With WCDMA 1700 and 2100 MHz support, the Sony Ericsson TM506 is set for a T-mobile launch. While the last Sony Ericsson to sell on the carrier’s network was the T610 back in July 2003, the recent launch of the 1700 MHz band is well deserving for some SE love. Although T-mobile has not confirmed the device and we only have FCC filings to go by, the last of the big four carriers to launch a 3G network is the only likely candidate to make use of the 1700 / 2100 MHz bands. The Sony Ericsson TM506 is a clamshell phone with dual band GSM / EDGE running on 850 and 1900 MHz and in the FCC photos T-mobile branding pretty much seals the deal.
According to the FCC documents, the TM506 has Bluetooth, aGPS, memory card slot, camera and can access streaming TV and Videos. While we doubt that T-mobile will be launching a streaming TV service anytime soon, seeing as their 3G rollout has taken years, we can’t help but be optimistic.
