My cousin bought this phone 2 weeks ago, and I have been toying with it for about 15 minutes, I tell u the following:

Good Points:
------------
1. Small size
2. Nice design & colors
3. Low price
4. Loud tones
5. Nice game shakes

Bad Points:
-----------
1. Very slow software; the slowest I've ever seen in many mobile phones.
2. Bad quality screen, specially when playing games, it seems cloudy.
3. Often hangs when u lose in a game.
4. Recording feature is of the poorest quality.

I didn't test the phone during a call nor did I test other features, but in general I'd recommend u to spend few more pounds and get Nokia 3100 instead.

Best Regards from Egypt

                Hey, I have a t290a and I'm liking it so far. I just have a few questions.

                How do I delete dictionary entries?

                What kind of options do I have if I get a USB cable? Could I change wallpapers?

                Please feel free to e-mail me the answers at ninjamunky@gmail.com Oh, and I don't think that this phone is too bad as a starter phone. It's... basic :)

                  I got this phone 2 day earlier, every thing is ok as compare to its price, but i must say they must use a keypad style like in nokia 1100, which will enhance user typing performance. i am planing to try its camera & synthronizer (alt to data cable). can someone give me any idea how much its camera cost me?

                          A very nice phone for its price. My cellphone operator was giving the away for free so I took one. Nicest phone I ever had (after SK1400)

                            I am from Guatemala and I have a t290a, It's a good phone, a thing that I like of this phone is the automatic keylock and another things. The only that I hate, is the dust that enter to the screen and the screen looks old. But in short words is economic and smart phone.

                                  I am facing a problem that I can't edit or save contacts to the SIM card.In the sonyericsson site they said it depends on the SIM provider so you can see a menu called "Manage SIM".But really others mobiles do it easily independent on the SIM provider.
