Vodafone 858 Smart - User Reviews

  • This was my 4th Android Phone, was slow as fk ,but still had good time with it.Had great speakers. 2011 would'nt have been great for me without this phone so had to appreciate it now too

  • This phone is from 2011. There is really no competition between this and a modern feature phone.

  • 2.8" Android phone? The Nokia 230 screen is 2.8" and is a feature phone with a T9 keypad and all that. Think about that for a second.

  • Oh, thanks.

  • Huawei

  • What is the manufacturer of this phone?

  • I still have this one laying around. I got it just when it came out back in 2011. Suprisingly, it still works today. But it was a laggy mess even back in the day when it was almost brand new. For example, almost none of the aplications worked smoothly, it was freezing all the time, and screen was just too small to type on. I even tried to install a custom ROM on it, but that almost did not help in any way, maybe just a bit. But still, I was using it for a year or two, and it was my first android phone, so I did not mind it's slowness back in the time. And yeah, it makes no sense to get this today. Just skip it.

  • nice and easy to hide

  • Vodafone 858 smart is very good phone as to compare the size of the phone and what it can do. Sometimes people just wondering if they see me using it with Skype calls. BUT the only problem this phone has is the internal memory, is too small, sometimes unless you uninstall an application before you can bring in new one even the phone can stop making update on your apps due to insufficient space. So if Vodafone can come again with newer version with bigger memory because the Phone is good, thank you.

  • vodafone is good cell and but internal memory very low otherwise good...

  • can I please get help on how to install whatsapp on Vodafone 858 smart I have been trying but it does not allow me to download it.

  • does it support wechat

  • A slow phone that will struggle to run games like angry birds, (although a gba emulator is quite nice) but can get you through the day, with some issues. Its low resolution screen and lack of a capable gpu cause problems on many apps, and makes for a cramped space with ads. No multitouch suport from stock rom. The internal storage is very limiting too, 2-4 big apps at 10-20mb's each will completely fill your phone. With some unofficial builds of "Cyanogen mod" you can make it a slightly better, faster, multitouch device running android 2.3. If you are really brave and can put up with big bugs, beta builds of cyanogen mod 9.1 (android 4.0.4) are floating around, and can bring this phone into a new light. If you can, save up for any android with 4.0 or better, iv'e seen too many people put off android and going for iphones because they think the only android is a cheap android like this. Unless you're a cheep tech hacker, need a backup phone, or DON'T care about getting an android, Do Not buy this phone!

  • no

  • i cannot download WhatsApp messenger on my phone anymore

  • Hi how do you install the apk from the SD card. Thank you.

  • There seems to be a problem with Google Play. Somehow Google Play thinks that your device is not compatible with this app anymore. There is a way to overcome this. Uninstall the existing Whatsapp from your phone. Download from the website of www.whatsapp.com the latest Whatsapp apk. Copy the new apk on a SD-card and insert this inside the telephone. Install the new apk from the SD-card (for this you will have to allow installation from "Unknown sources"). Done. The newly installed Whatsapp can come up one time with the same message, but just ignore this. It will work. Good luck.

  • My whatapp just reportted that it has expired but when I try to upgrade , says it does not support my device.PLEASE HELP,what do I have to do?

Another problem is the fact that I can't get text message because the phone says my inbox is full yet I DELETED all my text messages and cleared data. My dialer stopped worked the phone takes long to reboot and my music player never works properly so don't buy this phone

  • my vodafone 858 i got it from my dad, i can make calls even surf d internet but d problem is i dont see incoming calls, when calling my phone it says d line is busy and i cant reset my phone. can anybody help

  • The worst phone I ever had. Most games doesn't work altough the processor is average. For example try the game Okey from the android market. You'll see how the phone blocks. The design is not well inspired either, 'cause it have a slippery form and texture (hard neat plastic)... You must buy a silicon case from the first day to avoid phone drops... If you can't find one, try always grab it very tight, avoid sweaty hands. The usb/charging cable is also too short... You can't put the phone on the table while you're charging from a drain close to the floor. I hated it. I resumed using it just for calls and texting.

  • Hi, I have this phone and it�s not a bad phone. The adroid that comes preinstalled makes it bad. It is not to hard to install android 2.3.7 gingerbread and the phone becomes totally better. If you need to backup data on your phone do it if not just perform a factory reset before you continue. 1. First download this ROM to your external SD card on the phone: After download is complete, rename the downloaded file (long hold it to rename) to whatever you want (for example rom.zip, don�t leave any spaces or symbols) keeping .zip extension at the end of the name of course. 2. Now you need to root your phone, follow this guide, it�s very easy: After root� 3. You need to download Rom Manager Premium ­ Open Rom Manager (click accept for permissions when asked) and on Rom Manager click Flash ClockworkMode Recovery (it will download and install automatically) When it�s done, while you are at Rom Manager, just click Install ROM from SD Card and follow the onscreen prompts to find and select the ROM you downloaded. It will take the phone into recovery mode and installs the new ROM. Some guides on the net that say you must go first into recovery mode and then flash the ROM didn�t work for me, but Rom Manager worked perfectly well for restarting the phone into recovery and installing the new ROM. Now you can check settings of the new rom where you can set cpu at higher levels while 678 is more stable level in my experience. After I did all that, I installed System Tuner Pro and removed or froze apps that I don�t need. Now the phone is much faster and better in every way.

