screen menu and the button still working well. 2.The phone battery can only last for 30 minutes of talking time although the line signal is fine at my area. The standby period of the battery is only 1 day if I did not make or receive any call. 3. The texts screen once a while will be distorted when I am writing SMS of more than a page in the white screen.

  • hey mobilemag guy, you mentioned you tested this phone but i cant find the test/review on the mobilemag website. can you please post the link. cheers

  • forget all about getting any help from the vk mobile official site either. there is a 'contact us' type form thing that i've used a couple of times to ask a couple of (genuine) questions and i've got no replies. does anyone care about us vk2000 owners??

  • I�ve just bought one of these off Ebay. It is indeed a nice-looking tiny phone. And most of the time it works well. BUT if you speak on it for any length of time (say more than 5 minutes) the speaker area of the phone, next to your ear, gets very hot. And I mean quite hot. It�s far too hot to be comfortable and you�ll find yourself swapping ears to try to get some relief from the heat. When I used it I couldn�t wait for the caller to get off the phone so I could cool my ears down - feels like they are being irradiated. If you buy this phone - use it for short calls, use the handsfree earpiece or send text messages. No Bluetooth No PC Sync No Mp3 Just a phone. Looks cool but runs hot. BTW if you're in the UK don't expect any help from VKmobile on their UK website. The VK2000 hasn't been release here yet (end Jan 2006) so no support for this product. When I phoned them and explained the problem I just got 'sorry - can't help you, byeee').

  • The Vk2000 is very hard to find, but the phone is great!Cool size and very high quality!If you can find one BUY IT!

  • This is one of the smallest and best phones we have tested to date.

  • got one from an ebay store in portugal. cost me 167 euros and it rocks! this is the tiniest phone and actually is quite good as well. this is what i think.. if anyone cares.. what i love: size, shape, weight, build quality is surprisingly good. screen is clear, sharp, and reacts fast to keypress. not polyphonic so sound is loud and clear. no faceplate so no chance of dust etc behind screen. always good reception and earpiece is also surprisingly good and loud. T9 is excellent & puts words used most at the top. buttons precise and easy but firm so no need to use keylock. what i hate: cheap flappy creaky plastic battery cover that moves when you press keys. battery life is useless- approx 1.5 - 2hrs talktime, 2 - 3 days standby max. doesnt accept enough characters under email or street addresses in phonebook to actually put any in! cant choose a plain white background and all 4 standard pics are ugly (if choose a background animation it chews up batt like playing a game does). when screen times out it goes off not dull or screensaver like other phones i mean off like cant even see clock. sms message writing doesnt count down characters remaining just tells you at end that you have started 2nd sms message. cant add words to the t9 dictionary. calendar doesnt say mon,tue or m, t etc you just see a grid of numbers, but at least sat and sun are coloured. unlike nokia it doesnt remember partially written sms message so if you exit its gone. to release keyguard u need to enter password! lucky the keys are well designed so no need for keyguard anyway. very asian ringtones.. jingle bells, happy birthday etc, im not kidding! ok thats a lot of bad things but overall the phone is great and very easy to use with all the features you need and none you dont, nice clear userfriendly display too. and wow how tiny is this phone, cant even feel it in your pocket, great!

  • This is the phone that everybody has to have!

  • I just got 2 of them from Korea - 3G system, but I'm in Hungary now, so I can just play with it. The phone looks great, small like the old school credit card size calculators, the display is also sweet, the menu is easy to use. The bad is that the back covers locking system is already broken - my friend showed me how to take it of, and he handled it like he would the regular phones. If I can buy a spare, then no problem. Still, I don't know about battery life.

  • I want to find out about standby of this mobile phone? can somebody tell me? thanks a lot... sim

  • I bought this phone in malaysia for 100 pounds, i love it but need some decent ringtones can anyone help?

  • Help needed, I need a new battery but cant get one in the UK, any idea where I can get one? Thanks Neil

  • My wife and i both have one.Great phone with no problems!Everybody wants one.

  • Could this phone be any better????

  • great little phone!works great!!

  • Your nobody if you have a flipphone,but you are somebody if you have a phone this samll and cool!!

  • messaging in the specs is listed as EMS, but should read SMS/EMS.

  • there is quite a detailed review of this phone here:

  • I bought the phone and sold it after a week. It sounds very loud and clear. The only problem is battery life. You must carry the charger everywhere.

