Cellular Phone Forum / General / GSM / November 2007looking for... a phone that 'flashes" when ringing
I'm often in noisy work areas or using headphones. I'd like a phone that, when a call comes in, has a bright 'blink' or flashing mode, so that it would be clearly visible. (having the phone in my pocket in "vibrate" mode isn't a good option). Anyone know of such a beast? needs to be GSM and USA t-mobile compatable. Size, weight, not critical.

At least all Nokia models keep the display lights flashing when a call is alerting. -A > "danny burstein" <dannyb@panix.com> kirjoitti > viestissä:Pine.NEB.4.63.0607261212370.15060@panix5.panix.com...

Having a phone that lights up in your pocket isn't much use either, is it?

T-Mo used to carry the Nokia 3220. If you can't find one at T-Mo, you should be able to get one on eBay: http://press.nokia.com/PR/200405/947495_5.html http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=538 SignatureSteve Sobol, Professional Geek ** Java/VB/VC/PHP/Perl ** Linux/*BSD/Windows Apple Valley, California PGP:0xE3AE35ED It's all fun and games until someone starts a bonfire in the living room.

It's suitable for your situation I think. You can put it outside while your mobile phone in bag.

Motorola V550, v600, v620, v635 all meet your requirements (the 620 and 635 even let you choose your flashing pattern) |
