Sleek, stylish, sexy and cool (Matrix style) but with an achilies heel, a dodgy button on the side.
I've had a variety of different phones over the past few years, but let me tell you i don't keep going back to them unless i like them.
This phone really is stylish, it's ultra light and can fit in the smallest pocket (the only problem with this is the tendancy to lose it around the house.) Its also remarkably 'expensive looking' for the money, and you really can be the envy of your mates in the pub when they see it.
That said its coolest feature is also one of its let-downs, the phone has a flipdown reciever lid, that moves down by pressing a small button on the side of the phone. I have noticed over time this mechanism has begun to get loose and i wouldn't be surprised if they've had a few returns. Theres also a fantastically useful 'vibrate only' feature, which i ALWAYS use in lectures etc.
There's all the usual features u'd expect of a mobile nowadays, text, divert, callback and a few more. One that i played with in the beginning was the voice activation system in which you say a persons name into the reciever of the phone and the phone automatically dials that number (flash eh?) I have to say though after the initial delight has gone i never use this feature, 'cause although it works you look a bit stupid talking to your phone, especially when you have to (occasionally) repeat yourself.
Reception is reasonably good , although i don't always get a signal in the pub.
Theres also a wealth of games, tetris (surprisingly good) and solitaire (although i'll never understand it my girlfriend won't get off the bloody thing!)
The text feature is reliable, although at times scrolling through them takes a while - if anything the've tried to put too MANY features on such a small phone.
There's also a really useful battery power indicator which tells you in hours and minutes, how much standby and talk time you have left (excellent.) The battery is remarkably longlasting (about 1 and a half to 2 days) for such a slimline phone and the indicators reliable.
I must confess i'm on my third phone, the first one i dropped down the toilet, the second spilt a glass of water on... (they're not waterproof)
Oh, and just one more annoying feature, if the phone is switched off and someone calls, unless they leave a voice message or text, there is no record of their calling!
All in all, its a well put together,easy to use, stylish phone and if you can put up with what are (honestly) mild flaws, its well worth the money.

Sorry, but that's a bit of a bizarre criticism - NO mobile can tell if someone's calling when it's switched off. Voicemail and/or texts are the only way the network can pass the any message on, once you switch the phone on.
If you miss a call when the phone is switched on, the T28 will tell you.
