XCute DV2 - User Reviews

  • I read that wrong LOL

  • I think that this phone would be perfect for recording someone without them knowing, so I would love to purchase one although I do not know where I could get one.

  • I've had one of these before, amazing phone, camera and everything!! Where can i buy one now?

  • prize

  • should manufactured bluetooth in built

  • i have had this phone a few different times and the camera quality is great as well as the video recordings settings one of the best styles the way it swivels awesome they need to make more phones like these similar to the nokia n93 and perfect screen size while the speakerphone was low and dosent have a lot of great features like blue tooth or wifi it does have a tv out which lots of phone dont have and its an eye catcher for sure any more questions ill be happy to help anyone just let me know thanks

  • If you work there, doesn't mean you know anything. As an example: At lots of phone provider customer service numbers, they know nothing at all and the way it looks like, you can't even form one decent sentence.

  • Hi Lino. I don't know if you'll ever read this message but I have to try. 2 years ago you posted that you lost this phone but still have all the accesosories. iam in the opposite situation. i have this phone but no accesories : (. if you ever read this message and still have the charger please email me at [email protected] thanks and may the force be with you sarah

  • i like this cell phone but in our country i wont be able to get

  • I bought one of these in spring 2006, at 1st I loved it, everyone loved it and wanted one, the camera was great, but half the stuff on itdoes not work, such as the internet, cos it is set to be in Asia, the camera after a while started acting up, the menu started delaying, problems with texting etc. In future I'll just stick to Western brand phones

  • its a phone with a camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n its a pile of ****! lololol i work for carphone warehouse.. i know my stuff noob

  • hi....i have this phone..but without all the accessories.. jux drop by and saw ur comment.. had been finding this phone accessories for long time..

  • Had it since January 2007 and am happy with it. At the time it was by far the best camera-with-a-mobile-phone (because that's what it really is, NOT a phone with a camera) on the market. Of course, more expensive models by Western producers have surpassed it today, but it is still a reliable nice little camera/phone. Kudos to Taiwanese producer.

  • that's my phone man

  • your equation is wrong because N93 was launched on april 2006 and N93i was launched on january 2007 please check the details before making your equation.

  • I have the black just love it had it now for a year you couldent get me to change if ya try'd

  • i have a word equation for this, 6Co2 +6H2o - C6H1206 + 02 where as for this phone design + infringement - XCute DC2 + N93 (copied design) crap

  • The unit's camera is good. But as a phone this unit is a bit difficult to use. It's too slow especially when you are texting. It would take seconds before the next letter pops up. The keypad is not responsive. In addition, the design is not good. Although its interface is user-friendly, I would probably give this unit a 6 out of 10 rating. Besides, it doesn't even a bluetooth. I mean what's up with that. A phone without bluetooth these days are so primitive...

  • wa gwan cool foooone

  • I love d baby on d phone,

  • this baby on screen is so cute but phone..............

  • who buys these uknown phones

  • this is phone or handycam? :confused:

  • The best phone ever!!!!

  • i have my xcute dv2 for almost 6 months now its good but i couldnt use it anymore bcoz it hanged,i lost the manuals, including its cd, and software,anyone hu can send a copy of its software on my [email protected] or [email protected] luking for lino,d one who posted dat he lost his dv2 but still has his software...wud u mind sendin me a copy or email me a copy of its software..please..i will appreciate it a lot.tnx much!!and Godbless us all...hope to hear from all of u(anyone who could help me) soon...

  • one simple word : UGLY!!!

  • wat is all this interpolated crap. the camera jus adds in random pixels to make it a higher res. Apart from the display, N95 canes.

  • I used to have this phone but I lost it! Nevertheless, I still have all accessories: Manual (in chinese), software CD, THREE SPARE BATTERIES, carrying case, A/V cable, USB cable, in-wall charger, desktop charger for batteries, as well as the original boxes for both the phone and its accessories. Everything is useless for me now, since I don't have the phone anymore. If anyone who has the phone is interested, please email me and we can sort out a deal. By the way, I had this phone for one year. My feelings about it are mixed: good phone in general but it sometimes froze and the down key had developed an intermitent behavior... Cheers!

  • that camera looks like an eye haunting you, every night. tell me, it looks disgusting!!!

  • Erm was the camera an after though it really looks awkward suck there. I really dont like these swivel phones they always break or work loose.

