Trying to decide from either the Nokia 3589i or Kyocera SE47. I am currently
a T-mobile customer and I am not happy at all with the lousy reception of
the SonyEricson T300

The 3589i is awesome - I'm thrilled with mine. Great reception, great
battery life.

As a customer who is happy with both T-Mobile and Verizon, I would agree
the 3589i is a very good *phone*. I use my phone mainly as a phone, so
that's what I rate it for, and as a phone the 3589i is very good --
great reception, to my ears acceptable voice quality (actually very good
quality for the person at the other end of the call) and very good (for
CDMA) battery life, though using the display a lot will shorten it markedly.

Cons *as a phone* are color display which is unreadable without
backlight, and directional buttons that take you to possibly pay-per-use
services (browser and getmore). You also need a rather expensive cable
to backup the phonebook to a computer: no IR or BlueTooth.

(My current T-Mobile phone is now old: a Motorola P280 which has great
call quality, great reception if there is a T-Mobile signal within
sniffing distance and so-so (but adequate) battery life.)

It also has a crappy resolution on the display (blocky letters like the old
DOS displays), and looks "cheap" to me.

It does work very well though <G>! (my son-in-law has one)
