    Good Points: Easy to use, very strong signal and software, loud tones so you don't miss any calls and incoming sms. For the size and the weight, very complete.


    Bad Points: Sometimes blacks out. Battery life less than xenium model.


    General comments: The Philips Fisio 820 is a very good phone for its weight and size and price.

    The Philips Fisio 820 isn't a very good phone. I cant belive I brought it! You cant download anything to it like you can with Nokia's. The voice recognition is bad and there is not even 1 game you can get for it. It always froze on me too! But i've got a new fone now.

    To be honest, I did actually quite like the Philips Fisio 820 mobile phone to start with. I could put pictures on my screen and it was the first colour phone I had ever had.
    Sadly, it was very short lived. After a couple of months, the battery failed and Philips took 3 weeks to replace my phone. The '2' button sticks continually, on both my original phone and on the replacement. You can't actually see the screen when it is sunny. There is never an adequate signal. The predictive text system doe ...

    By far the worst phone I have ever owned - counting the days until I can upgrade or, more likely, sever my contract with Orange. I would write a long review detailing all its faults but frankly this phone isn't worth it. In short every aspect of the Fisio 820, apart possibly from its looks, is awful beyond belief. What were Philips thinking? More to the point, what were Orange thinking when they added this phone to their range? Orange claim they test all candidates for suitability - they co ...

    Don't even think about buying one of these. I got mine on a free upgrade but feel well and truly robbed. And yes, it has been back to Philips for appropriate remedial maintenance. Yuck!!!

    This is the worst phone I ever had! I was duped by the colour screen but regretted it the first time I used WAP or texted, should have taken it straight back when it did not switch off the first time I used it. It has got worse over time now the keys work interminently! Also entering names into the directory is pants, it asks for last name then first name and presents it this way so instead of john smith you get smith john!

    Wap, I can sit next to my wife and attempt to race her motorola, sam ...

    Three words for it....PANTS PANTS PANTS! I can't wait for my contract to expire. The phone is difficult to negotiate around, the WAP service doesn't work very well, the graphics and images provided are embaressing, and no one else supplies personalised accessories for the phone. I got this for free with my orange contract and to be quiet honest they shouldn't even be giving it away let alone selling it

    the only good point about the fisio 820 is that some day i won't own it anymore!! please, please, pleeaaseee...listen to wots been said this is a scummy phone!! i have never got bluetooth to work, even when 2 of us sit with the phones touching for about 2 bloomin hours!! no games (can't find any where to get them either) can't find ringtones, can't find pictures.....basically so many can'ts. So heed my words, it would be better for you to get yogurt pots on string instead of this phone!!

    Fisio 820 is an amazing phone I have ever seen before, top marks to Philips for producing great mobile phone. Very attractive small and with lots of features. But no data cable for downloading! I am looking forward to see new models from Philips like new Philips 330, 530, 630 especially Philips 530 is looking amazing and having some great features!

    The Philips Fisio 820 has to be the worst phone I've ever owned. I got it for free from Orange - and I still think I paid too much. It crashes all the time. It has no games at all. The voice recognition is rubbish. It scratches so easily that after a month it looks like I've owned it for a decade.

    I have had such frustrations with the Philips Fisio 820 ever since I got it and I have finally sent it back to Philips demanding a replacement. I found some reviews on this phone quite promising, however now I wish I had looked further. Philips have informed me that they are low on stock at the minute but will deal with me ASAP, it's now been a week so I'll give it another couple of days. I keep my fingers crossed that they will replace my mobile with something that works. At the minute I am ...

    Do not choose this phone it is a waste of time, The only time you can make a call is when you have full reception and even then it can make you sound like a Darlek. I had to have this phone replaced once also because the battery gave up cutting out the power intermitantly. Stay away!

    The biggest pain with the Philips Fisio 820 is the unavalable accessories. The USB cable is impossible to obtain. I have been trying to obtain one for 8 months and Phillps are USELESS at assisting, just saying contact our agents Dutch West and Dutch West blaiming Phillips for non supply. This means that the phone does not do what it is advertised as being able to do as you cannot down load or upload to it. Even the Bluetooth will not talk to the computer. Reception through Orange poor

    I'm glad it not just my phone that's not very reliable as i've had nothing but problems. Mainly with the network, i'm with orange, but i never seem to have a full signal, therefore phone cuts out the whole time. It does freeze, it does weird things when it has low battery and basically i really miss my reliable old nokia 3210. Another thing that annoys me is the sound of the text messages, there's only the one and it's not very nice.
    so there we are!

    Horrible phone, looks the part but unusable in real life! Voice recognition rarely works, navigation truly diabolical, and the worst is that it just will not work where other phones will. I now have to 'upgrade' to get rid of the stupid thing. You listening, Philips?

    Got phone on contract 6-8 months ago when the phone was fairly new on the market. Had locking up problems almost straight away, but taking off the back of the phone resolved the problem, so it didn't worry me.
    About 2 months ago problem got much worse, so reported problem to orange, who had no idea what I was talking about. Orange "eventually" decided to replace the handset with a new one.
    New phone has not shown any of the previous problems, which must mean that the early phones were pr ...
