Ericsson A2628 - User Reviews

  • I still have it :) with the box

  • Best phone I ever had! This and Nokia 6310i!

  • This was an excellent phone, I enjoyed it very much qnd for a long time. Very good menu interface. It had profiles. Call quality and reception outstanding. Ergonomic shape and cool looks. I changed to a t600 because this one was rather big even at that time. Couldn't stand the bulk in my pockets once I saw the compact phones...

  • This is a very very cool phone. I still have it in original BOX, new with instructions. Is the best phone in the world and I sell it for 70$. Cheers!

  • Exactly my sweet childhood memories! Loved everything about this phone, but I think the most - the lifting battery connected over wires, so you didnt even had to shutdown the phone to change SIM card.. Awesome phone!

  • Awsome phone.... still now i'm using this phone.... lot of sms ....no hang problems.... superb....

  • What a phone! I bought it in 2001, sent/received thousands of messages, traveled with it, played Tetris for hours, surfed WAP sites, the 1400 mAh Li-ion battery would last a week. Only replaced the keyboard once. But I used it for three years. And tonight I tried to turn it on, it STILL WORKS! It's charging now, maybe I'll play Tetris tomorrow, for the good old times. So many memories... :-)

  • Very good phon, i still have this phone.

  • where can i get its battery and charger also its repair can u tell

  • My first phone (in 2001) when I was in the army (for 6 month). Doing a lots of Tetris on it (if I remember right the higher scores I've done with it was 470000 playing from the begining in the level 10). The battery was Li-Ion with 1400 mAh and lasted 3 years.

  • I still use this phone , very strong and good.

  • Very strong body shell & battery too !!!

  • was my 1st phone when i turned 14 in 2001 and was a great phone, if i look at the diffrent phones of today i wonder how we got along with such small technoligy that time..... go 2628 go go go.

  • Me too

  • fantastic phone i love it i have that phone one month

  • was my third phone.never forget battery life.almost 2weeks.phone manufacturers should think twice when they made 1day last phones.

  • I love this mobile ,it was my first one.

  • my very first phone while in campus nice phone at that time from safaricom ltd

  • This was my first phone. It was black.

  • My first mobile phone too , damn I was happy to get it . I'm glad to have good memories of it

  • My first phone. It still works !Except for the side buttoms and the scroll up. Overall a very good phone but i wish it would have vibrating alert. I`d buy a new one.

  • Good phone,good battery,but the only problem for this phone was the missing of vibration!!!

  • Was my second phone. Good features for that time.

  • The biggest phone I ever had....way back 2002 :) And I had a hard time typing text messages because of the keypad....

  • I've used one for a couple of years, only had to fix the keyboard. Otherwise, loved it. Got a Nokia 3330 after it, but I couldn't stand it after the 2628s it was like a half-product. Actually, I still have this Ericsson, for sentimental reasons, and if I put a SIM in it it still works. This is a forgotten legend. Glory!

  • GREAT PHONE.when i had it it was a hit ! the menu rocked , the wap option rocked , and the battery , i don`t have words to describe it :) . the signal broke after many years of serving me :)

  • I'm fro romania and i want to buy a Ericsson A2628. Where from can i buy one?! I really need it,help pls!

  • Signal full appears but if somebody try to call me it's no network.. help me plzz. Is a trouble w' Power antenna??

  • Sir, I have a moblie phone of ERICSSON model A2628s, which has the Default Language "ARABIC", now I want to change it with "ENGLISH", Give me the solution plz.

  • nice

  • No network , no access This is message instead of mobinil please help me

  • good parts: a lot of features, profiles, calculator, stopwatch, wap, shortcuts, anything u want; a lot of accesories are avaible, like handsfree, chatboard (qwerty keyboard attached at the bottom of the phone), fm radios, mp3players, etc, has 100 entry phone memory, can copy between 2 simcards, sent sms counter, voice dial, speciifc ringtone for each phone book entry, games, verry loud speaker (volume adjustable), verry sensible mic (i was keeping mine on the desk and i was speaking and the person on the other side was hearing me perfectly, and also i was hearing her due the loud speaker), changeable case (front and 3/4 of the back), battery lasts up to 10 days bad parts: it's quite big, has a big antenna, it's software it's verry slow, the menu movement is slow, the sim actions are verry slow (up to 10 sec to enter inbox, 3 sec to enter phone book), call actions are delayed (ex pressing NO it's delayed up to 2 sec), the software sometimes hangs and u must reset the phone wich it's quite hard coz the battery is allways connected, u have to disconect the little plug wich it's hardly accesible; it has problems with the keyboard-> it's not heavy duty, the keys stopped working after 1 year at mine; it's verry sensible at humidity, protect it from rain, snow, steam, sweat, anything

  • A2628 like its brother A2618, is very prone to keypad problems, according to people i know: this is a disposable cellphone.

