Dr. Buck Naked.'s Review of Ericsson A1228d

2nd Jun 2003

Overall Rating

2.5 stars
  • Value for money
    4 stars
Good Points

Good hand feel. Volume control on side accessible
while using the phone. Easily readable display.
Intuitive menus for all common functions. Great
battery life.


Bad Points

Doesn't take standard headset. No way (for users
at least) to download ring tones.


General Comments

This phone is readily available used, and is inexpensive.
It has a good hand feel; doesn't feel like a toy,
as some of the Nokia and Motorola phones do. The
battery life in digital mode is about a week, which
is outstanding.

It has all the features you could want in a basic
phone. There are only a few drawbacks:

o My service provider whined and complained about
having to manually flash it. I had to stand over
their tech to get them to do it after waiting two
weeks without action.

o The bottom connectors are seriously non-standard.
Only Ericsson add-ons fit, and at that, only
add-ons for the 600 series, 700 series, T10
series, and R280 series.

o The connectors don't always make good contact in
a charger. You have to watch the phone when
starting the charge to make sure it's powered.

o No way to download ring tones. There's a custom
ring tone setting for the service provider to use,
but how to get at it is unknown.
