I got this phone because my other phone broke. yes i know by now this phone is amazingly out of date for good reasons too! There are a handful of probelms with this phone. 1) Camera is very poor, cannot make out anything. 2) Bluetooth sucks cannot send or recieve anything. 3) Looks like a brick. Im now getting the samsung steel for crimbo and im just hoping that it will be better!

I've had this phone for around about 10 months and the battery life is still strong- lasting about 4-5 days. The joystick can play up a little bit from time to time but on the whole that is no major problem. The only downside is that compared to other phones now on the market it is lacking in features, yes it has bluetooth and infrared but it does not have video recording capabilities or mp3 storage. If you are looking for a classy phone with an acceptable camera and a few extras then get this phone, if you are looking for a much better specification then I suggest you look at another phone such as Sony Ericsson k750i.

First I had the T630, then the K500i, then K700i (Oh yes, I am a dedicated SE fanboy) and now the LG U8120. Though i had more powerful/featurerich phones than the T630, the T630 ALWAYS reminds me its charm and the far customization, that could be done with this beauty. I never had a phone, which laid so comfortable in my hand. The great Bluetooth/Infrared connectivity to a small amount of money. Definitely one of the best buy for money phones around. I have only two poor things to say about this phone: First of all it is SLOW, very slow. Writing SMS is a pain, when it get a bit along in length. The Java loading/aborting is terrible long. The keyboard on my phone dislocated on some keys after some months of use, but could be fixed easily, though it was annoying. But all in all, this is the phone that gave me the most pleasure of all the phones I've had so far... Recommended!

Just bought this 'phone on payg after my sturdy Nokia 3510i gave up the ghost (after much abuse I have to admit). Should have stayed with Nokia. The T - stands for tiny, right? - 630 maybe fine for girls and women, but the keypad is hopelessly small. If you're a bloke with normal sized hands you'll never work the keypad. The menu's tiresome and long-winded and the camera very poor. Battery life already looks to be a problem and the text font is tiny - it can be changed after writing the text, but there's no default to a larger size. I suppose I should have looked at the 630 before buying it, but didn't and now I've learnt an expensive lesson. If this represnets the Sony Ericsson standard then I won't be buying another.

This is a great kids phone but not a business one. If anyone can tell me of a modern phone with the 6310 battery life - I'll buy it.

Pretty good phone....... it would get 5 stars, but for the fact that the battery life is not good. I'm comparing it to the old Nokia 6310i. Using the T630, a couple of calls during the day will knock the battery life about. If the battery indicator doesn't show full, I wouldn't be confident that I could take it out all day and not lose the battery. Also, the camera isn't particularly good.... but then again, it's a phone not a camera. If you want a good camera, go out and buy one, not a phone. Anyway, good phone, just keep an eye on the battery.

Had this fone 4 over a month now, a few glitches that r enuf 2 make me want to upgrade: 1. The photo quality is poor. 2. Can't get higher resolution fotos thru blue-tooth from other handsets. 3. no speaker phone. 4. no data display (except time) when phone is idle...(signal strength particularly). Just some features you may miss when u actually use this fone, plus wud b nice to have the fone able to find a number when u enter a few digits. The keys are also a bit slippy (if u use ur nails rather than finger pads - gals only i guess!)as they r hard and convex. Hoping to find something similar with better picture quality (and a screen display you can see in sunlight - can't believe this is an improvement!), MP3 and VDO. BUT, love the joystick, the ease of use and overall looks. Cooler in white version, tho this isn't officially available in India - what's the logic in that SE?

Just got this phone on virgin two days ago, its great! The shape and feel is very stylish. The best feature is the large screen, why have a camera with a small screen to see the pics on? The games are good, keeps you buzy when you've got nothing better to do:-). The camera has 3 different pixel settings, so if ure friends have got a phone with a smaller screen you can always use the lowest pixel setting and send them pics, without them having to go on the internet to retrieve them, a well thought out feature. It would be nice if this phone could go one step further and incorporate an fm radio like the less advanced nokia 3200, but at the end of the day it's just a phone, all the other stuff is just an excelent bonus! Well done sony!

