Summary: Not good, not bad
Review: An average phone with some good features.

What I like:

- Bluetooth
- Big screen
- The cammera
- Good menu system
- Tri-band
- GPRS, WAV

What I don't like:

- Java MIDP 1 (not MIDP2). You can't access the bluetooth or IRDA from Java
- Screen quality is bad

Bottom line: For the price I paid (about US$155) I think It's a good phone, but I would really like if sonyericsson makes a firmware upgrade for Java.

Sorry for the bad English

Summary: Good GSM phone
Review: It maybe just one of the nice GSM phones in the world of GSM. However, it's the best cell phone available in the US!

Summary: Don't by this phone.
Review: If the system let me rate this as a '0' I would. I have had 5 phones over 9 years. I worked for AT&T Wireless. This is by far the worst phone I have ever had. It turns it self off for no reason, dials 911 and leaves no trace of the call in the call log. It is impossible to read the screen outdoors. If you read a message (page) and leave the message reading screen up you will not get notified when you receive another message until you leave that screen. Auto key lock does not always work.

Do yourself a favor and don't buy this phone.

Summary: Poor Product
Review: This is my first sony experiance. I am really disappointed by the product T610. This product is a junk, detoriating day by day.
The reception is very poor in this phone though the call quality is good when connected. The major problem I face with this phone is it freezes often for no reason.
Pros:
1. Bluetooth
2. Good looking and good screen resolution
Cons:
1. Highly unreliable phone. Within the period of 3-4 weeks it freezed on me for more than 10 times.
2.Poor reception on my phone where other tmobile phones like V300 work pretty good.
3.Battery doesn't perform as mentioned. The standby time for my t610 is not more than 48 hrs.
4.Poor interface.
5.Easily smudges and screen gets scratched very easily.

Don't get decieved by it's looks.

Summary: THIS PHONE IS HORRIBLE! What a disappointment!!!!
Review: I should have known because of Ericsson's past that this phone would have issues. First of all let's start with the display... The display is so poor that it renders the phone useless in daylight. The screen is impossible to see even with the highest contrast theme enabled. Obviously, quality control was asleep behind the wheel with this one. Second, the reception is very poor. The phone drops calls all of the time. I know it is the phone because my previous phone did not do this. DO NOT LET THE LOOKS OF THIS PHONE FOOL YOU! If you can, get the Motorola V200.

Summary: Design flaw in battern connector makes phone unusable
Review: When it works, it works about as well as other reviews suggest (I've had similar experiences to the others with the "candy" features, small buttons, impressed with size, etc). However, after having had this phone for around six months, I am throwing it away because it will not charge. The charger plugs into the phone as such: there is no metal plug that gets inserted into the phone, rather, there are two plastic anchors that are supposed to lever surface contacts on the phone and charger into place. They are basically just resting against each other. However, after not very much use at all the plastic anchors lose their snug connection, and the charger fails to make sufficient contact. I have several times plugged the phone in overnight and taken it up the next morning to find it had not charged at all. Worse still, if the sound is on, when the charger connects it makes a little ding. I will plug this phone in, and then hear this connecting ding over and over, several times in a few minutes, as the contacts rest against each other just closely enough to repeatedly make then lose connections. Not only does this type of thing fail to charge the battery, but it can actually destroy it (and can't be too good for the phone either).

Bottom line: No matter how good or bad the other features of this phone, none of them work if there's no charge. And the flaw is in the design; I returned two phones for the same problem (which starts showing up after about a month of use). The one I'm throwing away is the third. This phone has convinced me never to buy, not only another Ericsson phone, but probably never any product from Sony again, given the incredibly inept engineering that went into this phone.

Summary: Dont Go for it unless you fell for looks
Review: I have this phone from past 6 months from T-Mobile, first of all usability is cumbersome, you have to click lot of buttons even for small things. next reception is very poor, my wife has Samsung E105 from T-Mobile, thatworks every where in the house and T610 does not, it will drop calls if i move from one room to other and in some rooms it will have no signal. it only shows half the signal strength of what e 105 shows in most of the places.

Dont fall for the looks, its a beauty with no brains.

Summary: It's almost perfect.
Review: I've been using my T610 from T-Mobile for 3 months. I needed a phone, that would have a camera, color display and support bluetooth technology and internet access. I found one.

T610 has a camera and bluetooth - I like both these features very much. For example, bluetooth is very convenient to have an access to the phones pictures, melodies and themes from anything supports bluetooth technology. I use my desktop, my notebook and my iPAQ as well. Besides I can use a wireless headset, and I use it even when I don't drive. And of course I use my T610 when I surf the Internet of check my e-mail from the PDA (iPAQ h4155). The camera is not so perfect, but you can take small pictures in a moment you want. So T610 is the camera, that is always with me.

And if we talk about phones with a color display, internet capabilities, a camera and bluetooth, there's the only one competitor for T610 in the USA - Nokia 3650. Well, I like Nokia phones. I've been having three Nokias before: 5110, 8210 and 8310. They worked perfectly. But I've never liked Nokia 3650. First of all, it's too big for me. I like small phones - and T610 has almost the same size as my previous Nokia 8310. Nokia 3650 is too big, too ugly and has an unusual and incovenient keyboard. That's because I've bought T610.

Now I can call, take pictures, send and recieve text and picture messages and e-mail, surf the Internet, play games (included or previously downloaded from the Internet), make notes (and voice notes as well) and more. Once I recorded my playing guitar by my phone and send it by e-mail to my friend. She was very excited, listening it on her computer. Thanks to my T610.

Summary: Pretty good phone!
Review: I was a little hesitant about buying this phone after the reviews I read. But after seeing it at a store, I purchased it on amazon and haven't regretted it! I've had it for about 2 months now, and I've never had a problem with the phone freezing. Reception is also great, here in nyc and also whenever I've traveled elsewhere.

The camera feature is fun, but I don't really use it all that much. I do have pictures of some friends and it shows up on the screen when they call, so that's a nice feature.

What I do love is the bluetooth capabilities which lets me use a jabra wireless headset. I LOVE THAT! I can go about cooking, or whatever else, while talking on the phone. Highly recommend this! The wonders of technology!

The small size of this phone is also a plus. It's very sleek and has a ton of features.

The only slight negative is the battery life. It's not horrible but it's not the best either. This is probably due to the features like camera, color screen, and bluetooth capability which drain the battery. I wouldn't switch all those features for a longer-lasting battery though. I charge my phone every day or every other day depending on how much I use it so it's not that bad.

All in all, I highly recommend this phone. I know some reviewers have had a problem but I have nothing to complain about!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Still my favorite phone
Review: ... and I've had quite a few. It's nice and small, ringtones can be downloaded (through http://muwap.com, use "amazon" as a coupon for 10% off), nice colors, good sound quality... just make sure you lock it, or you'll end up making calls you don't intend to make.
