it is cheap compared to the features it has, so i bought it. It is somewhat hard to use and is stupidly complicated and boring. I hoped it would last at least a few years, but the screen died all of a sudden after several months (i lost my receipt)
Dont get this fone, unless u like the look of it, which i dont.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Not a bad phone. But what is the use of having USB mode when you dont get a USB cable. My only option is bluetooth

I have had this phone for around half a year and have had no big problems. One thing is that i cant find how to use the radio but it isn't a radio its a phone.So that is no problem. It has a good size screen for its size and all i needed it for was txting and calling and that was easy to do. I feel that this phone is good for first time buyers and if you arent going to use it 24/7. But overall it is a GREAT phone for its price.
Yes, I recommend this product.

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.
Yes, I recommend this product.

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, I recommend this product.

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!
No, I do not recommend this product.

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 :)
Yes, I recommend this product.

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.
Yes, I recommend this product.

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.
No, I do not recommend this product.
