A great call & text phone, not the best for features (OK, it has none), but it has enough memory for about 5 or so songs listen to on the bus or whatever & it has a superb camera. & the best thing, it's as cheap as chips. Shame about lack of features.

It's a great little phone! I got it for my birthday & I am well pleased with it! Simple, easy to use, & not dependant on stuff that you don't need. Looks good, handy camera if you are somewhere beautiful. Only problem is I can't connect it to my PC, but otherwise fabulous.
Reviewer: Millerman - Rochester, UK

This is a half decent mobile phone & after all you get what you pay for. I really can't fault it except that sometimes when I get a call it goes to missed call. Otherwise decent mobile phone & recommended.

I got this phone because my old one would not turn on? so I got this one & was excited at first but disappointed when I realised that is has no memory at all & I thought you could insert a memory card as it said on the website I was really shocked & I have had it for 3 months now & it freezes all the time & the picture quality is rubbish I would not recommend it, I am now trying to get a much better phone (hopefully) DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE AT ALL IT IS REALLY BAD! The features it comes with is bad & the screen is really small you can hardly see the themes are horrid & they wallpapers are worse, I end up having a blank screen also you can't connect up to a PC.
Reviewer: Bravo - UK

It is an office phone I got it for Xmas & I hate it I had to delete all games & themes just to have 10 small songs! Better of getting a Walkman of any kind!
Reviewer: Jack - Chennai, India
Date: 1st Jun 2009
Got it as a gift, only the design is good rest all waste. No memory space at all, hardly can save 6 to 7 small songs. Battery runs down when using FM, so because of this I don't ever use FM. Luckily I got it as a gift & I didn't spend anything.
Reviewer: Dennis - London, UK

It's a perfect phone just the memory card is rubbish it's so small.
Reviewer: Sul - Midlands, UK
Date: 5th May 2009
Nice looking phone, nice & slim & small, easy to use & messaging is really good aswell, good for the credit crunch £35 on Orange with £10 credit. Lacks video but camera is average, Bluetooth also good, Internet is good also. It's simplicity, good usability & design makes this mobile stand out & for a very good price aswell. Worth the buy if your struggling for a cheap but good mobile. 8.5 out of 10.
Reviewer: Raqqiah - London, UK

The Sony Ericsson t280i is a very light & a calm phone compared to the other one's in my family like the w910i, the t280i is feature packed with bluetooth & 1.3 megapixel camera with 4 x zoom but the thing I was a bit disappointed of is it does not have video & very less memory I put 5 songs & 15 pictures & it said memory full.
Reviewer: Girll - UK
Date: 26th Apr 2009
I am thinking of getting this phone, but am just wondering about a few things people have said.
With the memory not being very big, does this prevent getting a certain amount of contacts on your phone?
Also how many songs & pictures can you get on the phone?
Thanks.

Nice cheap phone, can't ask for more.
Reviewer: Hacken - Georgetown, Malaysia
Date: 9th Apr 2009
I like the phone design & it looks cool when I hold it on hand. If compare the features & the usability, T280i is considered normal & not so special to me. It is suitable for those guys who like the normal function such as SMS & call only. No worries, this phone makes you look smart too. I want to stress again that the T280i looks cool too!
Reviewer: David - Ashton in Makerfield, UK

A good straightforward phone. It's compact & offers the basic features most people need. £24 from the local phone shop.
Reviewer: Mojojojo - London, UK
Date: 15th Mar 2009
Great! For 19 pounds, it's great. The Bluetooth is great to.
Reviewer: Josephine - Oxford, UK