  • Pity it doesn't have neither Bluetooth nor Infra-red support.

  • its a nice design but why dont have bluetooth, and memory card and limited video.

  • very ugly design!!!

  • To wong: someone actually has this phone lol!!!!!!!!!!

  • I've tried to use Kingston MiniSD 2GB and SanDisk MiniSD 2GB card on my XcuteDV2, which bought in Dec 2005. It failed, can't take video, but camera work function. Any idea why can't take video? Thanks.

  • Such a cute phone, NOT! Looks more like a mini sniper gun/taser, hope it comes with extra clips of ammunition, LMFAO!

  • Be slow with the alcool please Mr designer of Xcute

  • If you purchase this phone don't expect any tech support from the manufacturer. I have had this phone for over a year. I e-mailed the manufacturer eight times trying to get a replacement battery over a period of 5 months. I never recieved a reply. Not even an auto one. No battery supplier that I have contacted can find the battery either. It takes good pics, but if you ever need a replacement part to get it fixed, forget it.

  • I love this phone it has the look that draws attention. The camera picture quality is absolutely amazing! The mp3 player plays music good also. I bought my phone from www.buyawireless.com. I saw that Buyawireless.com had several other phones that looked like the Xcute but they were Nokia, and Samsung phones.

  • i want 2 buy this fone by this weekend and want to know if it is good or not, someone should advise me pls

  • Stu i feel you man. About Calender for the cycle thingi all you need is a paper and a pen cause i can't feel imagining someone else coming up with a calender for you GF. I hope you take it as funny.

  • hey dunno bout u guys, but i sure as hell need a menstration cycle calander... to know when to avoid the gf. look, lets favce it, how many times have u been at parties and other things and wanted a camera but at the same time dun want it cos u have to carry it all nite... my old phone had a chitty camera and it really shat me

  • This fone was great! but only for a year and a half....now it doesnt doesnt play music and the headphones dont work. it's all software related....resetting it to factory doesnt do anything and i've yet to hear from xcute about this...

  • Ummm, wats the max gb this phone can handle for mini sd??

  • this phone is the dogs!!!! anyone who says it aint is chatting bull, coz people say about the bluetooth but you wont be able to send decent photos anyway coz your 6mp cam wont be as good quality on a 3.2mp cam let alone the 2 mp which majority of phones have

  • Very Good Mobile for the price of just Lm120 including two batteries and pc cable and may video formats and tv out.

  • Omg... Ugly looks, no 3G, EDGE, not even irda or bluetooth... camera is simly 3mpx, just stretched to 6mpx which makes it crap, huge size... Only good display and filming quality... Result - piece of crap... Like all Xcute phones, what an unsuccesful brand...

  • its over the best phone off the world you have invented the most off tecnical with an originally design exellent!! no bleutooth ? why

  • i think it looks a bit bulky but it looks hot!

  • does anyone know the menu choices (by number) to get the phone from chinese to english, please ? thank you ben

  • The design was so bulky and dont have any bluetooth

  • this phone is the worst phone i have ever purchased in my life. . yes picture quality is good but everything else sux i would never recommend this phone to anyone. . whoever created this phone should be fired and ashamed of thereselves. nothing but tech issues and hardly any features.

  • interpolated - basically, the camera guesses what goes in-between each pixel to make the pixel count up to 6 million. it can sometimes improve a picture depending on the quality of the software... Some digital SLR cameras up to the �3,000 mark use Interpolation...

  • its more like a Handy Cam..... Imran

  • what does "interpolated" means??..you can take shot at 3mp..but you can interpolate to 6mpx ?????wtf ????pls post

  • What's with the debate? It is not a true 6 Megapixel camera, it says so on the specs, read carefully and look up the definition for "interpolate" if needed. To get the 6mp picture go into camera mode (using the little button on the right side) then press the OK button (far most top left) and you'll see a drop list. Use the arrow button to navigate up or down, you'll see several picture quality options. Configuring the WAP/GPRS settings has been my headache. XCUTE designers allowed only 14 spaces to enter a username when I need 20 spaces. The damn idiots. This site should add a "user friendly" poll to the voting. For this XCUTE I give it a 2 for user friendly, but a 9 on the other three polls :)

  • "As a bonus, the Xcute DV2 also features an External Mirror, BMI Calculator and Menstrual Cycle Calendar." Not a guy's phone then.

