BRILLIANT PHONE - Nice Look, Good picture, GREAT sound, Nice to hold VERY VERY SHATTER PROOF (I dropped it down three flights of stairs folks and it was left practically scrachless.)

Nice wee phone. Won't let you down Slim. Good battery life - never once ran out of charge. Screen hopelessly inadequate for browsing. Buttons a wee bit on the small side for my fingers - usually used nails to press.

I admire of Sony Ericsson phone when I bought k750i last year on my birthday. It was of around 11000 inclusive of all taxes and I find suddenly worth it. It had great sound quality and picture quality and navigation menus are very simple to use unlike irritating nokia phones(they think people consider their phones very great if they make features which can be understand properly in months). Well k750i gave me lot of things but not many big problem was slow interface specially music lists when I fill 256kb Memory slot. It becomes very slow to show all music lists. it does not have EDGE which was important to me to explore web sites during out side (later i know that EDGE facility is very limited e.g. not in U.P and other states in India but yes in Delhi on my Airtel connection) you can understand pain of GPRS speed in India.k750i also does not have A2DP too so I considered to buy a walkman player that has at least A2DP and faster response . I wrote lot of reviews and finally I chosen W610i(why i did do it?)

This phone had A2DP plus very fast good music player 2.0 contains lot of good features but..

Battery gets warm.what is this ? it looks i am using a 2000rs phone oh my god !! and people say it is a louder phone . i do not think so inspite of being a walkman player it can not even campare k750i 's loudness, my friend. but ok! but yes, speakers that are bundles with the phone are truly worth . my godness such a great sound quality they look tiny but they are big boss indeed.

now camera performance. its not a 2.0 mega pixal i do not think so . look at k750i 's 2.0 and then you realize how true i am . worst performance i ever seen of 2.0 it gives a image quality like a 1.0 Mega pixal or VGA camera just like you see in Nokia6600 (alright a bit better than 6600 but ..).

and now finally few words about interface . look at font size terribly big ( are we blind or this phone is made for kids ?) you can not change font size even you change themes. no new games on SE website for w610i. on very first day button gets hurt my fingers it was an experience as you are moving your finger on a slightly blunt knife's edge . believe me .

what now i changed mobile again this month and purchase k790i except lower sound quality this phone is just awesome and only 2000 cos tier now than w610i.

so my friends my suggestion is if you can bear bad camera phone quality , bad style , bad battery and cost you should buy w610i or if you can only bear lower sound quality and 2000 rs more then go to k790i.

I wanted the W810i but am glad I waited as the W610i is a much better all-round phone.

I prefer this over a 3G phone as the Edge is fast enough for the handset and removes some of the bulkiness.