  • I recently purchased one of these phones. It is fantastic as a weekend phone for when you go out and dont want to carry much.Great for calls and sms.dont buy it if you want any other functions from this phone.The best thing is that you dont even know your carrying it.

  • I got the phone from a store in portugal but its not waorking ok i cannot finish a call,may be because iam un the USA and its not equiped to work in the US..... its a good phone but iam having a problem with it,i will try to use in europe and see!!!!

  • I have one. battery life, with usual day work, last 2 days long. probably 1 hour of conversation each day. Its not going to last all week long, but its ok. You should buy this phone if you like: - Nice looking small phones, - Nice software, with great interface, - all elementar phone needs Forget about: camara, games, connection (like IRDA or bluetooth)... Personal opinion: BEST 2nd PHONE IN THE WORLD! Perfect to use if you wear suite everyday, or to put on your jeans when you go out and need to be "in touch"!

  • SWEEEEET Phone!!! The size and weight is so much more impressive in real life. I ordered 2 of them and am using one now! Incredible reception. This phone, surprisingly, is a QUAD Band phone. (Even though the box said Tri-Band) The ringtones are NOT polyphonic, but who cares? It is a gadget junkie's dream come true!

  • Now available in the UK and France from PixMania.com but at a high price

  • i got to get me one of those!!!!

  • I bought one of these a week ago. Until now I pleased with it. Bettery life, stand by: 120h - conversation: 2h Can any one tell me how can I add ringtones on it?

  • you can find it here for 149€ plus 15€ for living out of portugal / brazil you may need some help with the portuguese :s

  • I don't speak Chinese, but using an online translator, the general opinion of this phone from the chinese reviewer, seems to be that he loved the size, general phone performance, price, and battery life, but disliked the lack of features (only one game, limited phonebook entries and ringtones).

  • hi guys! i've looking much about this mobile on the internet, and i found at last what i was looking for, much pics! and pics of the menus! from a guy who bought it. i leave you the link for you all to take a look at it. advice: it's a chinese page :( but you can see the 7 pages by clicking on the page number at the bottom. you won't understand chinese i supose, but u can use some intuitive internet navigation ;) btw, if someone new chinese, it would be pretty cool if they where able to translate the users opinion in the page's bottom.

  • Great phone!! Love it...only one thing i don�t like..batery!!

  • Hello! How is it about the standy-by time, I can not find it any were. Is the speaker any good?

  • It looked like the best phone for me until I realized "compact and slim" and "thickness mobile phone" it's actually on the phone and not only on the pictures. That's CHEESY. It's like buying a Ferrari that has "sport car" emblems all over it. ...DUUUH!

  • sorry hers the right one

  • live pics of on the bottom of the page

  • I ve got one and I love it.. its really tiny the price was 183 dollar.. Ive bought it in china..the lack of ir or bt is neg an the mem otherwise its a great phone..

  • this is good phone. u will get this phone in indian market very shortly.

  • Pure genious! I just can't believe they can make anything this small actually work. This light!!!! Nobel prize there... But I can't say I like it. I tend to lose eveything that small, never mind a card-shaped phone. And I guess it won't have the best features in the planet. But hey, that's not the point. Pretty much like the RAZR, its appeal is based on one thing only, DESIGN. RAZR is "weird", this one is tiny. Extremely small... Sorry, I can't help it, I'm too amazed.

  • i hope it will have sms in near future

  • Pro 1) Small thin & light Pro 2) Black Con 1) No case, unlike the Samsung P300 Con 2) VK Mobile

  • ok, this one is nice and sexy. forget about some SF functions (EDGE, 11mpix camera, 60gb micro drive etc), ok with me too. but.... what about battery life? 4h? 44h? i can't find this data. anybody any idea?

  • This must the perfect phone for going out at night and travelling! Finally something that makes sense! I'll get it as a second phone. Screw the features! A phone is a phone....ET PHONE HOME, remember!

  • its lack of feature and memory I`m not suprised if it has a tiny size

  • I'd very much like one of these. Finally a small and real lightweight phone. Wonder if it gets imported to Norway and to which price...

  • I think this is like the Motorola L7 & the U what ever its called! Utter crap!

