Philips Savvy Cell Phone

I bought this product for a very fair reason, and that was because it was dirt cheap and I was DESPERATE for a new phone. It is actually a really good phone, and in my opinion, it looks fairly alright. I am on a pay as you go contract, and what attracted me to this particular phone not only was its price, but the fact that I could buy #5 top up cards, which was really cool, because it is expensive running a mobile phone, especially on some of the tarrifs. I bought it at the carphone warehouse, and the cool thing is that if you have an old phone, with the charger and the manual, you can get a part exchange, and you get to keep your sim card, so if you are hell bent on keeping your old number, then you can upgrade your phone with a compatible phone for your server. My old phone, I am sorry to say, was a brick. It was really big, and just dosent have the street cred that my Savvy has.
I use it for keeping in contact with friends. I would be LOST with out my little texts that keep me going through the day. You see, I have friends from all over the country, and I cant really keep in touch any other way. It is a nice size, it keeps charged fairly easy, and apart from the fact that I could REALLY do with a new phone, I am really happy with it.
The only draw back of this product is its lack of sex appeal and it isnt really that popular anymore. If you are looking for a cheap and practical phone that is compact and looks good, then the savvy is a good buy. Though if you are looking for something a little more expensive with games and more choice (for example, ring tones), then the Nokia 3310 is probably a better buy. I think that they look far nicer than the Savvy, and when I get some money I might get this, though I will probably hold out till the market yields a nicer phone, because you might have noticed that whenever you buy a phone, 5 seconds later, there is a better model with a better deal!
Though I have to say, a few of my friends have bought Nokias, and my phone has always outlived it. I think its cover is nice, but on a Nokia you have more choice. Also the ring tones are ok, but yet again on a Nokia you can get almost anything.
The thing that I hate most about this mobile is the bulge it has in my pocket (no puns I beg you!) but it is a little on the big size compared to some sleek and chic models on the market. For example, Moterola have some well nice mobiles.
Its best to shop around, but I would say this is a good trusty mobile that you can keep until maybe something better comes along.
But then again people, a mobile is just a mobile, and they arent that important in how they look. The way they work is far more important. I have to say that in all the time that I have had this mobile, it has NEVER broke down. I have dropped it, thrown it, punched it, screamed down it, cried into it and many other things that I dont think other mobiles would be able to cope with as well as my Savvy has. I think the Nokias wuldnt have stood the test of time with me, lol. Also, in most places, the reception is excellent. I have never been short of battery power, but people, please charge your mobile regularly, it isnt the phones fault!
