Sony Ericsson has added T-Mobile to its carrier partners in the U.S. The TM506, coming in early September, is Sony Ericsson’s first handset supporting T-Mobile’s AWS spectrum (1700/2100) – AKA 3G network. The TM506 is a compact clamshell phone which Sony Ericsson claims will deliver an exceptional Web experience.
“The TM506 not only signifies Sony Ericsson’s expanding U.S. portfolio of handsets, but more importantly, that we have forged a strong and promising relationship with T-Mobile,” said Najmi Jarwala, president of Sony Ericsson North America. “With the launch of the TM506 with T-Mobile, Sony Ericsson is positioned to offer more choice of mobile handsets for a broader range of U.S. consumer segments at a variety of price points.”
