Great value for money. Only two shortcomings, but these are quite acceptable if one takes the low cost into account.

- No expandable memory.
- Comparatively low Battery life.

I bought it just six months ago. This phone s a quiet beauty & handsome for posses. Features & facilities are better when compared with other in peer groups. The drawback s not having extendable memory. This model s not well known by our people. Do make it known by all.

I have had this phone for a year & I have decided to change. Not that there is anything wrong with it. I had a replacement after about 6 months because my first K608i's joystick became stuffed, but it was just a dud because my second (& present) K608i has an outstanding joystick.

This phone is great. Only lacks one major thing, expandable memory, which is almost compulsory in today's society.

Overall: Well done Sony Ericsson (again): 99%

Enjoying my K608i as the functions are so easy, easy, easy to use. Good design & the menu layout is easy. V good screen & the graphics are unbelievably clear & colourful. V good camera, video functions, music player, 3G & Internet are speedy. I would like a memory upgrade or an expandable memory option but I just download when I am running short of memory.

Not enough memory on the K608i for such a heavily featured phone. The nav button is too touch sensitive & goes all over the place apart from the place I want it to go. Battery life is poor which is my major gripe & worry when I get a new phone.

This phone came recommended to be by a close friend who is into his gadgets & mobile phones are his thing. I was concerned that I would be buying an over priced phone with too many feature for me to get my head around by I am very surprised. The Sony Ericsson K608i is amazing as it comes with all the latest technology but it is all so easy to work. I am getting very into all the messaging, emailing, video recording, video calling, surfing the Web, downloading music & video streaming. I would recommend that everybody has a FM Radio on their phone as it is a great function that I thought was a gimmick, but I use it all of the time. Even had a go at making my own ring tone with the Sony Ericsson Music DJ function & it is all good harmless fun. If you are techno phobic then this is an easy way to get yourself into all the latest technology.
