O2 Ice Review
Phone rating:
Review: December 2006. Updated June 2007.
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.

when you play music but I dont want to be one of those irritating nobs
who annoy people on the bus by playing loud music on their phone! Im
happy with it. I had a problem connecting it with the 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 be what some other people are

wot are u lot talking about. This phone does exactly wot it says on

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.

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

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).

send or receive media messages or access O2 active. Despite putting
on settings for media messaging still couldnt send or receive media

replaced the SIM card- still same problems! Sound was dreadful too-
could not hear ringtone if it rang in a crowd! In the end took it back
to the shop and got a refund - as far as I was concerned the phone was
faulty. They told me in the shop that they had not had any other problems
with any other Ice phones, but after seeing these reviews i am not so
sure...DO NOT BUY!!!!!! Thinking abot the SE K750i or the Nokia 6230i
???? Neither could be worse than the Ice.

this is possibly the best phone available on the market, i paid just
£50 for mine at o2 and got both the free bluetooth headset 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 seen.

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!
