Sony Ericsson A1228c Cell Phone

Pros: Small, ergonomic design. Loads of features. Great performance. Free!
Cons: None.

Cellular/Wireless/Digital Phones. Call them what you will, but they are as common place today as are pen and paper. Probably even more so. In this ever growing competitive world, manufactures are cramming more and more features into smaller and smaller...

Pros: Available at no cost through many plans.
Cons: No internal vibrator. Mediocre durability.

My Ericsson A1228c was free with my cellular phone plan. I had the option of upgrading to a different phone for a small fee, but declined to do so after reviewing the options available with the A1228c. The phone is large enough to be handled comfortably,...

Pros: Free, Seems to have lots of features, if you can get them to work.
Cons: Poor battery life, Poor reliability, No chat board and UGLY!!

My wife and I have two of these phones that we got free for upgrading our plan. We had a couple of Nokia phones prior to this colossal blunder and I sure do miss them.
First of all, they don't seem to operate consistently. For Instance,the call log...

Pros: Affordable - Easy to use
Cons: Well, it's cheap.

I bought this phone out of necessity. It was the cheapest phone available at the time and that should have been the first red flag. Although it is a phone and it does function, it doesn't function well and isn't very dependable.
The battery...

Pros: Cellular Phone Use Only
Cons: Manufacturer's Claimed Features Not Functional

With the proliferation of the mobile web, mobile office and SMS messaging, on the surface the A1228c appears to be a very cost-effective solution. This turns out not to be the case. The owners' manual claims browser capability and mobile office...

Pros: CHEAP!! And its a cell phone
Cons: Drop calls,bad design, numbers get lost in it

I have owned the Ericsson a1228c for about eight months now and I have no good things to say about it.
First you can't get hardly any add ons for it. You can't get any face plates or anything of that sort. It drops calls, it does not save your...

Pros: Full featured, easy to use, good battery life, free!
Cons: None yet.

I just renewed my Verizon service for two years with a change of plan and they gave my wife and I the Ericsson A1228. The phone has great battery life, good sound quality and an easy to use and read display. It has a 200 entry phone book that is more...

Pros: Great value; excellent design, features, size; ease of use; performance
Cons: "Web-ready" in name only; Web not ready for cell phones, but nice try!

I got this upgrade gratis courtesy of Verizon (I had a 5-yr-old Nokia 918--looked like a brick). The A1228c is almost a 2-yr-old phone technology wise but it still favorably compares with some of the newer phones in its class. I have no complaints about...

Pros: The display screen,ringer tones,style,performance and price.
Cons: Text and voice mail alerts are not loud enough.

The A1228C is basically a good phone.The only thing that I don't like is the alert tones for incoming text and voice mail.I am on the Verizon prepaid plan and don't have any major complaints.Sending a text message to another Verizon phone is a breeze,but...

Pros: none
Cons: everything

The service is really poor. There are problems in maintaining the call lists,non user-friendly interface plus the battery is very heavy. As a result the whole phone is difficult to carry.
