 Ericsson T18s is announced in 1999
Design
The latter quickly became immensely popular and also the manufacturer's flagship, but with the advent of the T18s, Ericsson has finally entrenched itself as an important player in the market for experienced users, the Ericsson T18s is slender and not very compact handset at 106 x 47 x 18 mm and 104 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 96 x 40 pixel is not very high but is normal for low class phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Ericsson handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The T18s is comfortable to hold and lies well in ones hand.A numerical keypad placed below offers appropriately-spaced keys and are pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Ericsson handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.Unfortunately, the keypad of the Ericsson T18s emits excess noise, but on the bright side its keys have been comfortably spaced and sized. We're not entirely happy with the design of the navigational pad and its adjacent buttons, however, as distinguishing between these less easy than it ought to be.And last,but not least, a simple two-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Ericsson T18s has to offer: there's also support for SMS, .and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the T18s was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 750 mAh NI-MH battery is rated for 4 hours talk time or 100 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 112 minutes.
Availability
The Ericsson T18s is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Ericsson T18s is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Ericsson design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
