Reviewer: Marie Warrington - Nottingham, UK

Have had two of these now, both having the same problems. Of the back falling off. Although this is replaceable from the manufacture for a charge of five pounds. It is very inconvenient to organize & when the back falls off out comes the battery. Grrrr. My current phone has no back have bought 2 already & currently the battery is secured in with tape, , am awaiting an upgrade on my contract. The other problem I have had which seems fundamental to the phone as it has occurred in two handsets now is that people will ring & it will tell them I am unavailable. I am unaware of these calls as it doesn't ring at all. & it's only when people say they have tried to get hold of me on it am I aware there is a problem this is then rectified by turning the phone off removing the battery then replacing it. It is an intermittent but very regular fault & very annoying. Love the design but the phone totally unreliable don't recommend it to anyone. Sorry.

I rate this phone very highly. The screen is large & bright & clear, the buttons are also large, easy to see & use.

As a tradesman my mobile has a really tough time with dirt & dust, often getting bashed about in my pocket & answered with dirty hands. I have also dropped this phone several times & put it through a cycle in the washing machine by accident, & I can say from firsthand experience that it is well build & still works very well having lasted with the screen unscratched & in full working order longer than any other phone I have ever owned. It also has a good battery life lasting me around 3 days before a recharge.
This phone has some really good features including an intuitive menu & ergonomically placed well sized buttons & great connectivity to your computer, taking pictures from the in internet as screen savers, & easy transfer of MP3 & WMA for ringtones.

The only down sides in my opinion are.

- The screen resolution could be better.
- The loudspeaker although loud, could be better quality.


Overall, a great value for money buy if you are tough on your mobile. Or if, like me you have large fingers then this is a great phone for you.

Had this phone since April 2008 never had a problem until now, received a text the other night & on opening the message the screen starts to scramble & say file tranfer not connected to usb, I took battery out then it was OK for a while & then starts to scramble again, I did the master reset & still scrambling, can anybody help solve this for me as I absolutely love the phone & don't want to get a new one.

I have had the pink one for a year now. I like the look of the phone, it feels nice in my hand. Easy to use & navigate. Buttons are just the right size. The battery holds its charge well. Voice calls are clear & it's easy to adjust the volume if you need to.

Will scratch easily, so careful how you store it. If you have a text message or missed call, the phone will only show you a message for a few moments, then the case will return to blank & clear. So you need to open the phone or press a button on the side to check if you've missed anything, most annoying.

I've had major problems with mine switching itself off, from the research that I've done, it seems that I am NOT the only person who has had this problem. It's no fun having a phone that you can't rely on.

Love the design, but could do without the problems.

I bought this phone a few months ago, & everything is fine! I love its sleek design & the keypad looks nice. It reminds me of the Japanese style phones which is why I like it.

However, I am having this problem with the memory stick.

One day, I plugged my phone by USB to put more MP3 songs into it, & after I unplugged it, everything related to the memory stick (I.e. Camera, recorder, music) says No file. I tried taking photos & recordings, & it won't let me for some strange reason. Also, if I plug my phone into the computer, all the files that used to be inside come up on the computer, but not on the phone.

When I took out the memory stick & recorded sounds, it works!

So, somehow there is something wrong with my memory stick & not the phone.

My contract ends in a week, but I am going to stick with my Z610i, as I totally love it! I am going to wait until O2 stock it, as they're the best network I've ever been on! I have the black one, so stylish! But I am thinking the silver one next instead of the purple.

The only thing I will complain about, being a girl & stuff, I carry my phone in my bag when going out, & I have a nail file in my bag. Obviously the shiny clam thingy got a bit scratched! It's so easy to scratch!

But brilliant phone, can't say another bad word about it! So glad they have a new version, couldn't bare loosing this little gem!

