Summary: Feature-Packed: Most Fun You Can Have With A Cell Phone!!!
Review: I used to have the Sony Ericsson T68i and decided I wanted a cell phone with a built-in camera instead. The T616 is about the same size as the T68i but it has a larger display, which helps you take advantage of the brilliant wallpapers, screensavers, and themes that come with the phone. It also has much better ring tones.

It comes with 5 games - DeepAbyss, FiveStones, Minigolf, Colourbug, and Q*bert - and of course, you have the option to download more.

If you want some fun downloads, you can get many for free on Sony Ericsson's website:

The camera takes really good pictures most of the time (I suppose lighting is an issue). Bluetooth is a great feature because I use it to send the images from my phone to my iBook G4 with no problems.

The only downside to this phone is its low memory. I had to delete some wallpapers to have enough memory to take pictures. That's why I'm giving it 4 (and a half) stars.

I've also not experienced poor signal strength unless I go into a basement and I also haven't had any problems with my calls. The battery life on this phone is also much longer than other phones - I charge it only once a week (or twice if I talk a lot).

Overall, it's a good buy if you want something more than just a cell phone.

Summary: Superb, powerful & versatile cell phone!!!!!!
Review: Excellent phone! Very sleek, stylish and easy to use once you fiddle around for a couple of hours. Has a plethora of options and is extremely customizable. Digital camera is a great feature, and works very easily with special effects such as sephia, black & white, negative, and night mode. Large display is vivid and clear. Last but not least, the battery life is POWERFUL for such a little phone. Only negatives I can conjure up is the fact that the keys sometimes get stuck, and also the phone does smudge easily, although very scratch-resistant. I would HIGHLY recommend this phone to anyone with AT&T carrier.

Summary: Nice Cute Phone & very good reception
Review: I own this Sony Ericsson T616 Phone from last 2 months.Its very cute phone with nice features,not to forget its inbuilt camera.I have zero- dropped calls until now and the voice reception in and around Arizona State University in Phoenix, Arizona is excellent(Its true to say, AT&T is the wireless carrier that America Trusts on).The another feature that dragged me towards this phone is its blue-tooth anabled feature which is very helpful and sleek.The customer service of AT&T wireless is slow as to say at peek times,mostly in evening and morning business hours.Try to contact the customer service at early mornings or late nights,which I usually do.Altogether its a nice phone and a better bet against the other models in market till now.

Summary: Great Phone
Review: AT&T (and everyone elses) signal out here is marginal as I am out in the country but I get a signal just fine and have had no complaints about call quality and have not had any dropped calls. The phone has bluetooth, & a good calendar and sync program (its got a camera but I just do not care about having a camera with my phone). C-net gave it (t616/t610) very high reviews, about best in class. The one thing about the phone that has been commented on on is the smudge factor, fingerprints do show up and a decent case is recomended. I bought a cheap one from CompUSA that was ok but kind of awkward, purchased a Krussell case tonight which should be a about perfect. I think there have been some firmware improvements made to improve RF/reception relative to earlier phones. I originally wanted a Nokia because they seem to have better RF/reception than Sony-Ericsson but none of their (Nokia) currently available phones matched this one on a functional basis for me at this price. Its a winner, I'm glad I selected this phone.

Summary: Avoid ATT Wireless
Review: AT&T wireless GSM coverage is a joke. They will blame anything on it too: hurricane, sunspots, "It's new technology," "somebody didn't renew antenna tower contracts" (that is on Interstate 95, if you can believe it). Don't do it!!! You will eventually be very unhappy!!! If you have a brief weakness and try it out, and you get their service, and have slight problems in the first 30 days, then send the phone back IMMEDIATELY. You are, otherwise, consigning yourself to whatever they want to do to you.
DO NOT sign a contract with them. That is the only thing that has saved me is that I couldn't bring myself to sign the contract. That means that I have two phones that cost me [a lot]--because the rebate requires the contract--but at least I don't have to give them money for service that reminds me of spotty cell phone service ten years ago.
'Love the phone? Find another carrier!!!

Good luck...

Summary: Worst EVER BUILT!!!
Review: The phone sometimes shuts off itself. Plus, network setting is hobbile too. However the worst of all, it is definately not the user friendly phone at all. I definately want to go back to my old Samsung so~~~ bad. Finally, AT&T Customer service was my worst nightmare. I usually had to wait for 45 minutes and they charge roaming even when you are right in the middle of downtown!! If you are extremely lonly and got lots of time to get used to the phone, plus want to talk to the free live chat, AT&T is the one you want to stick with!

Summary: A great phone!
Review: I went from a Samsung N200 with Sprint service to this T616 with AT&T and am soooo much happier!
My Samsung was dropping calls, showing no signal strength, and cutting out so bad I could only hear every couple words of the conversation.
So I got this phone and what a difference! The sound is crisp and CLEAR. It sounds like a land-line phone, unlike my Samsung which made conversations sound as if the phone was buried in a snowdrift or something.
The phone aesthetically is much cuter than the picture makes it look. It is small and thin and the color display is excellent! It has more options than I need and the camera is quite decent considering it is built into a cell phone. I love that I can take a picture of someone and add it to their profile so when the call me their picture comes up on the screen.
It came with alot of ring tones, none of which I particularly enjoyed (save for the "antique telephone" ringing sound), so I downloaded one. The sound quality itself is very good.

If I had this to do all over again I would still buy this great little phone!

Summary: Excellent phone, but ATT not excellent
Review: To start, the phone is a very nice phone. It comes with many features, feels solid and high quality in your hands, and it is small and stylish with a large color screen. The drawlback of the phone are that the display is hard to see in bright light. Also, it can be hard to use until you get used to all the menus and such. Overall, this phone is an excellent phone and I would give it 4 out of 5 stars.
But ATT tested my anger managment skills. They charged more than the starting price and added on all the extra cost features that I didn't ask for! They also charged 88 dollars for roaming when I went to New York! The service also isnt very good. sometimes it switches to the cingular tower or the verizon tower. It's your money, and I would go with T-mobile personally. Better yet, Verizon.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: PHONE IS GREAT.. ATT SERVICE PATHETIC
Review: you might think that you get the phone and you got a great deal, but the fact is that you don't, what will you do with a phone and a service that basically SUCKS...!!! REALLY, att wireless is the worst service you can ever get, you might think that I am just another reviewer but as someone who has reviewed att and trying to give it a benefit of doubt, NEVER EVER EVER TAKE ATT WIRELESS, ITS THE WORST SERVICE EVER, CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE ARE NOT THERE TO HELP, BUT TO FRUSTRATE YOU TILL YOU HANG UP..THEY ARE THE WORST IN BUSINESS..Don't take a cellphone if ATT is your only choice