  • it looks soooo weird!!!! why would anyone want it?

  • the phone looks sexy, i bought it back in june 06, was impressed and unimpressed, battery power is useless, 4 along journey u can't listen 2 tunes 4 several hrs on end, it doesnt play any movies i transfered 2 it from the computer. the headphones for it aren'tvery stable plus the net browser i can't get to work, the memory is bad until i bought a 2giga SD card for it, after u put abit in2 it it is an OK phone, i would say more of a fashion object!

  • I'm really very disappionted with this phone. It lacks Bluetooth, Infrared. No web browser. Even the camera is a little complicated. Takes good pictures, but you have to be in the right mode for it to take good pictures. The VIDEO quality is second to none. But once again, it has to be in the right mode so that it wouldn't have any picture noise. Also, the plastic is very cheap, a little better than the DV1, but still it feels very plasticy... Mp3 quality is so, so... but I do like the fact that there is no limit on the size of mp3 ringtones... Overall, its a good phone, but could have been better!

  • I don't get the Screen Resolution: It LOOKS like a 3:4 screen, but it SAYS 640 x 240px. Now, a regular 3:4 screen would be 320 x 240, but this one is double the "width" than its height. Is this a mistake??? Or are the pixels rectangular instead of square??? Harlekkin

  • it may look really sweet guys, but this fone sux. look at the battery life! that wouldnt evem last half a day under normal use! and no bluetooth or infrared? its not even 3G com Xcute get up ya act

  • So This phone is really cool and i think i`ll buy one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!could you tell me the price?

  • omgg this is a madd cool phone! guys...whre can i get phones like thiss? and samsung and Lg...man i live in n.y. and i hav never seen such hotttt phones in my life!

  • man, i work at optus, and hope my stupid manager order someting like this.

  • this phone is very very very hotttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

  • yeah grundig has the same phone

  • im appaled at how awful this phone is i have had this mobile for 2 months now and im fed up with it ive had extremly bad technecal problems and where ever you buy them from you cannot get a refund im just not happy with it one bit

  • what the...this phone looks more complicated than a rubiks cube!

  • Grundig have also made a fone that looks exactly like this! www.grundigmobile.com

  • it has got a lot of technical problems. i am fed up of using this fone for the last 3 months

  • Hot sexy & coolest mobile in this time

  • I have this phone. Picture quality is deffinitely in a class of its own when compared to others. But i'm even more impressed with the video quality. What i dont like is that so far i have not managed to install Mini Opera on it and i know that there is a newer firmware out but i'm unable to find it.

  • i can help you to get an xcute..but not this one! you'll find the other xcute dv2 ,a clamshell one! see here:http://www.wapzon.com/web/prodetail.asp?Pid­=6669 good luck!

  • No this phone actually has a 3 megapixel camara, not 6 megapixel. The specs say that. It is interpolated to 6 megapixels, meaning that it uses a math formula to produce resolution that may be theoretically comparible to a 6 megapixel phone. A phone taking pictures with 4 to 5 megapixels would probably give better images. Still not a bad phone spec wise

  • I have few q's about the phone.. 1) Can the games be downloaded?if it can..up to how many games?or depends on ur memory card? 2) What is TV out? 3) For the mp3 player, how is the sound? 4) Is it hard to use this phone?

  • this phone is actauly 6mp not 3

  • What an awful phone. The user interface is by far the most complex I have ever encountered. There was a rumour that these were going to be the company phones for NASA. Sounds true because you need to be an astronaut or rocket scientist to figure these phones out!

  • thisis amazing!!

  • I have been using this phone for 2mths. The cam & video is EXCELLENT!! DVD quality really. But as a phone, its standard taiwan phone.. but its function is as close as nokia which includes: User profile, note, to-do, photo ID calling, etc, mp3 also decent.. Avail in M'sia, HK, taiwan frm asia..

  • this is a best ever phone.

  • Actually it was originally designed as a camera/mp3 player, the phone was an addition so i wouldnt expect alot when it comes to the phones features etc..

  • i havent tryed out this phone.. and prolly wont.. it looks very um... unique? i only said that cos im not allowed 2 swear.. ok yes its good 4 cam and stuff but noone has said anything about the phone its self ? thats what its mainly for isnt it ? someone wanna explain ?

