Yeah, mainly because they were surely designed to make calls. And not like the ones know that can be more than a phone.

@nykon, 10 years from now, all our latest handsets would be "ugly".

The best combo for an everyday phone would be the T39m features... crammed into the T28s shell.
Complete with spring flip.
I still have my T28s. Although it's buggy already, I still keep it for sentimental reasons.
I also still have my R310s... which has a busted system connector, so I can't charge it anymore... but I found a work-around... I had the CDT-10 Desktop charger for the T28s... which happens to have the same battery contacts as the R310s battery... found on the rear spare battery charger!!!
So I made a make-shift R310s battery charger from my old T28s desktop charger!
So my R310s is back in service for when I go scuba diving!
As much as I love my P910i.... I'm still not too fond of Sony's styling influence where buttons are boxy... and if you need a function...just add more buttons all over the phone. Geez... Why do we have a separate power button? The extended press on the NO key worked fine... less clutter. The "OK" button and "Back" button are kinda dumb too... these could've easily been soft keys or the oldd Ericsson YES/NO. Would've made more sense.
Anyway... I'm still trying to see if I can have my T28s serviced since it has trouble locking onto a signal. But never the less, I still love the way it looks. The T66 came close... but it didn't look as sleek.

Well its like the 1st gen iPod being more popular, its retro!
and finally, retro doesnt mean out of style, nor large phones
finally we can own a SMALL and LOVELY retro phone!

Thanks to all of you for the comentaries !
Vanquish, as you mentioned the iPod, an idea came to my brain : at the beginning of iPod era, the "happy fews" that had one started to do "ipodjacking" : when they saw in the street another guy with white earbuds they came by and plug their own earphones in the other one's iPod. Just to listen a while what he was listening...
Well I think we should do something like that : when you see a guy with a /// phone, let's say t39, t28 o r520 and so on, show him your own Ericsson beauty and share the pleasure !

i got a new t28 about 3 months ago for £30, its perfect as a 'pub phone' for those nights you dont want to go out & trash your p900!
(the slow menus and no T9 do get on your nerves though
)
other than that its a top looking retro phone, when i started using it loads of friends did that pub thing "ooooohh got a new phone have we?" and picked it up and played with it for a few minutes before realizing its actually really old but IMO still one hell of a looker, i really want SE to make an update of the t28, same size with the flip but if it had up to date menus & a colour screen it would kick ass!

@numero6: I understand you perfectly! I am at the point of taking a similar decision. Abandon my K700i for the T39m. i am so bored of all these useless camera and colour display stuff, I want a nice beautiful small pure phone. I believe that the T39 and the T28 are two of the most beautiful phones ever produced

@alkis
Think you are most def right!! All the phones these days have things on them most people dont use! U want a camera with decent pics? Buy a proper digi camera! You want to listen to music? Buy an iPod or similar!! At least the old phones did what they were meant to! No one seems to think that consumers want a tiny slim phone anymore! Wheres the replacement for the T28 SE??? Come on, get your act together, as much as I love my p910, its TOO big!!!