I've had this phone for one year, I've always been a Nokia fan before but found that the quality of their phones has gone down the pan in past years, so I gave this a try & to my surprise it's the best phone I've ever had! Battery life is good, looks great (I have the black one) interface is brilliant, the only thing I am not enthusiastic about is the camera (good pictures but only 2MP & no flash). Now I am due for an upgrade & will stick to Sony Ericsson but really don't know which way to go, W890i maybe?

I just got this phone today. It seems to be OK but I guess it was unlock after it was some type of pay as you go phone. A lot of extras that I can't use. But as long as I can make & receive calls, texts, videos, & pictures. I have no trouble with the Internet but I have a big complaint about the keypad. I have the blue phone & it looks great in the light. But the key pad is uneven & very dim. I can see it OK in the pitch blackness but in semi light it's very hard to text. I don't know if there is just something wrong with my phone or have others noticed this. I think that is just Sony's cheap way. I have two other Sony's. The keypads aren't as dim but the light in them is all uneven. At night these pretty phones look like they are missing a bunch of lights. Is anyone else having this problem?

I have had this phone for nearly a year now & never had any problems with it. If you want to keep it free from scratches buy a plastic clear cover for it off eBay for a £1. Great phone, good features, 3G & the camera isn't bad either what more could you want.

Reviewer: Rumana - Dhaka, Bangladesh
Date: 27th Apr 2008

I got this phone 8 months ago & still I am satisfied. I had the problem of getting switch off for no reason with it but I managed to solve it. Sometimes it may show 'Invalid SIM' or 'Insert SIM' for no reason.

Those who are having these kinds of problems:
- Please do not change your SIM card frequently with this phone.
- Please check your memory card if there is any problem.

About design I want to say that it could be a little bit slim.

I've had this phone for a year now & it is awesome the design is fresh & I absolutely love the screen on the outside. The music player is so loud which is great & it's so easy to manoeuvre. However I don't like the fact that there is no radio. But my calls always come in clear.

I have had this phone for 18 months & I love it! I am only replacing it now as the battery is worn out & one or two of the keys are starting to stick.

The keypad is very easy to use & the whole navigation system is very user friendly. The speaker for ringtones & music is great & it is very comfortable on your ear when speaking to someone. I did upgrade to a W880i in January, but didn't like the very angular shape against my ear & the screen was too small! Went back to using this phone instead.

I have ordered a K630i so I'll see how I get on with it. Overall, the best phone I have had since my Nokia 3100, which I also loved.

Reviewer: Hazel - Norwich, UK
Date: 19th Mar 2008

Found these reviews when looking to see if others were having the same problems with the phone that I am. Mine also turns off & loses all signal for no reason. I spoke to a guy in 3 store & was told it's a common problem with the phone. He changed the Mobile Networks setting to 2G instead of 3G which has lessened the number of times it happened. Also had the phone go funny on me one day, all I had was a white screen. Took it back to 3, software problem & had it sent off for repair. No complaints from me about 3 mobile. I just don't like the phone anymore. I had an LG U880 before which was no trouble & I liked the settings. I don't like the Z610i. Serves me right for getting one that I think looks good. I think the only thing that I really like about the phone is the animated butterfly wallpaper.

Well, I don't know about this phone yet because I want to buy it but I don't know if it's good, so can anyone help me? & I can't decide whether to buy the pink or blue one. But I think it's great. My mum promised to buy it for me on 27th March 08, but I don't know if it will be that exciting because I get bored of mobile phones easily. It seems everyone has a different problem I am confused.

Reviewer: Arps - Surrey, UK

After wanting a clamshell phone for a long time I chose this one in pink & I love it! I used to have the k610i in red which I also loved. A phone is a phone & this phone does everything it says it does in the spec.

People are complaining of the camera not being good but it's a phone primarily! Not a camera! The camera is just a handy extra to have on a phone. It's only a 2MP camera so you can't expect much from it! To take very good quality pictures you should go for a 5MP camera at the very least!

All three colours are lovely, I couldn't decide which to go for but went for the pink in the end & I am really happy with it. Charged it for 16 hours when I first bought it & it lasted 2 & a half days. I am happy with that as I did use MSN Messenger lots & call & text so not bad at all.

