This phone's a surprise package with many useful features stuffed in it. It's got great camera and decent support for web stuff like IM, YouTube, Email, Browsing, etc. It's sleek, small, compact and feels good to hold on. There are some minor flaws like too many pop-up notification boxes that can't be turned off and strange signal indicator behavior. Overall it makes for a great phone and definitely one of the best phones to be available in T-Mobile line up.
I got this phone last week and should say am pretty impressed by its performance. Has great design, good call quality, superb UI and loud speaker. Texting is just fun on this phone with its flat keypad and even the gps works well and is responsive.
This phone is awesome with excellent call clarity, incoming calls are nice and loud. It also has a great interior display with bright colors but however the lights doesn't stay on very long. Even though it's sold without usb, I like this phone a lot in which emailing is made simple and would also suggest others to go for it.
TM506 makes for a good bargain with lots of features for the sale price. The menu is very simple to browse around and even the keyboard is nice and well lit. Display is great with high res graphics and even battery strength is good.
Nice phone to lay your hands on. Looks great, feels sturdy and comes with excellent call clarity and battery life. Even though the max volume doesn't get high, it's got sharp and clear music quality. The phone takes a while to respond sometimes, when the buttons are pushed or when it's opened but it's a minor problem.
