I've had this phone for almost a year now, and I really do enjoy this phone. I can put music, movies, videos, pictures on it via the computer, which is nice. The display is bright with sharp colors, which is really good when I play movies and videos. The music player is very good too, with various sound settings and equalizer. Calls sound very good and texting is no problem. Picture quality isn't too bad with the camera. The "pan and zoom" feature is nice when viewing pictures. The size took a little gettin' used to though(I had a small Samsung flip phone before this one), but overall this is a really nice phone.

When I try to get my camera on, to take a picture, it brings up the loading page and immediately goes back to my main page. Can anyone help me?

I have been using this phone for 8 months now, and just couple days ago it has started to turn off by itself. The battery is charged, and somethis it can be ok for whole night, and another time I have turn it back on every half an hour. Did anybody had this prblem with TM506?

I think this phone sucks.Very weak battery.Very slow motion.Returned one get a second (because the stupid contract with t-mobile)Second one the same.Think to use it like a spare.Think to buy Nokia 5800.Heard its great one.

I feel that a lot of the people that purchase this phone don't take the time to read the manual that come with it..... the TM506 is a great phone..... for those of you that like to text a lot more than talk on your phone.... it great.... just take the time to learn as to how this feature works.... you would not be desapointed .... the 3G technology on it is great.... the web comes quit (at about 1 sec w/3G full signal)...

there is no radio on it.... only nokias have that.... it is better to buy the memory card reader than the usb cable ... i recomended..... so please get to know your phone like you would your first date .... adios i gracias....

Good Signal, Sounds Good, it's a Sony Ericsson. Only problem is that's a slow version! Open apps. or everything you want to work with it is slow, CPU slow! Is a good equipment, just the slow of the CPU don't make it Perfect!

the reason you can't send picture message because your receiver is using factory Unlocked phone , this TM506 is the same as Z770i but the TM506 is a little bit slower then Z770i because T-Mobile have to down load there software on it , this phone is supper for a Free phone at T_Mobile , good picture 2PIX & video is 100% satisfies very loud & clear music player , the best thing on this phone is the screen solution supper clear & bright i love this phone i had expensive phone before like Sony c905 or other Motorola phone but this TM506 not bad at all , good luck people.

I got this phone just two days back. It takes photographs pretty well and video recording is not bad at all. I just have one problem I have no idea why I can't send the pictures I take to someone as a message and how do I use the internet on this phone?? Also is their an FM radio in it or not? Everytime I try sending the pictures as a message using a phone number to someone I keep getting an error, and I can't send it to an email address either. The GPS doesn't seem to work, I need help with this.

They give you one ear phone, you can only stick in one ear. No memory card included. It has a stupid Sony Ericsson plug on the bottom of the phone so you can't use any plug-in device but theirs. This phone is also a giant finger print magnet.

I returned this phone so fast that I didn't have time to see how much this phone stinks.
