General Comments

I've always liked the classic squarish design of ericsson mobile phones.
So this would be the phone to replace my old GA 628.
I can see how it's moved on- it displays a proper 'Ericsson' logo when you switch it on instead of normal text like the old one.
Nice clip on covers, the buttons are nice to press, accurate and not hard plastic.
It's got your own melody ringer input which everyone seems to love on a mobile phone these days, but i'd much prefer a vibrate battery instead.
Ever so often it would freeze- I'd press the arrow buttons and suddenly it would go through the whole menu in a flash!
The same thing happens when texting.
it's fairly durable, the battery doesn't fit quality-like so moves a bit when you put your hand on it.
I wanted a new mobile phone anyway, I made up my mind finally that I's get a new one when the ringer on the top became rattely and therefore sounded a little odd when it rang.

I liked the phone anyway, because of it's design but it seemed a little out dated compared to others because of its size and weight.
I'd still recommend one though, you can by them for vegetable money at auctions now.
