Summary: awesome phone
Review: This is a great phone; tons of functionality, a beautiful screen, good reception, long battery life. Very user-friendly and adjustable to your personal use preferences. Camera quality not so good, but what do you expect from a TINY phone that you can carry with you anywhere! I love it!

Summary: Poor customer Service from Amazon's part
Review: Amazon's Wireless activation is slow, however they came thru by upgrading my shipping to next day :). Also, customers need to be proactive if they order more than 1 phones as there have to me multiple credit checks for multiple lines :shocked:!!Anyways, I am rating the phone 3 star as I have only had it for 2 days. So far the GUI has been very intuitive and if I had any problem, I immediately looked at the manual. There are some very cool features in this phone. It is a mini-PDA, mini-digital-camera, mini-cell-phone and much more. T-Mobile's call quality has been iffy until now. I would give some time before I start bashing or rewarding them for their coverage. I do agree with a lot of posters about their CS. It is definately a lot better from AT&T's! Some negatives - 1. Very small for people with large hands. You WILL have trouble finding the right keys. Also, prolonged use of text messaging may cause finger fatigue. 2. Camera's resolution is very poor. I guess you can't expect much out of such a small lens.

Summary: Has everything!
Review: I just bought this phone and I'm pretty happy with it. I wasn't going to get it because I really didn't want a camera. But since it was free after rebates...you can't beat that since it also came with a free bluetooth headset which works great.
Just have to keep an eye on the pictures you take because it only has 2MB of space and it fills quick. Don't download ringtones or wallpapers from t-mobile. At 99 cents a pop, it's expensive for what you get. Get a bluetooth usb adapter for your pc or use the IR feature that notebooks have. Using that you can send wallpapers and MIDI files to your phone for free. Do a Yahoo search for "midi files" and you'll find collections that people have. I just downloaded a bunch of TV sounds like "Looney Tunes." My only complaint is not with the phone, but with T-Mobile. I used them when I lived in Germany and like GSM however over here the coverage isn't as good as my old service Verizon. The signal isn't as strong at home and I don't get a signal at all at my friends. Verizon is a bit more pricey and they don't have a good selection of phones. T-Mobile is cheaper, has better phones you can use the phone in Europe. Hopefully T-Mobile with expand their GSM coverage. I guess each company has it pluses and minuses. The T610 Phone gets 5 stars, T-Mobile gets 4 only for lack of coverage. I'd give Verizon 4 starts because of the costs (they get you with the fees) and poor selection of cool phones. Good luck.

Summary: Awesome little phone
Review: First, the most amazing thing about the phone is its size! This is the smallest phone I have ever seen, and the fact that it includes a camera, bluetooth, and pda functionality is simply stunning. Reception was awesome with T-Mobile. Even in my apartment where Sprint and AT&T barely work, everything was solid during an hour long conversation and the person could hear me loud and clear. They could even hear me putting away dishes! I really liked the joystick-based navigation, which made browsing through menus easy and precise. The camera was average, about the same as Sanyo 8100. There are a few negatives that keep this phone just short of a 5 star rating. Probably the biggest is lack of speakerphone, which I found surprising for a $200 phone. I guess they're assuming you'll go for the wireless headset, but for me, speakerphone is a convenience I just can't do without. I felt the phone was almost too small at first, difficult to keep in your hand and easy to press the wrong buttons, but was able to adjust in a few days. The biggest problem for me though was the lack of the standard "call" and "end" keys. Placing and ending calls was easy enough to figure out, but getting out of the internet requires bringing up the "more" menu and selecting exit. I kept having to remind myself of this procedure. I should note I didn't get to work with the pda features much or try syncing with my computer, as installing the software required Microsoft Outlook, which I don't have. All and all, a great little phone. If you want something small and light and don't mind not having a speakerphone, I would definately recommend.

Summary: Only reason to buy is for the bluetooth
Review: Other than the bluetooth (which is wonderful), this thing is a major pain. Batter runs down fast; keys are too small; menus are convoluted; reception stinks. The camera is ok, but not at all essential...as is the color screen.

Summary: Amazing Phone with cool features and amazing amazon service
Review: I have had a lot of phones over 3 years (from nokia 3390, 3395, siemens, samsun ngh625 and lastly T616) and now i just recently bought two 610's. They are a piece of art. I have never loved any phone this much. And for the price (100 dollars back in pocket) there is no comparison. The ring tones are amazing, the contacts manager is just great. I love the bluetooth and sync it with my laptop all the time with my outlook. I love the feature of associating photos taken from the camera with the contacts so that when you get a call the photo pops up. Sound quality and reception has been comparable to most phones i had (i was on cingular and just moved to tmobile). The buttons might be a little small for someone with huge hands but they are fine. The gprs also works great to surf and email from the phone or surf the web from your bluetooth pc. The IRDA also works well but why use the slow connection when you have faster bluetooth. I have tried syncing between phones,pc,pda and everything works great. A must have if this is your first or the 50th

Summary: Great Features, weak signal
Review: I purchased the phone because it had lots of good reviews and everyone kept saying how wonderful all the features are. You even get a free Jabra headset with it. Once I started using the phone I realized that all those features are really nice, but I could not get reception in some places where a friend of mine with an older sony-ericsson phone had no problems. The battery life was about 40% shorter than his. Overall the reception is intermittent and could be better. At first thought I could deal with it, but after a week of missed calls, switched to a different phone with a stronger signal... If you live in an flat area with good coverage, then this wont be a problem, but in the hilly San Diego, its worthless.

Summary: FANTASTIC!!!
Review: I love this phone! I ordered it from Amazon with the free Jabra Bluetooth headset. Even with activation, you can now end up getting paid (after rebate) to order this phone with T-Mobile service. I had Sprint before, but got dropped often (in Fairfield County, CT). No problems yet with T-mobile... and good coverage in the burbs even away from the highways. The fact that I can leave the phone in my bag and dial by voice via my cordless headset still amazes me. This is a no-brainer. The only problem is that you may have to wait a couple of weeks to get the phone as Amazon has been overwhelmed with orders for this phone.

Summary: The Best practical phone :)
Review: I simply love this phone, not only because of a ton of very useful features but the fact they are practical and can be customized. I think both sony and ericsson has done a exceelent job. This phone does not get hot in the ear piece after extended use which alot of phones do as they get more and more fancy and colourful and tiny. The only thing i don't like is that when you put the phone to vibrate, its not that strong, but thats not a big deal.

Summary: GREAT PHONE, but internet connection can be annoying!
Review: The phone itself is fantastic, full color, pictures, voice dialing, voice recorder, themes, etc. The only complaint I have is that in order to connect to the internet you have to turn the phone off and on again just before connecting. This is because the phone requires a "fresh" signal or will not connect (this info came stright from T-Mobile). Not a major problem, but tedious nonetheless. I still rate it at a 4 (outside of the interent issue it is a 5)
