Mobile burn review the SonyEricsson T610 and give it the thumbs down. The screen is poor, mobile reception is bad (at least in the US), audio quality is full of crackles and the camera has a low camera resolution (352x288). Other things are good, but these are sufficient to remove it from consideration. It is well built and has downloadable java games, plus a good bluetooth implementation, so it might work for some people.
However they like the Nokia 6600, so I might be moving back to a new Nokia in November, which might not be a bad thing, as long as Apple have sorted out iSync to work with it.
It is a hard market building mobile devices, they cost a lot to develop, build and then test for a often short market life. The t68 was quite incredible in this respect, as it was on sale for over 2 years. I'm sure that the landscape will have changed again in 4 months time, when I'm next replacing my phone.

blech from 2lmc thinks I'm being cruel to the t610 in my article above. I've read two articles on the phone, one loved it, one longer term one didn't. I've seen one and had a brief play with it and I was unsure.
Desire is fickle and I've gone off it, might be related to me being on my third t68i in a month, so I'm trusting SonyEricsson less.
I'm not getting a new phone til November, so by then the t610 will be over six months old and there will be brighter, more shiney toys in the shop...