  • Has this phone got a screenshot thing?& to making it faster,please explain,so that the less privileged cab understand better

  • Touch ur home screen for 2seconds and select widget from the pop up, select power control from the subsequent pop up and touch the GPS icon from the widget that appears on ur screen.

  • hey can any body tell me how to start or close gps from the home screen

  • To make your phone faster you need to root device. Just download superoneclick on your windows pc or laptop and root you phone using this software . After rooting your phone just download legdroidcm7.zip file from internet than go to play store and download rom manager . Flash clockwork recovery and than select choose from sdcard select legdroid.zip file from your folder and apply it. now your phone running on android 2.3.7 gingerbread . Now you can optimize your phone using various root apps and now you can clock your cpu up to 768 mhz but i advice you that do not set cpu frequency over 700mhz its result in crash

  • I do not think so. This a android os phone. and this is good durable. Good value with the price. I'm using now for 2 years.

  • Vodafone 858 is quite a complicated phone.Before you use it,read the manual book attentively or review everything in the settings menu.For you to call out a call you have to set your call settings by activating the standby to cut the call.The standby button multi task,it is used for silence,flight mode,switch on/off and cutting out a call.The GPS is switched off on wireless network settings in the settings menu.

  • I have a vodafone 858 smart, My phone is telling me that i need to upgrade my whatsapp, ive been trying to do that but it either taking my airtime or it not loading the new one. my question is. how do i delete my old whatsapp from my from completely and then to reload again

  • i buy vodafone 858 2month ago but this mobile net setting not save in hand set so i do not use internet this is my complaint about this handset

  • can you tell me why I cant phone out on me 858 smartphone also I cant turn off my GPS I have put it back to factory setting but does not make any diffrance owen

  • Everyone, i bought this mobile phone, and i've to say the following for everyone that is going to buy it too First of all, the operating system It got android froyo 2.2, but you can't upgrade it to higher except by downloading a special rom Second The Camera, it's 2MP actually 2mp satisfies me, but it doesn't satisfy some people, so you decide Third, the processor, 500+ mhz, that really sucks and you can't play any game without lag and you can't chat, use wifi, use packet data without lag so that's pretty much all what you need to know if you're going to buy this mobile Camera : I think is good OS : 2.2 is laggy and too old Processor : totally sucks and it's a major reason not to buy the phone

  • How do I cancel my /E mail account on my Vodafone 858. Its not obvious. Help appreciated.

  • I've just bought this phone and for the price it is a great phone. R400 for a smart phone is fantastic. It does what it needs to do, yes it is slow, and internal memory is not much, but I did not expect much, Just wanted to be able to use whatsapp or similar with out breakign the bank. My only gripe is that you cannot choose to install apps to the sd card and it came with a 2gb card great. Compare apples with apples people. Don't buy this phone if you expecting the capabilities of a high end smart phone.

  • how can i download and play games with my phone.cus any game i download does not work

  • Network problem

  • The reception is canceled

  • Option 1. when you installed new apps you can uncheck the auto update box. 2. Go to play store, now click on your phone menu key. (note: : Android smartphone usually had three or four button on the front.one being home button, search, back and menu button) go to setting unchecked the auto update app box. there you go.

  • Pls can someone tell me how to stop automatic updates on the apps I have installed, it auctomatically updates taking all my data bundle. i have checked everywhere on the net, cant seem to find a solution. Thanks

  • pls can someone help me on how i can get the carlibrator of this phone,my own get bad and i do really need to replace it,i love the phone very much,and cant afford new one now,please i need your assistant.

  • U will get the touch pad only in the gallary of vodafone but bill is mandatory to change or buy any parts of the mobile......

  • Vodafone 858 has a capacitive touchscreen meanwhile the 845 has a resistive touch screen. You can get multitouch to vf 858 by a custom Rom.

  • u r getting android phone v2.2.2 of worth 5000 this is the great thing

  • i thought this phone was good for its price, 40 euro for an android phone and it was sturdy and not unbearable to navigate through menus

  • 1- The worst thing about it is that the volume of the voice during call is very low. I can hardly hear what the other person is saying when talking with this phone. 2-Internal memory is low, so you cannot install many apps.

  • I Agree with you. This is not good mobile phone

  • I Suggest not to buy this phone internal memory is too low and its getting hang...Its a worst mobile in andoid

  • I m using this phone from last 1 year...its a good phone...but now touch of this phone is not working. How much it cost other repair?

  • What a smart fone, but slow sumtyms. I love it very smart.

  • I had this phone for almost 1 year and for his price the features are pretty good, but the performance is very very low (and display is small too) hope this post will help the others in choosing a smartphone

  • its the best phone in the world I love you tube facebook google play are working very well on it

  • Just uninstall apps, and you can receive sms again. It happened to me before. I don´t understand why sms has not priority over apps. in other words, who is the stupid, the phone or the OS!

  • The speaker volume is too low. I can hardly hear the caller. Ive tried to adjust the volume of the sound but doesnt help. What must I do?

  • It is slow, the screen is too small, lots of lag in some games (such as Angry Birds).

  • it has a slow service speed also whwn you are replacing this phone

  • dis is a gud arod phne in price of 3000-4000 only k............

  • Hello to everyone. I read on here all the way on this device. Before you make accusations on this device, please see at what price to sell! At this price, operates acceptable

  • it is slow n it is nt dat suprising

  • Network problem for this phone on vodafone network

  • Please tell me does it has good quallaty

  • This phob lags very much and so you can only type at one quarter of full speed which is really frustrating and it misses keys if you type too fast on it. But I guess this is what you must expect on such a low end phone. This is probobly the worst touch screen phone ever designed.

