Sony Ericsson TM506
Sony Ericsson TM506
The Sony Ericsson TM506 is yet another 3G smart phone from the Sony Ericsson stable with a pleasant array of features and a pleasing design.
Although Sony Ericsson doesn’t try to make a bold style statement with this phone, the TM506 is a very attractive and sturdy piece of hardware. It is very slim at 0.7 inches thickness and weighs in at 3.4 ounces, giving a sleek look to the phone. The Sony Ericsson TM506 will look equally impressive in the boardroom as well as a night club. The hinge also feels very strong and reliable when opening and closing.
The internal 2.25 inch display is colorful and vibrant with customizable brightness. Viewing photos and videos and playing games is a treat on this screen. The Sony Ericsson TM506 stands up to Sony Ericsson’s tradition of making great mobile displays.
The controls on the TM506 mobile phone’s keypad are very easy to use. It features a circular toggle and a central OK button, surround by raised ring so that they can be easily differentiated. The others keys are also well laid out, while the keys are flat, but large enough so that it prevents misdials. There is a dedicated power button conveniently placed at the bottom of the keypad.
As in another other phone from the Walkman series, listening to music through the provided Sony TM506’s headphones is a pleasure and the quality lives up to Sony Ericsson’s reputation. Being a 3G enabled phone, it offers a good browsing experience and also good call quality. At its price, the Sony Ericsson TM506 offers good bang for the buck and we have no hesitation in recommending it to anybody looking for a good 3G phone.
