Summary: Highly unreliable toy
Review: This phone has died once I started to use the bluetooth and voice dialing: the screen froze and remained black. Disconnecting and reconnecting and charging the battery did not help.

Also, this phone has much worse reception than any of the phones I owned. So, this phone is a toy which is loaded with useless "cool" features, like taking bad quality pictures, or looking at the fragile TFT screen while it works. Ericsson probably forgot that a phone is primarily needed for TALKING!

Summary: Warning on the number transfer thingy
Review: Hello! In Santa Clara California, I could not transfer my phone number using the T-Mobile Customer Service line...I have to go into a T-Mobile store to transfer my phone number from Sprint PCS to T-Mobile. I find this kind of thing really annoying. I bought the phone and service from Amazon to avoid the crowded stores with their lousy customer service, so this was an unpleasant surprise. In addition, the sound quality in my phone is poorer than on my clunky old Samsung phone. On the plus side, the camera thing is cool, and the phone is tiny and very cute. The camera button is incoveniently located on the side of the phone so I keep activating it every time I remove the phone from it's pocket in my purse.

Summary: Just OK in LA
Review: I bailed on At&t for Tmobile and this phone. I work in Burbank Ca and the reception isn't as good as my freebie Nokia was but in the rest of the area it seems ok. What's up with the hard to find covers?

Summary: Disappointed T610 owner
Review: I just bought the T610 and have been disapointed so far. The charging circuit in the phone doesn't work properly (never confirms that the battery is fully charged, even after 8+ hours of charging.) But more important, the phone's reception is very poor! I live in the Seattle area. Once in a brief while, I show all 5 bars on the display, but more often it's only 2 or 3, and a weak 2 or 3 at that. My wife bought the Samsung E105 at the same time. The side-by-side comparison is very interesting. Her phone shows 5 bars (and gets great reception) most of the time; we're both on T-Mobile. I bought the T610 primarily because I wanted Bluetooth, but it's not worth it. My recommendation - steer clear of the T610. If you buy it, I think you'll be disappointed too.

Summary: Horrible service from Amazon
Review: Amazon sent an email stating that T-mobile denied me service. When I contacted T-Mobile they said that they had approved it. It took me a week to get this straightened out. Also, the cellphone division in Amazon was no good and at times people were downright rude.Just wanted to vent my frustration.Thanks

Summary: Looks and Works Great
Review: I ordered the sony t610+T-mobile on the 24th of dec on amazon since a two hundred dollar rebate on the hundred dollar phone phone was quite irrestible. I had my reservations though and I went over the return policy of both amazon and t-mobile very carefully.

Even though I ordered it with super-saver free shipping, it reached me on the 29th (just 2 working days). I am in love with this phone ever since.

Pros:
1. Reception/Clarity: Fantastic. Extremely clear at both ends from preliminary tests. The signal strength is close to 4 bars always inside the house. Have to try it outside more though. The reception is good even when the signal stregth is about 1-2 bars. I had great reception at Mt. Bachelor too.

2. Looks: Super good looks. Elegantly simple and stylish. Small size. Feels pretty solid. Will have to buy a case. Surface gets greasy when held for a long time.

3. Controls/Usability: This is my first cellphone. I havn't consulted the manual yet but I have navigated and used virutally every feature very easily. Highly intuitive and simple to use interface.

4. Display/Ringtones/etc: Big bright beautiful display for such a small phone. The ring volume seems adequately loud and can be easily adjusted.

5. Battery Life: I don't use the phone too much as of now, but the phone uses about 20% of battery each day once it is fully charged. I talk for about 1-2 hours at most in a day so it is mostly idle. But I don't foresee any problems in this area.

6. Connectivity: not yet tested.

7. Jabra Handsfree set: Got the Jabra Handsfree bluetooth headset free. It's pretty cool and the reception is pretty good inside the house. have to use it in the car still.

Cons:
Setup: The only problems I had were with setting up the phone. 1. The simcard slot and clamp were a bit delicate looking. I thought I'd break it but it needs a little pressure to slide it into place. Din't do any damage.
2. It is not clear which way the battery goes in. Funny thing is it fits both ways. Make sure when you insert the battery, the label with the battery specs faces outward. I put it in the wrong way and I was wondering why it wasn't displaying anything even though the charging light was on. The instruction manual needs to be more clear about this.

All in all, I got no complaints. This is an unbelievably good deal and t-mobile have been pretty nice in terms of CS so far. I'm very happy with the purchase and very impressed with amazon. Hopefully, I should get the rebates without any trouble and this will be the best ever purchase.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This product is one of the best cell phones I have owned.
Review: From the Bluetooth capabilities to the faster interface, this phone is where it's at. If you are looking for a full featured phone with a compact size, check no further. The only qualm I had with the phone was the limited choices of carrying cases offered by Sony Ericsson, and the battery life when used heavily with a bluetooth headset. I was able to find a leather sleave carrier at my local T-Mobile store. If you use the bluetooth feature alot, be sure to get a car charger with the phone!

Summary: T-mobile follow's unethical practices- bad service
Review: T-mobile customer service is bad. they will charge your bill and refuse to investigate the documents. i had to report them to fcc

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great phone, even better offer on amazon!
Review: The price was right(-100.00!!), the phone is easy to use, and the number transfer from at&t was painless, although not very quick(it took a week). Reception and sound quality have been good.

The only issues I have with the phone so far are:
1. The placement of the "back" button. It is to the left of the joystick, where as every other phone I have owned it has been to the right.
2. The T-Mobile button on the right hand side needs to be able to be changed to do something else.
3. The transfer of contacts from Outlook was easy, although it wasn't quick via IR.