Yes it gets lots of finger marks on it but then so do ALL phones! Just wipe it on your sleeve & it will be nice & shiny again!

I love the display on the outer screen just wish the screen saver to stay up for a bit longer. The bubbles look really cool & everyone has been commenting on how nice the phone is!

If you're looking for a nice little clamshell which has all the usual features a phone should have then this is the one for you!

The only problem is deciding on which colour to go for!

Do not buy this phone, it switches off for no reason, loses signal when other phones on same network keep theirs. It clears call list & blanks memory at random. My husband & I have had ours for 6 months now & we have gone back to using our old handsets the Z610i's are going in the bin.

I think that this phone is really cool. It has all the necessary requirements but the camera isn't that great. If you take a picture under a light bulb then they come out really fuzzy.

It is quite hard to keep it scratch & fingerprint free so keep it in a sock. This is the first phone I got & I think it is really great. I would recommend it!

Reviewer: Rachael - Adelaide, Australia
Date: 18th Jan 2008

Well I live in down under Aussie & the Sony Ericsson Z610i is only just being released! I've always had Sony Ericsson & I don't intend to change. I just love the design of the Sony Ericsson & the many features, & hey if you complain about the camera being lame, then you should buy a camera, rather than a phone that's not equipped for primarily taking photos! Oh & YES I am buying the pink, just as soon as it comes on the shelves.

Is the texting quality good because being a younger, I love to text, with a passion! Thanks!

Reviewer: Mike Brown - Bridlington, UK
Date: 13th Jan 2008

Having swopped to this phone from a V3 on Orange I find that the Sony on 3 is a poor replacement as the phone drops on to emergency calls only & can't seem to hold the signal if below three bars, the Sony can show no signal & the Motorola 4 out of 5 bars along the side of it, I have never had a problem in 10 years in my area so it is either the phone or the 3 network, the Sony also lacks a lot of the little things that makes a good phone, I.e. Audible missed call alerts & variable screensaver intervals & other points.

Have had this phone for a year & like it enough to replace it with another just as soon as Sony Ericsson changes the USB connector. I can't buy another SE phone with this poorly designed connector that very quickly stops working making most of the phones better features unusable. This has been a problem on all 3 of my last SE Phones. Come on you guys, you are smarter than this. Thanks.

I have had this phone for over a year now, I have been quite pleased with it, the only problem I have had is the speakers, it has been in twice for repair. The camera does not have a flash but takes good pictures in normal daylight.

The music player is OK & when the speakers are working properly the sound is of good quality. I would recommend this phone to people.

Just want to say I love this phone! I got it for Christmas last year after looking for it for ages. Was disappointing that Vodafone didn't have it so I had to buy it with the new network 3 which I had so many problems with!

They were very hard to get in contact with, the 3 Internet service was always out of action & the coverage goes from full to gone in the space of 2 seconds even when staying in the same place! My friends found it really annoying because I never had coverage so they couldn't get through to me. I decided to switch sims to Vodafone & get the phone unlocked but was told it would cost me 50 Euro!

Last month I dropped my lovely phone & the screen cracked: (. I tried to get it repaired but turns out that its next to impossible to get a new screen for it. I am going to get a new phone for Christmas & I am very confused about whether to get this phone again or a new one with a better camera? Any suggestions?

Does anyone know if the Samsung D900 would be a better option? Anyhow while I had the phone I loved it & got great compliments with it. It's very stylish & I loved the mirror surface. I got mine in pink & it's was so cute! Great phone :).

Reviewer: Mollie - Sheffield, UK
Date: 21st Nov 2007

I've had this phone for 6 months now. It is good, but it does have its disadvantages. Well the music is loud & it has a radio. It comes with 3 different types of headphones. Comes with 2GB memory card & can hold plenty of songs & photos. Although on the reviews before I bought it, they said it could hold 1000 songs with loads of pictures & videos too which is a lie. I have quite a lot of pictures on mine but 200 songs & it sometimes gets full so I have to clear some songs & pictures off it. It's got a big screen & a 2MP camera. It has a flash & video call which by the way cost a bomb! I used to use it but never anymore.

