Summary: EXCELLENT PHONE - Just Buy it
Review: I read a lot of reviews before getting this phone. Let me dispel some myths1. Hard to see or read display in outdoors - Just decrease the contrast to -5 and you'll be fine 2. Volume too low -- who says so...its pretty good. The problem is that since its a small phone people tend to align the mic next to the mouth which means the speaker is not aligned to the ear. Just hold the phone so that the speaker is aligned to the ear and dont bother about the mic as the mic is exceptional and is designed to pick up your voice clearly even when not aligned with the mouth. Also the headset included with the phone for free by Sony ericsson is excellent. 3. The phone heats up - No way - I was on a two hour call yesterday and it warmed up marginally. 4. The phone smudges a lot - so what, just rub it against your shirt and its sparkling clean. Unlike other phones the smooth surface does not let any dust stick to it. One wipe and its clean. 5. Transferring pictures by IR is super quick 6. The only disadvantage I see is that the picture quality - indoor shots with night mode turn out to be excellent and crisp. Outdoor shots are hazy. This phone is great in all other respects and best of all its very very light and sleek

Summary: The worst?
Review: Sony-Ericson has the WORST interface for simple users. If you just want the basics, drop this phone like a hot potato.

Summary: Excellent phone with a sweet price
Review: I UNLOCK my phone and upgrade the firmware to the latest SonyEricsson firmware. It fixes a lot of problem, better reception, and menu is faster. Let me know if you want to UNLOCK/UPGRADE your phone (unlock_sonyericsson@hotmail.com). I owned three SE T610 and loving it. This is a REAL worldphone because of the TRI band (900,1800,1900). It will works everywhere in the world where GSM is the standard. About the reception, REMEMBER SonyEricsson T610 is using a LIVE meter so its constanly searching and display a TRUE meter not like other phones where they take a snapshot and only update every few minutes. I can still call on my T610 even the meter bar is only showing only 1. Great phone for the money and the feature!!!

Summary: Best Phone Yet
Review: After using about a dozen cell phones in the past 5 years I have found a phone I love to use. I get great reception (but it may be from switching from ATT Wireless to TMobile) and love the color display. My only two negatives about the phone is the keypad is a little small for my fat fingers (you should see me type on a full -size keyboard!). The other downside is the address book is a little hard to navigate (but that might be a learning curve on my part). I would feel very comfortable recommending this phone to a friend.

Summary: Great deal but lousy shipping policy
Review: The vendor who is shipping the phone waived off the receiving party's signature, hence FEDEX left the phone outside my apt door and it was stolen. Not once, but twice. They don't learn from their mistakes now do they? Its been a harrowing experience, a month since I placed my order. Wouldn't recommend this vendor 'CellStar'.

Summary: Sony Ericsson T610/T-Mobile -- A Mixed Bag
Review: I bought the Sony Ericsson T610 in December 2003 because I was disatisfied with the customer service of my current carrier and wanted a bluetooth capable phone. The results have been mixed. On the plus side, T-Mobile did an excellent job transferring my existing cell number and their customer service has so far been good. The T610's bluetooth capability also works as promised, as does the very cool Jabra wireless headset that Amazon packaged with the phone. Unfortunately, the phone has a very poorly designed interface that is difficult to use and often requires multiple steps to perform simple functions that my Sprint-Samsung A500 did easily. The T610's voice recognition and voice dialing functions are almost completely unusable (a feature I truly miss from Sprint), and there is also no plain vanilla ring tone appropriate for business use. From a service standpoint, T-Mobile's coverage in the South Florida area seems to have just as many holes as Sprint's -- they're just in different locations -- and dropped calls are still a problem. In short, while number portability is a great convenience, all cellular providers have shortcomings, so don't expect a change in phones or carriers to be a quick fix for the problems you may be experiencing with your current service.

