General Comments
There is little difference between the Ericsson T29 and Nokia 3330 mobile phones as far as features go, but there is a vast difference in the styling. Overall, it's a matter of personal preference, but those who claim that Ericsson's 'flip' platform is outdated are probably right.
The T29's status screen, which shows exactly the remaining standby and talk time, is helpful. However, it provides little consolation for what I would consider to be disappointing overall battery life. Moderate to heavy users should therefore factor in the cost of a car charger, or high capacity battery. The good news is that, assuming that you use a genuine Ericsson battery, the charging process is reasonably fast.
It is true that the small screen and cramped keypad may deter some people but, in my opinion, it is only a minor annoyance. Whilst the screen can handle only three lines of text, it would be fair to point out that it is very easy to read due to its high resolution.
Sound quality is good, but I don't think it's quite as good as the Nokia counterpart. Text entry on the T29 is a tad slow, but it is still a big improvement on previous models. Also, I guess that as a recently released model, is is unforgiveable that Ericsson neglected to offer T9 text input on the T29.
Given the choice, I would personally probably prefer a Nokia. Nevertheless, the T29 is a stylish and functional phone which clearly shows that SonyEricsson intend to give Nokia some stiff competition.
On average, people found this review very helpful
