Sony Ericsson T290i

Sony Ericsson T290 Let’s get started. The measurements for this are (nearest mm) 102x44x19 and the weight is a light 79grams. This shouldn’t bother phone critics who feel that everything is either too heavy or bulky. It is a fairly old design kind of phone and is very low end.

There's not much to say about the phone, it looks good, it knows some stuff, like polyphonics, color pictures and animations, games (but no java!), wap through GPRS and CSD servers, MMS, has 1 Mb memory, which is quite frankly very little. And that really covers the services it provides! But if you want a cheap phone that has all this as minimal, you got what you were looking for. You can use a camera with it just like ...  Read the complete review
