  • is there any more vk phones that have bluetooth because my daughter is looking for a phone with a mp3, camera and bluetooth.

  • it kicks a** this phone rocks exept it has no bluetooth witch is a necessery but apart from thatit rules

  • This Phone is sweet!!!!!!!!!You can't beat it:) I don't need bluetooth so its ok w/o it!!!! If your looking for a sleek stylish phone this is the oneAnd its not to high on price$$$$$$

  • To ALL folks , Cingular(in USA) uses 1900mhz(old antennas) and 850mhz(most of them and new ones) antenna signals, so therefore(from experience) ANY tri-band phone works with T-Mobile perfectly fine(t-mobile antennas are 1900 mhz frequency) and works not as good but still works with cingular! therefore, To HAVE a BEST reception of signal you must have Quad-Band phone(for cingular users) and you will be fine if you have tri-band and T-Mobile service!

  • I have a couple of these phones. I have the Thai/I-mobile versions. Here are my thoughts on the phone: Fantastic MP3 player (in terms of sound quality; but average in terms of features). Came with two batteries and an external charger, so they know battery life sucks (about a day). Overall, user interface/menus very good and logical. Nice keyboard and SMS/MMS entry if you text alot (probably the best I have seen). Selecting non alphanumeric characters in the SMS/MMS editor is clever and quite intuitive. MMS and SMS are integrated into one app, which is nice if you use both. Switching between Thai and English when writing an SMS/MMS is nice; no need to hit a hot key to switch languages. MP3 cannot be backgrounded while do something else (eg writing an SMS; only phone I have seen that does this is I-mobile 509). Nice big display. Annoying pointy antenna (Americans seem to like large pointy antennas for some strange reason). Multimedia integration nice. Video recorder almost useless since it does not record sound. Camera ok, but quite dull in low light even with the flash light. Reliable/no crashes. Display of current month on main display is very useful. Probably the reason I am quite enthusiastic with the phone was that it was very cheap (THB 4700). Certainly Nokia is now looking very expensive and should be worried about loosing market share to these new manufacturers from Korea, Taiwan and China. Came with 128Mb Micro SD card and headphones/ext mic. Does not recognise 1Gb microSD, although recognises a 512Mb one. Filenames on the microSD are in DOS 8.3 format rather than the long filename format (annoying; why?). Remote controller feature is good; Sony TVs work straight off, and you can program in other devices. Its so cheap that it makes a good overall phone, with a good MP3 player thrown in, that you can throw it away when a better model comes along! I have a view that there is no perfect mobile phone out there, so every model has its compromises.

  • how do you change the writting in a text to small letter not capitals?

  • i dont know if u still have the vk900, but if u do there is no dual band version! only triband. if u see no network that is because you have to go to network and to band and choose 1900 MHZ. it probably just not automatic. joe.

  • where can i get a cd so i can download my picture on my computer

  • irDA is for exchaging contacts or shedules saved in your phone with other phones or computer with irDA. and it can be used as remote controller of your TV or VCR. so try it :)

  • vixxen, i sent you email with eng manual. and also here is website of VK where you can find manuals, etc.

  • i have had my vk900 for 2 months, it is no where near as good as i thought it would be, the user book was in chinese so i couldn't read it. if anyone can help me find out more about my phone please send me a message to [email protected] thanx

  • dis phone is okay

  • could it be possible if i will use a SMART or GLOBE SIM CARD in my phone that is dual band? and it is International roaming? Could it be possible if I will be convert this dual band into our any network here in the PHILIPPINES?Thank You for answering my question.hoping your answer to my E-mail.Thanks

  • What i was expecting from vk 900 i haven't got that. the battery life is just one day, movie can be captured for just 10 seconds and without sound. You cannot send it to computer also. The mp3 sound is good specially with the head phones. if anyony knows how to take a longer movie then email me on [email protected] I doesnot feel comfortable with these problems. Just help me out of this mess.Thanks

  • Ah! I realized that I probably purchased a DUAL-BAND version of this phone in Thailand, as that is what is available there. I feel really stupid, because one store I went to told me it was tri-band (which it probably was), but then I went to another store because it was cheaper there and never asked whether it was tri-band or dual-band...only assumed it would be tri-band. Is there anyway that I can upgrade the firmware to make it tri-band? That would really help me a lot... Thanks.