  • it runs very slow when most applications are downloaded

  • Am always notified to delete my sms inbox but my inbox is empty.i ve deleted all my messages but am still notified that incoming messages rejected since my inbox is full whiles it aint true.could anyone pls help me.i havent recieved my messages for the past week.Help!!!

  • phone must be off then factory reset it by holding power volme up and and menu buttons together for about 10 seconds then let go and wait for the options use volume key to go up or down then the menu key to select

  • this phone is the best but the battery it doens't last u can only login for 20 to 25 minutes with the phones battery.

  • it does support whatsapp and twitter too. bt its gt a tiny screen, so if u gt thick fingers like me, ths fon is not good.

  • Hi i purchased the phone but i have a question does it have games???????

  • Hi, I'm about to get the phone at a good price at Clicks it has pros and cons but I do have 1 question can this phone download whatsapp messenger please answer before the 20 November as I need the answer before then.Oh and my comment is that it is a really cool phone. One last question does it have games?????

  • does it support video call on tango or skype

  • I have this phone for 8 months now. Overall it's a good smartphone for beginners and for it's price. Yes it is not fast and once it is loaded with apps will hang up sometimes. The battery is not good, no flash, slow Bluetooth speed, no multi touch... but I'm happy with it

  • hw can i update it?

  • dont buy this mobile it is lost of money first of all it hangs to much its ram and processor is nt good bt internet iss good sometimes it goes fast its andriod so no problem for applications

  • I had no problem with this phone until today when my screen suddenly froze, its refusing to unlock or pick in coming calls, I have also noticed that the battery does not last the whole day.

  • this fone is ssssssslow

  • my camera is not snapping n it does not ring out when belling , what should i do ?

  • whenever I copy a text and I want to send as an SMS, the phone rather converts it to MMS, though I want to send it as an SMS. How do I stop this?

  • my battery is not strong.and the phone gets slow frequentely

  • very worst phone , the touch was complaint easily

  • get juicedefender.apk or download battery saver from google play store.it is a general problem with all androids from v1 to v3 because of the running internet apps and updates.the battery saver should be set to aggressive power save.this will kill all update processes and stop 3G when fone is idle

  • this mobile is very good - i get internet very easy - and i get smart apps android it watch everything at net - but the betary is not good if you uses from call at list 2 day and finished - by the way all option very good better than galaxy samsong because it littel price than any mobiles another it - thank you for mobile : vodafone smart 858 - mahmoud elassal mob : 01001161220

If u want cheap and good phone then buy vodafone smart 2 , it is from al katel company and it made in france for vodafone . The CPU is better than smart 858 and it is faster and u will pay little more than 858 But still smart 2 is cheaper and it has better camera and overall do not but vodafone 858 or u will regret like i always did from 1st day i got this phone ;)

  • how to upgrade my android virson

  • hi friends .i buy it for 13000 rs[100usd] from dialog . i really happy with that phone it has wifi ad 3g. play games on it

  • it's a nice cheap android phone, I've one and i tell you some times i get a bit annoyed with it, lack's processor power and memory ram; Because of that it becomes sometimes sluggish (if there is just some app installed, I've 4 now ), the touch keyboard its a bit slow so when you're writing quickly it temps you to lose patience, especially when you're in a hurry to send a message. The battery last's me like 2days, i'm the typical sms/game guy so it's quite good for it's price. The WiFi its good, but of course costs a lot of energy; The 2.0megapixel camera is bad with sunny day's and at night. One good thing, the touch screen it's easily and cheaply replaceable.

  • Memory Full Prevents You From Receiving Messages. To Overcome This Problem, You need To Uninstall/Delete Some Of The Applications On Your Vodafone Smart.

  • The battery life is a joke, and the camera is dodgey as, but all in all its a sound good cheap android.

  • good phone, batt does go flat;depending on what you run but its easy to use ,cheap and bulletproof,one year of use and is still ok - try one

  • It has a terrible camera with no flash. The camera is a waste of time.

  • does the phne hide application nd open anthr at da sym tym?....does it hav a good camera wit flash?

  • what causes this 'text message memory full' even after deleting messages. how can the battery last longer

  • Vodafone India has slashed its price to 3100 INR only. Surprised? I am not. Because it runs on Android 2.2, there aren't any takers, so there.

  • it is a good phone. Excellent touch. One problem is that the battery runs low early. To the guy who wanted a picture editing software, try Pics Art.

  • Yes, all Android phones support WhatsApp

  • yes!

  • Im soo excited to be getting this mobile tomorrow. I hope its going to satisfy my needs. Does it support whatsapp?

  • im having a battery problem wth my own.secondly is thr some software for photo editing on this model

  • look i got mine for under a hundred dollars with tax there seleng it onlione for 199 plus tax

  • I want this mobile

  • P.S. Touch screen is good, very sensitive, does have volume control but again I say audio very poor. Good for texting calls but fun, only 130mb internal memory so will fill up just after normal google play updates....this device is more 2009 than 2012!!

  • Audio excellent through decent earphones, internal speaker very low volume. Screen good in portrait mode, landscape is dreadful, as very poor viewing angle. Solid costruction though, overall best avoided I feel.

  • no

  • soo i may want this phone but just to check is it a good phone to get if you want to text and call and play music. also does it have a volume button and is the touch screen easy and simple to use and will i get use to it and have fun with this android.

