Good Points

The voicedialling (10 nos max) is the most reliable I've used. The handset's light, text is clear, buttons have firm "click", & user interface/menus are self-explanatory.


Bad Points

No T9/iTAP, + only 3 lines text viewable. The battery life is appalling (65-80 mins talktime max).


General Comments

Purchased the Philips Genie 18 months ago (Nov 99), I still have no overall regret in using this handset. However, it has been surpassed by the Philips 9@9's WAP/animation/T9/icon sms/voice command capabilities.

Or, if you can obtain it (before the manufacturer closes its operation) the 9660; which shares the above features, but has more than the 3 WAPreadeable text lines + a rearmounted received speech speaker.

    half the reviews on this webpage including this one are far too short and do not give enough information on the phone itself and its features!!!
