Philips 655 Mobile Phone Review

Philips 655 Details

Denise Does anyone know how to transfer the phone's pictures into the computer? Help please. Thank you.

tonypanduru i got my phone back from the service and a few things are a litle bit strange about it
they changed my internal display and now the colors are more vivid the external display now light up in white instead of blue and remains light up when the phone is opened the theme is now blue instead of green and the picture quality has increased

Ade Thanks, Soylera.

Leo Like other Philips phones, this one has a very attractive design. There are not some functions, such as Buletooth. However, the price is acceptable. What a pitty ... it is not sold in Vietnam yet! T_T

Peanut for szfagier : yes, it's possible to put the phone in silent mode
(long press on the [6] touch by default)

Christiane I can not download my pictures from the phone to my pc although i have an original philips data cable specially for this phone philips 655 i can perfectlly sent pictures tones or something else from my pc to my phone but not the other way :( i need help!!!

Sharath This phone looks very good. Have to wait and see the performance. An FM Radio would have mode this more interesting. Somehow I always feel that Philips (or is it all the manufacturers ?? ) does not come up with a phone with everything. The buyer always has to make a compromise.

mxw The worst phone I ever had (I was using Nokias and SE before). Maybe it looks nice - that is why I bought it - but the software is VERY stupid... :-((

For example:
- phonebook entries are sorted in a different way for UPPER and LOWER case letters;
- that is why you cannot search entries in phonebook;
- SMS are sorted in completely unknown way - looking like "sorting by contents" :-))))))))
- the phone is extreamly slow (f.ex. you have to push arrow down two or three times to move the cursor one line down - on nearly any list);
- the "red button" (on-hook) not always works;
- when editing SMS-to-send, when you leave the phone for a moment, the phone goes for a screensaver, and the message is lost;
- you cannot use national-letters in SMS or phonebook entries;
- when you turn the phone on it plays extreamly LOUD some disco-music, which cannot be silenced nor turned off - what makes it difficult to turn the phone in a discrete way (e.g. at work or at hospital);
- difficult menu - sometimes you have to dig six or more levels down to get some simple function (e.g. outgoing calls counter);
- when you put an alarm (buzer) into a sleep mode (7 min.) there are no way to turn it off (you have to wait this 7 min. and press "OK" twice - if you press any other key, you have to wait another 7 min. for next try)
- etc. etc.

Generally: looking nice, but poor software engineering. Let's hope Philips will employ better specialists soon and a firmware update will solve all problems...

ykbj Can anybody tell me how to set photos for caller id function? (I want to set photos to show up when somebody called.) I only have Chinese manual...

p900 owner to shareth,you are spot on, its always you found what you want but it lacks a feature,so you choose another fone and then it doesnt have another feature.bah humbug since its near xmas
