it is the perfect phone if u want a phone that has almost everything u'd want...from music to internet...to camera...at a very handy price(it's really affordable at most places now...infact i got it just for around 7000 bucks...(indian!))... this is my advice to anyone going for this phone...the keypad is a problem initially...but as u get accustomed to the phone....the keypad wud be no problem...infact now...i like it...coz it's different!!!!!but..ya...i'm not too much into texting...u can test it before u go for it according to ur requirements... as for the music..and camera...they are ultimate....i've fallen hard for this phone ever since i got it into my hands....the sound quality is excellent...both on headphones and speaker..although some cynics complain of a low sound volume....but i've personally found it very acceptable..infact i practically go deaf once the headphones are inside my ears!!!!and the voice calling quality is also great... the screen is awesome....i'm yet to see a better display by any phone in this range....it's very clear even in sunlight....and the walkman interface is great....it's new...and its very user friendly...and just plain cool!!!!! all in all im in love with this phone and i would recommend it to anyone who wants to buy a decent phone for themselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Bought this phone with my birthday money , i do not like it AT ALL, the back of the phone is faulty and keeps falling off without warning, the camera gets scratched really easily, the camera itself is TERRIBLE and the phone occasionally freezes and one or two of the buttons randomly stop working which is bad because i have to take my battery out and my simcard and put it back together to get it to work again. I definitely would NOT reccomend this to anyone. ITS RUBBISH!

GREAT PHONE! Absolutely packed with features considering its price. I have been using this phone for almost a year now, and am very impressed with it. Sony Ericsson UI has the most intuitive phone UI, and the W610i also has a surprisingly easy-to-use keypad layout, despite the small keys. The earphones are also top-notch (they are the in-ear kind, unlike most other phones which come with hard units that tend to fall off) and the Walkman UI is very fluid. Furthermore, the phone is very sturdy as well (mine has survived numerous falls, including a two-floor drop onto hard concrete). Only downer is that there's a single port for charging and earphones, which isn't the best around and tends to malfunction often.

Sony Ericsson W610i is a good phone but with som negative points also. You can�t get to the slot when anything is plugged into that headset /mains/PC cable socket as the connector obscures its cover, which is just poor design.I have just bought it and felt that either the company should comeout with some solutions like multiplug or something else so that this weakness should get out of this wonderful phone.

Worset Phone ever made, worked well for the first month, but couldnt handle the day to day tear and wear. now will not turn on properly, has a tendency to not recieve text sms, phone calls cut short, freezing up, back of phone dosnt stay on meaning battery falls out lossing the time every time its in my pocket, music player was good, untill the speaker fell out, glued back in, but never the same sound, bluetooth inactive, will assign random pieces of deleted pictures to contacts photos, loved the phone for the first phew months but such a shame it is falling to pieces

Works competently as a phone and mp3 player, but the camera is less than perfect. My k750i's camera was leagues ahead. The pictures are worse than what I get out of my old 1.3Mp mini digi cam. The buttons are also too small. Nice features, but could be so much better with keys designed for human beings and a camera that performed more competently than a VGA one (slight exageration lol). Oh, and the vibration is weedy... only had a few months and already looking to upgrade. But not bad overall.

Its not the best of phones. As i have only had it a few months and It it really fiddly and the keypad repeats itself when im typing for another letter.

The phones quite a look and slim but it comes with its downsides. The good would be its not a huge phone and it doesnt way alot but thats about it. The bad is the signal on this hardly reaches over 2 bars,its really slow at responding the camera could have been a bit better even if its walkman (2.2x zoom).battery life comes to about 2 days with normal use oh and the keypads just.. just so annoying you press the return button and walkman comes.if you like being annoyed and like charging alot this is the phone 4 u.

its a great phone. it has better things than w810 and previous walkman phones. like 1000 sms memory what i dislike about this phone is keypad specially the round dpad. and right and left buttons. no 3.5 AV jack for headphones. no usb jack (for everything like charges, datacable and headphones to plug in you only have one pop port, in the long run pop port will not work) it doesnt have 2 million colors it doesnt have legendry dedicated fast forward and nd buttons on the keypad layout. no fast forward play pause and rewind buttons on handsfree. you cant make folders to save good sms. if these things were there in w610 this would be the best mobile of the century.

