Ericsson
A2618s

The Ericsson A2618s was introduced in 2000 as a replacement for the very popular A1018s. It included several enhanced features. The address book could store up to 100 telephone numbers and associated names in the phone's memory with voice activated dialling and short cut keypad dialling for the first 9 entries. The call lists recorded the last 20 dialled, answered or missed calls. The A2618s included time and date functions, an alarm clock, a stop watch, call timers and basic function calculator. It could also send and receive SMS text messages and some personalisation by selecting from a range of pre-loaded ring tone melodies, by composing your own ring tone and by changing the external covers. Three games were also provided on the phone, Tetris, Erix and E-Maze. Limited Internet access was provided to mobile services using the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) over an SMS bearer.
