 Classic Style Writing February 3, 2010
Mark A. Ladd (Wichita,KS USA)
First hand experience is crucial in fountain pens selection! No one pen writes or feels like another. The description and application possibilities of the pen made it a premium choice for a gift to my wife! The writing is smooth and effortless. There is no "breaking in" efforts or wicking problems on the disbursement of ink. Absolutely incredible for the price! Would recommend to anybody wishing to buy for themselves or for their most favorite person.
my favorite pen February 2, 2010

I love my black Waterman Phileas. It writes beautifully and feels well balanced in my hand. I am (it pains me to admit) careless of my possessions - this pen has been dropped, shaken and occasionally stepped on. I carry it with me everywhere in my bag or pocket. The barrel and cap are scuffed, but still look pretty good after several years of hard use - no chips or cracks, and the gold is still shiny. It has *never* leaked. The cartridges are a snap to change, and once the new ink is flowing it never skips or blotches, even on cheap paper. My Phileas has a medium nib, which is rather bold. I also like to use a fine nib Phileas pen at times - my writing seems neater - but the medium is my "workhorse" pen.

Theres not much to be said about a Waterman pen. The name Waterman says it all. As far as the seller goes, service was very prompt. I needed this pen by a certain date and had it way before that time. Again, the name Waterman speaks for itself. Enough said.
 How you react to a pen may depend on the width of the nib -- Phileas Medium November 19, 2009

I ordered and received my Phileas pen, and at first could not find the cartridge or the converter, so I looked under where the pen was and voilà! When I tried writing with it, the nib was a bit broader than I had expected. I had forgotten to look at my old pens, and noticed later that they are fine nib. However, I hope to get used to my new pen. It is my first Waterman.
One more thing: the converter has very little space for ink. The manufacturers might want to replace it with one with more ink capacity.
Something else that might influence the performance of a fountain pen is whether or not the ink is fresh. Today I bought a bottle of ink locally (I didn't want it to spill in the mail) and I won't say the brand. It wrote much better. I think the new ink had something to do with that. It wasn't Waterman's ink, so there goes the theory "use the same brand of pen and ink".
After several weeks, I got used to the Phileas fountain pen, medium nib. It's a question of not pushing (I've been using a ballpoint too long) the pen but letting it glide over the paper. Now I just love writing with it. I still prefer a fine nib, however. It's a pity Amazon doesn't have the Phileas with a fine nib, it's such a comfortable pen.
Feb. 8, 2010 -- I bought this pen for much less than its current price -- unless the new price is a mistake and it comes down again in a week or so.
 Technically a good pen, but not recommended August 18, 2009

I'll start from the middle, and then work my way out. The "innards" of this fountain pen are outstanding. In terms of ink delivery and smoothness of writing, this pen is an all-star.
There are a few little but annoying problems with the Waterman Phileas, however. First of all, the nib that is supplied with the pen, a "medium" nib, writes too thickly for my taste. And replacement nibs are expensive. Second, I find the body of the pen a bit too narrow. (I am a medium-sized adult male with a medium-sized hand, so maybe this wouldn't be an issue for you.) Third, the body of the pen is plastic, and so it feels cheap, and starts looking cheap and plasticky after a few months of use. The cap is plastic, too. (Most high-end, traditional fountain pen bodies are made of metal.)
So, in sum, the actual writing ability of this fountain pen is excellent. In other areas, however, I feel this pen leaves a bit to be desired.
