Sony Ericsson TM506 Design and Build

Design and Build

The TM506 is compact and lightweight, measuring 95 x 48 x 17 mm and weighing just 96 grams. Its clamshell design allowed it to stand out from the candy-bar shapes predominantly seen around that time. The front of the phone features a monochrome external display that provided basic information like time, date, and caller ID without needing to open the device. The physical build is robust, with attractive color options including Chrome with Amber, Emerald, and Scarlet, capturing a sense of elegance and modern style. The use of a Mini-SIM card slot reflects the standard for many of those years.