  • this phone is good but i found that the instruction manuel wasn't very detailed and the phone loses battery really quickly. plus, the phone overheats very quickly, but overall this is a good android phone

  • why is it that half of the screen is untouchable

  • ma friend buyed this phone last month and it was a nicegoing phone untill this month when he wanted 2 activate internet on his mobile but he cant acess this internet as he felt that internet is very difficult touse on this mobile

  • It looks good... but it is very slow and very unresponsive. if u press the home button, you will see nothing for 10-30 sec, than icons will show up. battery life veryy bad. the display is too small and not too easy to type. playing angry birds and fruit ninja (and other "big" games) is horrible. the window "... HAS STOPPED WORKING (FORCE CLOSE)" shows very often. and all this things (and other) happened just after a month i bought it just because it was android. but the phone is really bad. thats it.

  • Is it safe to root this phone? I read on the internet that it could get bricked and the warranty is void.what mod are you using?

  • Is it safe to root this phone? I read on the internet that it could get bricked and the warranty is void.what mod are you using?

  • hey bro check which application is using battery .. go to Battery Usage.. let only Android system to use battery .. uninstall other app if it is using ur batery continously.. and dont use Live wallpapers.. and also decrease ur screen brightnes ,, and use WIFi only when u need it..and Disable all screen animations.. go to setings, display. screen animations, then disable it.. for other info serch it on Google it will help you :)

  • Good smartphone for the price.With a little bit of tuning and disabling sync,3g,live wallpaper,gps,putting backlight on auto,wifi of,internet data plan of you can get a batter lifetime of 2 full days!Or 1 day with intensive talk time sms,wifi 1-2h,sync more than 3 time /day.Uninstall all useless program that isn't open more than 1 time from the instaling.Wen you read 1-2 tutorials from the internet you will see this phone can work very well without legs.You can enable live wallpapers in software version 2.2.1 but unfortunately you cannot do this in software version 2.2.2 this is a bug in the update and you most hack you pfone ,root it and ad or deleate some file to work again.Gps is working fine with igo my way.(piratebay) For the money you pay this is an excellent acceptable little smartphone.I recommend you.

  • Hi its the cell fone is very good but the battery cosumtion is very worst so give me the solution its the same otherwise very excellent fone and less prises than samsung smartfones

  • Hi, pls format ur phone and disable sync (eg facebook,phonebook,email,twitter etc) and it will be atleast 60% better.Use battery saver app and disable auto adj of screen resolution. I did the same. And as for screen it is nice pls make sure u remove the plastic layer on it and use very carefully. Amazing features however drawback is not quality parts like touchscreen. Mine problem with this one is pixel dead and hence cant unlock phone in any way.Hence using old nokia phone.

  • turn of gps - bluetooth - wifi - and disable data interne connection

  • what do u expect its price is less than 100$ !!!!

  • Nah that is a light senser to tell when the phone is infront of your face so turns off the screen so you cant press stuff with your face

  • the phone is very good, but its battery consumption is too much. i wish something is done to the subsequent ones.

  • I bought this device about a week ago and I can say, with some certainty, that is is the worst phone I've ever had. From the minute I turned it on, it was lagging. I'm not expecting lightning speed, but this thing is taking the mickey. The battery life is also terrible and from what I can see, you have to 'force stop' all of the applications one by one rather than clearing the lot. Even when I have full-strength wi-fi, the data service is also remarkably slow considering. Complete waste of time and money. If you are thinking of buying a low-end smartphone, spend £30-£40 extra and get something that's worth it, because this isn't.

  • does it have a camera infront cos i can actually see one besides the red flasher light or its not.

  • why stuck 858 vodafone games

  • well i found this fone very fine and so simpe to use in this price its a good fone n fully loaded with almost all smartfone features, only i miss front came for video calling....

  • please tell how can i make the screen into 1 instead of 5 screens ????

  • Its very good handset to use & its cheapest in the andriod. I am happy with my phone.... "Thank You Vodafone".

  • I have had this phone for about 6 months and i am very disappointed in it. The phone is EXTREMELY laggy and force closes apps all of the time. It does not support live wallpapers or 3d gaming either. It is not even multitouch! The one good feature about this phone is the speaker quality. It is very good for such a low end device. But if you were thinking of getting this phone i would not recommend this, and you can find a much better value phone for about the same price. I have heard the the HTC Explorer is much better quality and am planning to buy one soon.

  • well i can sorta see a camera at the front but i dont know how to use it if had this phone for like about 3 months.How can i upgrade it to have a camera at the front?

  • this phone is not.......................

  • which is the best rom for this phone? actually im using 360gravity 2.3.9, but i want to try a better one.

  • i can"t use inte rnet in dis it"s very slow..

  • The Phone (i.e. Vodafone Torres 858) runs on Android Froyo which runs a lot of apps without closing except you stop their process in the settings>applications. You can actually save some battery power by disabling the data in your mobile network found under the settings menu when you are not online or browsing. And Also disable the background data in the accounts and syncs under the settings options. Or you simply install a battery booster on your mobile

But yeah there is a method but it will void your warranty. I would say not to upgrade it atleast till 1yr. Though the warranty is for 2yrs on this set.

