Summary: T610 Great Phone, and excellent value
Review: I purchased the T610 little over two months ago, and I should say that, this is a beautiful phone, looking as sharp as it is! Its sleek and elegantly solid design is distinguishing it well above all the competition. It is visually powerful in every detail.
Apart from its design features I need to say that it has some shortfalls and details needing improvement. It had never crashed on me, yet, and has proven its reliability. The network connections are up to T Mobile, and depend also on the region in which is being used. But, don't forget that it is a "world" phone, designed for, and available all around the world. The battery life is the one that needs most improvement, and the "joystick" is too sensitive. Its interface may not be the most user friendly, but the Bluetooth technology is quite useful especially when is accompanied by free Jabra headset! By the way, its original headset is not up to the standarts of this particular phone, since its a cheap carry over from previous models. It does not have built in FM stereo, but there is a mini FM attachment available on the market. The color display is probably one of the best in the market, but the camera capabilities are almost useless, unless there is an "emergency". Talking about comparison with other phones on the market, and after owning and using Nokias, Siemens, and others, I reckon that each set has its ups and downs, and is designed with specific goals, for particular market. And the idea of a "perfect" cell phone, could hardly be conceived and accomplished.
Overall it is an excellent phone that is already quite popular everywhere, and has proven the partnership between Sony and Ericsson, as a succesful one!

Summary: Terrible reception
Review: This phone has terrible reception. Forget what you hear from these people that say Sony Ericsson has a different type of signal indicator and all that crap. The simple fact is that this phone does not get a signal, or gets a weak signal, where some other phones like the V300 get a good signal. In addition, even when this phone has a signal, it still cuts in and out during calls.The microphone picks up a ton of background noise making it very difficult for people to hear you when you are anywhere with any noise in the background at all. The camera on my phone has a horizontal line going across the middle of the phone. This may be my particular phone. Besides that, the quality of the camera is very poor compared to other phones. The phone freezes up at random, requiring you to turn the phone off or take the battery out to get it to restart. T-Mobile suggested a master reset, which incidentally wipes out everything you have saved on the phone, including settings, contacts, appointments, pictures, etc. Not convenient. Anyway, it seems to have solved the problem for the most part, only hanging once since then. I would like to point out though that T-Mobile has very, very good customer service. I have called in several times, at different times of the day, and have never had to wait on hold for more than 30 seconds. With AT&T, waiting 30 minutes to an hour is normal! And that's assuming the system doesn't hang up on you. Also, my girlfriend has the Motorola V300 which works very well on the network. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. Get the V300. You will thank me for it.

Summary: Looks good but theres more to looks...
Review: I have had this phone for around 3 months so far. I really love the appearance of the phone but it is very diffacult to do some things on it. For example, it is hard to text message compared to other phones. You have to click the numbe rof the letter yiou want and then choose the lettrer and hten press ok for each letter instead of clicking or doubleclicking th emumber of the lette ryou want. Another thing was that it is perhaps too small... that i always would lose it in my purse. But the camera works ok, I might add the nokiA 3650 WORKS MUCH BETTER AND HAS A VIDEO SURVICE AS WELL..)My dughter has the Nokia 3650 and it has much better fixes and easier to text. It also takes pictures much clearer and has a better screen even thou it is big. I wished I had choosen that phone.

Summary: Great phone
Review: Great phone. Liked the IR part the most. I could get my 150 odd contacts into my cellphone in a few seconds. I braced for protocol compatibility issues, but there were none. To me, that alone is good enough to buy this phone. Minuses I can corroborate... ring volume takes a ring or two to ramp up even when increasing ring is turned off, screen not very visible in bright light, no speakerphone, screen is ultra sensitive to dirt, you have to accept a dirty screen instead of trying to compulsively clean it. I have not been disappointed with T-mobile service or anything. Actually I now get service at work which I never got with AT&T wireless. In fact, get this, the ONLY provider that works at my workplace is t-mobile. At home, AT&T wireless used to be better, but I dont really mind. Sim unlocking.. for people who are eager to use another sim card (eg. while travelling abroad), here's a bit of a semi-surprise... even though t-mobile allows sim unlocking (as opposed to any other gsm provider I know of), your account needs to be atleast 3 months old. I've never understood the fuss about sim unlocking. You've already got me on a contract for crying out loud! What difference does it make if I PAY for your service and use somebody else's?? Somebody here said something about timed profile not being a feature on this phone. I've never had this feature before, but coming to think of it, it'd be quite useful.