I have problem with my phone but I now suspect that it is a setting. What it is is that I cannot hear anything from the person on calling/being called unless I switch on the speaker (then everyone around hears the conversation). I had the phone back to SE for repair and got it back a few days later it went again. I had the phone replaced and a few days later the new phone does the same. I use the phone with my car's bluetooth handsfree and I am wondering if it something to do with this. Any ideas? Other than this problem I like the phone. Thanks

After buying my phone off PrePayMania, I was excited as it looked awesome. But when I tried the camera (2MP) it had a line going down the middle. Otherwise the camera is excellent. You may not think a line would be annoying, but on every picture ive taken there is this thin black line down the middle. Also, after getting it back after 3 weeks, the problem still wasnt fixed and after a further 1 week, numbers: 2,3,6,9 couldnt be pressed, meaning I couldnt type in someones number. However before these problems occured this phone is great, the walkman is great, and im sure my phone is just a 1 off. I would recommend!!

A good phone, although the keys are a little fiddly, and when texting the no. 4 key can be particularly annoying, but once you get used to it you prefer the smaller keys! The phone is very easy to use and has great settings and options. The camera is good but has a delay taking pictures which can lead to them coming out blurry. This phone is stylish and great value for money, its walkman function is particularly good and has good quality. It is a little to thick for my liking yet is very easy to hold in your hand.

After having a Nokia and a Motorola phone which both worked great I was abit sketchy at first about buying a Sony Ericsson. I took a few days to get used to the keys but after those first few days I have not looked back. Getting the phone for �59.99 with a �5 top up voucher from Virgin seems to myself a steal! The camera is first class, I recently went to Morocco with me I had a 8 megapixel digital camera and my Sony Ericsson W610i with it's 2 megapixel camera, Pictures of my son riding a camel took with either camera looked identical. Also the walkman player has quality sound, I'm trying hard to think of any negatives about this phone but I just can't even a year maybe even two years this in my opinion is the best phone for under �60 possibly even under �100. I can't see myself wanting another phone for awhile, A top notch phone from a top notch company. It's a shame I cant score the phone higher than a 5, It deserves a 100!

I have had this phone for a year now and is good for music lovers but I only have songs on my phone for my ringtone but even then half the time my phone is on silent. Transfering images from computer to the phone or from the phone to the computer is excellent! However one massive problem I had with this phone was twice it had to be sent for repair due to two different technical problems! Nightmare as the first time it went i hadn't stored all my stuff onto the memory stick so lost everything! If like me you like texting the keys can get a bit sore on the old thumbs after a couple of texts or long texts.

Amazing phone, and the found the buttons easy to get used to, old school buttons bow feel like bricks. It looks amazing in the flesh, the chrome buttons a nice touch, with the black against orange looking slick. Nice and slim, AMAZING MP3 player, with album art. Camera is very impressive in the right conditions. The only slight drawback is i have some dust under the screen-anyone know how to get rid of it? Despite this tiny problem, it is an amazing phone, well worth the �80 I spent on it. The headsets brilliant, the battery lasts me about 3 days, and i leave it on all the time, text about 20 times a day, and use the walkman for 1-2 hours daily.Zandro's right, leaves my sisters K750 in the bin.

Ant, when i 1st saw ure review, i said... wow!!! all of that writing? what is it a book? but it was honestly helpful. especially with 'THE' button. i thought sumting was wrong. what i hav a prob with is the battery life, it lasts for like 1 &1/2 days max. guess thats expected with the features included. and i have to be OCNSTANTLY wipin the keypad because finger prints show on it. other than that. i love it 4/5 stars for me!

