Sony Ericsson K610i

By Jeremy Roche on 14 September 2006

Sony Ericsson's K610i is an attractive mid-range 3G phone that is small and light, but you'll be let down if you're expecting great results from its 2-megapixel camera.

    I've had this phone for about 19 months, and I've actually taken care of it. I've had no problems and I don't feel like a cave-man when I take it out in front of my friends, even though it's an old phone. Top notch if you ask me.

    • Good: Light, easy to handle, attractive, reliable, very sturdy
    • Bad: not much memory

    Had it for 14 months, needing replacement. Scratches very easily, TURNS OFF ALL THE TIME!!! and freezes ALL THE TIME!!!

    • Good: - Excellent Speakers
    • Bad: - Poor Camera
      - Turns itself off when it's in your pocket
      - Freezes each time you go through messages
      - Low memory (19MB)
      - High cost for unreliable phone

    I have had this phone for 18 months and was OK but now has developed the spontaneous turn-off problem that has been mentioned here.

    • Good: OK phone for the money.
      Face warp is a laugh......
    • Bad: Can't return to Homescreen easily.
      Randomly switching off.

    I've had this phone for about 2 years now (bought a new one recently). It's not the best phone around, but a good phone overall.

    • Good: * easy to navigate
      * compact & light weight
      * none or little lags
    • Bad: * camera not very clear, no flash
      * does not use a microSD, instead uses an M2 which is twice more expensive than microSD & thus making it hard to transfer all files onto a new phone that doesn't use M2 as an external memory.

    I have had the phone for over 3 years, and not ONE of the problems mentioned.

    • Good: Use MyPhoneExplorer to sync to outlook. Browser sufficient to check Facebook. Symbian OS is great compared to Windows Mobile.
    • Bad: Camera isn't the best - but if you want great photos, use a camera!

    I've had this phone for almost 10 months now, and i don't have any problems. If your phone shuts down randomly and does all those weird freezing things, it may be because you've dropped it at a bad angle at some stage. I've dropped my phone 2 or 3 times myself, but I have to say that it's quite tough and apart from a few minor scratches to the plastic on the corners, it is rather unscathed.

    • Good: mp3 player
      speakers are really, really good
      bluetooth
      stylish and nice colours
      easy to use interface
      tough
      big screen
      small and light weight
    • Bad: memory too small
      camera is only average
      no radio, but i don't use radio anyway