The handset is OK but it keeps going off all the time & I am going to return it just bought it 3 days ago.
Reviewer: Maria - London, UK
Date: 13th Feb 2009
Given this phone as a Christmas present, used it for a three weeks & now gone back to my Nokia 6030. Struggle to hear person I am speaking to, so I have been told use a Bluetooth but that doesn't work either. Resets it self, phone switches to emergency calls only, so I can't make calls or nobody can ring me. Rubbish phone, took back to Carphone Warehouse & because I am with T mobile was told they would not give exchange or refund.
Reviewer: Marshall - Airdrie, UK
Date: 2nd Feb 2009
It is a bit rubbish that you can't connect to your PC even with a USB cable. I went & bought a USB cable today & all it does is charge the silly thing. To be honest if you want a simple phone this is the one otherwise, stay clear.
Reviewer: Ken - London, UK
Date: 16th Jan 2009
Lovely slim phone, cost me £30 at CPW, excellent battery life. If you are looking for a nice slim phone or calling & texting, this is for you. Don't expect anymore.
Reviewer: Chris Jesson - Sheffield, UK
Date: 9th Jan 2009
The phone market is obsessed with gadgets that people don't really need. This phone is perfect for a large number of people who just want to call, text, use the calculator & listen to the radio! Simplicity is best! The design is nice, it looks smart for a budget phone & the features all work fine, especially the radio (having RDS is a real bonus).
It is also good that it comes with a paper user guide rather than the usual go online for a PDF file or CD user guide.
I haven't had the phone long but it seems durable, my last phone was a Sony Ericsson K700i & I had that for over 3 years without much trouble.
Reviewer: Bloke - Birmingham, UK
Date: 31st Dec 2008
I wanted a simple phone to replace a works phone when I left them, & bought this on a pre pay deal for £39. It makes calls & sends texts very well & that's all I need, so for me, great!
Reviewer: Oliver - UK
Date: 30th Dec 2008
You were mugged! £19 from Carphone Warehouse, a deal not to be missed. I purchased one yesterday for my girlfriend.
It is superb, I love it, no more stupid functions that I don't have time to use! Its looks great, feels great & works great.
I put it next to my Motorola RAZR & it's even smaller!
I purchased one for myself today, I am extremely pleased.
Reviewer: Anon - Plymouth, UK
Date: 22nd Dec 2008
I bought this phone because my brother told me it was good, received it the next day in a parcel. Next thing I know I just bought a lump of rubbish. Restarts all the time & the keypad is just. Please if anyone wants it. Just ask.
Oh & another thing. It looks rubbish. Cost me £90.
Reviewer: Aaron - Liverpool, UK
Date: 10th Dec 2008
Fantastic the best mobile phone ever made.
Reviewer: Bev Muizelaar - Washington, UK
Date: 9th Dec 2008
Nice & slim easy to use but you can't have a different ring tone for the wife & business. Good & loud I am hard of hearing & this is the best I have come across.
Reviewer: Mike Siapno - Philippines
Date: 3rd Oct 2008
A good second phone for text & calls. It's slim & light design fits right on the pocket. Why bother with all the other features for the price it came at! A simple phone for a simple purpose!
Reviewer: Ian F - UK
Date: 15th Sep 2008
Not to complicated very easy to learn all it's functions & not too expensive.
Reviewer: Mike Mcdade - Harrow, UK
Date: 25th Aug 2008
Got this for £40 on pre pay as a second work number. At that price the lack of features is easily overlooked. The handset is very well made, has a loud ringer & an excellent battery life.
There are no extras here, but if you want a basic phone for calls & texting this is it.
Reviewer: Luuk - Breda, Netherlands
Date: 10th Aug 2008
The salesman promised me the phones memory could be upgraded with a memory card. Guess what? It can't. There will be no insertion of memory cards in the phone, I tried but alas. It looks cool though.
Reviewer: Unsatisfied - Philippines
Date: 20th Jul 2008
It's stylish alright. Good for the simple type of persons who are satisfied with simple features like able to text & call. & also for those who are fond of taking pictures. But for those who are fond of changing their themes, sending audio messages to friends, capturing videos & sending them through MMS, transferring files from cp to PC through USB cables, THIS IS NOT the PHONE FOR YOU!
Reviewer: Mark - Wembley, UK
Date: 10th Jun 2008
Overall this phone matches my needs so I am happy. It's really decent. No music player. Umm no Bluetooth though but it's OK.
Reviewer: Haku - Thailand
Date: 27th Apr 2008
Sony Ericsson's T phones are for fashion but they often don't have a memory card.