The few things that bother me is that sometimes my screen goes white & it sometimes freezes, this started happening after I'd dropped it a bit though. It looks nice it's just a bit plasticy. The phone has good battery though. The only problem is the unlock keypad sometimes opens by itself so I find myself been searching the Internet for hours & then going over my bill by 100 pounds! When you close the phone it doesn't end the activity or call either which is a pain. Also the last bad thing about the phone is I sometimes catch the Walkman button by mistake or it turns on in my pocket so I've had it taken off me a few times in class because music has been playing & it isn't hard to miss as the music player is so loud!

Overall though I enjoyed this phone & I am getting a new one for Christmas. By the way I recommend NO ONE GETS THIS PHONE OR ANY PHONE ON T-MOBILE CONTRACT! The deal isn't clear enough. I go over nearly every month but it doesn't make sense. It says things like £122.76 unused. Then it says I've gone over my bill by £30 its like what! Also T mobile has RUBBISH SIGNAL & I never have it when I want to call someone. Good Phone not.

I really loved my phone, but one of my friends dropped it in water & it wasn't fixable. Now I am looking for a new one, but in pink, the problem is that no one has it left, or it's too expensive. I don't want an used one, they are the only ones that are cheap.

Reviewer: Missleo - UK
Date: 31st Oct 2007

I love this phone. Granted I have only had it one day. I get bored of phones easily, & this is one I don't see that happening to. I got it in blue & I think it looks the nicest.

For everyone moaning about the camera being rubbish - it a 2MP camera, what do you expect? & without flash the pictures will also come out bad in poor lighting. Although, if you're looking to take pictures you might as well buy an actual camera.

It does everything I want it to. I didn't realise it was a music player, but that doesn't bother me since I use a Sony Walkman MP3 player anyway (same style as this phone, except pink! )

Reviewer: Su - UK
Date: 30th Oct 2007

I have had this phone for a few months now, & it is actually my very first mobile phone. I really love its design - the back of the phone is really shiny & reflective, & I love how the time is shown on it when you close it.

It is very useable as well. It comes with a large variety of ringtones, an MP3 player, Internet access (an add-on that you can buy) games, a camera, a video recorder & much more. The only real problems that I have had with this phone is that it seems to run out of memory really quickly, & there are no holes on the handset for any phone charms, which might be a downside to a young lady like me.

Overall a great phone. Well worth buying!

Reviewer: Scoobz - UK
Date: 24th Oct 2007

A friend of mine bought this phone in blue on the Orange contract when it first came out. My first thoughts were it looked absolutely stunning, there was nothing like this on the market at that time.

After much deliberation over what phone I should buy as I was currently a Nokia fanatic, I wanted to buy a PAYG phone but this phone wasn't out in shops then so I bought it from Hong Kong in black.

The pictures of the phone did not do it any justice whatsoever, made it look cheap, bulky n frankly plain old tacky! However when I received my phone on Christmas, I just fell in love with it.

PROS: the design is stunning, usability is second to none, I thought Nokia was easy to use but I mean this was just so basic even my parents can use it LOL.

CONS: the camera 2MP is not too great but it is a phone at the end of the day, I don't know why it doesn't have an FM-radio. & the music player should have the option of skipping to places in a tune etc. Also occasionally I get duplicated contacts on my contacts list appearing randomly? & recently it has stopped informing about who has called I.e. Miss calls do not show up on my call list, strange.

Overall its one of the best phones I've had in the last year or so, but there are now better models on the market that are better value for money.

