Vibrating Alert: Noise or no noise around you? Regardless of situation, the T28 vibrating alert is guaranteed to ring a silent bell. Profiles: personalisation with 6 profiles with automatic intelligent switching. e.g. switching to "home" profile when dropped into the desktop charger. Choice of 18 ringtones, and 4 personal ones. New Menu System: Ericsson have designed a brand new user interface for the T28, using a mixture of graphics using the T28 is like operating your favourite computer software. Active Flip: With the active flip you do not have to use the keypad to answer or end phone calls. To receive an incoming call, just open the flip and the call is answered. To end the call you just close the flip again. In a carkit the phone will function normally. You will be able to answer the phone by opening the flip and you terminate the call when you close it.

To use Voice Answer, you program the voice tages for "answer" and "busy" in the settings. To answer or "busy" calls to answerphone you just say these words to the phone when it rings.
