"I bought a Motorola E398 from myworldphone on November 25th 2004. They ship all their product UPS 2nd day. I got the phone within 48 hours. The phone came with:
phone, battery, back cover, usb cable, one cd rom, 5 language manual, 64mb sd card, a transflash card and motorola retail packaging. The phone has no logo of any carrier. The phone was also unlocked. I would reccommend everyone to this store to get your next phone. "

"UPS #1z848y7v2944769074
Just received my nokia 7710. My first impression was that the phone is so big or something, but after two hours i realize how small the phone is compare to group of programs that is in it. I ordered the phone day before yesterday and received it today. Yes, it is not a very easy to use phone, its more like a PDA than a phone. The amazing Nokia 7710 has all the standard acronym features that have come to be expected of a phone in this class: GSM (tri-band), GPRS/EDGE (high-speed data transmission), MMS/SMS (messaging), and an MP3 media player. The phone also comes equipped with a smartphone Symbian Series 90 operating system and a host of options for wireless connectivity, including Bluetooth support. The 7710's multimedia capabilities, however, are what make it stand out from the crowd. One glance at the 7710 and there's no doubt as to its primary function. The multipurpose device consists of a wide, 65K color, touchscreen display that takes up nearly an entire side. Its 1.3 megapixel camera goes well with this type of display, as do its extensive set of video streaming, recording, and playback features. The 7710's wide screen can be used with a PDA-type stylus or even just the finger for dialing a number on the on-screen keypad.

Photo editing applications include the ability to sketch over an existing megapixel image as well as traditional digital camera functions like crop, zoom, and flip. Other exciting media applications include an FM radio and Visual Radio client capable of providing on-screen information about current artist and song. The phone also includes powerful Personal Information Management (PIM) applications.

Another notable characteristic of the 7710 is its mobile weblogging ability, which enables users to upload data, including images and text, to their personal online blog. In the over-saturated cell phone market, the Nokia 7710 takes its place among the creative handsets. Developed for a young, professional market, the device is free of traditional design and function concerns, and proves to incorporate some truly innovative features. As to where to buy from, i reccomend www.myworldphone.com, they have excellent customer service and very fast shipment.

"I've used Myworldphone.com twice so far, and have't had any issues. The reason why I probably haven't had some of the same issues as other consumers here may be because I only pick up from their physical location, I have never used them for mail order. Myworldphone is located in Queens, NY, so it is just a long subway ride for me. I first bought a Motorola SLVR L7 on May, 22nd 06. I usually check the merchandise in front of their faces, and pop in my sim card to make sure it works. At the time $199 for the L7 was an amazing price. I then purchased a pink Motorola RAZR as a gift in November '06 for around $160. I do question whether or not I got the official pink version, as the color was still a little more "reddish" than I would have liked. But they showed me a "Fuscia" model that was clearly darker so I assumed the pink model I got was indeed the correct one. Again, everything was pretty straight forward. I believe the operation is legit, I've seen mounds of product boxes and a lot of activity at their location. I would have no problems believing they probably do a huge amount of wholesale volume. One thing that is a little annoying about them for pick up is they only accept cash, but they refuse to give a break on the tax. I understand I can't expect this, but it's pretty commonplace in NYC for cash purchases at smaller businesses (especially cel phone stores. I highly doubt they actually give that collected sales tax in "cash" to the gov't. I've heard plenty of horror stories about these guys when ordered through the web, but for pick up so far, everything has been straight. From what I've personally seen they seem to have the business to move product in pretty high volume. I would most likely use them exclusively for my unbranded phone purchases, their prices usually can't be beat. As a heads up, their phones are unbranded GSM units, usually from Europe or Africa and have 220volt plugs."

