Martin.'s Review of Philips Genie

24th Sep 2000

Overall Rating

5 stars

    5 stars
Good Points

Small, light(99grams), Voice dialling, Vibration alert, excellent screen size+display for small phone, many features, bargain!


Bad Points

Minor quibbles only - Only 2 hours talktime, but is Lithium so can recharge anytime without memory loss. Higher power battery also available. Tariff may not suit everyone (need to top up £15 every 60 days but do get 500 mins free to landline.)


General Comments

I picked this up for £19.99(!) from local BT shop on Cellnet Pay and go free best friend. This phone was priced at £149.99 this time last year! I have owned all 3 of the prepay phones with free best friend ( Philips C12, Motorola 3588 and this) This one is by far the best and at a crazy price. I think it may be discontinued soon because this price is unbelievable for a phone like this, which has been around for a couple of years but was one of the first to have voice activated dialling and vibration alert.

The screen is huge for a phone this small, miles bigger than Philips c12 and ericsson T10,18,28. Has a diary which can be used as alarm, 24 hour clock, date. Also has a call timer for each call and total calls made, which is unusual on pre pay. Mny more features too many to mention. This phone is absolutely superb and is worth buying if you can find one. Best bet is trying local BT shops.
