Summary: Sony will not replace it
Review: I bought this phone less than a month ago and even though I have been taking good care of it about 10 days ago a number of white dots appeared on the screen (pixel dots) and it is quite annoying. I am not sure why or how that happened, and when I called Sony, they said that it is considered physical damage so they will not replace it or repair it. And they will not repair it even if I paid for it, so it is not just a warranty thing. So, here I am stuck with a phone that looks horrible. So in short, Sony customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

Summary: Great Phone with Top Line Features
Review: Great and easy to use cell phone---with oodles of powerful options. Sony-Ericsson support for bluetooth PC synching was superb. This is a typical newer internal antenna Ericsson and a little weak with RF - use it in a strong coverage area - Go with a SAMSUNG if you often wander into the outlieing areas.

Summary: satisfactory but lovable
Review: this is a great phone. good camera, good features, user friendly enough, reliable batt life, great sounds, good enough antenna. problems? when you upload pictures, the quality diminishes..nokia 3650 produces better pictures, memory is awfully low..only a handful of large pictures and that's it. reasons for buying it: camera, bluetooth, infrared, sleek looks, great sounds, voice features, and that the nokia 3650 was big and had a terrible keypad-circle. but this t610 is good. almost great... almost 5 star.

Summary: Love it! All you need and then some!
Review: What can I say that hasn't already been said before about this phone. Simply put, it's one of the best phones currently out there. Yeah, some people on Amazon have touted how much they love the Nokia 3650 (which I might add is simply too large a cell phone, INHO, compared to others currently available like the T610). I thought long and hard about getting the T610 and compared it to the Nokia 3650 and I am so happy I went with the T610. If you're on the fence, do yourself a favor: go to your local phone dealer and compare the two side by side. Hold them in your hand, and if you can, switch them on and compare screens, etc. For me, the 3650 just felt - well...like I was holding a very big phone in my hand - too big for my tastes and too big to put in my pocket. I also don't like Nokia's user interface. Nothing out there beats the Ericsson GUI (graphical user interface). It's so intuitive and straight forward that one can master this phone right out of the box in minutes. Design wise, it's simply a work of art. Smooth lines, fits nicely in the hands, buttons are well spaced (although small - but not a problem), all features and functionalities are nicely executed. Bluetooth with the Jabra headset is simply awesome. Very cool and works well. Voice commands work for the most part (I've yet to see it work with ANY phone 100% of the time which is a result of the technology itself and not the phone), infrared (IR) is cool too - you can send contacts or your business card to anybody with a Palm, Handspring, other phone with IR, etc. A very nice feature. Picture associated caller ID is a wonderful feature as are custom ringtones. The ringtone composer (DJ feature) is extremely cool and allows you to completely compose and customize your own individual rings from scratch and they're not wimpy tones, they're like real music thanks to the Megatones feature - this is cooler than it sounds because virtually every phone out there today has annoying standard ring tones and this allows you to freshen yours up if your old one starts to grate the nerves. As for the camera, YES, it's not a 5 megapixel digicam but, like others have said, -- IT'S a PHONE - and just happens to have a camera built into it - it's not a camera with a phone attached. If you really want to take high quality pictures, get a camera. The build in camera is suitable for what it's used for plus it does have some extra cool features (nite, sapia, etc.). Finally, it feels like a solid phone as it's constructed of aluminum and hard plastic. Nothing cheap about this phone except it's price (FREE!!!).

Summary: The T610 review
Review: All the info you really need. So here is a better review with more structure.
The basics:
1>BATTERY LIFE: This phone has done as well as or better than the Nokias that I have had in the past. It does as well as my 6110, which was a great reliable phone. For all those with battery issues, get it checked or follow good charging/discharging routines. Let it discharge fully every two weeks and charge it in one go. Don't do stop starts.
2>CALL QUALITY: I use this phone with T-mobile, in Boulder. It works just fine. In so many places, bettter than my soon to end AT&T service.Yes, I have two phones.Data access is just fine. As fine as your data service can make it.The signal strength meter is maybe just a little hyperactive in terms of reporting period; thats my theory but I think it fits, since the effect of all that wild signal strength fluctuations is zilch on call quality. I drove cross country with friends. Wherever there was a T-mobile or its affiliated network, I had network, just as good as my friends 6610. I was not disappointed at all but rather pleased what with all these reviews flying around.
The fun part:
3>LOOKS & ERGONOMICS: What can I say, it looks and feels better in your hand than on a webpage. Ergonomically, I prefer large phones, but that does not mean Im going to buy them. I have set up this phone so that with my handsfree and the incredible number of voice commands, I barely need to touch ANYTHING. NOT EVEN PRESS A BUTTON ON THE HANDSFREE TO ANSWER A CALL. All you say is....u guessed it...ANSWER and it does automatically. Its so much fun. The menus are easy; the joystick is sturdy.You can also use the keypad for navigation, the desktop icons correspond to the keypad keys.
4>CAMERA: I think the camera is pretty good. Yes the pictures might look MAYBE a little dull sometimes, but hey man, its a silly ass free phone. Need top dog pictures, go get a digicam.What no one has talked about are the cool camera features: GET THIS> It actually has a NIGHT MODE. IT also has B&W and SEPIA TONE mode for really cool looking picures. You can reply to this review and I can send you a few samples.I have surprised many friends by sending them some pretty cool pictures instantly via email. Ive had a blast with the camera. also u can take pictures of people and have them flash when they call, with caller id. I think that feature is awesome, unnecessary, but awesome.
5>CONNECTIVITY: The very fact that the phone has both IR and bluetooth should be lauded. There are not that many around with both these capabilities. The reason that cable transfers (the cable does not come with the phone, neither does the dongle)are limited is that this phone is as connected as you need it to be. I have a laptop with infrared, also I just subscribed to the data service from T-mobile, t-zones. So I can send/recieve anytihng I want. If I ever get any bluetooth devices, hurrah for me, as the phone supports that as well.
CONS: not that many. Like I said , atleast I feel I need to keep wiping the phone. Also saving or editing contacts requires a few more key presses than I would like, but its not that big a deal. The voice memos and text memos make up for that. THe only thing I read in a review that was actually true was that the ring volume ramps up evern if u turn off the increasing ringtone. That can make u miss calls sometimes. The alarm sounds( you have a choice) arent as effecctive as the Nokia alarm, so Ive been late for a couple of classes,lol. Overall I think I've acccurately represented the working of the phone. Its not biased as I actually vowed never to switch from Nokias but was pretty bowled over by this phone. My experience with call quality can obviously vary from the others because of service area and 1 million other factors. Some people actually hold the top of the back of the phone while talking, that reduces signal strength. Hope you like it half as much as I did.

