Summary: Smashing mobile!
Review: This phone is absolutely amazing, and if you don't agree you're a damned fool.
Pros
- Coolest looking phone out there. Rectangular and sleek, it's incredibly stylish. It's also so light that you cannot feel it, and when in your pocket, nobody can see it.
- The built-in camera takes pretty awesome pictures. If you don't believe me, look at the website for the phone and check out the pictures. Pretty cool.
- The keypad/joystick is easy to navigate, and the largely graphical interface is so easy a 3 year old could understand it.Cons
- It isn't going to be a con for everyone, but it smudges easily, and I wipe it often with the Sony Ericsson cloth that I was provided with when I bought the phone. If you want the sleekest looking phone with WAP, Bluetooth, Infrared capabilities and takes cool picutres all on a large color screen, the T610 is the phone for you

Summary: A great value for money, but poor reception
Review: This seems like one of the best phones around. The looks are simply superb, the screen is cool, navigation too is easy. I got this phone with Tmobile and was hoping that will get better reception than the Motorola V60g that I have now. Surprisingly, the old phone is able to receive some signal even in places where T610 loses the network.
The Bluetooth option is a cool one. With a good Head Set you don't need to press any button to make or receive calls(provided the phone receives the call). The camera could have been better. The resolution is pathetic.
The phone does not give any error message when it fails to complete a call due to loss of Signal. Other than this weak reception, and few minor glithes the phone is great.

Summary: excellent bluetooth phone, great screen, excellent value!
Review: this is a great, feature-rich phone, in a very small and sleek package: pros:
- great voice quality - folks i talk to using the t610 couldn't tell i was using a mobile phone.
- tri-band (GSM 850/1800/1900) world phone.
- very small and very light (you can put this in your jeans pocket and no one will know you're carrying a phone).
- gorgeous 65k hi-res screen.
- excellent battery life.
- both the charger connection and the headset connection on the phone appear sturdy and built to last. much better than the samsungs i've had before where the charger connection was flimsy and bent with normal use.
- this phone has an intuitive interface but to really get the most out of this phone, a quick read-through of the owner's manual will help.
- has bluetooth which is really, really cool when coupled with a wireless headset. can also be used to sync and exchange files with your bluetooth enabled computer.
- also has an infrared port. i used this to download my contacts from my (non-bluetooth) PDA.
- wireless web ready.
- built-in camera.
- voice-activated dialing.
- large color display, 65k colors.
- supports MMS.
- polyphonic ring tones. cons:
- internal memory support up to 510 numbers - i could use more.
- screen could be better in bright daylight.
- don't expect to take high quality still shots using this phone.
- smudges easily.
- only three games included (not a big deal for me).
- no built-in speakerphone.
- headset connection is proprietary. bottom line: if you're in the market for a new phone, check this one out. with amazon's rebate offer and free bluetooth headset, this is definitely a great buy. i hope this helps you with your buying decision. peace.

Summary: The phone that took forever
Review: Im gonna be kind and rank the phone @ 4 stars for the following:
-It has the full color screen
-All the features work as expected
-The camera isnt the best quality, but is what you'd expect
-Saves lots of numbers, and organizes them well Reasons it didnt get 5:
-Screen gets scratched easily
-Ring is soft (im kinda deaf anyways)
-Little hard/annoying to navigate even for a techie All around I'd get the phone again. Watch out though, Amazon almost charged me for the free headset, but I had the invoice saved so It turned out alright. Also if Amazon messes up the order it takes forever to get it organized out straight. But the phone is great.

Summary: Nice little phone
Review: I have this phone for about 2 weeks now. Actually, I had to order a second piece of the same phone as the bluetooth won't work in the first phone. I was a bit apprehensive about getting this phone and T-Mobile service. Firstly because I had read lot of bad reviews about T-Mobile and secondly because I was not sure how it will work with Amazon. But I was pleasantly surprised with the customer service that I received from Amazon. I did not find any customer service number on their website. I hesitantly contacted the customer service using the form provided on the website. I got response in about 3hrs. And I the replacement phone next day. Its working fine. Enough about Amazon, here are the Pros and Cons of the phones Pros -
- Small, light weight, blue tooth, infrared, WAP enabled with GSM (so it should work throughout the world)
- Free sync software comes with the phone. Easy to synchronize the outlook contacts with the phone.
- Camera is easy to use.
- The menu layout is easy to use and intutive.
- My experience with T-Mobile customer service was very good. Cons -
- Small buttons.
- Some of the common menus (text messaging etc) need couple of clicks to get there.
- Camera resolution is not good.
- The software that comes with the phone is not easy to use.
- T-Mobile reception is not necessarily good at all the places.

