Summary: small but effective
Review: I like this phone. I can throw it in my pocket. I can syncronize it with outlook on my computer via bluetooth. It is perfect for my needs.
I am worried that the screen can scratch easily.

Summary: great phone, wonderful features
Review: i'm quite pleased with the t616 i got with my ATT GSM wireless plan. the plan itself works well, we have the usual disdain for ATT wireless' customer service, but the phone itself works well. i'm finding the ATT network to be superb stateside, and i will get to try it out globally later this year. the phone's buttons work well for people with small fingers (i'm one of them), so keep that in mind. it fits snugly in my pocket, has stood up to many miles of travel and use, and the battery keeps a decent charge. picture quality is pretty weak, grainy pictures and someodd colors. but that's what you get when you use a phone as a camera ... the ringtones are annoying, luckily you can find them online for free (ie myt610.net). all i want is my old nokia basic ring! i've been using bluetooth to move pictures and sounds around, not mMode or anything fancy. it works flawlessly with Mac OS X and random PC bluetooth adapters. i haven't used the GPRS service, so i can't comment on it. i do like the integrated task minder, i'm making heavy use of it. for a small, clear, feature rich phone, this is a strong contender for anyone's needs.

Summary: i love this phone
Review: my 3rd phone and i find it to be the best of them all...it has a large screen, the key pad isnt as bad as its being protrayed on here...im a large guy, and i can work the keys fine, the camera is a little scratchy but hey, it takes pictures, what do u want? it has some awesome ring tones, you can hear very clearly on it, it looks awesome, but it scratches way too easily. It has some great games and this is ajust a really cool phone. Anyone can use it and everyone should own it...

Summary: pain in the ass!
Review: okay, I've had this phone for 6 months now though T-mobile. Thank god I bought the warranty because I've gone throught 2 replacement phones and spent probably about 5 hours at the Tmobile store trying to get the bluetooth hooked up to my G4 ibook. Bluetooth was about 1/2 the speed of a dial-up phone connection. A cool toy, but not really practical for surfing the web. Granted, I do live in a basement apartment, but the only way I get reception inside is to stand right next to the window. Also, I need to keep the phone locked at all times, because otherwise it starts calling random numbers in my phone book. I'm counting down the months until I can get a new phone.

Summary: Don't do it!
Review: What ever you do - do not order ATT online. I did and even ATT customer service has been unable to help me. The first phone I got did not work - after many calls and twice as many hours I got a replacement phone, I also got a bill for the replacement phone but I am still waiting on a credit for the one that I sent back - it has been four months now. Their problems resolution department acknowledged that they owed me a credit but said that they were getting the same run around from the online division and were powerless to do anything about it! So I am out an extra $142 with no recourse. They are scum - don't waste your money.

Summary: phone is ok, AT&T not so great
Review: Like the others here, I've found AT&T to be somewhat bothersome. True, they have gotten better after the Cingular thing in terms of customer service, but I'm wary still. Despite their add campaign saying that the service is better, I still don't get any signal in my office. As for the phone, it's pretty cool. The display is pretty hard to see during the daylight, that can't be denied. I'm ok with that though. What I don't like is how, especially with the special ring tones, the phone will receive a call, light up, and then wait 5 seconds before it makes any noise or vibration. It's not a big deal if you're looking at your phone, but if it's in your pocket, it's already been ringing for 1 or 2 rings on the other person's side before you even know you've got a call. Also, it has flat out crashed on me a handful of times in the last 6 months of ownership. When I say crash, think of when computers crash - it won't do anything until I take the battery out to turn it off, but it back and then turn it back on. I've also had intermittent problems with buttons not working unless I press them at just the right angle and things like that. Last week though, the thing went completely dead. I couldn't turn it on, it didn't light up when it was on its charger, nothing worked. After a few days, it started working again. Maybe I have a loose connection somewhere, I don't know. AT&T sent a replacement overnight to me for a twenty five dollar processing fee - although they overnighted it to the wrong address (due to a really bad customer service person on the phone) and I got it 6 days later. Anyway, the Bluetooth is cool, it talks to my computer and transfers contacts and calendar items and pictures and all sorts of stuff. If I had it to do all over again, I'd probably get this phone again, but I'd think really long and hard about AT&T.

Summary: Thanks for the tip
Review: ...found the link to http://muwap.com here on amazon. Also found that they give you 10% off everything when you type in "amazon" as the coupon code. They have tons of tones for the SE phones, and with the coupon it's only $9/year. Cheaper than mMode, and much better selection. Thanks, whomever posted this before!

Summary: Not A Bad Little Phone. We Get Along Just Fine
Review: I've had a good experience with this phone. I switched to AT&T earlier this year. Unlike other folks I've not had bad service. I had Sprint before and they were terrible in my area -- tons of dropped calls, didn't get my messages for hours. Sometimes a call will go straight to my voicemail and I'll get a message even though I'm sitting right there -- didn't ring! but at least I get the message right away, not like 4 hours later. Oh yeah, the phone. Things I like:
1) small and lightweight. can put in my pocket.
2) long battery life. I only charge it every other day
3) taking pictures. i like linking photos to folks in my address book
4) blue tooth. good for sharing ring tones with friends who also have bluetooth on their phones.
5) reception is decent. not wow, but decent. Things that bother me:
1) Can't see the screen outside in sunlight.
2) The on/off button is tiny and hard to use. I struggled for 5 minutes after my plane landed trying to get the thing to turn on. You have to use the tips of your fingernail -- the button is so small.
3) picture quality is not so great. pretty grainy, but if i really want to take a photo, I'll use my digital camera.
4) I wish it didn't always say "AT&T." Would like to customize the banner. Apparently it shows you what network you're using. Sometimes it changes to say Cingular.
5) Only records time of the call on the day of the call. After a day has passed, it only gives the day of the call. The joystick took a while to get used to, but I can navigate pretty well now. Overall, I'm happy with this phone.

Summary: Great!
Review: I bought t616 sonye-ericsson two months back and I love it. 1) Bluetooth: it's great, I bought one usb bluetooth adapter "Trendnet" $27 from amazon, installed it on my laptop and I can sink my Calender+Task+Contact information from and to my laptop.
that's great! now I do not have to enter all phone number into the new phone evertime I buy a new cell phone.
IR port is okay but I still find it very boring to send one contact information at a time. 2) Sound quality: is very good. easy to access volume key on the side. 3) picture: really easy to take picture with two click on the same key. Picture quality is okay but better than some of the camera phone I have seen ..like m515. 4) I got AT&T wireless service and right now after Cingular acquisition, it has been working great, I get signal even in the buildings. it gave me some weak signal problems in the begining. 5) Really lightwieght and sleek model. you can even keep it in your upper pocket. 6) Sound Recording: you can record the phone conversation while you are talking (You have to tell the person that you are going to record the conversation, it's US law) 7) mMode: I do not use it so no information. Have fun

Summary: Phone is fine AT&T is a problem
Review: The phone has a lot of nice features that work well and it is kind of fun. The camera's picture quality leaves a lot to be desired, but is OK for everyday stuff. the problem is AT&T. They are selling a network that is not ready. I have spent as long as three hours on hold waiting for customer service to pick up. At last I managed to break my contract and am happily in the process of switching to another carrier where I can still use my T616 phone.
