Bosch 509e Reviews

I have owned a Bosch 509e (on Orange Pay as You Go) for about three years now. It's definitely a bit large compared with the latest tiny toy-like phones, but I have big fingers and it has big buttons, so I'm not complaining. (Perhaps it's unkind to call it a brick: it's more like a half-brick.) The design is a bit old ...

Despite recently upgrading my pay-as-you-go account with Orange, I still own and also have a soft-spot for my Bosch 509e phone. Featuring an attractive clear orange plastic finish (also available in coconut too), the phone is an absolute doddle to use. The menu system may be old, and the screen may be only a couple of lines deep, but this ...

Looks better than it operforms - Advantages: Looks Good - Disadvantages: Poor Battery, Large compared to most new phones

This phone is fantastic for a novice user! It's just SO simple to use! It's menus are very basic, and it's handling could not get any better! It's quick and efficient! One problem, it's large, and bulky! As I said, it's more like a brick than a phone. It's also quite heavy. Unless you have bag to carry around ...

I brought a Bosh 509e in December 1999, on the Orange network. It was my first mobile, I use my mobile for about 5 mins a day. I think that this phone is very good for a first-time buyer who want's to make good-quality voice calls. Despite dropping the phone many times, I had no problems with it apart from the battery tended to move a bit. The ...

I have had this phone for just under a year now and i have not had any problems. Apart from the fact i can only get reception in one part of my house, but that is nothing to do with the handset. Well firstly this phone is not the most hightec, but you can still txt ppl with no problems and phone ppl with no problems. The bassic ...

I was "lucky" enough to grab one of the first samples of these that we received at Orange and tested it out for a few weeks, for obvious reasons it really grabs your attention at first glance but once you actually get used to the novelty of the colour (I had the translucent Orange) it starts to get a bit embarrassing and I found myself ...

This was the first mobile phone I ever bought, and I picked it up for a measly £35 (do shop around!) The phone is great for it's price and excellent for it's navigation through menu. It is easy to set up and use even for beginners. I have found the battery life to be less than great, but it charges fairly quickly so it ...

I have owned a Bosche 509e for about 12 months and whilst it is very useful and easy it use it has the following flaws in my opinion. Whilst there are many good ring tones to choose from it is very quiet and you would not hear it in a crowded place. You cannot download ring tones from the net which is a bit of a pain unlike most Nokia ...

This mobile, designed with youths in mind, is cheap and transparent - you can see right through it! I used one of these phones for about 6 months before replacing it. They are now available in shops for around £29.99, and work with the Orange pay as you go network. These phones are particularly popular with children and young ...

A fantastic value phone, but you may get a bit bored of it. It comes with orange just talk in orange and coconut - basically clear! You get bored of it because you can't make up your own ring tones, can't change the cover. You can't put something saying Bud, Coco-Cola, etc. instead of saying orange. Best off for children as its cheap, ...

The Bosch 509e is brightly coloured and is obviously aimed at the teenage generation. It is trendy and light. Compared to other phones I do think that it is rather wide. However it fits in your pocket quite easily. The one thing that is excellent about this phone is the price. I paid £70 6 months ago and it was half the price of the equvilent ...

I had a Bosch 509e mobile phone given to me for Christmas last year. It is a great phone and I have been very pleased with it. Its features are:- Lightweight 3 hour talk time 1 ½ hour charge time Calculator use Answer phone Text & Email facility Approx 30 ringing tones Variable volume It is a ...

This phone is very cheap at the moment and is ideal in comparison to the Nokia phones etc, so long as you do not want an internet phone. Although slightly difficult to master at first the menu and so forth is easy to use and has buttons which can speed up the time you spend using it, for example dialling. The phone book has 100 entries to fill and ...

I received this phone as a Christmas present last year and I have been very pleased with it. It is practical as well as being good value for money. The screen is of an average size compared to other phones. It has quite a long battery life of 4 days standby and 3 hours talktime. It only takes about an hour and a bit to charge and so is ...

For many years I had a vodafone pay as u go mobile phone where for each voucher purchased so much went on service and the rest is available for calls and it came to the point where I was running out of service credit so I decided to take the plunge and change not only phone networks but mobile phone as well. The phone I decided on was the BOSCH ...

THis phone is the first one I have had whereby you pay for your talk time and nothing else and the phone, combined with this method of payment has sent me over the moon. As a light user of my mobile, I always resented paying a line rental when the phone was almost never in use. Until along came the pay cards and my problems were solved ...

i have had this phone for about half a year now. i've found it to be quite good as it has a extemely good design. It is practical aswell as being value for money. I have one with an orange case which lights up when someone calls me. The screen is of an average size compared to other phones such as some of the ericsson and the motorola ones. It ...

Just a word of warning. I bought my Bosch mobile in February on line and registered it on Orange pay as you go. 2 weeks later it developed an interesting fault. The earpiece died so I could be heard but could not hear my callers. Retailer and Orange said I had to contact Bosch, Bosch took 3 weeks to fix the phone and get it back to ...

The Bosch 509e is the first mobile I bought, so I thought I'd give you a guide on the little baby... First of all, you have two choices in design. You can get the phone in "Coconut" or "Tangerine" colours, both being translucent and rather appealing. The phone is well built, and fairly solid, although it is a bit ...