  • in which world this phones r been operated never heard of this

  • if you have money to buy this, you will have certainly money to buy a memory card :)

  • why, in the name of god would you put a 3mp or 6mp camera on a phone? it's big, ugly and doesn't compare with a digital camera... i mean, who takes group pictures or landscapes with a mobile phone? it's laughable to see sombody doing this...

  • this phone looks great, has great multimedia functions. abit to good. manufactorer of this phone is a total idiot! how can they implement 3MP camera (i wount even talk about video!) and then put in the phone only 18MB of memmory!!!!!? the memmory will be full afther you thake only 10 photos!!! shure you can buy memmory card but thats not the point! for a phone with vga video (with 30F/sec) and a 3MP camera i demand a hard drive like in N91(4GB) or at least 512 mmc. you just cant put in a phone the best camera there is and then provide it with practicly the smallest amaunt of memmory you can get today in a phone!!! i rather have a phone with 1,3MP camera and with half of GB memmory space. this phone is just for shoving off and that sucks! thats my opinion. cya

  • There is no phone like DV2 about vedio recording.Its the best, in spite of the fact that no bluetooth& no IR. I think USB & Reader are enough. about the battery life, you can charge it every 2 days without problem.

  • Where do you live? For Germany: www.vesat.de

  • Quote, Frank: "The video recording is the best feature of the phone". Yes Frank, i'm sure the VGA video camera works wonders!!

  • its really tyte..i had this phone for 2 weeks.but i was confused when it didn't have no infrared port n no bluetooth..thats not tyte

  • 16,7 Mio. Colors = 16.700.000 at 640x240-Display Resolution.

  • 16M is 16 Million Colours.

  • 16M colors. what is 16 m?

  • i have this phone for 1 month now. The phone is great! the camera is the best in the market I would say.. Its 6.0 MP but it has resolution of 3.0 MP which is confusing.. but after all do you really need to take 6.0 MP pics (it takes like 4 mbs). The video recording is the best feature of the phone. Its like a digicam and can record videos in AVI format, no convertion needed when playing it on the computer. For the people that say wtf about bluetooth. You dont need it unless you want to send a 4 mb pic which would take you around 30 mins trying to send it to your pc, the data cable or card reader will work better. The playback function for videos is AMAZING... i just put a movie that I got from a DVD to my phone and its amazing (6 million of pixels screen makes it possible). Great phone for multimedia features, the best actually. By the way im selling mine... i need to get back my smartphone lol...

  • It's a 3MP Cam. You can turn your photos up to 6MP using "Interpolation". The photos are very good at 3MP!

  • can someone please explain to me what the camera is it says its a 3mp but whats the 6mp about and how do you get it to 6

  • I have this phone. I bought it last september from Wapzon.com. I decided to get this instead of the SAmsung D600. Big mistake. I now bought the D600 and I am much happier with it. 1. There is no lense protection, so you spend a lot of money for the camera, but cant protect it. 2. The other functions were difficult to use, for instance the MP3 player. 3. The speaker is poor quality. 4. Battery life is TERRIBLE. have to charge it over night no matter what even if you dont use special functions. 5. outer screen is worthless. mine stopped working properly after a few weeks. 6. No T9 so text messaging is tedious and difficult There are a few good things about the phone. 1. Mini SD holds large abounts of information, better than samsung Micro SD 2. Camera/ picture quality and video capture was excellent. I would not recommend the phone. It is a bit gimicky. Xcute has the right idea and they did a good job of cramming a lot of functions into one phone, however the overall quality of the phone is not too impressive. Hopefully in the newer models they will pay more attention to details.

  • False It is an 3MP Cam extended to 6 I got it, so if someone has any questions you can ask me

  • its 6mp, not 3

  • Nice. I want one. Where is this phone available. Ebay here I come.

  • no bluetooth!? wtf!!!??? i just dont understand these people or maybe the engineers just forgot about it.

  • this is an video camera with an extra mobile phone feature

  • good phonw ith great feaure, but who mad this phone? japan or china or whta?

  • This is camera built in mobile phone.

  • does it have a good vibrator?

  • using one, tremendous camera capability and video recording is superb, its more like digi cam with built in mobile phone...no prob without bluetooth as card reader is easier and faster...downside:tiny makes you feel that its vulnerable...

  • more like of a video cam than a mobile device. Though the looks is good.
