I was interested in purchasing the t509 from tmobile but I can't find a review of the phone from somebody who actually owns the phone. All I can find is websites trying to sell them to me.
The most important things to me is the reception and sound quality.
How the reception on this phone?
Does anyone know if this phone has good or bad call quality?
Plus if anyone has the phone what are your opinions on it? (pros and cons)

I had bought the phone 2 days ago and ended up returning it :-/ Basically, it looks very nice and the screen is the best in the market. However, the software inside is a POS according to me:
1) You cannot use isync on your mac
2) Cannot sync contacts with addressbook on the mac via bluetooth
3) Cannot use it as a remote for your mac
4) People were saying that my voice sounded very reverbish (slight echo + as if i was speaking in a large hall)
5) You cannot set an mp3 as a ringtone - only as an alarm!! However, I was reading up about the t809 and there seems to be a loophole - read my other post and it *might* work - can anyone confirm this?
Good Luck!!

Does anyone else have the same problem, or any other problems wit the phone? I'm ordering in directly through t-mobile ( I can get a better price over the phone then in a store) so returning it would be a pain.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The phone rox... the only problem I foresee is answering it without meaning to. Granted, I just now got it. But if its in your pocket.. and someone calls you dont want to talk to... accidentally answering it is a possibility having nothing to cover the buttons with. Clarity, on the other hand, I have absolutly no problem with. Kinda funny to..i get terrible reception normaly here at my house.. i dont know though.

Nice, so u get good reception in your hosue when you dont normally? Thats a good point too, knowing my luck I'll pull the phone outta my pocket only to see that I'm on an international phone call for 34 minutes or something, lol. I still can't get over how nice the screen is on that phone. But as long as the call clarity is crystal I wanna pick up this phone on Sat. Thanks for the feedback.
