Sony Ericsson T610
The design of the Sony phones changed radically with the release of Sony Ericsson T610 in 2003. This model was among the first to include joystick navigation, a color screen, bluetooth technology and a built-in camera. In its generation, Sony Ericsson T610 made history and change phone concepts for good. Still manufactured, Sony Ericsson T610 can only be purchased in one of the following colors: Abyss Blue, Volcanic Red and Aluminum Haze. The most common variant of this design is the aluminum color, which brought some complaints from customers who would have liked to enjoy something a bit more vivid or daring.
Even at present, the most widely sold color of Sony Ericsson T610 is Aluminum haze. In all phone designs, the silvery keypad is a standard. The phone has an incorporated camera, it can use the WAP for Internet connections, it uses polyphonic ring tones and Java formats. Since the design and the technical features are somehow obsolete, this is not a phone that can combine a speaker or built-in hands-free capabilities. In many opinions, Sony Ericsson T610 remains a pretty sophisticated phone despite the more modern alternatives. Besides the design variations between the American and the European models, the internal features are identical.
One major criticism for Sony Ericsson T610 is related to the unexpected turn on of the phone because of the joystick. Unexpected dial outs and premature battery wear out will be the main consequences for such situations. The camera is also pretty slow and the quality of the pictures is reduced. If we are to judge the cell performance by the present day standards, Sony Ericsson T610 is definitely obsolete and mediocre, yet for the time when it was produced, expectations couldn’t have been higher.
Last but not least, Sony Ericsson T610 allows voice commands, and, it comes pretty cheap if we consider the main features and advantages it brings. Moreover, there are no useless features, since each and every available item within the phone system aims at making the usage an enjoyable experience. Consequently, in case you want to buy an older but good phone model, you can definitely go for Sony Ericsson T610 without being disappointed. However, before buying such a phone it is advisable to test it and see whether you are happy with what it has got to offer to the user.
