Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Compatible with Cingular cell phone service, the Sony-Ericsson T226 features a 512 color LCD screen (101 x 80 pixels) for the bright display of caller info, pictures, games, and more. It provides dual-band 850/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS service for excellent range and clarity.
The T226's mobile Internet browser lets you check sports scores, local weather and more using high speed GPRS data services. You only pay for data sent--not total airtime, so costs can stay low. For gaming, the T226's five-way "rocker" joystick gives the controls a real gaming feel. The phone comes with a variety of games, and promises more to download when you're done with those. The phone's audio abilities include a second speaker to boost its polyphonic ring tones that use up to 32 simultaneous notes. And you also get polyphonic sound with the games. You can even record your own voice and use it as a ring signal.
Other key calling features include: voice memo picture phonebook, contacts, WAP 2.0 support, alarm clock, backlight display, calculator calendar, call list, clock, e-mail, EMS (enhanced messaging), high speed data transfer, MMS (Multimedia Messaging), MMS templates, melody composer, mobile chat, phone book, picture gallery, SMS (text messaging), sound recorder, stopwatch, style-up covers, themes display, timer, and a viewfinder display.
For fun, you can use the attachable (but not included) Communicam MCA-25 to take pictures and load them into your phone, or send them via advanced text messaging email to your friends. Sony Ericsson also provides free downloadable software for you to edit your pictures and the Sony Ericsson MMS Home Studio for designing multimedia messages, which can contain things like a photo and a spoken greeting. You can also take pictures of your friends and attach it to their contact info in the T226's phone book so you can see who's calling. When that person calls, his or her picture is displayed on the screen. Or, save their shining faces in your phone as wallpaper.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Dont believe the trash talk...great little phone!,
This review is from: Sony Ericsson T226 Phone (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
Wow, unbelievable amount of negative reviews for this solid, compact little guy.
Where to start...After two years im moving on to another phone, this was my first cell phone ever, I was stoked as hell to get such a tiny moderm marvel, I quickly dove in to see what this phone had to offer...and realize it has MUCH more than meets the eye if you probe it for a bit... ------- Pros - - Durable DURABLE DUURRABBLLEE!!!! - Did I mention this phone was durable? I've dropped it in a hottub for 20 minutes at a time without realizing, dropped it 20 feet from a top riser at staples (im an employee), and also driven away with it on the top of my truck in the middle of a fight with a girlfriend and had it land in a ditch full of water in 3 pieces only to find it 30 hours later...all of which the phone instantly booted upon me putting it back together. Id be happy to ever have another piece of electronic equipment that was as durable as this phone. - Tiny, sleek, compact, non flip (I prefer non flip) - The way I can throw this thing in my pocket/truck/bookbag is great, its not too bulky, and looks cool...plus no flippin it open, just look... - Ability to download own ringtones, pics, games - This is where it really stands out, if your a techie, you can set up your own WAP server / website (which i did), and host all the ringtones, games, and pics that you want...and also, I did some research, and took the ability to put your voice as a ringtone, and figured out what the file format was, and found a way to convert .mp3's to be able to play as a ringtone on this phone! But I guess thats only useful if your a tech nut. - Battery Life - I dont know what everyone else is raving about, after nearly 2 years, im finally seeing my battery life start to deteriorate...This phone has gone through 3 Phone hungry girlfriends and sometimes id be on for hours at a time, 5-6 days in a row with one charge... ------- Cons - Very few... -Life - After 2 years, battery life is growing bad, and the buttons are all washed out, even some of the paint is coming off, but hell, thats after 2 years, its almost expected. -No camera / mp3 support - These arent even an issue for me but I thought I'd throw 'em in there anway...who the hell needs a camera on their phone? Thats what my uh...camera is for...and frankly, I find most .mp3 ringtones obnoxious anyway... -SOMETIMES slow OS - Sometimes the menu will lag up when I get too fast for it, but that could just be the tech inside of me flying through the menu's and tappin away at the txt menu screen. ------- Overall, I give this little guy 5 out of 5 stars no question. I'd recommend it to any first time cell user, teenage, or even tech buff, it covers all the areas that all of those would require. And for the next phone? Should be here soon, Im sticking with sony and purchased a Z520a... -Andy

I actually love this phone!!!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Sony Ericsson T226 Phone (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
Unlike all the other reviewers - almost all of them, anyway - I really like my phone. I got it for Christmas 03 and it has always worked beautifully and never broken even when I dropped it in a parking lot. Doesn't scrach easily and the ONLY probs are that sometimes (once in a blue moon) it will black out. AND you have to attach the camera which irritates me. :(

good, compact phone,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sony Ericsson T226 Phone (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
I've had my T226 phone for a couple weeks so far and I have had nothing to complain about. Reception in Fresno and LA has been very good. The phone is very light and compact, it easily fits in my pants pocket. Checking the weather forecast and sports scores is quite easy, an unexpected bonus. The only downside that I have observed is that in bright sunlight the color screen can be difficult to read. This phone is being used with Cingular Wireless.
