Good enough

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2004
The Bottom Line: Not bad for a free phone, but better alternatives are available if you want to pay the extra cash.
Review: Indeed, The Man (a.k.a., the folks at my office) -- with a little help from his ruthless agent (a.k.a., my wife) -- convinced me to get a cellular phone. I hate cellular phones with a blind passion, but it seems I missed one call too many from work...

Not Bad (not stellar either)

Date of Review:  Apr 19, 2004
The Bottom Line: Too many quirks, get it if it's offered free with your plan
Review: Sony Ericcson's T226 is the latest budget/entry level compact cell phone. I'm going to compare the T226 to it's cousin the T68i, which I've used before.

My father's T68i, while loaded with features, still didn't sound as clear as my T226...

Beautiful Color Screen does not overtake Problems of tiny buttons and size

Date of Review:  Jun 3, 2004
The Bottom Line: You can do better. It's small size is ultimately the cell phone's undoing. You can find a beter designed small phone.
Review: First, I have been slightly dissatisfied with the wireless service, AT&T, I use with this phone. That being said, this review will focus on the little phone that I use on this unit.

I have used the phone since January, 2004, but found...

Not Worth Complaining About

Date of Review:  Jun 15, 2004
The Bottom Line: An excellent value if you use your mobile telephone for communicating with others. Less impressive if you must be entertained by ringtones and such.
Review: If you care about games, IM'ing your friends, or listening to Top 10 hits as ringtones, get another phone. If you care about having a TINY mobile with EXCELLENT reception and audio, you can't go wrong with this little guy. (Of course, all of this is...

Good for basics, go elsewhere for advanced

Date of Review:  Mar 16, 2005
The Bottom Line: Adequate for basics, can make and receive phone calls with good reception. Though feature filled, low screen resolution limits use of advanced graphics features.
Review: This is a review of the T237 (basically the T226 design with a few feature updates including speakerphone, no separate category on Epinions for T237). If you are looking for a cheap phone for basic low volume calling (as landlineless using it on...

Sony Ericsson T226 Mobile Phone

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: Very compact and light weight. The sound quality overall is pretty good.
Review: This phone was released around January of 2003. The T226 works under the networks GSM 850 / 1900. Measuring only 102mm x 43mm x 18 mm and having a weight of only 79 grams, this cell phone makes an interesting tool. This would definitely suit the...

Teeny tiny cell phone

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2004
Review: I do like T226 i get good reception, a color screen, and an overall nice phone. I would have to say that the Camera attachment that comes with it is an absolute JOKE! and the ringtones that come with it are horrible, i mean your body is a wonderland...

T226

Date of Review:  Aug 27, 2005
Review: The Sony Ericsson T226 is an average cell phone for the average cell user. It comes with a basic set of features and nothing else. The phone does sometimes have problems maintaining calls without disconnecting and the call quality can be on the low...

Not too good...Not too bad

Date of Review:  Sep 12, 2004
Review: I got this one as a free upgrade to my T68i, so not a bad phone when you get it for free. One thing that I would specifically like to mention here is that somehow the dust particles got behind the screen and now they are there kind of permanently. I...

Should have stayed with Nokia

Date of Review:  Oct 8, 2004
Review: Got this phone in May 2004, signed on for another 2-year plan with my carrier. I've always taken advantage of my hardware upgrade options every 2 years with my carrier. I had 3 Nokia sets before this one, and man do I miss my Nokia. I hate the...