  • I purchased this phone in Thailand...it worked fine for me in Vietnam...but once I hit the States and popped in my AT&T SIM card, it told me there is "No Network." What gives? Someone said it works with Cingular? It hasn't been working for me...

  • It works in the US with Cingular

  • yes it will work in australia, any phone with 900/1800/1900 will work.

  • I was thinkin purchasing this VK900. But i dont know if it will work in the US with tmobile. Anyone knows anything about this fone?

  • it is gsm hence the name of the site "GSM ARENA"

  • how long is the video take on this? will it work in australia? is it GSM? email me at [email protected] please. good quality pics and video???

  • VKMobile is a Korean Corporation in producing cellphones, standing after Samsung and before Innostream. VKMobile products almost in CDMA so in the international market, VKMobile isn't popular. In Vietnam, you can easily find VKMobile with all products here with a suitable price

  • Yeah, this VK900 is the GSM version of VK200C CDMA. Don't pay attention in VKMobile - bad in customer care

  • can cdma vk mobile use into gsm frequency site?

  • from what ive herd i wouldent waste my money on vk mobile i havent spoken 2 anyone thats been happy with them no support,info nothin so based on that i wouldnet buy but perso preff play a big part

  • it's a very good mobile but the life's battery is ridiculous.....one day????????????????????????????????

  • i have a vk 2o7i and it is absolutly rubbish is there any other vk's that some one would suggest i should try. will some one please write back and give me a suggestion.

  • Hiya, i am thinking of purchasing the VK500 n i wanna no if it has a mp3 or midi player, or wateva its called, on it?? dus n e 1 no? and wer cna i buy it?

  • does samsung e800 ring a bell

  • I just use it about 1 month. I bought it in Thailand. Most of Thai user compliant about Battery is easy to empty. Actual Maximum usage about 2 days only and standard battery never indicated capacity, just stamp Li-polymer 3.7 V. I use this phone about 10-20 min per day. VK give two battery but 2 battery are not same. One able to use only 1.5 days. Will you happy to use this mobile phone? I will send this complaint to VK WWW directly.

  • I think this phone is alright could do with a bit more features i would probably give it an 6 out of 10

  • they sell this fone at blackpool in the old market shopping centre and trust me this aint cheap better off buying the d500 for just a few quid more

  • looks nice but not as eye catching as the d500 but memory card slot and bluetooth services you cant complain at that

  • You can get it only in China as far as I know and pretty good build of a phone and it is not cheap.

  • does it have bluetooth? does it have IR? where can i get this phone for cheap? and how much would it cost? does anyone have any problems with the phone?

  • where i can find VK900 here in the philippines?

  • Where can I find this phone in Romania? please e-mai me at [email protected]

  • even with remote control option?? with out bluetooth?? no need

  • HAHAHA!!! VK mobile is Korean Company!! www.myvk.co.kr(www.vkmobile.com)

  • Naaahh..just kidding...Well, VK Corporation is a Hongkong based mobile manufacturing company. They manufacture inexpensive mobile for Vodafone and other Asian Markets. Their model VK 530 is already a rage in UK costs just 130euros... Munoth is a businessman who uses VK Corps technologu in India.

  • VK Munoth is an indian Businessman who manufactures Cell phones in the name of VK Mobiles. It is an Indian product and the only Indian product to manufacture cellphones indigeniously.

  • It's better then all the samsung phones availble on the market today,but how do you now it's cheap?

  • Wow, this phone looks like the E800/D500! As other people say, it has better features! Like blue tooth, IR and a card slot! WOW!! I TELL YOU! The problem is what phone company is VK? hehe

  • Wot is this thing! A poor mans D500! but it has got a mem card slot! Samsung u gotta really do better than this in that department.

  • Looks like a good cheap competitor for D500, need it to be released
