Sony Ericsson R280LX Cell Phone

Pros: internet access
Cons: none

I'm not very knowledgeable about electronic products. I guess that's why I was really amazed at all the things the Ericsson R280LX telephone can do. I was not aware that internet phones even existed so I was quite surprised when my son purchased...

Cons: Small screen

I Give In To The Dark Side

I didn't want to buy a cellular phone. Really, I didn't. But then I spent a month here in DC, where even small children and senior citizens are wired 24/7. And so I've given in, and bought myself an...

Pros: great wireless phone, especially for the price.
Cons: does not have a vibrating battery.

Now here is a great quality phone for less! the ericsson R280lx is one of few internet-ready wireless phones. The "pocket net" phone has been selling across the U.S. like mad. I have seen many people use this phone in my area. If you go to AT&T, you can...

Pros: Cheap, neat looks, cheap, web-enabled, feature-packed... did I mention cheap?
Cons: Some confusing features that aren't even necessary, no vibrating ringer, primitive battery

Every so often being the techie geek has its payoffs... like free dinners. You see, a friend of mine was looking for a cell phone, and she promised me a free dinner if I'd help her out. Well, help I did, and the meal was exquisite.

Pros: Features; price; wireless Internet ready; aesthetics
Cons: Fairly poor voice quality, accessories hard to find

I bought my Ericsson R-280LX on impulse. I came across an Internet deal that basically gave me the phone for free, if I would sign up for AT&T service worth $29.99 per month or more. I wanted a phone, so I succumbed to temptation and did the deed....

Pros: Ease of use, smaller size, battery length.
Cons: Can be confusing at first!

With two small children in day care, I need to be reached in a moment's notice. I have bought a variety of wireless telephones from my local AT&T store. I like this Ericsson model the best. It is easy to use, has a good battery life, and there is only...

Cons: Poor Ergonomics, No Vibrate, Battery Life, Bulky, Durability, High Radiation

This phones is one of two that works with AT&T's PocketNet Service. They are now including this service with most of their voice packages. As there was no additional cost involved (for unlimited wireless internet usage) I opted for a CDPD compatible...

Pros: Great clarity, the menus are easy to use, charges fast
Cons: Accessories are expensive, a little weird to figure out how to turn on for the first time

I bought this product because I didn't pay anything for it. I wanted something to carry with me on the go, and something that was small, had a good service plan, and most importantly, would accept my credit to get in the first place. So while browsing...

Pros: Internet, Price
Cons: Bulky, Bad reception, Low quality

My Experience
I bought the Ericsson R-280 LX last September. I wanted a cell phone and was initially attracted to a Motorola because of its size. But then I saw this Ericsson for half the price, and it came with free internet access. I...

Pros: lots of great features...
Cons: so many that it may take a while to learn how to use them all.

Well, I finally did it...jumped off the cliff into the abyss of wireless!! It was a long time coming and it took a long time for me to make the decisions of which provider to use and which phone to buy. I ended up choosing the Ericsson R-280LX, mainly...

Pros: design, sound, web enabled... etc...
Cons: lacks vibrating feature

I just had to have a cell phone... My husband and I travel frequently from our home near Scranton, PA up to Canada... and I wanted a phone in case we broke down through upstate New York. So, after weeks of *nagging*, my husband finally broke down and...

Pros: Great phone, extremely inexpensive, nice feature set, excellent included content
Cons: Network coverage can be spotty; it is new after all

You can't say enough about a sleek looking phone that fits nicely in your hand, has a decent battery life, a derth of features, access the internet, AND costs less than a hundred bucks.

I love this phone. I had been considering a two-way...

Pros: Lightweight, easy to use, voice command features
Cons: no vibrating ringing option, battery life could be better

A few weeks back, my husband and I were faced with yet another decision in the electronic field. We had to get a new cellular telephone so that we could upgrade our AT&T Wireless service to another plan that was more convenient and efficient for us....

Pros: Nicely built phone, good "feel" to keys, decent battery
Cons: Confusing user interface, must switch between voice and data modes

The Ericsson R-280LX is a solid phone that caters to both occasional cell phone users as well as power users.

Initially, I purchased the phone to try out AT&T's Digital PocketNet service here in the Washington, D.C. area. Having been a...

Pros: Best choice for ATT Pocketnet service
Cons: Phone has several annoying flaws

The Ericsson R-280LX is a very suitable phone, yet there are better choices out there (for voice use at least).

Overview

I purchased my Ericsson the day it was made available for ATT pocketnet service. I was so eager to...
