O2 Ice Review
Phone
rating: 
The O2 Ice is an attractively-styled 3G phone with
a classic "candy-bar" shape. It's a very slim phone, at just 14mm,
and elegant, with an ice white colour scheme. The keypad is well
laid out, with small but nicely raised keys and a 5-way navigation
key and is easy to use.
The O2 Ice supports video calling with a front-mounted
video camera. There's a second rear-mounted camera for taking still
images. This is a 1.3 megapixel camera and gives acceptable results,
but is by no means the best camera on a mobile phone. The Ice has
an MP3 player, which is of reasonable quality. Although the memory
supplied is just 32 Mbytes, which is not enough to store more than
a handful of music tracks, there is a Micro SD memory card slot
which allows you to expand the total memory to more than a Gbyte
- enough to store plenty of songs. This isn't up to Apple
iPod standards though, so don't expect to replace a dedicated
music player. There's a headset socket on the side of the phone.
The O2 Ice comes with a USB cable for transferring music files from
your PC, and also supports Bluetooth wireless connectivity.
In addition to video calling, the O2 Ice supports
all of O2's 3G services, and being exclusive to O2, the phone is
configured with easy access to these. For example, you can access
O2 Active with a single key press. Internet access is fast, thanks
to the 3G connection.
Our first impressions of the O2 Ice were good -
it's a compact 3G handset offering excellent value for money - but
as with so many of the O2-branded phones, it's unreliable. Read
the user reviews below for a flavour of people's real-life experiences
with this phone. The main problems seem to be software/firmware
related, and can range from particular functions not working to
the whole phone shutting down and needing to be replaced. These
problems appear to be random, so if you buy it you might be lucky,
or you might not.
Features
of the O2 Ice include:
- 3G video calling
- 1.3 megapixel camera
- Display: 256k colours, 176 x 220 pixels
- Video camera
- MP3 player
- MP3 ringtones / 64-voice polyphonic ringtones
- Voice recorder
- Messaging: email
- WAP 2.0, GPRS
- Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB
- Memory: 32 Mbytes plus Micro SD memory card
slot
- Size: 117 x 49 x 14 mm
- Weight: 92g
- Triband plus 3G
- Talktime: 6 hours
- Battery standby: 312 hours

The O2 Ice is a nice little 3G phone, especially for its price.
I recently purchased a Nokia n95 on contract from another network,
and I decided to buy this phone as a cheap pay as you go handset
for emergencies/diverting calls to. First off, I'm actually suprised
people have things to winge about this phone (not including the
problems people have had with hardware/software), especially as
it only costs £59.99 with a bluetooth headset free too! The phones
really smart, it's easy to use, looks pretty nice and has some really
decent features (3G, 1.3 mega pixel camera, web browsing, mp3 player
etc.) - much to my suprise (even the quality of the camera is good
- well in daylight). Some negative points though. The texting seems
slow to update, and there is no flash on the camera. Yet, I didn't
expect this anyways especially for the price (even the w880i Sony
Ericsson phone doesnt have a flash). All in all, it's a bargain
in my eyes for a 3G handset. I tested the video calling with my
Nokia n95, and it worked fine :). If you want a slightly better
3G phone; then for an extra £20 - £40 - then the Sony Ericsson k610i
is the perfect handset.

Hi all, i have got many email asking about these trouble with O2
ice, and they asked me why i didnt post how to solve these to this
forum. Ok, everyone know that, there are many trouble with O2 ice,
so i just want show you exactly your trouble when you email me,
but after some days, i realize that i have no time to asnwer all
email, so i am going to post some basic solution here. O2 ice got
2 main trouble: can not recognize memory card ( that the reason
why you can not open sound or images folder ), low voice speaker...
---About the memory card: after buying any sd card, using memory
card reader to format the card on your computer ( choose FAT not
FAT32 ), after that put your sd card into the O2 ice ( this is so
important, when you put your sd card after formating into O2 ice,
it will automatically copy some source into the sd card to recognize
each other ) Ok, if you do exactly, now you can take your sd card
out off the O2 ice and copy any sound or any picture on it ---About
low voice speaker: and you can not hear any ring tone, it's too
easy. Using SoundForce or GoldWave software to gain up the sound
quantity of your mp3 file, now you can hear your call...hehe If
someone got some different trouble, post here, remember my name
Tran Hieu and i am from Viet Nam. [Editor's comment: Thanks to Tran
Hieu for taking the time to answer people's problems :)]