I purchased this phone as I had an old Nokia 8210 and wanted something similar in size and shape but with added features of tri-band and bluetooth. The interface I find clumsy. There seems to be a lot of clicking you have to go to in order to get to say the phone book, you will need to go though at least three menus before getting there unlike the Nokia interface. The address book has a problem that I have noticed several users stating which is that it has a habit of locking up the phone during saving a number. This looses both the changes made and more importantly, requires the battery to be removed from the phone before continuing. There is a similar intermittent problem where it appears the phone is not functioning, but suddenly after a few minutes, it comes back, unfortunately responding to all of keys you were trying to click. The quality of the camera is average but I have noticed it is very poor once out of bright light. For example whereas my Flatmates Samsung takes excellent photographs in my living room, the same photo of the same item is very dark and almost illegible and needs the night mode in order to take anything vaguely visible. Using this in darker conditions makes the camera unusable. Having the camera lens at the back, uncovered, does of course mean that, as this is where you are holding this, it is easy to get dirty. The agenda has an annoyance that is it not possible to set an all day event like for example an anniversary (very useful to be reminded whereever you are!). Any event must have a specific date and time. There also is no way of having a recurring event. There are appointment types but this only affects what Icon is added to the appointment. There is no method to link this to a PC, other than by infra-red, unless you have windows 95 or Windows 98 - both long unsupported by Microsoft. So therefore no easy way of backing up, say, the address book. Battery life is good. The signal strength better than my old Nokia. I have to say that there is little to be liked about this phone - unfortunately for me as I am stuck with it for the next year on a contract.

I changed this phone to a Nokia 6230 as the Sony felt a little all over the place in terms of accessing menu features. It also felt it looked a little bit tacky with the writing on the sides. The screen is clear but the phone feels slow when accessing menus. The digital camera was real bad but then this may be the case for all mobiles - I'm no expert! I have been using the Nokia which feels right in terms of menus etc although both phones feel a little heavy to me - should have stuck with my old basic Nokia, no features but it was small and light! Also the keys on the Sony are difficult to see in bright direct light - you have to tilt the phone.

The phone itself is very smart. After a while the navigation around the features is pretty easy. Dody battery fitting though on the back. The main reason I bought this phone was for the bluetooth compatibility options, which brings me to the communication software.....disastorous if you are trying to get a windows pc to talk to your t630. you *have* to set up a virtual serial link (over the bluetooth) before the sony software recognises the phone over bluetooth. compare with mac iSync which does it all automatically. get this phone if you have a mac, if not be prepared for a nigthmare before getting successful synchronisation. phone: 4/5 windows/sonysoftware: -10/5 rubbish.

I brought the black version of this handphone and the design is average and the buttons are good to press. The controls of this handphone maybe a little confusing at first. But I got used to it after a while :) The screen is very clear and it can be viewed much more better under bright sunlight unlike its predecessor T610. The camera is also much more better. Maybe it is due to the change in resolution of the phone? One thing which I am disappointed in is the Sound Recording. Although it has a very long recording time, SE forgot to include one very important feature. That is to set the recorded sound as ringtone!! Overall, T630 will make a good handphone :)

I have had the SE T630 for about a week now and i am glad i bought it. I previously had a T610 and i thought that no phone would ever be better. But SE then launched the T630. I bought it because of the influence from the T610. The T630 has a much better screen, a better key pad and it looks great. The sound is great as well. The tones sound perfect and you can hear voices fine when you are calling. The games are awesome. V-Rally 2 really kicks ass. The only bad thing is the strenght of the signal and it isn't because of the network that i'm on.

Had the phone now for over 48 hours now and found the phone to excel in most areas except one feature I think they forgot when designing..........the speaker. My last phone being a Nokia 6610 had this great feature which comes into its own in many circumstances. Another pity is the lack of extras in the box. It would be nice to see atleast a hands free earpiece etc. There are alot of phones out there and its worth looking into getting the right one for you. And this phone is certainly the right one for me. WELL DONE SONY ERICSSON !!

Pros: The shape is nice. (compare with Sony Ericsson T610), there are very few changes. The screen is brighter. The keyboard is bigger and more comfortable. \"My friends\" is add on but not very useful. Cpmpare with other phones, it has alot of features, shortcuts, games, ring tones,... It is also smart phones, like-PDA. Cons: The reception is very veeeeryyyy bad (not due to providers).I did tried Ericsson T630, Nokia 8890, Motorola V66 with the same providers in my room. Motorola V66\'s reception is the best. Sony Ericsson T630 is the worst (no reception). The price is veeeryyy expensive though it is not much different from T610. If you really want to pay more than $300 for that phone, I absolutely recommend you to buy T610. Dont waste money unless you need it to show up.
