Ericsson T18s

On the whole a good phone, the Ericsson is let down by it's quiet earpiece, and occasionally complicated menu system. It is all too easy to cancel a text message. Editing numbers is also in the phone book is also a pain, as their is no way of 'scrolling' through entries without knowing the ID number it is stored at on the SIM card. The flip seems quite robust (I had a /Motorola before that had a very flimsy flip). It also has the essential 'vibration' alert, which I couldn't live without, I would say it is a good, but not excellent mobile phone. ...  Read the complete review

The T18s is a nice phone, small and attractive with an active flip. It has voice answering and dialing should you want to use it and comes complete with many functions. It vibrates when told, has a key lock and a few tunes. There is the possibility of making up to 4 of your own tunes which is good, but i would prefer more ready made. It can divert calls and remembers lengths of calls etc. I don't know if it is just my phone, but it seems to switch off on its own if it's in my pocket which is very annoying. It's a good phone but you should get a good Nokia or an Ericsson T28 if you can afford it. ...  Read the complete review

I've owned my Ericsson T18s for just over a month now. I upgraded to a T18 from a Motorola mr. something or other. I am now really into ring tones as I find most of them rather annoying. I just wanted a small phone that I could keep it in my jacket pocket or small handbag. I find the voice activated/vibrate alert feature very useful. The only feature I dislike about the phone is the letters on the keypad. I think that being such a small phone they should have been printed in bold white as the numbers instead of grey which is makes it very difficult to read when sending text messages. Overall I am very pleased with its performance to date and at £30 is ...  Read the complete review

I have only one complaint about this phone, maybe it's just MY particular handset, or maybe it's the network (Orange), but I have found this phone VERY annoying at times. When navigating through the menu, when typing a text message, when dialling a number, when doing *anything* that involves using the keypad it often freezes (sometimes for up to five seconds) before responding again. Sometimes I can't tell if it has frozen, or if I just didn't press the key hard enough, so I try pressing it again, and again, and again... then all of a sudden I get half-a-dozen numbers, or a comma when I wanted to type a question mark. My ...  Read the complete review

The T18 is really a good phone for its price range. I've been using one since March, and apart from one problem (which was with the battery rather than the phone) all has been smooth sailing. The menu is quite simple and easy to use, the phone is big enough not to be easily lost, but small enough to qualify as really 'mobile', and the available memory on the sim card is a bonus. I have a chatboard, but that's because it came with the package, and having used it on and off I would advise people that it's not worth getting unless you expect to be using it a lot - you get used to the ericsson's keypad quite quickly, and for most ...  Read the complete review
