Guide Review - Ericsson R289LX Review
This phone is far from being the "best phone of the year", but it is a low-cost solution for those who carry their phone in a bag or briefcase and don't like typing text messages on a small numeric keypad. A text-oriented phone, this model lets you plug a special keyboard, the Ericsson "ChatBoard" to send and receive text messages more easily than by using the numeric keypad.
