A Customer Review
"Could have been a little better...."
I have used lot of phone before this and switched to this from Sony Ericsson t68i (and t68m).
I definitely like the following features:
* Full color screen looks great and a huge improvement from t68i. All the images are more real and lively. Sending images as an attachement also works like a charm. All the menus are also very colorful and work like a demo of the color quality.
* Great sound quality
* Nice 'ergonomic' keyboard. not sure what ergonomic means in cell phone context but the keys are far apart enought that you can type it clearly and not mess up.
* Polyphonic ringtones
* Helpful second display on the top with easy to silent from the side keys
* Small size and very light
Somethings which could have been better:
* Weird behavior with address book. Not so intuitive to manage it.
* No sync capabilities with computer, atleast I havent' found it. t68i came with a free software to sync with Outlook Address book and I really miss this feature in this phone. Once I organize my address book in the SIM card, and load it in the phone, I get multiple entries as "/M" and "/H" for mobile and home number entries. REALLY ANNOYING.
* Some weird and inconsistant behavior while browsing. Sometimes you have to click twice (Option and then Select) instead of just SELECTing once.
* Battery doesn't last quite as long as t68i ot t610.
* No speaker phone (not that my t68i had it, but Panasonic GU87a is good for that)
* No voice dialing
Overall, a good compact phone if you dont need all the bells and whistles of syncing, speaker phone etc... and are happy with a good stylish small phone.
