I wanted a phone that i can call and text on, with no gagets and techie stuff.
I got it free, and It is stylish and dead easy to use, even for me, and i'm technophobic!
I haven't even looked at the user guide.
For £30 I would say it's great, and it does what it says on the tin with no frills.

I HAVE HAD MY PHONE FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW AND NO PROBLEMS WITH BUILD QUALITY IT IS A WELL MADE LITTLE PHONE AND I AM HAPPY WITH IT. THE RINGER VOLUME IS NOT THAT LOUD AND THE CAMERA IS NOT THAT GOOD BUT WHAT CAN EXPECT FOR THE PRICE. OTHER THAN THAT ALL IS GOOD.

Nice Phone
Date: January 24, 2010
Have only had this phone for several days and all ok so far.
Large screen for a small phone, nice and clear. However the buttons are a little hard to use, due to size, but seperated as they are on a flat pad, they are easier and more comfortable than other cheap phones I looked at buying.
Good value for a phone which is cheap and cheerful !

yes it's a brick
Date: December 31, 2009
Keeps rejecting micro SD card and and only allows to phone internal memory. No USB cables anywhere (Everone says try SAGEN but no luck so far) Mini guide 36 pages is useless. As a phone only it's just about ok but i'm beginning to hope it gets pinched/falls in a drain /gets left on a bus and I'll have to get something else.
If you haven't bought one -Don't and congratulations!

Whitout the full user manual (which according to the reviews, some have but most dont) this phone is nothing more than a house brick.

Well i bought this phone literally today and was very pleased with it. Im not sure why the person above said there wasn't a user manual as I had an 88 page (all in English) manual as well as the quick guide.
The phone is very good. The design is superb for a phone of this price. My friends were all shocked at the price when I told them how much it was.
The messaging is very simple to use, as is the phonebook, camera and its features. It even has instant messaging - something this price range would not see in years, but here it is.
All in all its a very sleek, modern, CHEAP phone and recommend to anyone and everyone :)

Good Value For Money
Date: October 23, 2009
I received my VF533 promptly by courier. The phone has a lot of useful features that you'd normally generally only find on higher priced mobiles. MP3, WAP, memory card slot, camera, video, radio, converter etc. The only downsides to it are that sometimes the button responses are slightly slow when dialling or texting and I also expected the screen resolution to be a little bit better than it is. But overall this phone is well worth the money spent and I'm very satisfied with my purchase. It comes in a range of colours and can suit both children and adults. An inexpensive all-in-one mobile.

VF 533
Date: October 16, 2009
I bought this phone today and was very disappointed to find only a quick user guide in the box.
This phone was to replace another vodaphone model which DID have a complete user guide.
I have spent the last four hours on the internet (including the Vodaphone site) trying to obtain a guide.
I would suggest that if Vodaphone are not going to supply a complete guide with all phones, they should have them readily available to down load.
The phone is nice looking and the features I have managed to master are Ok although there aren't many ringtones. You need to buy a cable to attach to your PC to download more tones. The volumes not brilliantly either.
I can't review the phone completely as I don't know how to use some of the features, but I have to say it's a little disappointing.
