Summary: Awesome Gadget
Review: This handset is awesome. There is no problem with the reception also. It just works great. To test the reception, I changed my SIM to another phone that I had (earlier t-mobil handset) and the signal strength is the same. Apart from sleek looks and good batttery life this handset just rocks out of box. It has bluetooth and infra red connectivity other than tons of other features packed in this powerfull handset. I can connect my laptop to internet through the infrared connectivity of the cellphone (no additional stuff needed). It would have been better with few navigational shortcuts specially like entering a number in addressbook but I have seen no problem in using it. This phone has all the technology available in market except taking videos or listening to mp3 but for it's price, it simply rocks. Features to personalize (ring tones/types, pictures, shortcuts, browsing, alarm, organizer, voice memo, messaging/email, games, camera etc) are very cool. Reception is not a problem though I feel it's fine per t-mobile network. There are other carriers with wider netword but frankly speaking, in 98% of the times, that's not needed. I had been using Sprint for 3 years and have now switched to t-mobile family plan (my wife was using t-mobile for 2 years without a problem). This phone is GSM tri-band and works in most of the countries . Got for it and enjoy !!

Summary: T-Mobile has the worst reception!
Review: T-Mobile is the worst carrier you could ever have. It can drop your call in the middle of the conversation, and the signal is very unstable. It could vary from strong to nothing while you are holding your phone up high. I even got not error messages saying "no socket available" when I was trying to check my voice messages at 2 a.m. on a Saturday night. The quality of the line is so poor that you have to scream on the phone all the time and it makes you repeat something simple numerous times! It's so frustrating.... I will terminate it once the contract is up. I would not sign up with them again even if they offer many free minutes because it could turn your good day into a real bad day!!! You can't even carry a conversation over 3 mins without the call being dropped.

Summary: Love this phone
Review: I've had ~10 cell phones in the last 8 years, and this by far my favorite.INTERFACE: Excellent interface and controls - the joystick is literally a joy to use. Designed to be easily used with one hand. The screens are laid out logically and intuitively. Once using a phone with a joystick control, there's no going back. SIZE AND SHAPE: excellent. Easily fits into a shirt pocket. Does hot have protruding antenna to snap off like my previous Motorola phone. RECEPTION: very good, perhaps not as good as some other phones. But this has not been a problem for me. Why? My previous phones would get reception in some ares where this phone will not, but it was BAD reception - the kind where you can only hear every other word. With my T610 it tends to either have adequate reception or no reception. I much prefer this than trying to speak to someone with a crappy connection where everyone gets frustrated. I also get good reception where I expect it, unlike my previous AT&T phone. TMOBILE SERIVCE: Ok so far, but some issues. I am having a problem sending e-mail from my phone. Only about 1/2 of them seem to get delivered. Will have to see how I manage this on my bill, as I had to resend several pictures from a vacation. Don't want to pay for sending the same pics twice. t-zones is ok, but probably not worth the extra $5. They need to get more content out there. CAMERA: I thought this was stupid when I ordered the phone, but I'm actually using it. It allows me to take quick, spontaneous shots and immediately send them to people. Very cool and fun. The quality of the picture is not good - it's a phone, not a digital camera. Given the size and convenience, it's great. VOICE QUALITY: great. Sounds as good or better than any phone I've had. SUMMARY: great phone, some T-mobile issues need to be worked out, but so far this is a 5 star phone.

Summary: good phone
Review: I was scared to get this phone cuz of some of the negetive reviews that I saw but im happy that I got this phone. it is true that its hard to see the screen in the bright day light and I always have to wipe the screen of cuz it gets dirty, but my biggest concern is the reception of the phone. sometimes I dont have any reception but all I have to do is to look at the phone for few seconds and it would work, I still have not gotten the full reception in my whole area yet but it works just fine. I read a reviwe that says a bar in sonny ericsson phone means two bars in other phone and I am starting to believe that.

Summary: its an OKAY phone
Review: If you're used to the Nokias and the Samsungs, you may find navigation a little hard.. Be warned: If you try installing Sony's IR Modem Driver on a computer (with IR port or even Bluetooth) running Win XP Professional ( mine has Service Pack 1) as per their website instructions, you may end up freezing your computer. I didn't use Bluetooth. I had a similar problem with IR enabled on my Toshiba Tecra 8100 as soon as I installed the IR driver in the computer's "Phone and Modem Settings" option.
