Just bought one of these off eBay for 99p plus 5.50 shipping. The sc version, mint and in the box, with sealed manuals and belt clip. An absolute bargain. Got it for my mum, she loves it. I think I may get myself one, may even start collecting retro Ericsson, they made great phones prior to Sony.

An excellent phone without a doubt. Nowadays most if not all phones have built in antennas on the basis that most subscribers will be in cities or urban areas where there'll be sufficient coverage. However this isn't the case out in the countryside where signals can be hard to receive and if an emergency occurs no signal means no help! The 320s has an external aerial plus the option to connect to a vehicle mounted phone antenna. If for no other reason it's worth having one in the car as an emergency phone. They won't be around for ever and once they've gone they've gone!

Probably the best mobile phone ever made !!!

Quality feel, audio is superb, holds onto the signal better than most and is easy to use.
Battery life also very good.

The Mercedes of mobiles.

Wonderful phone, the best I have ever had. Now I have a BlackBerry, but still I think about R320 (altlantic blue color). Yes, yes, the most stylish phone in the world. Made in Sweden of course.

A wonderful phone, one of my favorites ever... very slim for the time, elegant and beautiful, had two, one got broken because I messed around with it and the other is still working, good as new, sometimes I use it again, still one of the best mobiles around, very impressive...

Pros:
- slim & professional design
- nice colored plastic case (minor scratches will not deter its looks compared to painted cases)
- ultra slim battery (fits nicely in your wallet)
- calendar that can be viewed by day, week or month.
- voice memo for 90 sec (has a separate button in activating the voice memo, very convenient!)
- clear and crisp mic and speaker
- voice dialing
- voice answering
- nice programmable shortcut keys
ie prolong press of ◄ = write new msg
prolong press of ► = phonebook
- can easily silent the phone while ringing (useful when you forget to put in silent mode while in a meeting) just press c while ringing
- basic organizer: alarm, calculator etc
- alarm activates even when phone is turned off (saves power)
- IR (can be used to send contacts)
- can be used as modem (via IR)
- Speed dialing (single prolong press of buttons 1 or 2-9)
Entertaining games (tetris, solitaire)
- east to vies status screen (sliding the button on the left side displays the status of your phone which shows you the profile, the battery life in hours (not bars), alarms, date, time etc.
- bright but soft green backlight (does not strain the eyes even viewed in the dark)
- WAP (to check email, but not browsing)

Cons
- slow keypad (not ideal for chat)
- only 99 phonebook memory
- limited ringtone and msg tone


Conclusion
This is a great phone for its price and feature. Its technology, features and convenience cannot be compared to similar phones of its time like the nokia 6210. The phone's features can still be used even up to todays technology. I personally preferred this phone than any low end mobile phone in the market. If you still use this phone today, the only thing that you missed is the the colored screen, the polyphonic and the GPRS. But considering that this phone is released in the year 2000, it makes this model one heck of a phone.

Yeah... I've just got this phone today... Just Handset and charger... It seems the battery is not original, but it's ok. Just make me fly back to a few years ago...

Let's see how the people look at me when I use this phone beside my Xperia X1...
