Ericsson T39

I had a t39 when they first came out almost 9 years ago. I found it compact, cute, functional and with good battery life and talktime. Recently, I bought another on eBay, as it was truly the most functional phone for text and talk communication I have ever owned. I use a smartphone during the week for business but at the weekend the simplicity and functionality of the t39 can't be beaten.

As we are in 2009, when we are talking strictly about *mobile phone* (not compared to smartphones, multimedia and things like that) this phone has still good features like fast gprs, bluetooth, infrared to survive in the market.This is by far the best mobile phone I had!! I always bought new phones and right after I was turning back to t39!!My roadmap...SE 628 --> SE t28s --> SE t39s -->SE P800 -->SE t39s -->SE SX1 --> SE t39s !!I wish SE to create a new model with the basis of t39 by placing a camera, a bit larger colored screen, java support, basic multimedia staff, 3g connectivity...

Beats most of today's mobile phones hands down when it comes to user friendliness. I'll buy one again when my present one breaks. And an Apple i Phone after that, maybe.

I wish I had tested the Ericsson T39 thoroughly when I had it. The only big plus was Bluetooth and the phones neat size plus good quality sound when making and receiving calls. The biggest downside was not been able to hear calls coming through and the text message alert tone was abyssmal!

This mobile is very good, this is the best mobile I has ever - it includes every feature I need and many other more features.

You should make a new mobile based on this one but add to it the harmonic (polyphonic) ring tones and colors, and give it the same shape as this one.

I dropped this Ericsson T39 phone once and the mic no longer works. Thus, I am confined to using a wireless mic which can be an absolute nuisance at times. I would not recommend this phone simply because the integrity of it is poor. I believe that all mobile phones should be capable of withstanding a view drops by its owner.

Phone has been sent back twice for repair / replacement. On neither occasion was FAULTS rectified or phone replaced.

Faults :-

1)When vibrate alert feature turned on phone vibrates and possible bad battery connection causes phone to shut off.

2) Phone turns its self off for no good reason, battery is full.

3) Phones displays message charging battery, when no charger connected.

4) Support from Ericsson was terrible, they returned phone stating no problem. It failed again within ONE HOUR.

5) Phone froze twice during game play, and clock settings also froze. Had to remove battery AND SIM card to get phone to work again, this was also trial and error.

Good point I paid 10 pounds so just accepted phone was garbage.

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE

I love this T39 phone a lot, it has an architectural line in shape and has attracted many admiring glances over the dirth of anonymous sony-ericssons and nokias out there.

My contract was up for renewal so for an 'upgrade' I got a compact metal motorola phone (v60i?) which due to its annoying over complicated software and poor instructions and nagging tone got given to a relative pretty quick! I'm back with my T39 now and like it even more. The operating system is so easy and its robust and feature packed - in short a classic if u can lay your hands on one do!.

When I try to place a call on this phone it constantly says it is calling but then never actually dials. It's really annoying since I'll have it to my ear for a few minutes only to pull it away and find it has reset itself. To place a call I need to turn the phone off and then on, wait 5 seconds and THEN call. Simply awful.

I bought my ericsson t39 last year and I have never had any problems with this telephone. Very stable and good phone with alot of cool functions =)

I strongly recommend this mobile!
