T-Mobile - Sony Ericsson TM506 Cell Phone Review

I got this phone, the Sony Ericsson TM509 about 9 months ago, as part of the freebie selection from T-Mobile.  It is a slick looking phone (I picked the black), and is very sturdy.  Between my clumbsiness and my four kids it has certainly taken a beating, and just keeps on working.  My only issues with the phone are that the battery does not last very long.  It stays at 4 bars for about a day, and then as soon as it starts dropping it is as good as dead.  I have to remember to plug it back in on a daily basis.  The second thing that I don't like is that the outside display is so small, you can't have photo caller id.  On the positives the reception is very good.  I have never had static or problems with calls.  Some of that might be the T-Mobile service, but I'm sure some of it is also with the phone.  So I'm sure this phone will hang in there for the next year until my contract renews, but I'm not sure I would pick the same phone next time.
