Summary: Good, compact, elegant phone
Review: This product is good. It has features and it is also good looking and elegant.
Sure Nokia 3650 has more features than this. This cannot take short movies and picture resolution is max 288x352. But other features are good. It has irDA and Bluetooth. Talk and stand by time are also acceptable.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice phone, good quality product.
Review: This mobile is really good. It is a lot faster in operation of the menus than my previous phones (Siemens, Nokia) The memory is a bit small, but you only run into problems if you take too many photos. I was disapointed that you have to pay for t-zones to send photos to email addresses, but instead you can always transfer the photo via IR to your computer and attach it manually. The little joystick nub thingy takes a little getting used to, but it really makes things easy to navigate. I don't know how to switch between networks manually on the phone but that isn't such a big deal as there is coverage most everywhere I go.

Summary: Looks nice but very difficult to use
Review: I bought this phone considering it is much smaller than Nokia 3650 and does not have circular keypad. The major issue is ease of use, No seperate keys for Talk and end call. Every time you are in menus you have to press back button, not able to figure out how to go back to main screen in one click. The back button is embedded in the middle instead of corner, thats easy to press. The picture quality is bad. Another good thing missing is speaker phone, wish they had it. If I dont get used to the interface, I will return the phone and go ahead with Nokia 3650, it is big but it seems to have all the functionality and ease of use.
The good feature is it synchronizes very well with outlook but puts the company name at the end of person's name, Wish the sw can ignore that. I would also like to selective synchronization of names if possible.

Summary: Great phone. Wish it had automatic timezone detection!
Review: Got it yesterday and have been thrilled with it. Part of the excitement is also migrtating from a 4 line text display to a full colour one with 'stuff' like SMS and mail etc. But overall the phone is good value for money (free? could it be better?) and works well with the Jabra freespeak that came with it.

The only gripe i have is that the new phones (or may be just this one) doesnt automatically switch across timezones. The 'auto timezone' feature only flips between winter and Daylight savings in the current timezone. You also have to manually set the time in the machine as well (this is probably a service provider issue)!! That kinda sux cos I travel a lot and was used to that 'feature' (?) on the old cell.

Other than that, its cool. Buy the right calling plan and you can do a lot with this fone. It is NOT the porche/lamborgini of phones so dont too many cool features like in the new P900. But whatever it has, works well. Good for the casual user. If you intend to work with lots of documents etc on the cell, get a PDA!

This is primarily a voice call cell phone with excellent text and picture messaging capabilities. The regular address book / organizer / settings are common across all phones. I still have to figure out how to have a personalized ring tone for my sweety but other than that, controls are intuitive (RTFM in case they arent for any reason!) and its lighter than a lot of phones I have tried.

Voice quality is good (even on the jabra freespeak), but I have a wireless network at home and beyond 15 feet (and 2 walls) the bluetooth quality degrades gracefully. People in my workplace are surprised to see me 'talking to myself' !! :) its cool. works, fashinable, light, right size and works well. Power users should buy a PDA but I recommend it to the regular user (primarily voice calls / SMS).

Summary: Great lil phone...
Review: Have 3 of these phones on my Family plan... with light useage (1 hour of talk and few messages per day) the phone needs charging every other day. The cameras picture quality is ok for phone to phone messaging but isn't suitable for viewing on a pc or for printing. Signal quality is good and the phone was able to maintain a constant connection for well over an hour to t-mobiles customer service and wireless data groups technical support. Works adequately with the Jabra Bluetooth headset. Voice commands work great in quiet rooms but its hit and miss when noise levels rise...and if your car window is open while on the road forget it..

Summary: Great product but has flaws
Review: I have used the T 610 for about two months. Overall, my experience has been positive. I like the color screen, the megatones, the battery life and the size. The user interface is OK, too. At first it seems confusing but with time you get used to it. After all, the phone has quite a few functions so there have to be some compromises with usability vs. features.

The phone seems poorly built, though. When I squeeze the sides of the phone, the parts rub against each other and squeek. But the phone does not disintegrate so I guess this is a 'feature' not a defect. Also, the wide screen gets smudged quickly.

My biggest complaint is about the phone freezing. I had an appointment scheduled in the Outlook calendar and the phone was on silent. When the reminder came on, the phone vibrated and froze when I wanted to see the details about the appointment. None of the buttons, including the On/Off button worked.

To get out of that situation I had to call the phone from another telephone, and that is when T 610 came back to life.

Overall, it is an excellent phone except for the Microsoft product in it. But then, what else do you expect?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: T610 best value on the market today
Review: I've had the T610 for a month now and the performance of this phone has exceeded my expectations.

1. The high-resolution screen is teriffic! The 128x160 screen with 65,536 colors makes both images and pictures look accurate. The screen seems to portray images accurately and minimizes color nuances. This is a huge improvement over the Sprint phone I was using before.

2. The battery life is excellent! I can talk for over 10 hours (the company says 13, but I haven't counted) without a recharge! I find myself recharging the phone just once a week with normal usage.

3. The camera on the phone works pretty well. The clarity is comparable to most camera phones available from Sprint, although there is no flash. The lack of a flash is made up for by a "night mode" setting on the phone. The night mode works OK, although there has to be adequate ambient lighting avaialbe. All in all, as long as the subject is withing a few feet, you can take a fairly clear picture, and the . One detractor is the camera can only hold about pictures before the (2Mb) memory is full.

4. The bluetooth option is nice, if you have a bluetooth capable PDA or laptop. Transferring e-mails, files, pictures, etc. is pretty simple.

5. The speaker on the phone is clear and the ring tones sound better than most phones I've used.

6. The games on this phone rock. Who can argue with having Q*bert on their phone?

Bottomline, this is a great phone for the money (you can probably get it for $100 or less right now), and you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Great phone, only one BIG flaw......
Review: I've had the T610 for two weeks now, and it is everything it's advertised to be. The user interface is nearly flawless, the buttons work "bigger" then they are, even with large fingers, and the clarity are stunning. I have only dropped one call, and that was in downtown Dallas, among the large buildings.

Now for my one issue...the power-down feature. After 30 seconds or so of no activity, the screen goes power-down black, like a PC. This in itself is great, it conserves battery power. The problem is that it does this after ANY activity! If you miss a call, or receive a message or a page, the screen displays a nicely designed message stating "missed call"........and then the screen goes black. The basic situation is that, if you're away from your phone for more then a minute, the screen is black regardless of any and all activity on the phone. And until you touch a button to re-activate the screen, you will not know! This is a very irriating situation, and can be disasterous if your business or personal life means that you can't afford to miss calls! It seems a rather large oversight on the part of Sony Ericcson's engineering design team...an almost total disregard to the user, and how we use our phones.