I am a big fan of Sony Ericsson mobile phones. I am also a big fan of clamshell types. Z610i just happen to be a dream come true. It is the only 3G-capabled clamshell mobile phone in the series. The housing is ultra smooth! The mirror effect looks simply fabulous. I bought mine in Black - it reminds me of Onix stone. Beautiful! Like any Sony Ericsson mobile phones, the features are very user friendly! This is one compact phone where everything a person wants in a mobile phone is packed into one sophisticated machine. If you want a camera phone, try the K series. If you want music on-the-go, try the W series. But if you want a share of everything & more of Sony Ericsson mobile phone latest features, this is a must have! I personally don't care about the 'no-radio' feature, because the outstanding & loud sound of the phone is pleasing enough. Yup, it has an MP3 player. My fussy complain is only that sometimes I wish Sony Ericsson's clamshell phones come with their speaker at the front (e.g. BenQ T51) or side. Z610i has booming loudspeaker but unfortunately one of them!

This is really a nice beautiful phone I ever had. It's really easy to operate. I always use Nokia phone & now I switch to Sony Ericsson Z610i. This phone is really user friendly for first timers who want to switch from other brand to Sony Ericsson phone. Everything is great for a mobile phone. For those who was complaining about the camera or the music. Well buy a camera or a MP3 player then. It's just a phone OK. I really love it.

I have the black version!

So first of all, when inserting the battery cover READ the INSTRUCTIONS I broke the clips immediately because I inserted it wrongly so! But I bought a new one so it's OK.
I love the design although I admit it gets dirty in seconds but it's worth it. The picture quality is OK but not amazing. The worst thing is that you can't use the internal camera to take pictures. That is you can't take pictures with the screen facing the subject!
The sound - AMAZING even when its loudspeaker! The Battery goes flat even if you don't use it much plus charging takes about 2.5hrs : (.

AMAZING PHONE I LOVE IT.

I got this for 149 euro with 3 Ireland.

PROS: Looks good & a good clamshell, music player is good, battery is very good, a charge should last 4-6 days, texting is simple & easy, almost identical to Nokia, buttons are well laid out & very clear bright screen.

CONS: Camera is very disappointing, my brothers 1.3MP Nokia seems to take clearer photos than this '2.0' megapixel. The memory card is 64MB (approx) which isn't huge & because the memory is a memory card micro (m2), replacing it with a bigger card is expensive. Buttons are perhaps a bit flat for fat fingers.

The only issue I have with this phone is that the front part. It attracts fingerprints but no big problem really, you can always just wipe those off. Also, the front part scratches very easily & I am one of those people who hate keeping my phone in this case, so I have got to be real careful! I Love This Phone!

This Was Not My First Choice In Phones. But Somehow I Got Stuck With It. It's Not a Bad Phone. The Camera Is OK, Not Brilliant & you need Good Light Conditions for the Camera to Look Like a 2MP Camera. Lots of Memory. But I Have To Say, I Got Bored With This Phone, Very FAST. Not the Best, But Good. Not Worth the £200 Pound I Spent Buying It.

OK the design part is good, got it for my mom, she liked it, but when I observed it for about an hours, found out many flaws, like say the phone has very very low amount of zoom in capability, & in fact cannot zoom in picture mode in normal mode, & when in paranormal mode there is some small amount of zoom in, at that time it does not support the self timer option, only good zoom in is there in video mode, shocked when learned these things, when in MP3 mode there is no options of turning the song to a certain part, the same goes for the videos, & yes you cannot even see videos in full screen mode! That was really shocking, thought my mother is happy with that phone, I thought why on earth did she had to get that one, rather then that I would have preferred n73 form Nokia which I really miss. Hope any one else does not do the same mistake of getting this phone, hope they try & improve the software which is installed in it, cause that can defiantly change the way the phone works, will not allow my friends in Rajkot to buy it, !

This phone turned out to be everything I wanted it to be & that was a big ask! I looked for a small phone with not too many unneeded features like gps or smartphone capabilities.