Summary: Great Phone ! people giving low ratings should read this !!!
Review: Let me say that this phone is good. Let me clarify some of the complaints made by many people.. People say reception in this phone sucks. Actually its not true, I am saying this after doing a lot of research. Sony Ericsson measures reception differently...So 3 bars in sony ericsson might equivalent to 5 bars of nokia or other brand. One great thing about T610, is that it hardly drops calls. True that at some places, the 610 has only a bar while other phones might have 2-3 bars. But even at 1 bar, the voice quality is absolutely perfect, no distortion and calls dont get dropped even at one bar while other phones do. So if one says that reception of SE is not good just coz it shows less number of bars than other phones, then they are wrong. Also i feel this reception has to do quite a lot to do with the network. I travelled abroad and used this phone in 3 other countries and there wasnt ANY reception problem at all, whatsoever. It's true that its kinda difficult to see the screen at daylight, but seriously speaking, its not that bad. I mean a person with normal eyesight can see the screen at daylight, though it may be bit hard,its not that bad, and thats no way a reason be negative about the phone. Camera, ya, there are better camera phones in the market. I personally, didnt go for the camera, so that wasnt a problem for me. If you are for the camera, then you can go for other phones.
This phone camera , is not bad..i mean ok.I mean there are worse camera phones in the market too. This camera when compared to all the camera phones, i would mark it as average. Sound quality is superb.I just love it. Some people may say that its difficult to hear. Actually that very much depends on the phone the person uses to speak to you. So dont blame your phone for it. Ya , the ringtone is increasing, but it increases veyr quickly, in the sense , after just a ring or so, its comes to its normal volume, so it is quite unlikely, one would drop calls. Shape looks really cool ,elite,small, elegant...latest technology, bluetooth...its a really nice phone. I would definately give it a 5 star. Those giving low ratings on this phone, please read this review again and hopefully you'll understand that the phone is not as bad as you thought.

Summary: useless phone, simply deaf
Review: T610 phone is useless. I took T-Mobile connection, the phone doesn't pickup signal in my office, my friends has other types of phones from T-Mobile, those phones works just fine. It's a great looking little phone with camera etc. Unfortunately Ericsson forgot the fact that people who misled by reviews, may use this device as a phone as well. It works well were the signal is strong. Since it's a cell phone we expect to use it as a mobile phone and will ended up by using in places where the signal is strong. Just to make it clear, we tried this phone side by side with Nokia 3595 and Motorola V66 phones. T610 simply doesn't work and 3595 and V66 phones worked well. T610 not just showing zero 'bars', T610 DOESN'T WORK. Not sure Why Sony Ericsson is making our life difficult by selling this useless product. I have one-year contract with T-Mobile and I have to live with this scarp phone or buy a new phone. Previously I had Nokia and Samsung phones they were simply excellent. Ericsson is telling "We have no issues that we are aware of." I feel like they are lying to the people who are the tragic evidence of T610 reception. We have seen other phones working with T-Mobil Service next to our cube. One thing you must understand is T610 phones have serious problems in reception. Not sure Ericsson ever tested this product or any one in Ericsson uses T610. This product is designed to make your life much difficult. Lat week I bought a Samsung R225m (which was the cheapest phone available in the T-Mobile store). It works pretty well! I'm so happy that I can receive and make calls :)

Summary: Great, fun, sleek, entertaining
Review: I got this phone for Christmas expecting the Nokia 3650, but was still very pleased. Comparing this phone to my friend's Nokia 3650 I found a few pros and cons between them
But focusing on the T616, this ia great phone and easy to use. Although I haven't taken advantage of the personal ring tones, pictures, and email I still am very entertained and it has the largest availability of games to download (for 2 dollars). I didn't receieve this phone from Amazon though so I have no complaints about the service. The only complaints I have is the resolution of the pictures (I know it is only a phone but compared to all the other camera phones on the market right now it is very poor), and the small amount of memory storage for saving pictures (after only 17 pictures I ran out of memory and had to delete some of the pictures that came with the phone. All-in-all the voice commands are a huge breeze and wireless internet can let you keep up to date on current stocks, news, and wheather reports.
