Summary: my phone
Review: I got one of theas phone back in October and i thought it was cooler than sliced bread. However i soon learnd that it just did'nt have the internal memory to preform all of it's functions smothly and is prone to crash or lock up. Cool phone lots of extras like blue tooth and camera but might be a little ahead of it's time.

Summary: Very Bad Service with Sony Ericsson
Review: The Service is very bad. They took my phone for service one more than a month back and they have not yet returned my phone. I'm waiting for one month to receive my replacement phone.

There customer support center is in Canada and the repair center is in North Carolina. And every time you call them, they say will get in touch with the North Carolina center through e-mail to know the status. This takes lot of time.

I never expected this kind of a service from Sony-Ericsson.

I will give -5 stars for the service

Summary: No reception
Review: I dont get even a single bar at home (North Brunswick,NJ). Does not work in most places. I havent been able to place a single call. I am taking it back to the Store. I think Sony put everything into this Phone except a cell phone.

Summary: to dnodelius from Houston (Business use)
Review: dnodelius,
FYI:

1. To enter a pause: hold "7"
2. The voice issue you described has nothing to do with the phone itself but with the carrier (T-Mobile).
You can switch off the text message notification by calling your voicemail and change your settings.
3. No problem with Bluetooth connectivity with my T610 bought through Amazon. Mine has Firmware R1S001 and built 03W43 fyi.

Some mentioned RF issues, personally I am really happy with my T610. I tested it in NY, NJ and South FL and I got better reception and sound quality than with my Nokia 6610.

I recommend this mobile.
Hard to resist the price too ;-)

Summary: Nice camera features, no reception Tmobile will replace!
Review: This phone was unusable in most of San Francisco. For all those local to the city .... I had no bars outside Forgein Cinema on Mission street and twenty-second street. After three weeks of poor reception missing calls from friends, family and my boss.

The small store I bought my phone from gave me a stick on antenna that seemed to do nothing.

I went to a T-mobile store and complained about T-mobile's coverage area thinking it was the carrier. The sales person said the T610 was known to have poor reception. He allowed me to leave a credit card impression and check out a working floor model with my SIM chip. I have compared the reception in my apartment to the Nokia 3650 (...)

The T610 had zero to one near windows only.

The Nokia had one to three bars and never dropped my call, even when I walked in my bathroom and closets.

The Nokia 3650 has an ugly keypad and is much larger but it works as a phone, has speaker capabilities (Fun for making feedback noise when you are testing it;p) AND has larger pics (640x480)

I miss the nice effects from my T610 (negative and sepia were nice) but sometimes I forget when I can actualy use my Nokia as a phone.

I have also had experiences with rude, unknowledgeable T-mobile phone support. For all those people who had the same I highly recommend talking to the sales guys at the T-mobile store. I bought my phone from a small local store and they still loaned me a phone to try and were very helpful.

Thanks T-mobile!

Best of Luck!

Summary: Super Valuable!
Review: Compared with other sonyericsson products such as z600 or z1010, this guy is significantly cheaper, and, looks even a lot more sexier. What's more, its blue teeth technology is kind of predominant over next-generation sonyericsson stuff.

Summary: Flawed phone - not as good as it seems
Review: On the surface, this appears to be a good phone, and there's nothing to tip you off about two major flaws in any of the reviews or documentation available.

1. You cannot store multiple entries for the same 10-digit phone number; for example, parents who live at the same house but carry different cell phones, or business contacts with the same main number and different extensions. Nor is there any provision for dialing an extension automatically after a main number. Say you deal with Tom in Marketing at 111-555-6666 ext 222 and Mary in Legal at 111-555-6666 ext 333. Most phones will allow you to insert a non-numerical character to indicate a pause before dialing the appropriate extension. Not so with the T610, which only allows numerical characters. Both Tom's and Mary's numbers would both be stored under Mary's entry in the phone book, and you will be, as I am, carrying an additional notepad with all their extensions on it.