Summary: not what i'd hoped for
Review: in general, I like this phone, although the buttons are a little too small and awkward to press.
however, the camera is absolutely terrible. you have to have really bright lighting to get anything to come out. and i'm not talking just bright, mid day light. i'm talking indoor, flourescent office lighting. outdoor shots look terrible. the worst part is the color. its washed out and everything has a murky brown quality. i took a photo of a white piece of paper and it came out brownish yellow. if you want a TMobile camera phone, wait for the samsung 205. its bound to be better.

Summary: One of the best cell phones I have ever owned
Review: The Sony Ericssion T610 is one of the best phones I have ever owned. Everything about the phone is good. The only thing that bothers me is that I have not been able to get a holder for the phone and I dont like it when it stays in my jean pocket, coz I always assume that its gonna break. I also got the Jabra Headset for 20 bucks.... amazing deal and a must buy accessory for this phone, specially konwing that it gets dirty too quickly. The photo quality is not bad for a cellphone. Overall I am very pleased with the phone.

Summary: Nice design, poor signal strength
Review: I was very excited when I first received this phone. I loved the solid feel and construction, metal casing, small but evenly spaced keys, good keypad backlighting, large color display, and a host of fabulous features, such as voice dialing, integrated camera, and picture ID for messages as well as incoming calls. Small and compact, it fits very nicely in the pocket of close-fitting jeans without making an uncomfortable or unsightly bulge. I was heartbroken when I realized that it had such a weak antenna that it dropped calls in some areas of downtown DC, which is unacceptable. I had to trade the phone in for a much less sexy Nokia, which, while not my dream phone, at least works as a phone. If Sony Ericsson were to get the signal strength issues sorted out on this device, I would definitely go for it. As it is, it won't do. PROS:
- Small, compact design
- Solid construction, metal case
- Internal antenna
- Beautiful MMS and SMS interface
- Easy access to T-Zones
- Built-in camera
- Photo ID for incoming MMS, SMS, and voice calls
- Fabulous color display CONS:
- Extremely poor radio reception
- Extremely poor radio reception (oops, I repeat myself)
- Display somewhat hard to see in bright daylight
- Headset jack exclusive to Sony-Ericsson, which makes it difficult to replace the hands-free unit if you happen to lose it. It would be the perfect phone if it had a mini (2.5 mm) headset jack, and signal strength as good as my new Nokia.

Summary: You can't miss this deal
Review: Hi, I was looking for this great phone adn when Amazon offered it for FREE i grabbed it there are various reasons why i purchased this phone let me highlight few features: 1. Small and compact with great look from Sony
2. Built in camera
3. Bluetooth connectivity, this is awesome
4. Quick access to settings and emails
5. Various ringer tones
6. Games, DJ Music, wallpapers
7. Color screen, joy stick for navigating Now let me share my experience after getting the best phone with T-mobile service which works the best in Chantilly, VA no other servic provider can give this. Got my connectivity wanted to checkout its features, clicked few pictures of my son and emailed it to my wife through t-zones (you got to have t-zones activated from T-mobile to send and recieve emails, messages it costs 2.99$ per month). If you want to upload the photo to your computer you can do using bluetooth or Infrared port, most of the computers have infrared port i used bluetooth of my Pocket PC and beamed to it within seconds the picture was there.. Now i also ordered Jabra bluetooth headset another 20$ and it is worth it, handsfree you can recieve phone calls and make phone calls it has reception upto 10 feet (i had my friend walk little distance to check it out). The device was recongnized and this helps me a lot while driving, i do recommend this after all it is 20$ with this phone... Now onto Cons of this phone, somehow i didn't like the volume of this phone the maximum output is so low compared to other phones and if you work in downtown or places where there is lot of noise then better set it to vibrator mode or u will miss all ur calls... It is not a flip flop phone that means you have to lock and un-lock the keypad and that is something irritates me and was primary reason for me to switch new phone but after seeing all the features i gave away all my Cons and felt happier to have this hi-tech phone and my friends have started to think to get one.... I will tell you "You just can't miss this deal" Free phone with bluetooth headset for 20$ it can't better, thanks to Amazon for a great deal and thanks to SonyEricsson for its phone and T-mobile for making yet another customer happy :)
