Summary: AWESOME PHONE
Review: I RECENTLY RECEIVED THIS PHONE FROM A PROMOTION OFFERED BY CINGULAR. THIS IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE BEST PHONES THAT I HAVE HAD. I AM ABLE TO STORE ALOT OF INFO ON THIS PHONE SUCH AS EMAIL ADDRESSES, HOME,WORK AND CELL NUMBERS, IT HAS A CALENDER, STOPWATCH, ALARM, JUST SO MANY FEATURES THAT I CAN'T EVEN NAME. THE GAMES ARE AWESOME, AND SO ARE THE DOWNLOADABLE RINGTONES. MY FAVORITE FEATURE FOR MY PHONE IS THE RINGTONES. I HAVE HAD FAMILY AND FRIENDS RECORD THEIR VOICES AND WHEN THEY CALL ME, I CAN IDENTIFY THEM WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE PHONE. I JUST THINK THAT IS THE MOST AWESOME THING.

Summary: I too was 'told' by ATT to Down Grade!
Review: I too, out of no where received this T226 for free from ATT.
On the back of the notice they say something like...
'Now just send us your old T68i in the pre paid envolope'
Ya Right!!! You DONT have to and SHOULD NOT send it back anyway.
Basically its a downgrade.Over all I like the new design of the T226, but it lacks most of the advanced features, IR Bluetooth, World Band GSM, that the previous reviews speak of.
But if anything the poor and utterly useless AT&T GSM network reception is at best marginally improved in those 'non-peak' areas. And have you ever had to deal with an overbilling or customer service; I for one am going to dump ATT when my contracts expires even if John D. Zeglis himself begs me not to. Anyway the point is if your in question, AT&T cant penalize you in anyway for keeping them BOTH, you didnt ask for it.
If anyone asks where there phone is, just tell them the new T226 box didn't fit in that little brown pre-paid envolope they provided' ;)

Review: I was drawn in by its color screen and its small size, but when it came down to it, I am desperate to return to my clunky, back-lit 3 year old Nokia. I'm extremely disappointed in the brand as a whole. I have no reception, constantly find that the phone disconnects and says that the encryption is switched off or on, and when I drive 15 minutes away from home, I have to select the right network so I don't have to pay roaming charges. I had a different sony to begin with, but (imagine this) it was worse! I couldn't get any reception. Stick with the Nokia and stay far away from these sony ericssons!

Summary: Why downgrade to a T226?
Review: I went from carrying a phone and a palm to just the T68i. With bluetooth sync with outlook I was able to adjust my contacts daily as I collect potential clients! What an efficient communication tool. Recently I was forced to downgrade by ATT from the T68i with bluetooth sync for calendar, contacts and tasks to a T226 without bluetooth. Maybe I should send both phones back in the return envelope and switch service - what do you think?

Summary: Fair Phone, Pooooor service!
Review: I will rate the phone to 3 star while 1 star for ATT wireless service. I will only talk about some cons below. The only pro is with 1c plus 100 MIR, you get what you've paid for. To the phone:
1) The operation is not easy. Here are some example, to save a received phone numer, Press menu -> 3 Calls->2 List -> find the number -> m ->2 add number -> 1 New contact -> Type H/W/M-> Name ..... and during this process, if you want to exit and make a call, you have to press NO for 8 times! And some operations take a long delay.
2) The keypad is so compact. It becomes extremely annoying when you have to press them a lot for above operations.
3) The Earbud and charging ports are tight. Be careful not to break anything when you plug/unplug. To the service, ATT wireless is just "usable". So far I haven't found dead spots in Houston. But the voice quality is so poor: you will miss some words, the voice hears like trembling in the wind. Because I used to use Cingular TDMA service: its voice is digitally clear, just like wired phones at home, I find the ATT voice quality is untolerable. It's a pity Cingular no longer provides TDMA to new customers. Calling the customer serive? never do that if you have better ways to solve the problem. I tried once and got stuck on the phoneline for an hour and being transferred several times. Although the phone coming from Amazon has already been activated and has a new number, and Amazon claims they don't have a way to transfer your previous phone number, ATT does provide phone number transfer service from other wireless companies, just call their local number porting department. Anyway, ATT wireless provides 30 day trial, but not completely free: you will have to pay the calls made, and return shipping charge to Amazon. So confirm with someone who is using ATT in your area before you decide to buy it.
Hope the merging with Cingular will help them to improve their service.

Summary: Not the best phone I've ever owned...
Review: I've had this phone for less than 6 months and since last month, it started making this HORRIBLE loud noise on my end of the line. Think of nails on a chalkboard at 1000 decibels. That is how irritating this noise is. It just started out of the blue. I never dropped the phone, got it wet, or made any mods to it. In fact, my boyfriend bought the same phone about 2 weeks after I did, and now his makes that horrible noise too!!
So here I sit...waiting for my replacement phone to arrive from AT&T, which will cost me $25.00 in processing fees! It was either $25.00, or send the thing to Sony Ericsson for repair which would take over 4 weeks. No thank you.
Aside from the deafening noise, this phone could use a little more work. The keys are pretty hard to use and I have tiny fingers. The ringtones get very old very quickly and some of them are really cheesy. Same with the wallpapers. If I had to find a phone now, I'd probably opt for something a little newer...or just go back to good ol' Nokia.

Summary: Tiny buttons make this phone tough to use
Review: If you text don't get this phone. No voice activated dialing and just not as user friendly as I would have hoped. It does have it's good points like the color monitor and ability to download polyphonic ringtones but there aren't as many available for this phone as for others.
