    4.0 out of 5 stars Very good but battery life is a drag!!, 24 Oct 2004
    This review is from: NEC e616V - ThreePay - Pay As You Go Mobile Phone (Electronics)
    I have used the previous incarnation of this phone (the E606) and this is a vast improvement The looks, menu and features are far superior to the old phone, but unfortunatly some of the downsides haven't been addressed. Music playing software is present and works really well, the outside camera is good and has the benefit of a light for when things are a bit dark, the inside camera is less usable due to it's lower resolution.Downloading filmclips, music or football is easy via 3's website, shame you cant visit other sites! The battery life is still poor and rather than remedy this NEC have supplied a large battery, its ugly, and heavy. Bluetooth makes it's debut here but is no use for sending business cards or pictures as it only recognises headsets! The software in the V version of this phone seems to have been sorted as crashes are very very rare, but unfortunately the 3 network is still as bad as ever. I live in a strong signal area so dont suffer the signal dropout that others have experienced, but you need to check before you buy!Overall a good phone with tons of features, but it's useability is restricted by battery life.
    The 3 tariff system is very confusing and is only suitable for heavy users as they steal any remaining credit back after 30 days, so use it or lose it!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best Phone Out, 13 Nov 2004
    This review is from: NEC e616V - ThreePay - Pay As You Go Mobile Phone (Electronics)
    I bought the NEC e616 today at 7 O'clock. i am still playing with the phone and finding new features. what a great phone!!. £45 is what i paid for the phone with free credit. how can any one go wrong with that?? My previous phone was a sony ericsson T610 and that is C**p compared to this.

    I have downloaded songs from my pc (media player) easliy using the usb cable provided in the pack and the sound quality is excellent, as is the movie quality.

    You can record a little clip using your phone which only lasts 11 seconds but thats long enough isn't it?? you can also donwload movies from the internet on your phone, or from your pc via the usb cable again which last alot longer. 2 - 3 mins if not more

    The phone comes with 19mb memory, which is suffiecient if you are not a heavy video/sound recorder but if thats not enough then you can even purchase a MEMORY CARD that slots into the phone so you can dowload hundreds of stuff. thats great in my eyes.

    personally for £45 how the hell can any one go wrong. you pay at least £50 for a video recorder these days and £30 for a camera but with this you have alot more than just them two features. you may say 'well you can't print off pictures like a camera'. well i think you can because you can transfer files FROM your phone To your PC and vice versa therefore you can print off pictures taken by the phone off from the computer (if you have a printer)easily using the usb cable.

    Its magic in my eyes and i recommend it to anyone.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Super dooper, 7 Nov 2004
    This review is from: NEC e616V - ThreePay - Pay As You Go Mobile Phone (Electronics)
    My fiance bought a 3 phone on ebay the NEC e228 for £55,so as my phone was having camera problems on the Motorola V600 he decided to buy me the NECe616.Its a very good phone and although we live outside a 3 area we use 02's masts for signal which is very strong and both of us have had no problems with signal,the only thing is you can't get all the services but we can still get music send mms and text but not any video calls which isn't really a problem, and at only 59.99 down from almost £200 you can't really complain,the only thing about this phone that i don't really like is it size very bulky compared with other clamshells of todays phones also battery life is not great if using it for browsing a lot, but overall if you live outside a 3 mast area but get good 02 coverage and only want a phone for texting talking and sending MMs msg's and at this price you have to seriously consider buying a three phone they are only new. There masts will arrive in our area in about in 4 months so it is worth the wait and certainly the value and oh yes the cameras are superb especially on the e228 and e616 especially in well lit areas. So if your asking should i buy one the answer is YES providing you live in a good 3 signal area or are covered by an 02 mast cheers
