looking for... a phone that 'flashes" when ringing

[danny burstein]

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.

Thanks

At least all Nokia models keep the display lights flashing when a call is
alerting.

The Nokia 3220 has it's own little disco each time it receives a
call...........

The Motorola v3i has a flashing blue logo disk when ringing.

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

that's not what he means. what other good idea can you think of letting some
one know their phone going off?

I know keep it on you and switch on vibrate. so I think I'm safe to say he
doesn't want to keep it on him. well not 100% of the time.

Are you deliberately trying to be obtuse, or was it just a piss poor attempt
at humour?

Not at all. I just figured I'd answer back before
anyone suggested I set the phone to vibrate
and leave it in my pocket...

Erm, yes, which is why I was replying to "Nigel Reed". You made your point
quite clearly.

So, you're going to be WATCHING the phone to see if it rings?

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:

I've used a little accessory that can induct the signal of the mobile.When
there's a call coming in, it blinks. It's suitable for your situation I
think. You can put it outside while your mobile phone in bag.

Sony Ericsson z520. Mine has 8 different light effects to chose from.
Mine's on Cingular so it should be compatible with T-mobile.

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