pc through usb as I was used to my old phone doing it automaticaly
but all you have to do is go into connection settings at set it
to 'usb' and 'mass storage' and it works like a charm. This might

wot are u lot talking about. This phone does exactly wot it says
on the tin and its stupidly cheap. If you want something really
high standard thats sounds greats, looks great and puts on little
skits for u after dinner then you have to pay big bucks for it.
The mp3 player and the camera are both good for the money but if
u want something really high quality dont be such a cheapskate and
buy a standalone mp3 player or a proper digital camera. On the whole,
very easy to use, looks ok and definately worth £45.

reliable and iv had no problems whatsoever (touch wood. the camera
is decent enough and takes pretty good pictures. unfortunatly you
cant transfer downloaded games on to it, and they have to be downloaded
through the mobiles online browser where you have to pay for them
:-( you can transfer wallpapers and mp3s though so it isnt all bad.
texting is nice and fast too which is good becuse i send alot of
texts. the keys are nice and big making it quite easy to send messages
without looking at the screen. all in all i think my first impressions
of the o2 ice phone are very good.

I had been looking for a phone for a while, say this phone in the
argos catalogue. looked like a great phone for the price. even came
with a free 512mb card. {thhough not an offical one}. The phone
worked fine until i inserted the memory card. I knew the card had
been inserted but when i tried to take a picture and save it to
the card it said the card was full. i checked the memory status
card size 0mb. space free 0mb. photos 0mb etc. I couldn't save to
the card. Although the card worked fine in my PC`s card reader.
i take the phone back to argos and exchane it for anther o2 ice.
the card still does nt work. i exchange the card and the phone again
and it still does not work. don`t buy this phone if you want to
take lots of pictures as it does not appear to work with memory
cards. (strangely on the first o2 ice phone it did work, utill i
turned the phone off and on again). I have manged to remove 3 o2
ice phoens though as i have used all of them so argos are thus unable
to sell them again.

The aesthetics of the phones are quite satisfying; the keys are
well-pronounced and the screen is clear enough to go about your
daily business. The functionality, however, leaves an awful lot
to be desired. It is compatible with almost no games on the market
and, after being repeatedly hassled to sign up to their "amazing"
O2 extra service - with promise of a free game - I was quite predictably
disappointed as the service informs me that my handset cannot operate
the games offered on their service. The camera is acceptable, but
loses a lot of its functionality when the menus themselves become
mysteriously inaccessible, after only a few months of careful handling.
The MP3 playback functionality would be useful if the stock speaker
could actually exceed 15dB; although I usually prefer to use my
standalone MP3 player, in the absence of charge for it, I found
the O2 Ice to be completely incompetent in the field of practical
and audible MP3 playback. I cannot comment on the headset's functionality,
having not yet used it. As I prefer to use MP3s in a higher bitrate,
Gaping flaws aside, we have a fairly minimal but sleek handset.
The phone itself is quite stylish and definitely accomplishes the
basic cellphone functions with a little finesse. If only the peripheral
functions were more useful.

I think there are potentially two problems with this phone: a) Good
firmware or bad firmware; b) iffy quality control. I might have
been lucky in getting a very good one (original source Woolworths),
and as a good one, I really don't have any complaints as such. It's
very easy and fast to use, I get on great with the buttons, and
I haven't had any problems with software, microSD card (I use a
genuine Sandisk 1gb card - I think there are memory cards, and there
are memory cards, not all in the same league at all), files, using
my MP3's as ringtones, etc. Properly charged, the battery life is
very accepable (I get a full days use out of it no problem, plus
I left it switched on at home when I went away for 10 days holiday,
it was still on when I got back, which seems fine to me). If you
get a bad one, just like with a bad 'anything', that's got to be
the pits. I think easy access to firmware versions might sort out
a lot of people's problems? One thing I would really like to be
able to do with this phone, is get it unlocked. I travel in areas
with zero O2 reception, and need to be able to put in Sim that works
in that area. I phoned O2 about it, and they said they would unlock
it for me after I have had it for a year. That is NOT good business
sense, and means I am actually using the O2 service a lot less than
I otherwise would. In Finland it is illegal to sell phones that
are locked, and the mobile market thrives there. We need such legislation
in the UK, imo. So write/e-mail your MP's about it (it's what they
are there for).