Summary: Comparison with Nokia 7210
Review: I had a Nokia 7210 until last week and decided to upgrade to T610.
It seems to be a great phone but the following is a list of features that I immediately missed (that I previously had in Nokia): a) loudspeaker - not to mention the single click access to it
b) timed profile - I could put the phone on any mode (e.g. silent) for a defined period of time, so when I am out of the meeting the phone goes back to the original setting without me having to remember
c) any form of handsfree - everything is optional
d) screen saver kicks in even if there are missed calls - so instead of being able to notice missed calls just by looking at the phone, one actually needs to activate the phone by pressing on something
e) screen is very sensitive to any type of touch - no wonder Sony provide a cleaning cloth - another thing to carry with you at all times!
f) a silly button on the top-right hand side of the phone: when clicked by mistake it automatically connects to the internet - always lock the keypad!
g) do not by mistake push the "mouse" to the left as it also connects automatically to the internet - always lock the keypad!
h) no FM Things that this phone has and Nokia didn't: i) camera - although the quality is very poor compared to say Moto V600 - I do not think I will use that feature much
ii) Bluetooth - although that means nothing unless you have the optional bluetooth headset, USB dongle or another Bluetooth phone around
iii) bigger and more hi-tech icon-based screen - although cannot be seen from any angle other than directly in front - it would have also helped had it been a touch screen! All in all I should have stayed with the Nokia - but I was too hasty and also ordered the headset so there is no way back now. I will try to provide an update when I receive the Sony 35 headset. Cheerio

Summary: T-Mobile has Terrible Customer Service
Review: This phone works fine but it does not allow you to block your number on all outgoing calls. You have to click through the options to hide your number every time you call someone. This phone is for work and protecting my personal number is necessary. If I had know I had to block my number every time I used it I would have selected a different one. The first rep at T-Mobile I spoke with said I could permanently hide my number myself (which you can't) and the second rep said it wasn't an option on the T610. The camera is cute, but I would prefer basic tools and not fancy, unnecessary crap.

Summary: An exceptionally good buy
Review: Hi The defects with this phone:
Cant see the screen clearly in daylight....
Gets smudgy very quickly...
Keypad is little bit small for people who have thick fingers like me.But I have gotten exceptionally thick thumbs ...
Phone is little bit slow with commands...but i guess that is ok with all the software and memory into it.Technology has not yet advanced so much....
i have to turn off the phone and turn it back on to get the signal sometimes...i dont know whether that is a normal procedure with other phones.
A little bit smaller screen
phone gets locked sometimes and wont respond to the power off button.so i have to take the battery out and put it back in to power it one again.happens once in a while...
phone asked for unlock code all of a suddent...tmobile cust serv helped me out...strange,,,, The advantages of this phone:
Exceptionally good reception .Great color screen
Very good camera for a cameraphone
Unique feature is that u can set voice automated profiles....Like I walk into a meeting,,,,i say 'MEETING' and the phone goes into a silent mode....i say 'outdoors' and it goes into a different mode
Very good service with TMobile for me in the bay area.I mountain bike and ski a lot and take the phone up lot of remote woods and hills....reception is still good up at all these places.Very good reception up DOnner summit too!!!!Check that out!!!
Phone came with a hands free for me ....FYI
Tmobile cust service is the best i have ever seen.very cordial and Lightning fast service.....Reception is very poor in milpitas(near great mall) at my buddy's place....beware..
on the whole,the phone is a VERY VERY GOOD buy....I recommend buying it from Amazon as they have some good pricing with cash backs and patient customer service.

Summary: Beware of phone activation
Review: T Mobile activates the phone the date in which it is ordered and therefore, you are billed for days in which you do not yet have the phone. T Mobile is aware of this and obviously takes advantage of this to overbill their customers. For each customer the amount may be small. I didn't receive my phone for a few weeks so it was larger but given the number of customers, the amount is likely to be very large.

Summary: allright
Review: this phone is very pretty, but it has many flaws- it crashes repeatedly, even during phone calls...it smudges quite easily and is very prone to scratching(so make sure to buy a case too)the reception is allright(sometimes there's an echo)-i use T-mobile, and if you look at the manual-you should get used to this phone in time. Bottom line: Not nearly as great as it seems-
