Sony Ericsson T610 / User Reviews

After 3 years of outstanding service, I'm sorry to have to let my phone go. It needs a new battery, so it's more cost efficient to buy a new phone instead of a new battery since the joystick is starting to not respond when pressed to the down position.

Overall this phone is beautiful, durable,... More

This is my first Sony Ericsson phone and I hate it. I had previously owned an Ericsson phone and lets just say the only reason why I replaced it was because I had no other choice or I would've kept using it. What did Sony do???

Pros: Nice sleek style phone, very compact and sturdy. I've dropped... More

I have had this phone for two years. I have not had the toggle problems that others have had but I have had terrible reception. I cannot get signals in places like Homedepot or Walmart and no reception in my basement suite. I am not sure if its the Fido towers or the phone but I have had many people... More

The phone is slow, and the keybooard is too responsive. Sometimes I press one number and it is dialed twice. When I answer calls usually they are put on hold. I wont buy any other sony ericsson product ever. At least mobile phones. Also, sometimes the home charger does not charge my mobile. It... More

This phone is fine but the joystick will break and you will not be able to use the phone.

Likes:

Hi-quality sound.
Bluetooth is very good.
Sending SMS has never been that quick!
Clear voices when calling.

dislikes:
The joystick sometimes experience troubles. say, when i move the joystick downwards, it won't respond. but if i move it upwards, it responds.

This was my second Sony-Ericsson phone (the first was a T68i), and the fatal flaw in both phones was poor joystick design. In both cases, after about a year and a half of light to normal use, the joystick started to work erratically. Movement either did not register, or registered as 'Enter'... More

I've had the T610 for 2 yrs now (T-Mobile).
Pros: The phone is compact well built and has served me well for 2+ yrs. Battery life is decent. By and large, I like the user interface as well. Bluetooth has been reliable.
Cons: Signal reception is weak although to be fair one can't entirely fault... More

This Phone Is Great But only one problem is that this phone goes slow sometimes when you just turned it on but other than that this phone is fit for anyone and I got a logictech HS02 you'll like both..

Pro: GSM, Multiple Calling Cards, Small Size, Bluetooth
Con: 2MB RAM, Low Res Camera
Have owned mine for 3+ yrs and still loving it!! Used this phone in US, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. If Camera features are important to you then this phone is not for you. Good sync support for calendaring and... More

Pro: Full featured, great color display, long battery life
Con: Limited memory, poor camera
A stylish model with cool features including Bluetooth, IR port, downloadable JAVA applications, phonebook manager, photo album, etc. The large, high resolution LCD might impress every cell users. An extended... More

I have had this phone for over a year with no problems at all. I love it and it still looks like new (no scratches!) and I don't baby it. It doesn't even have a case, I just throw it in my overloaded purse. I live in Southern California and T-Mobile's reception is excellent and their... More

I like this phone a lot. It has everything and samll. Easy to carry around and has strong antena.

I got the (2) for free with 2-year contract deal with ATTwireless (Cingular), with the intention of having my girlfriend replace her old phone, and I would use the other, and it would be cool to connect with the bluetooth and exchange pictures and phone numbers, and it would be a beautiful thing... ... More

I have owned this phone for over a year now. It is a tri-band phone so I have used it mostly in US and in Europe for a couple of months.

In general, I like it because it is a small phone with a large, hi-res screen. It has a bluetooth chip, so I can sync it with my computer and use a wireless headset.... More

I have had this for about two years now. Here are my likes and dislikes.

Likes:
- Excellent sound quality.
- Reception on par with other phones, even though it does not have a protruding antenna.
- One can compose one's own ring tone. I's not that difficult to learn it.
- Battery life is... More

My wife and I both have this phone, and while it is an acceptible gizmo with plenty of features, after over a year, I still hate the UI compared to Nokia. Maybe subjective, but I have to hit waaay too many buttons to get things done.

The joystick has gone wonky on both of our phones, I'm guessing... More

I''ve had this phone for almost a year now. I''m with Fido, and the reception that this phone gets is horrible!! For a phone that costs $299.99 regular price, the Siemens m55 I have that wasn''t nearly as expensive sure beats the t610 any day for reception. Secondly, the... More

Within the first week of use, I discovered several major problems with the phone.
1. Reception - I highly agree with other reviewers who find this phone to have poor reception. On average, I get 40% reception, with a great deal of noise and frequent cut-outs.
2. Power Probelm - This phone has a habit... More
