Sony Ericsson TM506


This close cousin of the Z780 supports T-Mobile’s 3G network, but is otherwise similar. Key features include GPS, QVGA display, 2 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, music player, memory card slot, HSDPA data, and a full web browser plus RSS reader.

I believe from young to old there is something for everyone. I purchased the amber accent color though the green might work well for younger people. The phone is 3G and if you live in a TMO 3G area this phone really rocks. T-Zones load quickly, Internet access is excellent and the browser works well. Text messages send almost immediately and email is just as fast.

The camera is OK at best … no cover, no flash but it does take a nice clean picture. The phone’s screen is excellent, large bright and easy to read. The menus are very user friendly and offer quite a few options from the usual wallpaper and ringtones to actually using the phone as a remote control. Call quality is pretty standard. I would suggest this inexpensive, solid built phone for just about anyone.