  • this is crap!! absolutly rubbish, what a crappy phone. i hate this phone so much that if i ever see one i will burn it until it dies. i think it is absolutly discuting. if i see someone with this phone i shall shoot them with an air rifle!!!

  • This sounds like the perfect second phone, my current phone is a SE700I a very good phone I must say but it`s like you have a fridge in your pocket....VK2000 would be a perfect solution for light traveling

  • i saw this phone in china and it looks TINY, the keys are completly FLAT! madness. infact i think it would be a nice phone to play with simply because its soo small!:) sam

  • haha oh man that's awesome!!!! Cingular will rule the world!!!

  • this is what ALL phones should be like... a phone should be a phone, not a camera or an internet browser... it should do a few things and do them to perfection. I say replace the camera/browser/and all that other crap with a large screen, long battery life and make the damn thing, thin and light.

  • It's simple perfect!

  • no bluetooth, no radio, no edge.... I don't care. I want one however if no speakerphone forget about it.

  • Finally a phone thats really small and thin . Sure it doesn't have all those fancy features like camera ect .At the end of the day a phone is there when U want to call people if it does this then good .

  • this is damn odd looking phone!!!

  • beautifull, stunning, slim and modern. I realy hope the features live up to the phone. its gonna be a hit. When will it be availible. I wanna be the first one to have it

  • Nice looking and very small. This is what I am looking for.

  • so how much is this vk2000 and where can we buy it from ?

  • i really like it alot.i've been waiting for such slim phone and light.the design's so simple ,can put it in your pocket,very convenient,unlike some other phone too thick.i'm curious will it be on salein Asia country like Singapore,Thailand?

  • VGA camera...why bother..all I need from a phone is something to replace my clunky business phone when I go out socially. As long as it's small, light, and will order a taxi for me then its alright by me. Top marks, and cheap too!

  • i think its the perfect phone best design but im afraid to know if the battery is powerful or not !!!!! i hope at least 4hrs and 10 days stand by !!! i would like someone tell me the truth pleaaaaase

  • You can save up to 1000 persons in phonebook~ so dont worry :)

  • Has anyone tested the Battery capabilities and phonebook function? If it is a business phone it should be able to stand at least 3 hr-talk-time and hold 500 phone numbers.

  • and what about the capacity of the battery ??

  • pls. do not buy any VK mobile phone. It SUX to the MAX. The GUI is crap, the h/w is crappier! I've own a VK phone before and it's sitting in the cupboard now, collecting dust. you'll regret if u get one

  • This is so fantactic! In my case that the cellular phone would be in my pocket, it is really too good! Congratulations.

  • 48g OMG!!!! :o thats one small cellphone! it doesnt need a vga (or any other) camera coz it would be bigger :( all it lacks is bluetooth :)

  • Great bussiness phone, it has everything you need. Hope it will come to my country

  • I had tested the phone. Basically this is a basic phone. But one good thing about this phone is really slim and light. If put inside pocket, you wouldn't feel anything. I like the phone cause of the slim feature.

  • My god i cant believe i hasnt got a camera or an mp3 player. It should have at least a VGA camera

  • Hi, does anyone know anywhere I can buy this phone? PS If this post is already here, I keep writing it and for some reason eveytime I log on, it's gone!! Maybe just my computer.

  • 48 Grams......wow 8.8 mm .......wow too Colour Screen.wow tooooo Very Nice and easy mobile, but i will not stop using my SE K700i for this phone... 2 more things, this phone would be better if it was a black and white screen as it would have make the battery last longer and maybe provide more options like infrared and also a memory capacity of some Megabytes(mb)would have been much appreciated for its users to store more ringtones for example, Anyway we can't expect all of those options in such a small phone...for the moment but very nice try VK...good luck for future models.

  • does anybody knows if its realesed on any online store? and if so where? less then 100dollar right? // vidde

  • the lightest phone on this earth... gud lookin as well.... 48 gms phone.. hearin it 4 the first time in my life.. like 2 have 1 but VK mobile is not available in INDIA

  • This thing sounds awesome! Where can we see a complete function list? Just wanted to know if it had loud speaker? I assume it has a slot for my SIM card?

  • 8.8mm it also can fit in my wallet near the credit cards. Basic phone functions... Best can I wish just a device to talk. If it has only B&W display to reduce consumption or even E-Ink display it would make aperfect score

  • 48 grams??? wicked!!!