"I got to admit, myworldphone's super fast shipping rocks all the way. I needed a Nokia E61 PDA on Saturday for my BF birthday, and I have called myworldphone at 6pm Eastern. I spoke to a women at sales "Angel",. At first i thought, there is no way, i can get the phone by Saturday morning, but then Angel made it possible and got me the product on Saturday morning. I am extremely satisfied, and will reccomend them again I was referred to myworldphone by a tech support guy at Tmobile. "

"Long been waiting to get a casino royale version of the phone since the movie started its preview, its called sony ericsson k800i casino royale. I have called several company to see if anyone has it. I called up my American Express black card for any info on it, and they referred me to myworldphone.com, ordered the phone and got the phone the next day (of course i paid next day shipping $$).. excellent service, satisfied customer. Thanks.

Here is a small review about the phone:
Sony Ericsson presented the K800 as their latest shooter to replace your pocket camera, as well as a lot of other multimedia gadgets you've got used to carrying with you, and it combines their functionality in a single device. The successor of the K750 upgrades the camera resolution from 2 to 3.2 mega pixels and replaces the ordinary LED flash with the Xenon one, which is like the ones used in stand-alone cameras.

Carrying the “Cyber-Shot” branding, the Sony Ericsson K800 is the first handset of the manufacturer's multimedia series designed as “cameraphones” (Sony's digital camera line is also called Cyber-Shot). It is similar to the Walkman series which consist of music-oriented phones that the Japaneese-Swedish company offers with great success, including on the US market (through the W600 that was launched with Cingular). As a multimedia-oriented phone, the K800 pays attention to music too so it comes with stereo headphones (well they're definitely not the best ones), as well as a PC connection cable for transferring multimedia content between the phone and the PC."

"Me and my K800i Black. From Myworldphone. got shipment within 24 hours of ordering it.
Having recently renewed my contract with Orange (who I was going to leave following a pretty shoddy first year of contract until they went all Marlon Brando in 'The Godfather' on me… No… They didn't have me wake up to a horse's head in my bed! They simply gave me an offer I couldn't refuse…) upgraded my mobile phone from the Sony Ericsson W800i which had been fairly problematic at times to the Sony Ericsson K800i.

It's a phone that I quite liked the look of but the fact that it features a 3.2 mega pixel digital camera was something that I loved the thought of - having had a 2 mega pixel camera on the W800i that gave some pretty good results, I thought moving up to 3.2 mega pixels would be amazing. That said, I have read online that the camera is in fact only 3.15 mega pixel but that's as near as damn it to 3.2 mega pixel, I suppose!

THE LOOK

The handset is slightly bigger than the W800i but looks quite nice and stylish with a black and silver casing. The keys are quite small and closely packed together and as a result using the phone can sometimes be a little on the fiddly side.


THE CAMERA

The back of the phone is quite nice to look at too. This is where the 3.2 mega pixel Cyber-Shot™ camera is situated - this is accessible via a small sliding piece of plastic that protects the lens when the camera is not in use. The W800i that I used to own used very bright LEDs as a flash (and could also double them up as a fully-fledged light which could be very useful from time to time - which is something missing from the K800i that I do miss) whereas the K800i has a proper camera flash. The Xenon flash is like that on a dedicated digital camera and allows flash photography as well as a double flash for red-eye reduction.

The flash is very bright and more than admirably does the job - the problem being that it sometimes does the job too well. The closer the subject is to you when you take a photo with the flash activated, the more they will look like a hugely bright white blob - unless of course any of your friends are bright white blobs - in which case, there's no need to panic.

Having taken a few shots with the 3.3 mega pixel camera, I can say that the results are pretty bloody lovely, all in all. The colours are caught perfectly and as the resolution is up to 2048x1536 pixels, they will print out very nicely too - assuming that you have a printer that prints photo quality (see my Epson RX425 3-in-one combo review as this is the machine I use that prints photo quality images very nicely indeed and also comes recommended by yours truly!).

The camera allows you lots of different options when taking photos:

VIDEO MODE

Film in either 10 second bursts of video for MMS messages or unlimited video (memory dependant) for other video filming.

