| cld43's Full Review: Sony Ericsson T61LX Cell Phone |
I bought this phone from an AT&T store, and it was the only multi-band phone they carried at that branch. I had to return one phone because the end key didn't work. I had to power off the phone to end some of my calls.
I also had a problem where it wasn't picking up one band of service. When my phone said "AT&T" (instead of "AT&T Wireless"), I got an error msg and couldn't make a call.
I had to call customer service 5 times before it was resolved, and one customer service guy said they had this problem a lot with this model only. While trying to resolve it, my phone would temporarily move into "AT&T Wireless" mode, so we couldn't test if fixes had worked. Apparently, in most phone you can force it to pick up one band or the other, but it's not a feature on this phone.
It's also hard to get the back off the phone (which I had to do several times during troubleshooting).