  • Hi i have this phone but it will not pair with my car a peugeot 307 , does anyone know how to ? does not give me any chance to type in a code,

  • This phone use to be good when it was first bought. Now 1.5 months later it has become SO slow, freezing constantly on every page. It is also hard to text with. the touch screen buttons are small. If you have fake nails on it will take you 10 times longer to write a message! Also if you have fat fingers you wont be able to text without making mistakes in every word. The battery when fully charged wont even last a day. I have to charge all night so in the morning it is fully charged and by 5 -6pm it is dead again!! It is a cheap phone so is not a very good phone. Was a waste of money

  • hi friends please tell me what is the procedure to update this phone because it is going very slow.

  • Yes it has RDS and also TTS + EVC functions

  • i want to uninstall MAPS because only in this way i can save the batery. how i can? What i can do other to save battery?

  • According to my experience this phone is cost effective. People who say bad phone, freezing etc is because they are still with Froyo 2.2 Version of Android. This is making them to frusturate. I have updated the phone to 2.3 Gingerbread.. wow, the phone is very much fast and it is very eye catching. The battery comes almost for a day even with Wife/Edge or GPS enabled. You can customize the phone the way you wanted when you know how to use it. But as a standard user, who is just looking for making calls and say i have a smartphone, it is not going to work, as you need to stay with the factory default OS and you cant get much of out of it.

  • Download Superoneclick

  • Can u tell me which app did u use to root your phone? I used z4root but it didn't work

  • Do you know that you can download thousands of apps for this phone just like any other Android phone? I have about 35 apps downloaded on my HTC Wildfire and about 120 downloaded on my Motorola Defy. If there is something specific you want that the phone didn't come preloaded with then you will find it on Android marketplace

  • I'm going on how it's done with my Moto Defy and HTC Wildfire as they are android as well. When you in the message you want to forward touch and hold. a message options window will appear. "Forward" will be one of the options.

  • This is a phone made by Huawei,it's a good phone,although it is a little slow due to the processor only being 576mhz,and the screen is low resolution,but you get a lot of features,and I only paid $29 for it,so you can't complain. If you do buy one,make sure not to pay to much for it. Also i have no idea why the vodafone 845 has a better camera,since when have phone company's gone backwards with their new models??

  • i got this phone for christmas,i find txting on it very difficult & the battery only lasts a day? but the one thing i just cant workout is how to forward a message on to different people???

  • so which firmware would you recommend?

  • i newly bought this phone but i am not able to configure my email ac on to it pls assist me

  • Good phone for the price (basically free on the right plan in NZ), as for qidgets on home screen, just touch and hold on them and a rubbish bin should appear on screen, then simply drag to delete.

  • How do u remove widgets from ur home screen? Som1 please help :)

  • The Vodafone 858 as it stands isn't very great, once rooted and running a nice custom firmware, and mapped 4GB SD Card for storage, it give my mates Wildfire S a run for it's money :P

  • this phone is so good...price as well as system is concern....

  • this phone is really good and has the hightest rating in 2011

  • Guys, this is a great phone. For people who didn't appreciate it, you should appreciate. This phone is people's hard work, and check other Android phones, they may be good of fame performing or Camera Megapixel but it is still great, and with an excellent price.

  • Just bought this phone and am pissed off i did not read the reviews beforeI bought it. Can I have my money back please

  • Well...I'd love to be able to say it was 200 bucks well spent, but I'd be lying. It is frustratingly SLOW, you cannot set an mp3 as your text alerts - the factory ones are really useless, I bought this for a business phone and miss half of my texts because I can't hear it. The battery life is dismal. Even if you use an app killer, it doesn't last beyond 1 day. I wish I had have looked into it fully before purchasing. The touch phone texting is small and only good if you like to send texts that make no sense. One good thing about this phone, hmm. I can't think of one. Don't buy it.

  • dont buy any unit named by vodafone... vodafone dint care about mobile updates... vodafone crap

  • ive been instelled CyanogenMod7 2.3.5 its amazing!! its realy fast..

  • Hi Plz can u help me to do the same thing whith my 858 to 2.3.7 plz help me :-)

  • I am in Qatar Also, there is no official 2.3.7 upgrade. You had to use custom ROM software.

  • yes you can download real player, i had download it and VLC player also.

  • The upgrade to 2.3.7 is not automatic; you had to install a custom ROM, which is a modified version of the 2.3.7 that able to run on the Vodafone 858 hardware. If you are an expert user it will be easy for you to upgrade, but it will take some efforts to do it for the regular user. Please search for �Unofficial CyanogenMod 7.1� and download; sorry I can�t give the link according to the gsmarena regulations.

  • Yes, pls. advise on how to upgrade? was it an automatic update? I was waiting for the 2.3.7 upgrade in Qatar:)

  • Hi Plz can u help me to do the same thing whith my 858 to 2.3.7 plz help me :-)

  • I was just asking as this phone has an ARM v11 processor similar to the sony ericson Xperia mini can it install apps such as real player Beta or Player Pro ? Thank you in advance

  • Hi, how were you able to upgrade to 2.3.7 Can you give me some advice about? Thanks Francesca

  • you use the phone as a flash memory drive, just open the SD card from your computer like any flash drive, and copy the songs to the Audio folder. Note: you had to enable the USB mode on the phone first.

  • call limits will NOT stop you if you go over your limit while being on a web session.if you're downloading something & then go over your limit,the call limit will NOT cut your connection in the middle of a download,EVER!!!when you do however log out of that websession,it will lock you.it's your own fault for not checking your current balance before browsing,you used the mb so you should pay for it whether or not it was regarding a limit that was not put in place.customer's aint the boss,only idiots think that!!!

