Vodafone 527 Black

The funky 527 Rainbow comes in five vibrant colours - yellow, turquoise, pink, violet and white. But the real surprise comes when you discover how much is packed into its tiny frame.

Save your money

You get what you pay for with this phone. It's reasonably well built, although the charger point cover is somewhat flimsy, and small enough for the pocket. Screen resolution is terrible and poorly defined; no point in having internet connection if you can't read the banners! It's slow and the battery life is poor, it only lasts a short time even without much use. Overall I would say do yourself a favour and spend your money elsewhere

It's ok for the money you're spending
Date: January 3, 2010
It doesn't do anything flashy whatsoever, but for the price what would you expect? It works fine as a phone. I find the texting a little bit annoying, the keys are fine but it's all generally slow when you're on inbox and you can't go through the messages that easily. Battery life isn't so good, it turns off fairly quickly after it's warned you it's low. It's a fair phone for the price, but don't expect much because you won't get it.

Great little phone! x
Date: December 28, 2009
I think that this phone is great! it is so easy to use and it has a great range of colours to suit all. I think this phone is an ideal size and it is a great price!
It has a few features such as FM Radio, a camera and bluetooth. The camera could do with flash as the pictures i have taken are quite dark. Also it can only store arround two songs on it without a micro SD card. :( x
I think if you just want a basic yet stylish phone, its great!

Does what it should - I think!
Date: December 17, 2009
Would be better if i was able to get hold of a user manual as i am a technophobe. I don't want a phone to do everything including make a cup of tea, but it would be nice if i was able to read what the phone is capable of. The set up instructions only go so far.

WORST PHONE EVER WASTE OF MONEY
Date: October 24, 2009
Not worth a fiver; let alone 30 quid!
Buy if you want to be dissapointed!
a young child would probably like it tho; very easy to use.
memory is rubbish. 2 songs and 4 pix.
only hold 1gb memory card.
complete waste of money.

not good
Date: October 16, 2009
I have just purchased this phone but i have found that it is not a 3g phone. i need a 3g phone for my 3 sim. that sim would have given me free internet access for 90 days. i am so annoyed. overall the phone is too slow and i am saving up for another phone. i would not reccomend it to anyone else in my opinion. but it looks funky and you can get it in really fashionable colours....i have got the pink 1.
so have fun and buy the phone if you wish to although i hate it and want another phone...a better one....as a really cool kid i would reccomend the black berry it is a really cool phone =]