Instead I was after a decent battery life of 4 days or more unlike my current P900 which being old only does 1 & half day at the moment. Also a 2MP camera was a must. But most importantly I wanted the phone to look nice & be lightweight.

My choice was down to the Nokia 6288, the Samsung D900 & Sony Ericsson Z610i. Nokia has the battery life problem which ruled it out, 2 days is NOT 'battery life' Nokia, no, its not.

Samsung D900 is full of problems & after reading 100's of posts all over the web it was out.

When I got the z610i I was completely surprised as it looks so much better than in the photos, they just don't do this phone justice. The keypad for example is actually really nice to look at & use, but in the photos it looks cheap.

After the 1st charge I used the phone for 5! Days before it was down to 10%, & it got used lots since it's a new phone. I also have to say that this is the easies phone I've ever used, & the Sony Ericsson P900 I had before was pretty easy. So far I've found nothing to complain about in this phone.

Awesome phone!

This phone is pure magic. I only have one complaint & that is that if you hit it very hard with a pneumatic drill the outer cover does get scratched & the phone does not seem to work so well. Come on you moaners: you must be joking. If you put the phone in your handbag alongside your nail file, tweezers & scissors, yes it will get scratched: what else would you expect? Oh & the loose change in your pocket might affect the appearance of the phone, if you don't use a cover, phone sock or whatever. I bought 2 phones at the same time, this one & the Samsung E900. The Z601i is SO much easier to use & it does everything I need. I gave the other phone to my partner. True love does have its limits.

I am more than happy with this phone. It's got the PERFECT design. Couldn't have asked for a better looking phone. Love to show it off to all the Nokia-fans. (Whose phones are rubbish by the way. The N SERIES is not good) it's great to use. Plus it's Pink. & the best part is it isn't a very girly pink. So it isn't very embarrassing to use! I m quite happy with the battery life + the flight mode rocks + the music system is pretty great. The camera is kind of unclear but then the clam shell (which is the MAIN reason why I got this phone) more than makes up for it. The OLED display rocks. It's got this great Application 'Facewarp' which lets you mess up your pictures and make your friends look better LOL & it has an inbuilt Tetris game. In short I am never bored! All in all. It's a winner!

Well I have had this phone a couple of weeks I know your supposed to have it a year before you do a review but I want do it now, its a great phone & I love the design I got mine in blue on Orange UK Pay & Go. The 3G signal is really great & the 3G video calling camera is superb. I love the 2MP camera at the front & I love recording videos on it. It's a great phone to be seen with a real fashion accessory. I love the way the big buttons are spaced as I have big fingers & with a lot of phones I find it hard to use the small close together buttons. I am annoyed at only one thing & that is that in the camera pictures folder you cannot rename your photos & I love to put a caption to a photo so now I have had to move all my photos to my pictures folder. I love facewarp it's a great application, I keep making my mates look strange LOL. The only other issue I can give it is that the front shiny surface scratches really badly no matter what you try to do. Overall if you are looking to buy a new phone & you want it to be fashionable then buy this one it is the best of the 43 phones I have had in 6 years.

I love this phone - it is the first flip phone I have used & it certainly hasn't put me off having another one in the future! I was a devoted Nokia fan before having this phone, but have now moved to the Sony Ericsson camp. My only complaint would be the finish of the case - it does scratch easily & attract fingerprints, although it does look good. I have solved the problem by buying a snug fitting case which does not interfere with the usability of the phone at all.

Reviewer: Ryan - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Had this phone for about 5 months now & I think it's great. I have had none of the problems mentioned above I.e. phone turning itself off or call list not working. The phone looks superb (if a bit on the big side) & it has a quality finish inside & out. The keypad is one of the best I've ever used, well spaced, silent buttons & handy quick keys for WAP, camera & other shortcuts. Internal screen is good & although it could've had better resolution it is clear & bright. Camera takes great pictures in daylight but the lack of autofocus & a flash is a bit annoying. Could've fitted a flash next to the camera lens without spoiling the look of the phone, just needed a bit more thought. The music player isn't the best but I use my Walkman anyway so not too worried. Speaker is loud enough for your MP3 ringtones & remains clear at all but top volume.