  • Hello All, I just got this phone yesterday night, so this is my first impressions on it, and I will try to write another full review after few days, This is my first Android phone; I had to use iPhone for the last 4 years and BB torch 9800 until last night, I really fed-up of the BB battery after I had a Horrible Time with this BB. Any way finally I got this small jenny �Vodafone 858 Smart�, so this is my first impressions. 1. It is really small light smart phone so if you get bored from the heavy bulky and big smart phones, you got the right decision. 2. If you are angry about the restrictions, domination and regularly feed of Apple or BB you got the right decision when getting Android phone. 3. I got the phone with customized Vodafone version of Android 2.2, but I had upgraded it to the 2.3.7 Gingerbread and it works perfect and even with better performance. 4. The battery life so far is really good, especially compared to the BB.� I will give a final evaluation after 3 or 5 days�. 5. I had downloaded many programs from the App store all of them forking fine. 6. The telephone build is nice no cracking sounds while holding it, looks nice, it came with 3 back cover with 3 colors. 7. The only thing annoying me is the keyboard, if you are a heavy �texter� and using the keyboard so much you will find it difficult for you, but It is because of the small screen. Final words, it is not a business phone like BB and it is not full of fun like iPhone, but I will rate it as 5 stars of five, it is a good entry point to the Android world, it is perfect for regular users they are looking for a very good smart phone with very good reasonable price, that will serve the fun, games, social networks, and regular use.

  • The phone is good with the price and the things that can be done but there are couple of things tat is not good . The battery is not good it cant even stand for 3 hours when using web browsing messenger or other things even with only phone standby and normal talking the battery hold only about 6 hours No call timer, data counter sms counter I install form market no area messages Difficult to see the delivery reports But with some other problem this is a good phone if battery life was good then a superb android phone for very less price

  • how do you send songs on this phone...it annoys me because anytime i want to send songs on it it doesnt work...so if u know the answer post it up..thanks

  • Planing to buy Vodafone number... Please dont....why ? ...then read this !!! Vodafone Essar India is a FRAUD. Dont ever think of buying any handset contract from Vodafone....They will fool you !!! I was a Vodafone customer since 2007 when my billing number was a prepaid number... In 2009 I got a call from DSA who work for Vodafone and offered me to get my number converted to Billing which I did....And after that I regretted like anything....they use to charge me blindly and never use to waive off the charge and 1 moth back ago I requested for 99Rs Plan for 2GB and then I also requested to decrease my credit limit to 500 and the contact center advisor who was from a DSA he did not decreaed my limit and I was in the intension that I will not going to cross my limit I was using the internet like anything and after 2 weeks I recieved a message stating that I have crossed my credit limit of 3000...I was surprised and angry...I called up Vodafone Customer Service and they said my credit limit was not decreased....and on my bill cycle date I receieved a text message that I have made a usage of Rs 7511 .....I have raised a complaint and I recieved a call from Nodal Officer Sharon D'silva and she was rude and instead of listening me she was raising her voice and then she hang up on me....In telecom industry is an integrity issue to hangup on customer....but she thought who cares....then again I send a complaint email to Vodafone and they repeating the same thing again and again that we cant reverse the invalid charge...... My question is what is the purpose of having a credit limit if you usage can go more than your credit limit... I was p#%$%^ off !!! Apart from everything if you try to call customer service they will listen to your query and they will hangup on you...there is nothing like quality....Actually its not Vodafone Essar India its actually their employee are uneducated and useless !!! Customer service agent who dont even know how to speak !!! Very soon I'll create a blog or I'll create a page on Facebook "Vodafone Essar Frauds"....please suscribe it if u were fooled in past....We are customer and we are THE BOSS !!! we should get what we are paying for !!! Anti-Vodafone customer !!! Thanks.

  • Does anyone else have this problem? Each time when I call *100#, I receive the answer on the screen, but as soon as I reply to it with a number corresponding to an option, the screen goes black and the phone enters stand by mode. I can turn on the screen again by using the volume buttons, but after 10 seconds it happens again and it really annoys me. Otherwise great phone, if you don't like the camera's quality spend money on a more sophisticated phone or do as I do : I carry a camera with me when I attend special events.

  • I connect to a wi-fi network but it still eats my credit. How do i stop this?

  • Paying more for this phone as rooted with another rom is a rip-off. You can root it yourself for FREE. You can, subject to a rom having been designed, flash it yourself. You don't even need a PC for many of today's devices. Google Clockwork Mod etc. Cyanogenmod's homepage too. I paid £60 for this from ASDA, just about the right price (was £75, not worth that....I would say £50 is probably the actual price they intend to get)

  • hey buddies ... This is the 1st Android base phone that have Radio facility................... hmmmm Gr88888

  • very good budgit phone

  • i'm now guessing this has 2 speakers in it 1 for phone & a secondary on the back for media sounds or to use on hands free, which is the one working when i activate speaker button, which means possibly the front speaker has failed, opinions anyone on my deductuction. back to vodafone warranty me thinks hmmmmmm.

  • the side button works to increase & decrease the volume, but my query is once ive dialed a number i cant hear anything untill i press the speaker button & enable the speaker??? i've checked 7 its not in silent mode ??

