The Bottom Line	The Motorola Active W450 finally brings a rugged phone to T-Mobile, but not without compromising its usability.	The Motorola W490 is a practical phone for making calls; just don't count on its camera to be of much use.	The Sony Ericsson TM506 has a couple of faults, but it's broad 3G support and integrated GPS makes it a welcome addition to T-Mobile's lineup.	The Motorola Rokr E8 is a top choice for a T-Mobile music phone, if you can master the phone's novel, though slightly quirky, controls.	The Sony Ericsson Equinox TM717 has potential, but its multimedia features are undermined by design missteps and a subpar speakerphone.