I had this phone for a couple of days and am exchanging it for another model. Reason being the keys. They are very difficult to deal with. The number 4 key is more or less non-responsive and sometimes when pressing it, because of where the camera key is situated, you end up activatiing the camera in the middle of a text msg!!! I have small hands and even I found the keys impossible, particularly the navigation keys which do not feel nice to use as they dig into your finger. The camera is ok but not great, the W810i has a much better camera. The best feature on this phone is the walkman player, as a music phone this handset does deliver. If you just want to make calls from your phone and listen to some phat beats, get this handset. But if you're text crazy (like myself) this is not the phone for you, purely because of the keys.

Very very good phone. Got used to the keypad quite quickly, decent camera, very good music capabilities. Only problem is it cuts out half the time, with a white screen and then goes back to normal

I absolutely hate this phone! After having the W800i for two years, I thought it was about time for a change. I loved the W800i, so I decided to stick with Sony Ericsson. What a mistake! I had to send the first phone I had back, as the 4 and 6 keys stuck, the second model I now have also has the same problem, as well as intermittent crackling whilest talking on the phone. The battery life is appauling, the W800i would only need chanrging 1-2 times per week, the W600i I have to charge almost daily! The keys (when they work) are fiddly. The camera is absolutely terrible, especially compared to the W800i and the video? Forget it! Oh and to top it all off, the phone is slower than a Granny with a zimmer... stay away from this phone, Thw W800i was WAY better!

I bought the phone looking at the reviews on this site had a k750i which i still have an the k750i picture an video quality is a million times better i put the w610i an k750i next to each other taking the pic in bad light conditions an i can say the k750i lets in more light so u can see better on the phone screen. Iam very disappointed with the w610i why cannot sony make a phone that has walkman quality an good camera an video well i dnt rate the walkman quality anyway just a rip off sony just make a phone with good sound quality walkman if need to be an good camera. Keep anyway from this phone im still using my k750i dnt buy this phone.

i brought this phone in "white" but it's really an ugly silver colour. NUMBER FOUR WONT PRESS WHEN I TEXT, IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THIS HAPPENED TOO! i couldnt find TrackID on it, the cameras bad when it's not in daylight. only a average phone, no way worth �100, not much better than the w810i , which you can buy for 60 now.

Had this phone since May and have to say I have no complaints at all about it. The cam is what you expect from a 2MP camera, it does the job. The music player is good and the earphones are of a high standard. Menu's are very user-friendly and buttons are fast and responsive. The only complaint I have ( and this is nit picking) is the back case can sometimes creak, but who cares...

Good value for your money, better than k750i and w810i for sound quality when playing music. Bad points: had to use loud speaker to hear people when they call so faulty from day one.(Not all like this so just a one off) Buttons are too fiddly when texting, if you have got fat pegs then this will be a big prob for you ! And for those who keep saying it has no radio... IT DOES !

this is my 2nd SE phone - had the W800 before and have owned it for about a month now. I'm not particularly into looks (I had the W800 after all lol)but everytime I look at this I can't believe how good looking it is and in a time when noone really bothers what phone others own I'm always getting compliments on it. My biggest gripe with the W800 was its troublesome joystick, so I was very glad SE have finally got rid of their achilles heel. Sound is far better on this than my w800 with no overly bright treble and very clear. It has a stereo widening function but I prefer the standard and haven't felt the need to mess with the equaliser. It is also stereo bluetooth capable and has a bluetooth accessory dongle to enable playing through any sound system with an Aux socket. I've no idea how useful this would be but everyone seems suitably impressed by it! The 2mp camera is very good, boasting autofocus and flash, it isn't covered (the cover on my W800 broke quite quickly - moving parts on a mobile are not recommended) and the lens glass is flush with the back of the phone, it remains to be seen whether this makes it more prone to scratching, but the recessed lens on my W800 was a dust/gribble magnet. The phone does have a couple of downsides: firstly I find the buttons a little small (had to cut my thumbnails to operate it) and secondly, it only comes with a 512mb memory card and my old card isn't compatible because sony have made it a smaller format. That said, i love this phone it's just complicated enough to be liked by gadget freaks but easy enough to operate the most-used functions