  • Well, I hope that I can help by this: First, Be sure that you phone is not in the silent mode ( on the main screen press on the side Volume button ( at the right upper side of your phone) press the top button, till you see the line of volume on the screen in Full RED ------------ if it does not work , try this: 1- Try to make a call ( better to call your network operator cz it will be free haha). 2- once the call in process and the other line opened, press on the side Volume button ( at the right upper side of your phone) press the top button, till you see the line of volume on the screen in Full RED. I hope this will help.

  • i have just come to use my phone this morning & found when making or recieving calls i have to switch on the speaker to hear whats going on ie ringing & the other person speaking??? i'm sure i.ve not been doing this since i got the phone a month ago. have i set something up that i shouldn't or pressed something i shouldn't have or is this how it should be ???? a little help from someone would be good.thanks.

  • Yes you can send any media (Music, Video, Picture, File) via Blue-tooth, Just follow these steps: 1- from the main screen click on the MENU icon. 2- from the menu list, click on the FILE MANAGER icon. 3- choose the location of you music (either in Mobile Memory of SD Card Memory) by selecting from the Top Options. 4- scroll down and click on the FOLDER that contain your media (e.g: Records). 5- Choose the Music file you want to send, and KEEP PRESSING ON THE MOUSE BUTTON, till you see the option for that file. 6- choose the second option (SHARE). 7- you will see a list of different share option, choose the first one (Blue-Tooth). if your device's Blue-tooth is switched off, then it will asks you to Turned on, Just click (OK). Note: for better operation, be sure that you have PAIRED both your Vodaphone Phone and the other Phone you wanna send your music to, and make it (Trust) so each time the operation will run smooth and automatic. I hope that will help

  • no

  • i can't send music with bluetooth on this phone does any one know how to?

  • do you know how to send music via Bluetooth with this device

  • Is very very best phone...I like this phone very much...and I recommand you sincerly...one small point minus... for sound with player...is not the best sound...but is satisfactory...and another one point minus...for batery when use gps and maps applications

  • i have a problem receiving photos,music etc from other devices.can someone plz help me.

  • Can you tell me how to send music via Bluetooth with this phone cause i know how to send pictures but i don't know how to send music. I think that you can't send music via Bluetooth with this phone

  • I do

  • Can you please tell me the steps and give me the link to the z4root app that you used to root the phone? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

  • gett a hacket version search for flash player armv6 in google

  • want to get this phone for chrismas but is it the right chioce

  • Sorry to break it to you,but you probably did something wrong as z4root is pretty much the sure-thing to root this phone. Hell,i did use it on mine before I migrated to a better ROM to get multi-touch and to unlock the CPU and cam

  • You can transfer photos from one 858 to another via bluetooth

  • Can anyone please please tell me how to root this phone. I tried z4root but it did not work. Anyone have any ideas?

  • Can anyone please please tell me how to root this phone. I tried rooting it with z4root but for some reason it does not work. Anyone have any ideas?

  • Excellent model with full capabilities and long lasting battery. i prefer it to my iPhone 3G i owned previously! Would dream of a revised model with slightly bigger screen!

  • got the fone for my beth dei,how do i download some music or receive some pictures from other people's fones?

  • I think that the memory is not only 130MB, It's 512 MB of ROM with 256MB RAM.The internal phone storage is 150MB subtracted from the ROM

  • Where do you get it for �39.99. Can only find it for �59.99

  • I saw on galaxy2 that it works and u can choose the camera u want ,front or back.And I think that doesnt matter the phone but the OS and skype software

  • seems to me normal ,because you greeks years and years lived on credit and now you must give the money back.

  • does this phone suport 2.3 gingerbread ?

  • does this smartphone suport 2.3.3 gingerbread ???

  • battery life will run away quick if your'e on it relentless. most of the apps are web based and continually run in the back ground, you can find apps to control & switch down those that your not using, but then theres no point going for a smart phone capable of internet e-mail and all the tech stuff if you have to have it all shut down to save battery life, i would say gaming will eat battery life too.

  • Had this phone a week now. A little confusing to start with as these are a little unconventional to use, but i love this little thing now i've got used to it, works great. Have downloaded a couple of APPs which work fine and installed perfectly. Had to upgrade at vodafone as a lot of the web based stuff costs money, and off your pay as you go it will eat your balance, But an upgrade to £10.00 a month has sorted that. Paid £99.00 i know that was on the expensive side usually £75.00 But for this the vodafone stuff had been removed & some Android stuff put on to replace it & it has been fully rooted (not that i have a clue what that is) but every one seems to be talking about them being rooted. Great affordable & great fun. battery life might suffer if you wanna game for hours, but seeings i'm at work most of the time i don't have time for a lot of that, e-mails from home directly, amazing. But remember youv'e not paid £400 for an iphone so dont expect one. But a great entry level smartphone to get togrips with as a starter.

  • I got the phone today, and I totally love it! It's perfect if you cant afford the iPhone, its pretty much the same idea. It's a brilliant phone! :)

  • I am looking to buy this phone for my birthday and I am wondering if this would be a good phone for me I am 13 and I love texting and talking to my friends I like the look of this phone!!! but what do you think??

  • internal spas is low should some high .......

  • awesome

  • voda is the best,,,,,,,,,

  • I used Z4Root from here - Download using phone browser. Install and Root phone. Worked fine on my Vodafone 858/Huawei 8160

  • Excellent phone that fits in shirt pocket and looks expensive. Great features but battery life is not great. Unfortunately because it is so neat, keyboard is a bit small but after a few hours using it it it is not a problem. Superb value Android

  • CHEAP only £70

  • Stand in fromt of a mirror , thats what i do :D

  • I've had this phone for a few days and for it's price,it's a good phone. It comes preloaded with Android 2.2.1 froyo and it is kinda slow for processor speed. I tried angry birds and I got probably 7 fps. Also, I'm looking to root it so can anyone give me advice?

