    Good Points: Having live video camera and video settings
    Free internet searching
    Hands free
    Memory card slot
    Big screen


    Bad Points: Bulky brick-like phone
    The battery dies quickly
    You lose connection here and there


    General comments: Overall, the NEC e228 is a good mobile phone, and good value for money. It is a bit big, and the battery has to be charged quite frequently, but it has a lot of features.

    This is a good phone, but after a while you just grow to not like it. The size puts you off at first, until you see the great picture quality. The video capture is short, and bad quality. If your looking for a cheap phone, for only short term use until you can afford a better one, this could be the phone for you.

    The NEC e228 is possibly the best phone I have had, and I have had loads. I rate this above the Motorola V500, V525, V600, the Nokia 3510i, the Samsung V200 and the Sharp GX10i. I think this could only be improved by adding bluetooth and infrared. The 3 network have done well by getting NEC to make phones for them, they are a great company and really know how to get the most into their products. The phone may be on the big side but look how many features it has for the low price. Just 44.99 bran ...

    Battery life of the NEC e228 is poor. Even sending messages and reading the news seems to drain the battery, and it doesn't last long on standby. With most phones if the battery runs out your phone switches off. You switch it back on and then you can text people and receive messages. Maybe talk for 30 seconds after you leave it switched off for a bit. This phone just dies. It says battery empty and switches itself off and will not switch back on until you charge it. It's completely dead. On ...

    The NEC e228 is a wonderful phone for the price and is easily better than some phones which I have payed more than three times for. The only features I felt were missing were Bluetooth, infrared and a radio but you can buy those to clip on.

    The NEC E228 has great camera and video facility with easy menus to run through, certainly better than any other phone I've had before but the battery runs out too quickly, I have to charge it every other day.

    Had the NEC E228 three days and it's the best phone I've ever had. It's easy to use and navigate through menus the sreen and picture qualities are the best I've seen on a mobile.
    Now the down side, the 3 network is rubbish it's expensive you lose your credit after 30 days and the reception is poor.
    For about £10 you can get the phone unlocked to all networks and everything still works apart from video calling which isn't very good anyway. So you can use the phone on other networks and n ...

    NEC E228 - I have had the e228 for a few weeks now and I have had no problems. The camera is superb and a very good quality. The keypad takes some getting used to but don't they all? I've noticed that to lock the keypad you have to use a 4-digit password everytime you lock and unlock which is quite annoying. I have only one point to make, in order to put mp3s on the phone, you must purchase a memory stick and a usb cable which are quite pricey. All in all, for the price, the size and all the ...

    I have had my NEC E228 2 days but have not put it down. Now the first thing you all ask size? I think this is the smallest non flip 3g phone and is like a nokia 3510 size, but is much lighter than you would think, which means it isn't very bulky in your pocket.

    Next thing everyone wants to know the battery. As I haven't had it very long I can't say much, but I have played with it pretty much non stop and it lasts a day and a half so I would expect 3 days standby under normal use.

    Reception ...
