I'm just wondering which phone do you guyz think is better? How are the RF's of the M55? I hear that the T226 has pretty good RF. And is the M55 easy to use and durable?
Thanks!!!

I've had the M55 a couple of days now and the RF seems to be very decent - not sure if this is specific to the phone or just that I've forgotten how much better Fido's GSM is compared to AT&T. I think one of the issues u must look at is do u need the 850 band - as in is it avialable where u are and where you potentially expect to be. The other consideration is going on Rogers AT&T vs Fido - unless you are going to buy one on the open market.
As a phone, the M55 has been absolutely wonderful so far, very compact and light and the operation is not wholly different from the old SE T68i
I reckon you should get ur money's worth on both phones but it comes down to the ubiquituous 850-band

I've tried both and I think the M55 feels more solid and has better audio quality.

But mobilecow is right...the 850 band could make a difference depending on where you're located...

EDIT: Although...since M56 is basically the same phone...it may be possible to flash the M55 with a full flash of the M56 if there is one out there...

Up in RH, I put my Rogers Sim into my M55 and vice versa into my V60g and found that fido in the suburbs generally have better reception a significant difference regardless of phone brand/model.