  • How do I unlock this phone, cos I'm currently having problems using it bcos it is prompting me for an unlock code.

  • Got it from Vodafone Romania, for EUR 99. Nice little phone, but full of Vodafone crap. I rooted it and then replaced the stock ROM with a vanilla one - it's much better now. It has problems running games & live wallpapers, but this is because its specs are low. Otherwise it's fast.

  • In Romania the price is 9 Euro with 2 years contract by vodafone , the price without contract is 99 Euro.

  • I have unlocked it, changed the ROM and added the 3skype apk. It's working well. You will not get technical support from 3 so you're on your own there. Switching off syncing has improved the battery life greatly.

  • I am supriced. you can use network 3, if they dont have that phone in sale,usually they cant provide you with the acces point settings. specially,when its vodafon brand.

  • It`s a rather good smartphone, but in Greece the price is....pricey! 130 euros. As is the IMF is not enough they try to empty our pockets using more...sophisticated ways!

  • yes it z smart bt i dnt lyk it.....

  • Cool phone, dont work for me :)

  • Skype on Android doesn't work with front cam.

  • I doesn't support flash and neither does it have a swype keyboard, only CooTek input and stock keyboard. To root use z4root. To remove bloatware use Root App Uninstaller or Bloatfreezer.

  • The price is from �39 in Ireland

  • Whether availble in India,If yes-What is the price?

  • If anyone wants to know the price in ireland {dublin} is 60.00 EURO ;]

  • is it support adobe flash player or flash lite?thx.

  • Can you use a vodafone pay monthly sim in this phone?

  • best phone reported to specs, design, price(105�-Romania) and ofcourse it has Android, just what everybody whants

  • You can have skype, as an app, but since there is no forward camera, you will have to keep on flipping the phone over to see the other person, but you can use voice with no problems.

  • This is a great phone for the money. At �60 pay as you go in Ireland it's really a no brainer. Feels quite speedy and is easy to use. I have unlocked and debranded it to work on the 3 network. I also have the 3skype app running which saves me a lot of money. Couldn't be happier with this fantastic little phone.

  • yes

  • Yes you can download skype on it

  • the screens that are smaller than 3.0 inches are to bad for android

  • yes offcourse...

  • is it posible to have skype on it? kind regards!

  • Purchased this for �59.99 on pay as you go last week just after it went on sale. I've been torturing it ever since. This is a superb phone, fast, slick, bug-free. Just does everything you expect a Froyo phone to do, with the exception of multi-touch. It's a rebadged Huawei 8160 and if I was Samsung I wouldn't be sleeping at night. The Chinese are going to eat their lunch, chopsticks and all! And before anyone claims it will break in a month, it comes with a two-year warranty from Vodafone! What other phone manufacturer gives a two-year warranty?

  • @Darshan it costs £59.99 on pay and go!

  • what is the price of this vodafone mobile

  • price is 60 euro in ireland

  • On vodafone's PT site there are two resolutions listed. Main text says 240x400, specs sheet says 240x320.

  • what is that ,,it is much same like the vodafone 845 ,,same size of touch screen ,,but that just capacitive ,and the camera worse ,845 have 3 mp camera and auto focus,,,and that phone working by Android 2.2 (froyo) which we all know that this version has a lot of problems ,,and leak very much ,, i really see vodafone 945 better than this phone ,,it is just look nice

  • in vodafone portugal website said that the resolution is 240x400. Is that true?

  • In Portugal costs 99,90�

  • what is the cost vodafone 858 mobile plese update

  • What's the price in Egypt ?

  • plz given cost of handset its very smart mobile & stylys , latest function .........

  • wats the cost

  • I hope the Smart really costs about � 90,00. After the Ideos could be the Smart a great success for Vodafone. .

  • Vodafone, why not go to Indonesia,?

  • A cheap phone does not have to be basic. Good one Vodafone.

  • Great phone when below 7k

  • To be fair, this thing is gonna cost about £70... So I'm not sure what everyone posting "worst android handset ever!" are expecting.. Dual-core, 4.3", qHD beast? Ideal cheap entry level android handset for those on a tight budget looking at pay as you go.

  • Yes 2.2 Froyo can run on a phone with a 528mhz processor. Before I got my Motorola Defy,I had a Wildfire. Which I upgraded to 2.2, understand or should I type slower?

  • This is just the Motorola A3100 from 2009 rebooted.

  • What makes it so bad? Seems pretty OK to me?

  • What do you mean hm 528 mhz on 2.2 , you can see that even with 528 mhz cpu you can have 2.1 android which is more heavily on CPU and it works just fine. If you want to know which are those devices look at : vodafone 845 and 945, huawei U8220,U8230,U8100,U8110,U8150 IDEOS . So i guess you don't know what you are talking about.

  • It's dirt cheap (€90 without contract), what more can you expect?

  • A true disgrace for androids of all kinds...

  • great specs.hope speed will not be the question.

  • Worst Android phone ever.

  • hmm, 2.2 on a 528 MHz...

  • mmmm. this has Wildfire written all over it. Specs are similar, and it looks similar

  • Android phones prices will gradually start droping. Nice one.

  • amazing specs..!!