and £10 airtime to boot. the phone is extremely light in both colour
and weight, the camera is 1.3mp but this is in no way a bad camera
as i have taken shots that look as good if not better than my brothers
2mp camera. video calling isn't too bad for the price some lag but
nothing to effect the fun or novelty as for the features on the
phone the mp3 player on the phone is great whether you listen to
it through the loud speaker (which is better than anything that
sony ericson has ever created) when you listen to it through the
headphones the added bass really does change the quality of the
song, i would go as far to say that the mp3 player on this phone
is better than apples very own ipod (for sound quality) the large
buttons make it extrodanry easy to text. other features like the
games are good fun, with free ones available from O2 it has all
the ot her standards on other far more expensive mobiles and that
is why i guess this is the best phone on the market at a third of
the price of so called far better sony ericsons, don't get them
get this than buy a sd card and save yourself about £80, then just
lie back and listen to the best sounding mp3 player you've ever
heard thank for reading this review Graham

volume is a bit low bot overall it is a fantastic phone for the
price. transfering photos and files is easy bluetooth is easy and
fast hands free is great also uploading mp3s to the phone is great.uploading
digital photos to your phone produces a brilliant display best ive

I don't understand why so many people are disappointed with this
phone. At the end of the day it's extremely cheap and if you buy
it online it should come with a free Bluetooth headset and a 1GB
memory card. I however personally think that the design is slightly
odd, but it doesn't look bad either. The buttons are very easy to
use and have excellent response rates too, so it's a godsend for
people who like to send text messages. The camera is acceptable
and pretty much what you'd expect for a 1.3MP phone camera. I've
seen much worse. The typical features such as video playback and
expandable memory are also major attractions. Overall I think this
is an excellent value handset with many of the features you would
find on other phones triple the price.

my trusty but busted nokia 7600 eventually stopped working and CHEAP
replacement o2 PAYG handsets aren't that easy to come by, especially
on the high street, and on a sunday ... woolworths had this for
£55 and i saw nothing that much cheaper. and it was pretty .. but
that's about all it is. by the following friday i took it back for
a refund. i can't see how the manafacturers could possibly have
"tested" this before releasing it for sale .. everything, pretty
much, is poorly layed out, thought out. the ringtones are AWFUL
and pretty much inaudible .. the profiles are poorly implemented
.. the shortcuts are ill-considered .. sending a text message is
a faff ... the camera isn't too bad - a lot of reviews here moaning
about it but i got some ok results, i liked the adjustable "white
balance" and various modes ... i liked the easy to use software
disk too. i am now using a friends ancient nokia 5210 ... which
is FAR better .. until a replacement sony k510i arrives, here's
hoping that will be better .. i can't recommend this phone to anyone.

Had this phone since Sept, been back to the shop 3 times with it
already! Had to go back for repair early on cos sound was faulty.
Now despite putting on settings for media messaging and contacting
o2 head office I still can't send or receive media messages nor
use o2 active. The shop can't sort the problem so I am going to
have to go back yet again and moan. Think i have got a rogue phone
but no one wants to do anything about it!!

I bought this phone for my daughter for Christmas. I was impressed
with the specifications and paid £69 for it from the O2 online shop.
The deal included a free Bluetooth headset... Everything works well.
It's easy to send texts, the mp3 player is acceptable, as is the
camera and the menus are very easy to navigate. If you're looking
for a phone with plenty of features and don't want to spend a fortune,
this is the phone for you. Very impressive!

I have had this phone for a day now and i am really pleased with
it. At 110 pound i found it a bargin at an 02 store in Barnet, North
London. Its a very good phone and the camera is extremly clear and
looks better than the 1.3 on the d500! Once 02 bring a slide to
the middle market it will sell extremely well! and i got the first
review!