  • fantastic

  • A very good phone even I had some problems with it. The battery life is amaizaing : 6 days, 2 hours of talk and 3 hours of listening on mp3s. I don't find anything comparable on the market so I keep it !

  • COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • you have circuit Ericsson A2628s

  • My phone displays potimice carging and beep.. continously dispalying this massege and No network massege.. this two massege displaying.. one afetr one continously.. some times phone work properly.. why??

  • Nu le schimbatzi cartelele ca se duc dracu daca le schimbatzi des. Mai au probleme frecvente si cu tastele. Au probleme de soft=> telefoane facut ein bataie de joc

  • After more than one year of using it i cxan tell it for sure: this phone sucks! It was on service 4 times in the first year of use. After this the service center replace it with a new one, wich, after 3 months (meaning right now) is not working well. It displays so ofter "no access" or is searching for a network for 10 minutes. It also hangs up in the middle of a phone call. I also know 3 more people having the same phone, all of them needed service in the first year of use. One more thing: the keypad is really bad, it gets broken so easily... Of course, this phone has a lot of facilities, the battery is good and it was cheap, but... I would prefer paying a little more for a better phone. One more thing: both phones were made in Malaysia

  • how i can the setting about melody if i accept the phone incoming?and couldn't you ask me via e-mail or my phone cell at 62.0815.935.9709

  • perfect phone

  • the mobile phone has a very good function. Despite its large size, i really love it. But many have to agreed with me for certain that, the keypad really suck, i sent in for repair may be almost three times already. It is not a recommended

  • Cool telephone!

  • good phone, but keyboard not strong.battery good two.I like this phone

  • 2628 is an excellent prone but have only one disadvantage, the size. It has excellent battery and good signal.

  • Dear Sir, i am using a phone of your company with No.A2628s. I want to ask,it is must that we should uninstall the battery whenever we install or uninstall the sim. thanks

  • I have it for almost a year now and still appreciate it every day. It it certainly not the smallest but the shape is good so it fits in any pocket. It fits very well in your hand. Reception is 'loud and clear'. Technology is still up to date - especially battery life. Keypad holds strong. Big screen - unmatched. It has fallen spectacularly a few times but does not seem to care. Profiles are a very handy feature if you take some time to see how it works. Downsizes: surface is easily scratched by keys and other stuff easily fond in handbags so be careful (because the plastic is soft, which makes it attractive to handle on the other hand). Power connector does not always fit well. No silent buzzer. It was too late on the market to be a succes. Today it is no match anymore because of its size and external antenna. Apart from that if you find one second-hand or for some discount price so do not hesitate and take it home immediately.

  • I'll like to buy some of these handsets, How do I go about it? Thanks Chinwe

  • the good part: many options (wap, voice dialing, voice answering, melody composer, gamez, profiles, personalized ringtones), long life batery (over 6 days), low price the bad part: it's preety big, huge antena, verry slow at any keystroke or menu operation, verry verry slow at SIM operation (up to 5 sec to access the phone book) overall: his price is under his options so it worth it

  • Its the bets mobile that can be dreamed. But i have some troubles with the size of the mobile BUT the rest is gr8! maybe in the comin' years they wud develop a better versoin of this mobile.

  • very good phone,i had it for almoust a year and i was very pleased with it

  • My best phone ever, I love it!

  • I like the phone for all the features it has, especially the voice dialing and call waiting

  • it sucks but i love it. the only thing that sucks in this set is its large size. but its the b e s t !!!!!!!!!!

  • i bought a2628 three months ago and now it's not searching any network and always show no network. smoe times say for 10 min it logon to the network.Please help us.

