The Sony Ericsson T200 mobile phone doesn't have the BASIC feature of adding a NEW number from the phonelist - it is embedded somewhere in the Phonebook feature which is NOT DOCUMENTED! I had to ring the UK hotline (I am from Australia) as the Australian Sony Ericsson helpline closes at 6pm. It constantly switches itself off on a charged battery, this started happening after 2 months! If you don't turn the ALARM off before it automatically switches itself off, you will need to power-on your...

The Sony Ericsson T200 is a very poor and unreliable mobile phone. If you need an emergency back-up phone while yours is under repair, then it's fine as it is better than nothing.
The back-light is very bright. It sucks battery power and it's been in the shop 3x for reception and sound quality issues.
After it was finally repaired, it was lost. I paided too much for this phone. I dont recommend it and as a whole, I don't recommend Sony Ericsson products, especially if they are...

I found this Sony Ericsson T200 phone to be very bad after a year of having it. I have replaced it three times. Once because the ringer stopped working, the second because it wouldnt let me call anyone and the third was when the menu wouldnt work. I have lost the phone many times because it is very small. The worst part is not being able to use it in basements or large buildings....

“I got a Sony Ericsson T200 because I needed a cheap...”
I got a Sony Ericsson T200 because I needed a cheap world phone for travel. This is a light but fairly solid little handset. I have fairly large hands, but the phone is easy to hold and use and I had no problems with the keypad. Sure, the keys are small and close together, but this is a TINY phone, after all, and they don't skimp much on the screen, which is a nice size. The screen and keypad are beautifully backlit.
The menu system is not intuitive, and there are no "soft" keys. For example,...

The CD with DCU-11 data cable for USB port clearly stats that the web site www.sonyericsson.com is having a PC software for "Phone monitor options" to configure this T200 phone through this cable for Win 98se but I failed to find any such software on this site.

Being a heavy SMS'er and a long term IT person...my main concern for any new phone is the how well the software has been designed...predictive text interface, intuitive menus etc, choice of different options and games.
the games are not too good, Tennis, Breakout clone, a couple of other logic type games and that was that. i can see the demand for more interactive and complex games in the future...
the text interface as with all the menus is a little slow. it's very easy to type...

Written on: 15/05/2003
I think the reason why your stand-by lasts only 2 days is because your back light is set to "on" which illuminates the screen even when not needed. Therefore I recommend that you set your light to "auto" and you'll see stand-by time lasting up to 7 days! My GF had the same problem! Please read the manual ok?

This phone is very average and I feel that I have not received what I have payed for. While the phone is lightweight and somewhat stylish, it has toyish look to it: it's looks like a toy. I HATE the buttons, the up button is stiff and it requires slightly extra effort to press. When you press the buttons, it makes a relatively loud clicking noise. I suggest Sony Ericsson release a soft buttons for the phone. The games are very boring, and I as disappointed to find that didn't even have Snake: a...

This phone is the best I have ever had. It has five really good games, looks great, and the battery life lasts quite a long time. Altough the ringtones go slightly fast, there aren't any other bad things about it, as the ringtones are only a tiny part of the phone. All my friends are well jealous of me, and it's really good having an attatchable camera. Also, I have dropped this phone loads of times, being the clumsy person that I am, and it hasn't got a scratch! I'd recommend this phone highly...

I recently recieved a Sony Ericsson T200 as a free gift from my service provider for not switching to a competitor. My first impression upon seeing the phone was "WOW" (especially the amazing blue screen). But having used it for a few days now, I'm starting to find that it's not a very user-friendly phone. To begin with, the phone's menu system is very awkward to use. Many frequently used features are hidden deep within the menu system or require excessive key presses to access. Speed-dial, which...

You can lock the keypad by pressing and holding the C button and then pressing 2. You unlock by pressing C then Yes. The English language manual doesn't tell you how to do this either (I got it from the Fido.ca website).
<br>
<br>Probably the worst thing about this phone is that you can only enter contacts through the phonebook (or a shortcut) -- you can't punch in a phone number and then save it as a contact, as with Nokia, Motorola, LG, etc. etc.. Dumb!
<br>Other than that, it's fairly easy to use, once you get it set up.

As an upgrade from the Nokia 3390, I am satisfied with the Sony Ericsson T200 mobile phone. Although it is considered a low-end handset, it offers many handy features such as Internet access, an included headset, and downloadable ringtones & pictures. The reception is quite good (better than my Nokia 3390) but the signal is not quite as strong as the 3390's. The main reason for upgrading to this phone was the long battery life, and after the poor life of the 3390's battery, this is a welcome change....

Written on: 26/06/2003
I can't find that the first battery charge should be 12-24 hours anywhere. That the battery in the display is full should, in a layman's sense, mean that the battery is full and that the charging curcuitry has been cut off and thus the phone is ready to remove from the charger and use. If it really is as you all say (which I hardly believe) I wonder why they didn't put up an extra indicator which indicates trickle charge. Li-Ions are very tough batteries when it comes to charging, far as I know it, no memory effect and such, basically just an electric energy container.

Written on: 16/07/2003
I must say I'm pretty happy with this phone overall. It's relatively cheap for a handset that does WAP, it includes a headset. Sure the buttons aren't as good as most other phones I've used, but that's really minor compared to the overall feature set. The screen is clear, the background light the best I've seen so far, the recurrent vs. one time alarms are a nice addition. I would strongly recommend it unless you need BlueTooth.
<br>The reception seems to be the major issue. I could be the network (I'm on Fido) but I haven't had nearly as much problems with my old plain Nokia 5190.

This phone works and looks fine but the melody composer plays the song to fast so none of the ericcson ring tone will play right in this phone , this phone does not include the modem driver that is needed to use gprs from laptop/pc
the blue backlight is ok but not to special
the navigation key is a little bit annoying and does not feel confortable to push
but is worth it as it is a cheap phone so this phone has a high value for money...
