Sony Ericsson KF-788 Cell Phone

Pros: Vibrating alert, voice calling
Cons: Short stand-by time, the display, the software, the keys

The new Ericsson T18 for GSM has arrived in Europe. The form factor is very similar to the previous 788. The size is the same (105x49x24mm, 4.1x1.9x0.95in). The weight is 146g (5.2oz) compared to 135g (5oz) for the 788. There is also a similar flip cover...

Pros: Small size, active flip
Cons: loud vibration, small display, annoying bugs

I've had the Ericsson KF788 for almost a year now activated with my local provider Cantel/Rogers AT&T in Toronto, Canada. The phone was an upgrade from my previous Ericsson 388 and I choose it for it's small size, active flip and silent vibrating...

Pros: Lightweight with many features
Cons: Buttons are just a bit small

I love this little phone! I have had a number of different cell phones and this one is by far the best. (Actually I only paid $15.00 for mine when I traded in an old phone) It is so small and lightweight, along with having a clip on the back, that you...

Pros: size, weight, features
Cons: display needs some refinement

I like to wear my phone; therefore, it has to be small and light. The ericsson flip series of mobile phones is a great example. It is similar in size to the motorolla startac and the new samsung flip that's available. not as light as the startac but...

Pros: Compact and Lightweight
Cons: Unfriendly design and display

I have used the Ericsson 788 for over a year with mixed results. I was first attracted by its compact size and design. The body of the phone measures about 1.5 inch by 3 inches, and 3/4 inch thick (add an extra inch for the protruding antenna). The...

Pros: Size
Cons: Phonebook

This phone is got to be the easiest cell phone I have ever used. It always gets a strong signals and works great. I use it about 2 hours a day. My charging is once a day and it has a very strong battery. I belevie this phone works better than thr Star...

Pros: Compact size, excellent feature set, great reception
Cons: Terrible battery life, screen is a little small, menu organization could be much better

IMPORTANT NOTE: I HAD THE LX-788 WHICH IS THE SAME EXACT PHONE, ONLY IT'S LOCKED TO BE USED ONLY ON AT&T IN NYC.

An important lesson was learned in the three months I had this phone. It's one that most cellular users learn very easily,...

Pros: Small and functional
Cons: Better phones available now, obscure UI, antenna broke off, tinny sound

Let me start off by saying this is yet another phone I broke the antenna off of -- I did it three times in three years. I remember this one vividly. It fell on the Milwaukee, WI hotel room floor directly on the antenna. I was able to tape the antenna...

Pros: Tiny, good signal
Cons: Flip seems flimsy and may easily break

My review is actually on the LX588 Ericsson flip phone, however, there was no product listing for it and these two phones are very similar.

This is a great little phone. The voice quality is exceptional and signal strength is comparable to...

Pros: Holds 200 names, 10 hours battery life, 120 hours stand by.
Cons: Doesn't work, cheaply made, just plain ol' BAD

I went to RadioShack, I was in the market for a new phone, since I had an Analog Startac 3000. I saw the Ericsson KF 788 and found the family plan, two ones for 100 dollars ($50 after rebate), plus UNLIMITED free calls between the two family phones and...

Pros: Small size, programmable ring, good reception
Cons: Short battery life, buttons can be pressed accidently

I recently started a new wireless phone plan with Pac Bell and had the choice of getting a free Ericsson KF-788 or Nokia 5190. I had owned the Nokia phone before and felt like a change, so I went with the Ericsson.

My feelings towards it are...

Pros: Long Battery , Very Tiny
Cons: Small Number Pad

I am an owner of the Ericsson KF788 and i love this phone and I am glad that i made this purchase. It only cost me 10 dollars through a corporate plan but the fact is compared to my old Nokia this phone is out of this world. I can talk longer without...

Pros: Very Small, Looks and Works Great
Cons: None

I got my Ericsson KF-788 about two weeks ago for about $31.00 used on Ebay. All I can say is that I got one heck of a deal! I love this phone!

Previously I have used a Motorola Microtac 650e. The phone served me well, but I decided I needed...

Pros: Long life, Excellent clarity, Pocket-size!
Cons: Hard to understand manual.

I purchased this phone from CellularOne Boston. I had no idea what I was in for. The keys on the phone look small and hard to press, but they aren't. The easy to read screen makes set-up and menu-browsing a breeze. An extra-special feature was the...

Pros: Size, Convenience, Menu
Cons: None

The Ericsson KF 788 is a remarkable phone with a stylish design. The little phone weighs in at 5.4 oz and is available in four colors (pewter, cabernet, hunter and indigo). This great phone offers many great functions that can be tailored to suit your...