  • What is your quote on a purchase order of the A 2628sc at 5,000 units? Please reply asap. Thanks.

  • It's a the best phone.

  • it's the greates!!i got 1 just like it and i'm very pleasd!!!It's ok!!!

  • this fone sucks! i sold mine because its keypads sucks, good features though but curse its keypads, they are not that tough and the size of this one is like an ice shaver

  • sunt foarte bune dar se blocheaza

  • it is god ericsson modell.szerintem nagyon fasza kis telcsi az A-2628

  • bad, bad, bad

  • Its a good phone!

  • Please tell me some sekret code or sekret options for "A2628s"telefon.I wont to know that.

  • Why pay ~100$ for a 3310 that is 5 gramms lighter than A2628s? Why pay ~100$ for 3310 when u can get for ~30$ A2628 which has very rich menu, a much better battery,voice labels etc?

  • I think that Ericsson A2628 is a very good phone but it is a little to heavy! If you would want an lighter phone an T28 would be much better!!!

  • It is a very good phone. just think about the 1400mAh, WAP, Voice Tags, Price and brand name. They speak for themselves.

  • What's good: it's a cheap phone and you are getting many features for a very small price (think about voice dialing, voice answering, wap, personalised ringtones, li-ion battery and so on). The reception is good, the baterry last many days (i have a li-ion one). What's not so good: after two months one of the leds from behind the screen died. VERY VERY VERY slow interface/display. Huge antena. There is something in the menu which just doesn't work (i need to contact the service center to see what's wrong). Overall: you get many features for a small price.

  • It's the beste mobile ever! I have it and i'm happy!

  • You Have a nice design.

  • verry Good!

  • Tai labai geras telefonas. Biski didokas bet funkciju netruksta.

  • the mobiles ericsson 2628 are good but at games are less beautyful and i have a cuestion from where coold i take some free logo pls tell me if you now

  • I don't really like it, but it's better than some other Ericsson models

  • Otherwise, it's a motorola, nokia, siemens cellphone killer!!! At its price & functions, nothing beats it!!!

  • Slow interface especially when you've written long SMS. Bad for a fast texter!

  • it's very good!Belive Me!

  • good one buddies.. try it, got all good features, but size is bit large.. matchless battery life...

  • Wap

  • can i send logo on my ericsson A2628s pls answer me 10x

  • pretty nice! i've got one!

  • It is a very good m-phone, but i can receive pictures sms

  • ericsson a2628 it"a verry god phone!

  • Ericsson A2618s/A2628s-models not are STRONG!!. =(...

  • I like it.It is the phone that fits me.I don't need anything else when I have my A2628s!

  • It is a very good phone

  • I have one for a week already and it works fine, the reception is very good.Maybe the menus are a little too slow but that's nothing regarding the price (50 USD) you can find it on the market. So conclusion is it worth the money!

  • I bought it half a month ago (it is my first phone), and from what I have seen so far, it's really lousy! When I deceided to buy a mobile phone what mattered me most for me was the reception. Somebody told me it has the best reception among the start-range phones and I went for it. Two weeks after that awful step, I am really sorry I paid more than 100 DM for it. Recommendation: pay a little more and buy a Nokia.

  • ffjhkhyj

  • it is a great fone

  • Geras telefonas as toki turu neblogai veikia kad butu biskuti mazesnis tai neko

  • unlock softwar

  • how does it differ to its older brother (2618)?

  • Este o pizda de telefon, daca vreti sa o suge-ti luati-va unul.

  • very good phone, what working wap ??? details thank you

  • how dare you say things like "stupid" you are the one who is stupid enough to own a ericsson crap fone it is true that ericsson a2628 or a2618 had a problem or DEFECT! (which ericsson is known for!!!) on the keypad.and for your information their are other models of this crap brand that has also DEFECTS like the t28 (WORST), t18 etc.

  • I just bought this fone the other day, after a few minutes of it being turned on it broke, the yes, no, c and scrolling keys stopped responding. Also the back cover is a bitch to get on and doesn't come back off again.

  • worst phone lots of defects, slow response in every keystroke. dont buy this crap.

  • it's a cool phone dude, bye my mom is coming

  • it's the best phone

  • Looks like Nokia 3310 la.
