Advantages: Its a WAP phone
Disadvantages: But you can't connect
I've had my phone for several months now and I must say that I'm disappointed in it performance. I did get it on the £50 cash back deal which really attracted me to making the purchase. In general use the phone is OK, however there are many areas when it fails. Occasionally when trying to make calls you get cut off for no apparent reason, also, connecting to the WAP services is a hit and miss affair. Having said that, you do get 200 min of free calls a month (including internet calls, normally 10p a min) at the weekend which is the saving grace for me. The WAP access is a bit of a gimmick, I use it for accessing my genie mail, you can also check online orders with Streets Online. Would I recommend this phone to a friend, well YES and NO. YES - Its a cheap way of jumping on board the WAP wagon (via the Pay As You Go scheme). NO - I've had far too many problems with the phone. UPDATE If you are attracted by the lure of a cheap WAP phone then stay away from this one. Yes, its a WAP phone, yes, you get a min of 200 free WAP minutes a month, but I have been unable to connect to the internet with my phone for over a month now. I can only imagine that so many people have brought one of these that the network is completely overloaded. Also I've noticed that if you fail to connect you are still charged 10p for the pleasure, what a rip off. Stay away at all costs.

- 21/11/00 Also had a Trium Geo, but on the No limits Pay as you Go
Vouchers, which have no expiry. First phone i had gave
me real headaches due to it not allowing me to top up with
new Vouchers (would not accept the code). Sent it back to
Mitsubishi and got a replacement. Still wasn't happy due
to being disconnected at random, and poor WAP service also.
Now back on my Nokia nk402 which cannot be beaten !!!!! |
