landrover phone should not have landrover on it the phone is poor 12hrs standby best i got out of mine,GPS could not get to work worst phone i have ever had sent it back got my money back lucky me
Thanks Steve, I nearly bought one of these! thank goodness I didnt.
I have had the opposite experience to Steve, had the phone for 72 hours now, used it non stop and left it on Standby when not in use. It’s still showing as full battery, my old nokia would cried in the corner by now!!
The Phone is as solid as my Land Rover Defender, so far VERY happy customer. It’s not a fashion phone, no choice of ringtones etc (although i’ve downloaded some) BUT if you want a fashion phone there are plenty of chav phones out there… this one is rugged and serves a purpose to almost military spec!