Oh, LED display on the outside is rubbish in daylight so beware if you like to monitor your calls!

Overall, Very Good.

I bought this phone in November last year when it first came out. Was a little anxious at spending almost £200 on a pay as you go phone but don't regret it now. I thought this phone wouldn't stay new for long but people still comment on how sleek & different it looks. Bought mine in blue & love it!

Favorite features are that you can set MP3 tunes as your alarm tone, when you get a text it shows up on the outside display telling you who the message is from, the fact it has flight mode & the picture & video quality.

Only downside for me is battery life. Have to charge it every other day for it to last a full day.

Overall a brilliant phone. Not thinking about upgrading for a long time.

I have had this phone for 2 weeks, I love it. For a start it's PINK. It is very easy to use. I have downloaded music on it, & found that easy to do. I have gone online to get new ringtones. The photo quality is good, as is the video player.

I have come from a Samsung to an Ericsson, & am glad, I love it. Especially the bubbles that go up the from screen when I get a call. (It's a girl thing!). The only thing on the down side of this phone is that sometimes it shuts down, this is the screensaver, & once or twice I could not get it back up, so I just shut the cover down then it resets itself. I think this is when I am doing stuff to fast & it just freezes.

But this does not happen often, on the whole this a great phone, & I would recommend it to everyone.

Oh did I mention it comes in PINK!

I replaced my Motorola V3X with this phone a couple of months ago, & it is a superb little phone, small, sleek, easy to use & full of useful features. The only gripes I have are:

- The main screen should be a high-resolution.

- You can't seem to set your own message tones.

- Why make the front cover so smooth & sleek, then go & write the logo & suchlike on the surface?

- Not all 2 megapixel cameras are the same.

- Why can't I have the choice of turning the screensaver off?

If you're a fan of clamshell phones like I am, & you don't use your phone for listening to music, then I think you'll like this one, particularly if you choose black.

Those who say this phone is rubbish are rubbish. I own this phone right now & it's one of the best ones on the market. This phone was released on August & I bought it from Hong Kong. Design wise, this phone has one of the most stunning designs on the market. I have to say one thing, before buying it, I thought the inside was really cheap looking. But actually, this is untrue. Pictures lie. The entire inside is reflective. Once you have this phone, you hate other phone's keypads because this is one of the best. You don't hear that ugly clicking sound nor do you feel cheap plastic. Functionality wise, this phone could have scored higher. Camera in this phone is average, no flash nor autofocus. Sony Ericsson uses Java instead of an actual OS, so any Sony Ericsson phone you get has the same 'os.' the screen is incredibly bright. Now on the downside of this phone, it is a fingerprint magnet. The front scratches easily too. But overall, a high class phone that is worth buying!

You can get ROSE PINK Pay as You Go Z610i phones (SIM free) from Amazon.co.uk

However only new ones are available (checked on 13th Feb.07) from £232.99. I've bought mine from g3i, for £234.99 - I know it sound too much, but I think its well worth the price.

You can also search in eBay (personally, I don't like eBay so much) but I am sure they'd have a lot on offer.

ABOUT the PHONE:
This phone is absolutely brilliant. Fantastic design, excellent features & usability.

Users can download various themes & ringtones for FREE. PLUS I've saved so much money through recording my own music, so that I can set it as my original realtone ringtones for absolutely free.

I've downloaded one cute theme for free, thinking it's going to be a rubbishy one, but NO, my icons are in HEART shapes & background is in SWEET PINK, matches my phone perfectly!

It really is well worth the price.

It now turns itself off half way thru a call or text & always when you close the cover. I have to restart it every time I want to use it & sometimes it won't come on then. I have to leave it a while & start again. I see one other review for this same problem, any more of us out there? I shall be contacting Sony Ericsson to see if there is a known fault but until then I will persevere. I would have recommended this phone with no qualms whatsoever until this, a great pity.

