Virgin Lobster 544 review

Typical price: £70

What is it: An entry-level clamshell phone with a 1.3-megapixel camera and an expandable miniSD slot

What we think: We like the price tag and the phone is easy to use, however we're slightly disappointed with the lack of a speakerphone mode and no Bluetooth

Abysmal

January 4, 2007

Posted by: M Rule

"This phone is abysmal"

What I like:

The price, though for a plastic, unworkable phone it's expensive

What I don't like:

It's crap and doesn't work... twice!

Review:

Had two of these - 1st phone blocked up completely after unblocking codes entered. So I got a replacement which offers sporadic incoming voice-only after unblocking. Ha! Try to phone Virgin after many attempts at the help line to return it... it's hell... hello, hello, hello?! So I picked it up and threw it at the wall... Conclusion: the software cannot handle any unblocking onto other networks, it fries the chips! The camera has terrible light resolution so it warps all the colours for the first monments of a subject, forcing eternal fiddling with contrast. So lots of software that's cheap Korean rubbish. The mp3 is about as accessible as a jukebox... eternal roaming around menus to get it to recognise downloads... Goodbye Virgin.
