Review of Sony Ericsson T28S

When the battery on my faithful Ericsson GH688 finally died, I realized that it was almost as expensive to replace the battery as to but a new phone. I went for the later option. I was so pleased with the performance of the 688, I never doubted the reliability of Ericsson and bought the T28. The phone is exceptionally light. It’s so light it almost feels hollow. This is mainly because they are using a very thin battery, which despite some ...
...battery. This is great for reducing bulk and means you really can carry it in your shirt pocket. For a small phone, it’s easy to use and benefits from a reliable voice activation feature. This is a great feature, but you tend to look a bit stupid in a public place saying someone’s name into your phone. It has an "active flip", which means the bit of plastic that covers the keypad springs open and has a microphone on the end. This "active ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T28S

This phone was my second one, I’m really not sure how much it costs as I got mine free with a contract. It is really light about 60 grams. It comes in a few colours, grey, beige, and fern green. It has a great design although the flip can get in the way. And it has a huge aerial. It has a standby time of about 180 minuites which isnt very long, i'm not sure how long the talktime is. The one thing that bugged me was it was so unreliable, you could ...
...it would just turn off. The worst I experienced is while phoning someone I could hear them but I couldn’t be heard. Even though its screen was only a thin slit it had 2 pretty cool games on it. Tetris, as we all know I don’t need to explain. While the Tetris game was good you had to hold the phone sideways and the corner of the flap digs into your hand but it was a very clear screen and you could see what you were doing. The second game was solitaire, ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T28S

This phone is brilliant. Right from the off, it will satisfy your needs from a phone and constantly surprise you with nice features. Lets start with the fun. You get two games.."only two", I hear you moan...oh but what 2 games to choose, Solitare (patience to some of you) and tetris. These two games are addictive and you will wonder what you ever did on those long bus journeys home. It has voice activated dialing, which you may say you won't use, ...
...for the voice dailing, when that number rings you it plays it to tell you who is ringing you before it begins the ring tone. How impressed will your friends be when they here "Dave's Mobile" before the phone even starts ringing. There is of course a veritable feast of ring tones, not to mention some slots to record you own in. there are a million and one web sites online to get them from. Try www.mobilemelodies.com if you want to change you mundane ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T28S

Heralded as the smallest Ericsson mobile phone ever, the T28s has proved to be an excellent all round phone for me. The T28s is wonderfully small, extremely light, and despite its dimensions is packed with more features than you are ever likely to need. My T28s came with a Li-polymer battery which is good for about 60hours standby use, but not outstanding these days, however credit is due to just how thin and light the battery is which clearly helps ...
...the T28s is the active flip, no need to press a button to receive or end a call, simply open or close the flip. Vibrating alert is also present, however it has proved to be a little week, but all things considered fairly noticeable on such a small device. I have only experienced the phones software 'freezing' on one occasion, shortly after I bought one. Since then the T28s software has been a pleasure to use, very clear, and a well presented manual ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T28S

After a couple of weeks with my snazzy T28s, imagine the words I was using when the thing went dead - totally dead. Not happy. When I phoned to complain, there didn't seem any surprise on the customer service adviser, nor any dispute. A new phone was despached to me and the old one taken away within a couple of working days. Not bad, but still not a perfect start to Ericsson ownership. And now the good news, it's great! So small is this phone ...
...without damaging your merchandise when you sit down. Yes, the ariel is bulky by comparison to some other makes, but the body of the phone is so small, you don't care - that's how cool you look! It's a flip phone and the action takes a little getting used to as it's a bit stiff at first. Push the little "button" and the flip opens. If, like me, you have the voice activation option in play, the phone blips and asks for the name of the caller you want ...