Got this phone after 3 yrs of my GD87 Panasonic. Design good, sleek & stylish but it is slightly on the heavy side. Have to get used using the ''back'' button as opposed to C which usually means back in my old phones or most phones but C is delete here in this phone. Bit upset. Actually quite upset, that I can't lock the keypad like my old phone where it kept busy bodies reading my text messages. My old phone I had to key in a 4 digit pin to unlock the keypad. Also the screen saver can't be timed as to when I want it activated.

Spot on, this phone is a minter, got mine 3 days ago as an upgrade, easy to use, the styling is Designer, looks ace, feels silky smooth to hold (the front screen that light up is a nice touch) the keys are again smooth, look great & look as to have the quality to last (time will tell), you can tell its a quality phone as soon as you pick it up! Menu navigation is easy & again smooth, the only possible drawback I can mention is that it could do with some extra lighting for the camera, (but I suppose if you want really top notch photos you should use a good camera) but for taking pics of your mates on nights out, it does the job, overall I am very pleased with it & would recommend it, cheers all.

Got this pink version of this phone about a month or so ago & after having tried every other phone manufacturer out there I have to say, for ease of use, this is by far my favourite. Extremely easy & straight forward to use. As mentioned in other reviews the shiny surface does show any marks easily but, hey, there's worse problems a phone can have! Also has some really nice themes on it & others are available for free from the Sony Ericsson website which is great! I personally have no problem with the camera but I've switched from a Motorola Rzr D&G which had terrible camera quality. Only downside is there is no zoom function on the camera unless it's in video mode but hey, I can live with that. The one thing I am slightly disappointed with is the lack of games. Only one free one included, the others have to be paid for but apart from that I highly recommend this phone. Go & get one NOW!

Got this phone in pink, off eBay sim free a few months ago, great looking phone But DOES get scratched very easy. Camera pictures seem to always be poor unless in ideal light ECT, got better pictures off my k700i to tell the truth, think the problem is down to the phone not having a flash. Some good features on the phone but not got a radio. Since camera lens sticks out the front you have to be extra careful not to scratch that, think they should have put it in the way so it would have some protection.

Anyway to sum it up if your wanting a phone to take good quality pictures don't get this phone, usability is easy, a good overall phone, looks different from every thing else on the market at the moment, you'd prob be better holding off till they make an up dated version with flash ect.

Reviewer: Jayda - Qld, Australia

Bought the pink phone off eBay about a month ago (included headphones). The biggest downfall is the memory shortage however you can buy memory sticks up to 1GB so that can be overcome. The camera is supposed to be 2MP but looks just like a VGM & doesn't have flash. Like everyone has said the exterior highlights every fingerprint but if you can keep your phone in a case like me it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Also it can be hard to open at times & sometimes takes two hands. Finally its only 176x220 pixels main display, which isn't great & it's a rather large phone. On the brighter side it has loud ringtone & message volume which is handy & the exterior can double as a mirror due to its extreme shine (if you keep it in good condition). The included USB cable makes it easy to get any songs off your computer.

How the can you 'review' a phone when it hasn't been released yet? Hey Tanya, maybe you can review space walking for me as well, you've probably got the same amount of experience of it.

One word to say on the Z610i - STUNNING.

Cool I am the first REVIEWER. Obviously I do not have this phone as it has not been released in the UK as of yet, but it will be available soon. I am so excited about this phone, it's a 3G beauty with a super sexy covering. I reckon the mirror hidden casing will wipe the floor with the LG chocolate with it's touch sensitive lights etc. I have had a look at the chocolate & it really is not all that, the sony ericsson Z610i is the way forward. I am expecting to see all the manufactures trying to compete with the Z610i but sony ericsson are slightly ahead of the game, yes I am a sony ericsson fan & have owned 7 phones designed by them & all have been a pleasure to use with the latest & very best technologies.
