Advantages: Small and Sexy
Disadvantages: A bit fragile

...The Ericsson T28 is small and very slick... it's a far better design than the other Ericsson phones, even the new one, the Ericsson R320... This phone is not only small but it is very light... weighing in at 83g, a light weight contender!!! But I do find that this phone is rather weak and fragile... if you put it in your hand aand sqeeze, you can feel it breaking... unlike the Sony CMD Z1, which can take a lot of punishment... The T28 comes with 14 ring tones and a composer to compose your own tunes, obviously! The battery stand by time is 50hrs, the bettery talk time is 210mins and it takes 120mins to fully recharge... It has a flip cover... rather sexy... The only phone i'll get instead of the Ericsson T28 is the Sony Z5 and maybe the Nokia 8210...... Read review

Advantages: Style, size, quality of calls.
Disadvantages: Battery lifetime

...I purchased the T28 after receiving 3 good years service from an older Ericsson (the GH688). My experience of Ericsson mobile phones are that they are easy to use with a well thought out menu system, and that the sound quality and signal strength are top notch. On the downside they are well beaten by others when it comes to styling. With the T28 they seem to have addressed the problem with style. It looks good and is very light. The quality of calls is as good as you'd expect from Ericsson and the disply while small is crisp and clear. Buttons are small so if you are into SMS'ing you'd want to buy the chatboard acessory. The standard battery time is disappointing compared with other phones but then the batteris is so much smaller. All in all, another good phone from Ericsson.... Read review

Advantages: Great design and slim
Disadvantages: Touchscreen interface not so good and indicates having poor battery life

...More new smartphone generation by Sony Ericsson after P990i type and P1 type, more features like 8GB on board memory, great walkman player, autofocus with dual-LED lights, Wi-fi and other else that similar with the type of Sony Ericsson smartphone before like music recognition, media manager, handwriting recognition, video call, built in camera 3,2 megapixels, GPRS web wherever for internet browsing.

Advantages: Good Size + Great Weight
Disadvantages: Lacking in Style + Bad Quality Screen

...The Sony Ericsson P800 was the first Smartphone to be brought out by Sony Ericsson, and at the time about two years ago it was great. The design of the phone at the time was good, and even the weight was good!!! Now Sony Ericsson have had the P900 and the P910i, the two newer versions of this phone, which are superb, but the only down side on all these phones i have mentioned, is the battery life, it's absolutely terrible, lasting a maximum of a day or two if you are lucky!!!! The actual application side of the phone is reasonable, with calender's, notepad's etc. The speed of the phone is quite slow, but what do you expect it's a phone/PDA. The newer versions of the Sony Ericsson P800, are the P900 and the P910i, but even know they have just stopped selling them because they are bringing out an even newer version called the Sony Ericsson...

Advantages: 3.2 mega pixel and is different
Disadvantages: Bit larger than any other phone

...The first thing to note on the Sony Ericsson P1i is the large 2.6" 240x320 pixel TFT display - this is now a transflective panel which means that it can be read more easily outdoors. The Sony Ericsson P1 is a 3G Symbian smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard which can be regarded as a replacement for the troubled Sony Ericsson P990i On the back it has a 3.2 megapixel (yes a 3.2) with auto focus and flash. it has a 160mb internal memory and can be replaced with a bigger one. One major drawback is that the Sony Ericsson P1i doesn't support HSDPA, and also the tri-band GSM/single band UMTS network support is a little limiting. The Sony Ericsson P1i is only a little larger and heavier than the M600 at 106 x 55 x 17mm and 124 grams. Battery life is quoted as 10 hours talk/18 days standby on GSM, 3.5 hours talk/14 days standby on 3G.... Read review

Advantages: Data capabilities, design
Disadvantages: Aerial

...This is a surprising phone from Ericsson. It is CURVY. Ericsson usually make square phones that are usually dull and boring. This phone is an exception. The complete solution for voice and data. The Ericsson data phone GS 18, with its built-in data/fax modem, is specifically designed for those who need an easy to use mobile phone and mobile office solution. The GS 18 comes complete with an RS232 cable to connect to a PC or laptop making working on the move easier than ever. The aerial looks tacky and weak.... Read review

Advantages: easier sms-ing
Disadvantages: not standard

...This is a little known but extremely useful mobile phone accessory - and one that is available for avout £10. The Ericsson chatboard plugs directly into the base of the mobile and supplies a QWERTY keyboard to enable you to type SMS messages quicker and more accurately than via the traditional multi key press method. There is a fractional time delay between the character being input and appearing on the screen but you soon get used to this. I find the chatboard more user friendly that predictive text input but it is not supplied as standard as does have to be carried seperately though it does come with a neat case. The chatboard works with T10/18/28 and other new Ericsson mobiles.... Read review

Advantages: Inbuilt modem and IR port
Disadvantages: RS232 cable does not work with win 98

...I upgraded to the Ericsson SH888 from a Nokia 5110. Immeadiately the increased call quality was noticeable. With only 1 bar signal strength the SH888 gave a clear and sharp phone call. The reason for my upgrade was to use the infrared port and built in modem with my palm top PC and laptop. The Ericsson website has excellent for using the phone in this way. Modem scripts can be downloaded and installed easily and used straight away. The infrared port can be also be used to edit the phone book on the phone and send text messages with the software supplied in the box. My one gripe is that the RS232 cable included in the package will not work with windows 98, meaning my main unit could not be used with the phone. Another problem is that Ericsson refuse to supple Win CE software to edit the phone book except with their own handhelds.... Read review

Advantages: Excellent Ericcson self-fit car kit
Disadvantages: phone has a habit of turning itself off

...I have been using the T18s for about one year now (on the Cellnet network) and reception is excellent compared to earlier phones (have been with Celnett since 1987). My one complaint is that the phone does have the habit of turning itself off on occasions. Ericsson does an excellent self-fit car kit which consists of a cradle to fix to the facia, and a speaker and microphone which fits to the roof-lining of the car just above the drivers ear. The cable is flat, and can easily be pressed into the area between the rubber door surround and the roof lining so it is invisible. In the shops this costs about £120 but I phoned Ericsson direct and it cost me less that £60. It is reliable and also charges the phone battery. Fitting took me less than 30 minutes. the power comes from the cigarette lighter.... Read review

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...The T18 has several advantages: - it's cheap (£50) - vibrating alert - small - much improved interface and screen size over older Ericssons Buts... - the battery life is quite short (claimed to be 100hours but more like 50) - there is no IR connection like on the Nokia - instead you have to spend £100 for a rather poor looking clip on - Ericsson appear to have a tendancy to lose power when the battery is tapped - the reception is not that great Overall Ericsson appear to have got some of the way there but lack the vision of Nokia when it comes to leading the market. It is a good phone and for the price it is good value, but if Ericsson just pushed their R&D a little further they would leading the market in the same way that Nokia does.... Read review