Summary: Sleek, light weight and simply awsome!
Review: To put it simply this phone is AWSOME. Its boxed design looks so good in hand and its very light weight and sleek looking. Menu options in the phone are very well thought out. I simply love this phone for its quality, specially when I get it for value of -100$ !! GSM: It is a TRIBAND world phone, which means it works in US as well as asia and europe. I was a bit apprehensive about TMobile's coverage as some people warned me but I'm very happy with the GSM coverage. Quality: Call quality is very good. Once it happened that my call dropped but that happens in all the phones otherwise my friends were not able to say whether I was talking on cellphone or land line. Camera + Picture phone: Phone has 65000 colors and they look very good on the aluminium design of the phone. Camera quality is NOT as good as any other digital camera but you better by digi cam if you want a better digital camera. Purpose of having cam in this phone is to take the moments on the fly and it does that perfectly. Photo qualities arent something that you cant even recognize it so I would say I'm happy with that too. Bluetooth: It has bluetooth which is another great feature that I liked. I got Jabra Handsfree with this purchase and bluetooth linking was just matter of few seconds! And it works perfectly though I have noticed volume dropped a bit when talking on the handsfree. Games: Doesnt have many installed games but you can always connect through WAP and download whatever you want as the phone supports Java! Battery: Battery runs well and talk time is pretty good. Shipping: Remember if you will use the "Super Saver" shipping option for product delievery on amazon, Fedex will deliever it to you without requirement of signature. Which means if you are not at home they will leave the package outside your apartment/house. Same phone come as model T616 for AT&T but if you wanna go by my words go for this T-Mobile T610 and you won't regret it. Its customer service is far far far better than AT&T. Did I say you get it for -100$ ??????

Summary: One minor detail...
Review: I LOVE the size, the look, the price, the funcionality, the 500 capacity phone book, the voice recorder, the bluetooth, the camera is a nice thing to have, the talk time is OK (not nearly as good as they claim).
One minor detail: IT DOES NOT WORK VERY WELL AS A PHONE. At least in Chicago, you WILL get dropped calls and poor reception at times, especially indoors and while driving. I might recommend this phone for light or personal use, but not if you use it for business.

Summary: very good phone, but there is better phone
Review: Since I got lots of help from reviews, I felt I obliged to contribute some. I want to make it real simple and to be very objective. I got family plan of which my wife's choice was Samsung V-205. Everyone has their own crieteria to choose a phone. Mine is battery life, call quality, siginal quality, and other miscellanious. I am comparing both phones side by side in a same room. 1. Battery life: Sony is comparably good to last 4-5 days, but Samsung hold half day longer under same condition. 2. Call quality: Samsung is definitely better than Sony. It makes bigger and clear sound. It is very difficult to hear the other party's voice with T-610 on busy street, or even in a car. The sound is so small that you will be annoyed at some point. I tried to raise the volume and couldn't find where to on menu. 3. Signal quality: In a same room and same spot side by side, Samsung always has one or two more signal bar. Normally at home with T-mobile in Sourthern Jersey, Samsung would have 3-4, while Sony has 1-2. 4. Menu: Both phones are very intuitively designed to browse around. Samsung is more like Nokia (meaning numbered) while Sony is more like Windows. To me Sony has winning edge. 5. IR and Bluetooth: Sony wins because Samsung has no bluetooth. IR on both phones works very good. It was cool to be able to sync with Outlook so easily. 6. Maintenance: Sony is scratch prone. Though I always carry it with my eyeglass cloth wrapped for last two weeks, it already scratched in several spot, which made me unhappy. Though Samsung, on the other hand, was in my wife pocket or purse, it still look like new. My judgement is for Samsung v-205 though I really liked the way T-610 looks and bluetooth and Windows like menu.

Summary: Good phone but...
Review: Good sleek design, big display, really like the joystick. This phone is really superb but its software sucks. Phone freezes frequently and in many cases you will need to take the battery out to switch it off (because the power switch does not work when it freezes). Another issue is that it won't connect to internet (t-zones in T-Mobile) again without restarting the phone. It appears that the software which controls this phone has some issues. Despite these issues I am very happy with the phone. Like to mention that T-Mobile provides "the best" customer service.

Summary: Overrated Phone - don't let its good looks hook you!
Review: After a month of use on this phone I have enough input to rate it. I am on the T-mobile network. I have owned Nokia 5160, 6162, and 8265.
First the positives :) 1. Very stylish
2. Camera function
3. Attaches pictures to call contacts
4. Decent graphics and colors
5. Blue tooth
6. Black Jack game - sonyericsson.com
7. Good polyphonic sound
8. Reliable - Hasn't crashed or got stuck
9. Small- not a bother to carry around Negatives :( 1. Piss poor reception at times, my other phone got better reception- May be t-mobile
2. The novelty of a camera on a phone has worn off and the pictures are fuzzier than a truck driver's back.
3. Battery easily drained - 48 hours without charging and you're dead..er it's dead
4. Slow loading t-zones
5. Not user friendly
6. Takes a long time to do anything esp. write sms
7. Calculator is limited
8. Buttons are so close together it strains your fingers and you will make many keypad mistakes - Also hard to write messages
9. Scrolls slowly; hard to go through call contacts and doesn't go to second letter in contact list
10. Hard to hold in your hand esp. with long calls- small
11. Scratches easily and the screen gets so dirty Hope this helps. That's all I can think about right now. I am used to Nokia but the idea of a camera phone made me curious and the 3650 was too large. Nokia 6600 camera phone with camera will be out soon. I'd give it 2.5 stars right in the middle but there was none, so I went down. Don't buy this novelty phone if you log a lot of minutes!
