Ericsson T39m

Having owned numerous phones, from the modest Phillips Savvy, a Nokia 3210, 8210, 7110, and a NASTY NASTY Vodaphone Sagem, this T39 came as a nice suprse to me. I only came across this phone because it was offered to me at ludicrously low price (brand new, and not 'hot' before people assume) and my dad had his eyes on my nice and sleek 8210. So I took the plunge. And i'm flipping happy i did! Aesthetically, the phone is very nice to look at. It has a crisp sharp appearance and it 'feels' expensive to the touch. The battery is extremely thin, but thats not to say that its life suffers. I havent charged mine for about 4 days ...  Read the complete review

I FIRST CAME ACROSS THIS FONE ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO.

I felt I had to write an opinion after Screechy's slating due to a bad experience with one phone - I've known an Aston Martin go in for countless repairs which shouldnt reflect too-much on the rest of the stock. I got my T39 for its tri-region and bluetooth capabilities which it has done well and first time all round (easy to setup). It was also free for me on a contract. I may also connect to GPRS one day. I was surprised and didnt expect it to get my emails from my pop3 server which is a bonus if I didnt fancy taking my PDA with me to whereever (or forgot it). The flip doesnt seem to be a flimsy as I thought it would be and the keys can be a ...  Read the complete review

Why I got an T39 I received an e-mail that said GRATIS, like the majority of people I read it and thought ‘free’ then thought ‘junk mail, hit delete’. Fortunately I didn’t listen to me, instead I opened it, which was damned lucky, as any Swedish person would read GRATIS and think ‘congratulations’. The person who had sent the mail was in fact Swedish. He worked for Ericsson and was informing me that I had won an Ericsson T39 with luxury accessory pack. At the time I was using a Motorola cd160, ‘great’ I though ‘there IS a God!’. That was back in August 2001. Techie Stuff I ...  Read the complete review

Given the price and market position of the T39m, I don?t believe I?m out of line for being rather demanding. If this were only a $200 phone from Fido, I think I would be more than happy with it. Also note that due to similarities in many areas, some of this review is taken word-for-word from my earlier review of the Ericsson R520m. The Ericsson T39m is not presently available from any of the GSM providers in Canada, but if you feel just have to have one, they can be purchased over the Internet, or if you happen to be visiting other countries. You?ll need to buy an unlocked version, since anything else would fail to operate with any of the Microcell Connexions ...  Read the complete review
