Sony Ericsson KF-788 Cell Phone

Pros: Numerous features; extremely small and portable; digital
Cons: Key pads may be too small for some to use easily; need to remember where you put it---it is very small and easy to lose sight of; receiver is small and you may need to move phone slightly to hear clearly

Pros: Small size, lightweight, vibrating alert
Cons: Short battery life, poor menuing system, small display

I have been using this phone on AT&T's Orlando, Florida network for about six months now. It is the third cellular phone I have owned, the first being a Oki car phone, and the second being a slightly older Nokia handheld cell phone. I have also...

Pros: inexpensive plans, lightweight, clear sound
Cons: no "purty colors"

I was always a cell phone hater before i bought my ericsson. This phone is so light and portable, in stylish black, with inexpensive family plans that give us the service we need with a great price! With our family plan, all calls from family phone to...

Pros: Highly configurable, Great sound quality, Tiny size.
Cons: Inoperable at the bottom of the ocean.

I've been using the Ericsson KF788 since late December, 1999, and the phone has worked like a charm.

Before I discuss the features, I need to mention that the KF788 I own is not the same cell phone pictured to the left of this review. The 788...

Pros: comes with every feature
Cons: doesn't display time and date

Ericsson KF-788 is the best cellphone to date. So small and weigh's next to nothing this cellphone comes packed with every single feature you would expect in a phone. Not only that, but this phone is backed by Ericsson who has the best warranty in the...

Pros: tiny, good sound, good reception, tri-band
Cons: strange behaviour

I wanted the convenience of a cell phone, but I didn't want to come across as some sort of show-off with one hanging off my belt everywhere I went. I wanted one small enough to slip into my pocket!

I got the KF788 because it was the least...

Pros: has many options I like
Cons: none really

I was a Cell One customer for two years and broke my old old phone. I asked them what I can get for under 100 (digital only). They said that for subscribers like me they give 100 dollars off a new phone. I paid 39 plus shipping. I picked KF 788 because...

Pros: small, sleak, nice looking
Cons: expensive, fragile, poor reception

I purchased this phone before it ever came out. THis was as some people can remember the phone used in James Bond. I was really excited as it was one of the smaller phones out at the times. I needed a cellular phone, and i...

Pros: Small, sleek, easy to use
Cons: small screen, small buttons, no extendable antenna

This is the first cell phone I've bought since the days of those old motorola flip-phone clunkers. Naturally, the KF 788 is better in just about every way I can think of.
I bought the phone originally because of its size. The Nokia phones were too...

Pros: size, clarity, vibrating alert
Cons: battery life, low volume

I've had the Ericsson KF788 since March, 1999 and can report that this phone works good. There are, however, two glaring negatives with the phone which I will elaborate on later.

I was debating between the KF788 or a Motorola Startac ST7790...

Pros: Many features for small size
Cons: Hard to hear in crowded places

I've owned my Ericsson for seven months now, but I still think it's the best phone I could've gotten. First of all, let me tell you all the features. It has Caller ID, Voice mail, Call Waiting, Blocking, Forwarding, stores up to 100 names and...

Pros: Small, lightweight
Cons: Less then 2 hours talk time

The Ericsson KF788 is a great performer in a suprisingly small package. This if my fourth phone, and by far the best of the lot. It is small, lightweight, and fits easily in a jacket pocket. I find that the belt clip is great for clipping it to an...

Pros: All listed above
Cons: Ring and vibrator wastes battery

I wrote a review about this phone that was completely wrong. The man at radio shack programmed the phone differently. This phone is amazing. In it, you can hold up to 200 names. The phone is small, lightweight and just over all good. 10 hour battery life...

Pros: the flip - great for a purse!
Cons: could use a longer antenna for better reception

I love having a cell phone. I'm always available if my son's preschool should call, or if the babysitter needs me - no leaving several numbers of places I'll be at! My husband can reach me any time for even the most trivial things, and my friends can...

Pros: compact, light-weight, vibe option
Cons: flimsy flip-cover, heats up too quickly

I had originally purchased an Ericsson 788 two months ago...I've since switched to a Motorola Startac 7797.

The Good:

~small size
~quick charging time (1 hr)
~very clear signal
~easy access volume keys
(on the...
