I'd had the Sony Ericsson K750i for 2 years, when the little joystick in the middle broke. This didn't seem too bad after 2 years of constant use, plus dropping it several times. I therefore decided to go for another Sony Ericsson, with similar features but no joy stick. I looked and found the W610i. When it arrived I was impressed by the look of it. Very thin and the back is bright orange which I like (others may not!) It was easy to set up, just slip in the sim card, memory card and battery and off you go! It came with a USB cable, CD to link it to the PC, and power cable. It only comes with one boring old game but others are available to ...  Read the complete review

Sony Ericsson has a reputation for churning out decent phones at an affordable price and the W610i is no exception. Although sitting in the middle of a fairly dense range of aesthetically and technically identical phones, the W610i stood out for me as great value for money. At only £120 on O2 'Pay as you go' this was almost half the price as some other manufacturers' models and to complete the cliché it had twice the features. I'm sure there are a lot of people like me who grew up on a staple diet of successive Nokia's! It had to take something as user friendly and welcoming as a 'run of the mill' Nokia to tempt me to take the road less travelled, so ...  Read the complete review

The Sony Ericsson W610i is a slim and compact "candy bar" style mobile phone and mp3 player with Walkman Player 2.0 software for playback of mp3 accessible via the one click access Walkman key, music capability is further complimented with an FM radio. Also built in is a 2.0 megapixel camera that has a digital zoom, video recording capabilities and a built-in flash. Digital media (music and photos) can be transfer from PC and stored on the included 512MB Memory Stick Micro (M2). I got my W610i from Virgin Mobile on contract in March of 2008 and despite severe hardship from accompanying me whilst climbing, hiking and camping it is still going ...  Read the complete review

Around the time this handset was released, it was really a time of chaos for me, as I really was confused; Sony decided to release several of their phones with very similar looks and names, and here are few I can think of; K550i, K630i, K610i, K530i etc. They really aren't very different, just different colour in some of them, or just a difference in the shape of one or two keys. And why on earth did Sony do such a thing of releasing them?! The answer is, I'm not sure, and the whole lot of them weren't a success either. But anyway, I'll review this handset, and move onto the others. This is one of my favs out of the above, and mainly because of the ...  Read the complete review

The Sony Ericsson W610i is an aesthetically pleasing mobile that has a lot to offer for a small price. It features bluetooth, radio, camera, digital music player, e-mail and internet and all the other necessities you would expect. The colour is rich and plenty with many interchangable backgrounds and themes. The Sony Ericsson is perfect for me because it does everything I would need a phone for. I admit that I rarely use the camera, so I wouldn't need one of these flashy 5.0 megapixel camera phones. I don't think phones ever take pictures good enough to capture a moment anyway. The speakers aren't extremely loud but they're of a decent quality. The memory is also widely .  Read the complete review
