Ericsson A2618s Reviews

Since I did not see a bad review on this, I thought I would write one. I have 1 A2618 and 2 A2628. The 2618 started acting funky, I thought I did something to it and that was why. It kept saying optimized charging and switching off, loosing connections even when not connected to the charger. Since it feels solid in your hand I bought another 2 for my wife and myself. Well it started raining and my wife's started doing the same thing and I thought she was doing something wrong to it. Soon after mine started to do the same thing again. After the rainy season was over her's started to work again, and so did mine. But it started to do it again now and both are out and give all kinds of messages like no network, no access, optimized charging etc. I know it was not because we abused the phones since my 3rd one I never even took it off the table. Does not look like any of them will now work ever.

Pay more and buy something that lasts a few years. This one will self destruct as soon as the warranty period is over. I have 3 paper wights to prove it.

The A2618 says made in Sweden while the others say made by Ericsson, don't know the difference since everything inside it is identical except one has NiMH battery and the other Li with double the time. The cover can be changed and maybe someone also has a slimmer cover for it since the default cover leaves empty space inside. Having a warrenty center around definetely helps since the first one died 2 months after I got it. I just threw it away as the center was far away from me.

To be honest, when I first got this model I was very skeptical about it's performance after being a regular Nokia user. But for the price at which I bought it - 2700 bucks, it scored way over a Motorola Talkabout which was quite expensive at 3000 bucks with limited features.

After about 8 months of very rough use, I must say am totally satisfied. I must have dropped it a number of times and used it very roughly.

The phone is very bulky but ok if you're going to carry it in your handbag. It's too bulky to carry around in your pocket. The ringer is quite loud and you'll hear it even if it's tucked away deep in your handbag.

Signal is extremely good. Battery is long lasting. I used to go 3 days without recharging but now I have to recharge it every two days (signs of my phone ageing!)

The interface takes getting used to. It has a large display screen which I like as I get a lot of sms and hate to keep scrolling to read messages. It has an alarm clock, stopwatch, call waiting, - you can switch between 2 calls. I found the voice dialling really cool.

Address book also very easy to use and find numbers. SMS is just about OK.- no predictive text.

while you're speaking, it clocks the duration of the call so you know how long you're talking.

It's worked perfectly for about 8 months and then went dead. I'm still in search of someone who can repair it. Most repair centres say throw it away - and I probably should. I would have felt better if it had worked for about a year before giving way. Maybe that's because I used to very roughly.

I don't know if I would recommend that anyone buy this as it's quite an old model. But if you get this phone for cheap, (2000-2500) go for it's good. But expect it to work Ok for abt a year at the most (maybe more if you're lucky!).

Ericsson A2618s may be a little old on the market but

is purfect for the guy who wants a cell fone for extremely

rough use,and gives you optimum performance. Its light , has

lithium batteries and looks cute.I have been

using this fone for around 6 months now & I have no regrets.

It is not a Glamour Doll like Nokia but certainly gives

you value for money as it is very inexpensive.

Likes about this product are a lot, but well you tell me

to list the dislikes , I must say that there is no vibrator

alarm in this fone & I think thats a very neccesary item

in the armoury of a cell Fone.

Ericsson is ranked among the top 5 Cell companies in the

World & gives us great products .

WAY TO GO LADS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