ADDENDUM: Thanks to Brightcell's contribution, I know how to insert a pause after a main number. :) However, the phone strips off non-numeric characters when importing from a PC address book, and there's nothing about "pressing and holding 7" in the T610 manual. Neither T-Mobile user support nor technical support was aware of this feature. To be completely fair, I tacked on a star to my overall rating.

2. If you access your voicemail 20 times a day like I do, expect a lot of unnecessary keystrokes. Instead of a simple voicemail indicator flag like most phones, the T610 provides a text message (an e-mail) indicating you have a voicemail. You must read and delete this, then back out to the main menu to access your voicemail. The options menu for the e-mail message includes "Call Voicemail"...but this doesn't work owing to some incorrect programming (and I have verified this with T-Mobile tech support).

ADDENDUM: Brightcell's contribution not withstanding, T-Mobile support confirms that there is no way for a user to turn this "feature" off. Their tech support rep offered to turn off voicemail notification altogether, which I declined. This, they said, was the ONLY way to make the notification e-mail stop. If pairing with T-Mobile service, be aware that they do not know how to make their service work properly with these phones.

There are actually a number of other minor issues with this phone, including intermittent Bluetooth connectivity, a microphone that picks up every last bit of ambient sound and is almost impossible to use in a car, the fact that the battery wears out quickly even in "lock" mode because hitting any key activates the backlight...but all these things I could overlook, were it not for the two major issues above. On the plus side, it is small, cheap and has SOME kind of Bluetooth connectivity.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great phone, no complaints
Review: I've had this phone for several months now, and it has incredible battery life, even with running Bluetooth almost constantly both my laptop and the Jabra hands free unit. The unit is also solid, as I can say I have dropped it a couple of times on a hard floor and have had little more than a scuff on the case. I am very impressed with the GSM reception despite the lack of an external antenna. The screen is bright and easy to read and this is a great phone for connectivity with a laptop and to the internet. Audio quality is awesome too. I have no complaint for this phone, and at the price, it really can't be beat.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Value - and T-Mobile Adds to it!
Review: I decided to jump ship, and port my number from Sprint PCS to T-Mobile. This phone, with Bluetooth, the free Jabra Bluetooth headset, and -$100 price, won me over. I've had it for one week now, and here are my thoughts on some of the debated items:

RECEPTION: Sony Ericsson phones measure reception quality different from other phones. In the office, my T610 will only show 1-2 bars, while my wife's Samsung shows 4 bars, and my workmate's Nokia shows 4 bars as well. But my T610 has never dropped a call, while the Samsung and Nokia do. After some research on the reception display, Sony Ericsson is more conservative on how many bars are displayed. Remember, measure reception on sound quality and dropped calls, not how many bars are on the screen. I've been satisfied with the reception of the T610.

CAMERA: You should not buy a camera phone expecting great picture quality. The T610's quality is very satisfactory for what is was designed for. I like the Night feature, which does a great job in low light conditions.

DISPLAY: Here is where I love this phone. The 65K color display is very clean, the screen is large, and the display is far more smooth than any other phone out there IMHO. And it blends very elegantly into this very good looking phone.

BLUETOOTH: What can you say...one week and I could never live without it again! And it's built right into this small package, so you don't have to use a clunky connector on your phone (if your model is even supported). Very nice!

T-MOBILE SERVICE: So far, I'm very impressed with T-Mobile's service. Their CS has been very friendly, and my hold times have been less than one minute every time. I like the idea of the SIM Card (being able to save my account info and phone no's when I switch to a new phone every 9 months...and I know this has been a GSM standard for years, but I've been with Sprint PCS for the last 6 years, so it's new to me).

And their plans are the top value out there, especially when you consider everything included (t-zone WAP access, fax mail, etc...)

I would highly recommed this phone...just make sure to get a leather case (or pouch, since I think a case diminishes the beauty of a phone) to protect it.
