Pros: durable, tiny world phone, nice design, vibrating alert
Cons: SLOW interface, can't store email addresses in phone book, no WAP

The Ericsson T28w has been around for a while now, and you can get them very inexpensively both new and used (try eBay). If you need a compact, reliable world (GSM) phone and don't require the latest features, the T28w should do it for you.

...

Pros: tiny!, usable in Europe & parts of East Asia, light, clarity
Cons: mediocre battery life, slow menus

Abstract:

Having actually used the GSM service in Europe & parts of Asia, I can say that it really is a "world" phone. Terrific size and decent clarity make it a good companion, but only so-so battery life and a sluggish interface.
...

Pros: Pros: Size, sturdy construction, ease of use.
Cons: It doesn't display the exact time in call log, unless call made the same day.

(Oct 4,2001)
Now that is has been almost a year, I have met even more people who have complained about their T28W's having this problem (the SOS calls only) popping up on the screen. It does not appear that Ericsson has tried to remedy this....

Cons: None, so light and thin, you may lose it.

My only other cellular phone review listed on epinions is for my Nokia 6190, which is an excellent GSM phone. After 2 years of service, I finally found a better one. The Ericsson T28 World!

Let's start by saying that "Don't judge this...

Pros: Great size, great design, good reception
Cons: Not as rugged as most cell phones

After signing up with Pacific Bell wireless service, I was given the choice of getting a Nokia 6190 or spending an extra amt. of money, and getting the Ericsson T28 World. First off, after looking at the phone, i was amazed by it's small size and cool...

Pros: Lightness, thinness, good reception
Cons: Ugly color, short standby and talk time,potential flip problems

The Ericsson T28 World is a good phone and it has a equally good price. Offered on the Pac Bell network where I live, it is being sold for a very low price of $99. Compared to other world phones such as the $299 Motorola L7089, this is an excellent...
