I do miss this era, everything now is getting far too complicated to use when technology should be about making things easier, quite the contrary. I owned a Samsung R220 and really wanted to part ex it for either this or the Siemens SL45i which carried too premium a price. Today, I still pine for this particular rare model amongst all the IPhone and Samsung Galaxy Touch wielding youths and my current HTC Desire HD does not stand a chance against this nor my old Samsung when it comes to ease of use, power wise of course my HTC is just a millennium ahead. Back in the day you would own a T39 to stand out from the 3310 and 8210 crowd, today as I said, people like you and I want to be old skool and stand out from Iphone and Galaxy folks!

I think this will be a retrospective as opposed to a review.

I got a t39m in early 2002, and being my first contract phone was the last handset I paid any money for.

I found the phone a joy to use from the off, the menus intuitive, small enough to sit unnoticed in a pocket, the flip action is excellent. My only gripe would be that ericsson as a manufacturer lacked variety of background graphics and ringtones available for nokia, although the latter was mitigated by the ringtone creator on the phone.

The real testament to this phone was its fortitude and longevity. I kept using this phone, in spite of eligibility for free upgrades, until it succumbed to the "no network" bug in mid-2005, a run of some three and a half years. In the interim it was dropped, knocked and generally abused but failed to break, and still worked pretty much as it had straight out the box - no tics and quirks. This has been true of no phone I have owned either before or since.

Despite now owing a smartphone, I took a friend up on the offer of a repair on the t39. Having used it again for the first time in years, I have to say that it is still an excellent device, doing one thing very well, telecommunications. It doesn't pretend to be a limited capacity mp3 player or a mediocre digital camera as subsequent phones felt the need to. The combination of a long battery life and being tough as old boots mean that this phone is still ideal for hiking, camping trips and other environments where the shortfalls of fragile, power-hungry smartphones are are a liability.

my first phone, brought new in 2003, and still the best I have ever had. I tried recently an HK refurbished, but it was not the same finish, and finally broke in just one year.

Just to say its 2010, and my wife won't replace her T39 for anything newer. She does not even know about the Bluetooth, but I can use BT to backup the phone book using MyPhoneExplorer which is an excellent free program (donation solicited).

I bought the phone as reconditioned from Hong Kong on Ebay and it has been a great buy. My wife took it over when the aerial on her 768 fell off.

Main attractions are the battery life, retro looki and active flip.

Hoorayyyy!!! after searching more than 6 months, finally I got this stuff...
Even this is old phone, but I like it coz battery can stand until 4 days. Not like current phone that has to many function and high battery consumption.
For me this evergreen phone is a best phone ever.

An excellent phone and my very first before my big sister "borrowed" the phone and eventually destroyed it so I had to get a new one. It's 2010 the year of touchscreen phones, iphones and a windows 7 phone but all I want right now is to get my hands on one functional T39 and remember the good times when phones were phones.

This phone has got to be the undisputed champion of its time, and by far the best Ericsson phone so far! I have owned nearly the entire range of them, and this one is definitely the king. Same small size as the T28, Bluetooth, GPRS, browser, infrared, all frequency bands, vibrating ring, great audio and a fantastic battery time. As a former Ericsson employee, I couldn't wait forever to get an approval to purchase this one when it came out, so I forked out 4300 SEK ($600 USD) for it. I am disappointed in having sold it to an ex-girlfriend just because I replaced it for the golden T68 - foolish decision. Grant it, the T68 was real an amazing phone to have a color display, but the finishing was terrible, and the color peeled off all the time. I didn't like the joystick either. I REALLY miss my T39!
