REV, 25 Dec 2002I used @ still have this phone. Ok it's heavy 4 when you're... more"Many hidden features = buttons No's 1 & £ can be used to read text faster: NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT"
Not only can you READ textmessages faster, you can also WRITE textmessages faster:
For example: press "2" to get A
Hold down "Volume Up" and press "2" to get B
Hold down "Volume Down" and press "2" to get C
And, this phone also let's you successfully have a phone conversation even in a very noisy environment (like a Disco).
How?
Set the volume to maximum and then ...
Hold the "C" / "CLR" button down during the whole phone conversation, except let it return to the UP position while you talk.
This mutes the microphone except when you release the C/CLR -button, at which time the microphone works normally.
Technically, this works perfectly. The only problem is psychological, not technical:
To some people, you may need to explain that the disappearing of all background noise is NOT a problem, but it is a trick that you are using to hear the voice of the person at the other end of your phone call even in extremely noisy environment (some people really have problem believing this).

Was given SH888 by neighbor years ago, never used it. Decided to give it a go after 15 years (2020) little battery didn't seem to work, bought big one (hard to source but they do still exist). Deciphered pin-code (logical thinking, duh...) It works! Big battery is better in the hand, ergonomics are good, can operate in one hand, good sound, pleasant to use. Bulky, heavy, yes, but solid. My Nokia Banana is great, but fiddly ergonomics, sound no better, battery-life is far superior, of course, more bells and whistles but I don't need them anyway. I should have made the effort earlier, the SH is a VERY good phone, all I need.

This phone has OK battery life but not amazing compared to Nokia and the call quality is fine. Considering its brick like build the durability is not amazing the phone having considerable chunks nicked out the side after a concrete slip. Overall is a very good phone if all you want is basic.

my second mobile phone, loved it soo much! When I used it in university, in 1999, to connect my notebook to internet via irda, people looked at me like I was doing black magic! Too bad it was stolen after only one year...

You're my first mobile/business phone in the early of this millennium, about 12 years ago. And now, you're became my memory because I've sold U in early 2004. Oh my gentle ERICSSON, where r u now? T_T I love U and ur 'three nice blue simplify lines' mark. You've just being a name now, following a brand name of a populer Japan consumers product; SONY. Why not 'ERICSSONY'?

I whish I kept the phone as backup. You'd get some looks pulling out in 2011. The backlit buttons that couldn't rub out were great. Built like a sherman tank. I programmed star wars as a ring tone - it took bloody ages.

Had this phone when I was in the emergency services. Got the S&*t knocked out of it on more occassions than I care to remember and it still carried on working. It was a fantastic phone in it's day and is still a nice size phone.
I actually found it in my loft last week all complete (charger, spare battery, manual, serial data lead, car charger and even the chatboard/kayboard. Turned it on, and what do you know the phone actually switched ON!!! after 5 years of sitting in the loft, the battery was showing 2 bars left. I travel quite a bit now so I need a tri-band (mainly to the US) phone otherwise I would be tempted to start using this again :-)

This phone was bloody fantastic. Unlike Sony Ericsson, you never had to worry about an Ericsson phone being rugged or not. It would always survive a hit or a splash. I used to throw this phone across the office floor whenever I got upset, and it'd make it. One time it got stuck in the ceiling due to the antenna. However, it all came to a sad end when I once dropped it by accident on its microphone. Apparently, that was its Achilles heel!
