Looking for a stylish flip phone that won't break the bank? Sony Ericsson has you covered with the TM717 Equinox, a 3G phone with a solid array of features for just $49.99 (with a two-year contract and after rebates). The Equinox is a successor to the excellent TM506, an earlier Editors' Choice winner. The Equinox includes an upgraded 3.2 megapixel camera, a stereo FM radio, new styling, and some new bling—including changing wallpaper schemes and a series of flashing pulse effects you can assign to five favorite contacts. But in an era when interchangeable microSD memory cards, MicroUSB chargers and 3.5-mm headsets have become industry standards, Sony Ericsson needs to get with the program.
