They could do it better

by agogale , Oct 11 '01
Pros: thin, goodlooking
Cons: reception
I bought a T28s 1 year ago as my first mobile phone and in the first period i found it very good.

It's very short (apart the antenna), thin, light and it can be put in your pocket or a little bag!

The menu is very easy to use,...

Ericsson MP3 handsfree

by krisjohn , Oct 03 '00
Pros: The next generation in convergent audio technology
Cons: as with any merged products there are some compromises
When I bought the Ericsson MP3 handsfree kit I had two very specific requirements of it. The first was that I wanted to be able to tell when my mobile was ringing while I was walking down the street listening to loud music through headphones. The...

More powerful than I need

by doreiwolf , Jun 01 '01
Pros: Compact, flexible, light.
Cons: None so far.
Having suffered with an Alcatel phone for quite some time, I was happy to 'test drive' the T28s for work purposes.

First impressions are mixed. It's compact,slim and light, which is good. However the 'lock' that keeps the fliptop closed...

Very small with some drawbacks

by european , Jun 29 '01
Pros: Very compact, vibration alarm, voice dialing
Cons: Poor battery life, sluggish user interface, large antenna sticking out
My second Ericsson - I got it for its small size and the integrated vibration alarm which is not typical for this size.

The feature list is quite standard: Phone book functions, list of last calls/last numbers dialled/missed calls, ring tone...

Problem Central

by wildroses , Sep 05 '00
Pros: Ericsson has good service centers.
Cons: Keeps breaking.
The Ericsson T28s is the first mobile phone I have purchased. And may well be the last Ericsson I purchase.

Only if you're lucky...(Updated)

by zzami , Oct 19 '00
Pros: A very classy and high performing phone
Cons: Only if your T28s won't suffer from manufacturing defects
This is my sixth Ericsson phone, having previously owned the EH 237, GH 337, 388, 688 and GA 318. I wasn't consciously looking for an Ericsson mobile phone since I had been traditionally an Ericsson user. In fact, I was seriously considering the Nokia...

by Jay_Lin , Sep 23 '00
Pros: Small, many many features
Cons: none
The new T-28 pcs phone by Ericson is more than just an ordinary cellular phone, it is a phone that opens up the world to its users. What i mean by this is it is able to be used in many countries throughout the world that use the 1800 MHZ range that our...

Newborn Cellphone

by Killa_T , Nov 12 '00
Pros: light, compact, great sound
Cons: weak vibrate, really small buttons
I've had this phone for under a day, having previously used/borrowed 4 different Ericssons, 4 Nokias and a Panasonic. In short, it's brilliant!

Everything works well, and once you get used to the interface (I'm getting there...) you realise...

T28: Stylish, Functional and almost Flawless

by incoherent99 , Aug 14 '00
Pros: Almost everything - especially style, size/weight & features
Cons: None significant
I bought my Ericsson T28s after much deliberation, research and comparison between it and other similar high-end phones, such as the Nokia 8210 and the Motorola V3688 (Australian model designations). I have friends with both these phones, and I could not...

ericsson t28 - the truth!

by niki-p , Aug 04 '00
Pros: tetris & solataire
Cons: the phone itself
okay, so far every reviewer has reccomended this phone, and simply on the basis that it has a 'cool' blue backlight, its 'cute' it 'vibrates'. Well all of these may be true, but the simple fact is, the phone is useless! Having used and sold many of...

Ericsson T28/s - THE phone

I recently purchased this on a contract, from www.mobileshop.com on the Leisure 500 (vodafone) tarrif 2 weeks ago, and since then on, have NEVER regreted it.

The phone was free, and came witha £12 month contract.

For The Price And The Function you Get, It's Good.

by swngeow , Mar 25 '01
Pros: A Top Class Mobile Phone.
Cons: Fragile, Very Fragile.
I brought this phone in Singapore, for around S'pore dollars of $500 which is around USD$130. For most of the Asean here, T-28s have terrible reputation, especially with the mic design that stick to the flip cover, fragile design :-)

Love my Ericsson T28s

by tonyboy , Nov 23 '01
Pros: Small and elegant. Very good reception even in buildings.
Cons: Included battery has short life.
A small phone with great reception? Yeah right, huh? Well this has blown away my perception that a small phone can't deliver on near perfect reception.

FIRST EXPERIENCE
I first picked up a T28 World phone on my business trips to the...

Go Nokia

by pen_smith , Oct 01 '00
Pros: looks, size
Cons: reliability, not easy to use
I have long been a customer of Nokia phones, in fact, a customer since 1991. Late in 1999, I thought that I would trade my Nokia 6160 for something different. The local shop said that the Ericsson T28 was the way to go and I took their advise. Well,...

Light and Cute, yet Full-Featured

by ianswett , Aug 21 '00
Pros: Size, Style, Vibrate mode, Battery life
Cons: No wireless web/WAP
I bought this because it was on special at the Pac Bell store for $130 plus tax(on $330). I would never pay $300 for a phone, but since this one is so small and includes a vibrate mode, I felt it was worth the extra over the cheap Nokia. I've had no...

Ericsson T28S - one sexy phone!

by mariaandalice , Sep 20 '00
Pros: cute and user-friendly
Cons: none that we've found!
This is the 4th mobile we've owned. This one we got without a contract (so much cheaper!) and we love it. We've now had it 8 months, and it's the best phone we've ever had. The voice recognition facility is super, the memory is excellent, the...

Pros: Style and Functionality included in the one phone, GREAT customer service

T28s - small but flawed

by rennsport , Jun 13 '01
Pros: Small, light, great features
Cons: Slow interface, fragile flip, buggy firmware, small screen
The T-28s is a very light and compact phone. Its features are relatively standard for today's phone such as vibrating alert, profile settings, melody-editing, voice-activation, etc. It falls behind on the lack of calendar and basic organizer function...

Small and Great!

by peterjm , Jul 20 '01
Pros: Small, cute
Cons: Bad battery life
The T28 is possibly the best looking phone on the market. It is very small, extremely light and is very easy to use.It has a great design, which is only surpassed by the Nokia 8250 in my opinion. It offers voice activated dialling, a massive phonebook,...

Only for people looking to waste money

by ajhamvar , Jun 27 '01
Pros: Very suave looking, flashy and KEWL!!
Cons: Bad piece of equipment
I bought the Ericsson T-28s and was hoping it would be the best upgrade to my loyal and trusty Nokia 6160. Boy, was I wrong?? Not only did the T-28 not perform as good as the 6160, but it broke down within 2 months of normal usage. After examining,...

Fantastic Little Phone

by canuck_bedu , Jun 02 '01
Pros: Small size, decent battery life, range of accessories, excellent menu system
Cons: None in my opinion
I have used many phones from Motorola, Nokia and Ericcson and this is my hands down favorite. There are plenty of handy accessories to make it even more useful. My favorites are the Bluetooth headset & adapter and the travel micro charger.
