SonyEricsson T290i, Cheap and Small Phone That Brings Good Value

Price : US$ 95.16 / Euro 71.54

The Good :
small, cheap, light weight, handsfree ability, voice memo, infrared, GPRS class 8

The Bad :
No MMS, small STN display, small memory

Here comes the cheap and functional SonyEricsson T290i. Compared with its bigger brother, the loud ringing SonyEricsson J200i, the T290i brings more compact size, yet with more functionality. It has handsfree ability to let you busy while talking, voice memo, infrared and GPRS.



Compared with previous model T230, of course the new T290i brings much more features and functions. This phone is ideal for you who wants basic phone but with some connectivity. The voice memo and handsfree can also be very useful if you are too busy. You can record some short voice memos and play them back, rather than write them.

We can compare the phone with other small phones, such as Panasonic G50. G50 gives you a very small phone with color display. But it has less features than T290i, so you'd be better of with T290i.



Conclusion :
Frankly speaking, SonyEricsson T290i may be one of the most versatile cheap phone right now. Where else can we have handsfree, voice memo, GPRS, and infrared with lower price than T290i ? You might also look at other alternatives, such as S.E. K300 or J300, the bright display Samsungs, or the professional-look Motorolas.
