I currently have this phone and it is AWFUL! It keeps turning on and off on me randomly. It freezes almost every time I open if and I have to wait until it processes me selecting the menu button or any button. I keep dropping calls and not receiving missed calls or text messages. I am currently on my 2nd phone waiting for the replacement (3rd) to come in the mail. Luckily I bought insurance on it so I will be getting a different phone. I feel awful for anyone who did not buy the insurance because for the most part people think it is a scam, but after the nightmare I have had with this phone and my previous phone I decided to pay for it which turned out to be a good investment.

I have a sony ericcson tm506 and have been loving it. i have watched movies that i've loaded onto my memory card, played games, made mini movies, listen to satellite radio, email, and so much more. hell i can text while talking on the phone or even listen to my downloaded mp3s while surfing the web and when i'm walking i can listen to my music and still have my phone closed. most people i come across have paid big bucks for their phones and it can't even do half of what mine can. i can even control my friends' ps3 from it. that's a hell of a phone for under 50 bucks. i have had my troubles with the phone. one time the phone would not access the internet ut after doing some troubleshooting that was fixed. then another time the phone wouldn't turn on, but t-mobile replaced the phone.then another time the buttons stopped working and sony ericcson replaced it. if anyone is having troubles with their sony ericcson just contact the company and they will replace it, regardless if you have a warranty or not.

I have two of these phones, the scarlet, and the emerald (my mothers). I have had a replacement phone and battery, and the phone is having the same problems, its sluggish, and turns its self off randomly. My moms does the same only it shuts off more frequently (at least once a day), and she was told it was the battery. I called to ask about the issue again, and I was informed that there is an update for it, but I would have to do it from my home computer. I was then advised I would need to purchase a usb cable for this phone, which I am upset about since it didn't come with one. Now I have to probably go spend money just to try and fix the phones, and waste money on a cable, I will probably never use again. The phone looked nice, but it turned out to be very dissapointing.

> In reply to Pierre-Louis Ricardo @ 2010-06-03 19:25 from PHkK - click to readI want my money back. Two phones in 14 months, now out of warranty. No manufacture should be allowed to foster this junk on the public. T-mobile or Sony should be required to make good on this terrible product. How can I get my money back?

Hi, I'm using a Sony Ericsson TM506 and when trying to access an option in the menu, it display blank but U press the OPEN button it displays it correctly.For example, when U open the CONTACT, it seems to be blank, but when select OPEN, U can see the detail concerning the contact that U have saved.So How could I resolve that please?

Yup....I'm browsing on here trying to find solutions.It's still shuts off...Piece o' crap....hard to navigate, spent money on memory and it doesn't recognize it... I did like the big outside time display sold me. But getting it to come on is another trick. Now I'm suppose to upgrade to a text phone...I think it's all a scam.

have had the phone for a few months but from the start there have been problems and yes it is extremly sluggish at times but it is a good phone but the processing time it has is way too long and slow and some buttons randomly stopped working i had too shut it down for a while then restart it then the buttins were working fine

the phone for minimal use is good but once u start to down load, its down hill from there honestly i didn't expect this from sony they have a better reputation than this

Reading a manual only goes so far, the average child knows how to make calls, text and some of the other stuff, don't try to be rocket scientist manual reading is not the problem, the problem is this phone is another sony loser products.

> In reply to djapolinares @ 2010-01-26 17:04 from IauK - click to readThe phone was new I had not even had it six months before experiencing problems w/the phone. They replaced it and I am still experiencing the same problems. Please do not try to hype this phone it's horrible. I have replaced the phone once, the phone was new and it slow when you make calls, make a mistake in texting the recovery time is slow, it shut off by itself, turn it off and it time a long time to turn on, if it turn on, get many drop calls, then it take a period of time to get the reception back. Do not hype the goodness of this phone I have seen cheaper phones perform better. Sony is still not up w/technology times and it's a shame many companies are moving forward they are moving backward.
