General Comments

The T29 is is my third Ericsson mobile phone. My other two are the T10 and the T20, which I sold and then bought the T29. It is an excellent little phone for its size and price. In my country, the Nokia 3330, with more or less the same major features costs atleast 15% more. Also, you cannot carry a Nokia 3330 in your front shirt pocket without having it bulge out obscenely. It's display is compact, but shows everything with amazing clarity. The menus are the most easiest to navigate on any phone. You could get lost pretty easily on a Nokia. The buttons are a bit too small, but then that is the price you would have to pay for miniaturisation. The voice dialling is very good, being able to distinguish between multi syllable names. The ringer is very loud too, especially in the mixed, low, medium and high ringtones, which is especialy useful for when you are working outdoors, like I do often. The standard battery which I got with it was the 850ma battery, which bulges slightly outwards from the back, but it allows you to have a comfortable grip on the phone. It lasts for about 3-4 days of continous standby and normal use, which I think is pretty good, and much better than the Nokia. I also have the 500ma flush fitting battery, which gives me about 2 days of use, it charges in an hour, which is very convenient for me. The electroluminescent backlight is very cute. It is very bright, and in the night, it could almost double up as a torch, thats how bright it is. I would recommend this phone to anyone and everyone, it is certainly the best value for your money. :)