Focusing including: Auto, macro and infinite settings
Image stabiliser.

Night Mode

Effects including: Black & white, negative, sepia and solarize

White balance

Turn mic on/off

PANORAMA: This lets you take up to three pictures that can be joined together at the point of taking them to make up one large panoramic image! This generally works very well and can lead to some very nice results though these can depend greatly on the lighting of each individual image (sometimes they don't quite match) and on how steady your hand is when taking them!

FRAMES: This allows you to put pictures of people into novelty frames - such as their face on a cartoon Elvis Presley or onto a cartoon astronaut etc! This can be quite entertaining initially but can become a little boring quite fast.

OTHER FEATURES

I phoned Orange about this issue to ask if there was a way to disable the internet button or designate it with another use but they said this is not possible and that the only way to stop the internet issue would be to remove the internet service from my phone altogether. I decided that this was not an option as MMS picture messaging requires the internet to send and receive images.

Orange gave me the number to Sony Ericsson to see if they could advise me if there was an alternative. They too advised me this could not be changed.

At my wits end, I called Orange back and spoke to an agent there who advised me of a way to side-step the issue as opposed to resolving it. He said you can change the settings so the internet can't connect - but you must remember the original settings to make it work again.

As I said, this INFERNAL button id the only thing I truly HATE about the K800i… other than that, it is a lovely phone. I have heard that not all network providers have the stupid internet button on the main keypad and have substituted it with another button and purpose. I would whole-heartedly advise you to check this out if you like me are likely to be driven mad by his feature!"

"nok n80 phoneis the butchers meat i had it 4 like 3 months and i LOVE IT like food yum yum yum lol its the best phone, features are excellent and batery life is phenomenol music quality is also top! i reccomend this phone 2 everyone happy meating this phone the besttt tnx nok & myworldphone. 24hr got the phone after payment. On the whole I like this phone. The battery life is ok and improves with correct charging. Major gripe is there is no text reminder, it doesn't beep if you missed it coming in and I can't find a programme to buy that will do this. Also have to use it on 2G usually as the 3G often looses connectivity. No crashes, I've had the phone 3 months. Slide doesn't lock down as securely as I'd like. The connectivity to the pc is stable unlike my previous motoralas. Software included is basic, not even a good alarm, without having to buy one but loads of stuff you wouldn't use. Style, keypad, screen and camera are lovely. not bad.

"The 8801 is packed full of features, including instant messaging and SMS, a camera, an MP3 player, an FM radio (only with a headset), and a beautiful 1.75-inch, 265,000-color screen. The 8801 does not have any expandable memory options, but does have 64MB of storage built into the phone for your videos, pictures, and MP3s.

Despite its great look and numerous features, I wasn't nearly as impressed with the overall usability of the phone. Like the rest of the handset, the keypad is well made--it's laser cut and has a gentle feel. Unfortunately, it's very little, and the bottom row of number keys is set too close to the housing, which can make typing difficult. The 8801 also includes a four-way navigation button for scrolling through menus, but it's also quite small and can be frustrating to use.

The 0.5-megapixel camera takes adequate snapshots but lacks a dedicated access button. Like many cell phone cameras, this one suffers from a disappointing shutter lag, so capturing moving subjects is hard.

Overall, the 8801's physical design is well done, and the handset is very pleasant to use. This phone is like an expensive gold watch: A cheap digital watch will tell you the time, but not with the same class. If you're buying this phone solely for its looks, you'll likely enjoy it. But if you're in the market for a more affordable device, you'll find many that work just as well as the pricey 8801 does. Hm.. what else, got it from myworldphone.co mwithin two days, good price too. they are around for like 8 years and so on.."

"I have been buying from them for years and have bought at least 10 or more for family members excluding my purchases. Only problem is their 24-hour service but they are there or not sleep at least 14hrs a day; good enough for me."
