Ericsson A1018s

I got this phone free, and for free it is great! It is almost totally indestructable! I threw it at my brother really hard, but he moved out of the way, and the phone smashed against a brick wall. All that happened was the battery fell off and the casing came apart a bit. I clipped it back together - good as new! Also, I dropped it right the way down 2 flights of concrete steps, and again all that happened was the battery fell off! I have recently got a new phone, a Nokia 5210, which is better, but when I tried to take the Ericsson apart I found it very difficult, coz it was so well built. The bad points about this phone are the sheer size of it - it's like a house ...  Read the complete review

Ericsson A-1018S that has appeared in our market more of a year back is a popular model already. For this time the device had time to confirm reliability and quality of production of company Ericsson, that in a combination to the low price makes it rather attractive. The telephone is very qualitative and precise executes the main applicability. I had different emotions - as positive, and not so. The body is made from qualitative and pleasant to the touch plastics of gray color. The offered firm overlays look very nicely and are made rather good. But phone has bulky form of body, which does not allow enough is comfortable to store the telephone in pockets of a ...  Read the complete review

“I’m on the bus!” Mobile phones can be annoying no matter how many features they include, but the A1018s takes the biscuit. The sheer size of the thing is ridiculous, and the ariel is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen in the world of consumer electronics. I actually paid for my A1018s with 60 of Coca-Cola’s finest ring pulls (money was tight!) but I can say that in my opinion the phone isn’t even worth the price of 1 can of pop. The screen is depressing and trying to send a message with the thing is nigh on impossible, due to buttons that feel like rubber – oh wait, they actually are rubber! The actual idea of any ...  Read the complete review

This is a good old war horse that's pretty long in the tooth now - it is not exactly the most "up-to-date" "high spec" "modern" of mobiles around these days, however its still not a bad buy! Advantages: The signal is pretty good and it's excellent value for money now-a-days. Changable fascias Ring tone composer Disadvantages: Weighs 163g! Text messages get deleted automatically after 72 hours....which can be annoying!! Battery life is nothing to write home about - normally around a day or two if you use your phone a fair bit. Fascias are not very easy to come by now for this phone - ...  Read the complete review

The Ericsson isn't the best looking phone on the market, but at this price, it's not to be sniffed at. My father also has a different phone of a similar price, and to be honest, the Ericsson is a lot better. The battery that came with mine was the "heavier than the phone" sort, and as a result has an impressive battery life. After I left it on overnight, it ran for a good three days before it beeped "battery low" at me (that’s 24 hours X 3 days = 72 hour) It is shocking how much power the backlight takes up, with the light permanently on, after a full charge, the battery lasted less than two days. My advice - leave it ...  Read the complete review
