Advantages: Thin, short good style!

Disadvantages: 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, unfortunately the software is a little slow.

From the Phone Book list of options you can create groups of friends, very useful if you must send the same message fastly to a lot of people, write down email addresses and send emails from the email addresses option.

You can memory 200 phone number between the sim card memory and phone memory and every call can be associate to a different ringtone (there are 4 editable different ringtones and a lot of "standard" ones).

Very useful is the vibracall (the phone start vibrating when you receive a call or a message) and you must use it if you are studying in a library or during a lecture or a meeting in order not to disturb your nieghbours! The clock and chronometer are very useful,too

Now the problems!

Some friends of mine bought bad phones that only after a few days turned off without restarting!
The battery is not so powerful (only 50 hours in standby mode and 2 hours and 15 minutes in speech mode) the modern miniaturization could permit a better battery of the same size, I'm sure.

The reception is not always very good, sometimes even open air (in pubs or restaurants the indicator is always very very low and if you can receive a call the speech is obviously horrible) and other mobile phones, less expensive, in these conditions work better! I created 3 groups of friends and one day I need those groups i found them deleted and I don't know why, i'm sure i didn't delete them!

As I told before the software is a little slow when your memory is full and sometimes the shell that protects the buttons opens up without touching the button (this is a very common problem as I discover talk
ing with some friends of mine).
Unfortunately if the phone is turned off is impossible to know if you receive a call(a common problem in mobile phones).


I suggest a T28s to semi-professional users and for the style it could be a good present!
