he slender, stylish K610 gives 3G mass appeal
13 February 2006
UMTS mobile delivers performance for work and leisure all in the size and weight of a 2G phone
3GSM Congress, Barcelona, 13th Feb 2006 – Sony Ericsson today announces the K610, a slim, lightweight and affordable UMTS imaging phone that opens up the world of 3G for a much wider population. Just 17mm thick and weighing 92 grams, the K610 is the size and weight of a typical 2G stick phone and will be one of the smallest and lightest 3G phones to come on the market. It packs into its slender frame a suite of advanced communications, business and entertainment applications plus a 2 Megapixel camera, Memory Stick removable storage and Bluetooth connectivity.
“The K610 is a classic Sony Ericsson design reminiscent of the iconic and much loved T610 with a balance of form and function that makes it pretty irresistible,” said Jan Wäreby, Corporate Executive Vice President, Head of Sales and Marketing
The K610’s pure lines combine with a solid, quality feel to make it a pleasure to hold and use. It is also incredibly practical and easy to use, with bright illumination plus large keypad and 262K colour display.
UMTS connectivity and a 2 Megapixel camera makes the K610 an ideal tool to shoot images and share them instantly – whether for business or pleasure. Creating a photoblog is easily done by just adding text to images and posting them to the Internet, or images can be quickly sent by email or MMS.
High speed email, web access and a range of business-friendly applications make the K610 the ideal partner for the productive mobile office. Standard push e-mail support (P-IMAP) sends messages direct to the phone without having to download them, and a flight mode allows users to work offline.
The phone’s practical use as a business tool is further strengthened by a comprehensive connectivity suite that keeps the user always in touch. UMTS is supplemented by Bluetooth, Infrared, USB 2.0 mass storage and Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) support,. USB 2.0 can be used to synchronise with Microsoft Outlook to ensure calendar and contacts are always up-to-date the handset.
Browsing the Internet on the K610 is a graphic-rich experience that is very similar to using a PC, thanks to the NetFront™ browser. HTML pages are presented in full with photos, video, words and graphics adapted to fit the 1.9” colour display, making it easy to scroll, browse and follow links between sites. New support for RSS Feeds allows users to subscribe to news services to receive updates direct to the phone.
The K610’s integrated music player makes listening to music on the move simple. Music files can be stored on Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™), which can be expanded to 1GB, It is easy to create and manage playlists and supplied software handles transfer of music files between the user’s PC and the phone. The player delivers a top notch listening experience, helped along by the phone’s high quality stereo headphones and built-in equaliser.
The Sony Ericsson K610 is a Dual Mode UMTS handset commercially available in Evening Red and Urban Silver colours and starts shipping during Q2 2006.

According to the SE website, the screen is a TFD, not TFT, I was under the impression, that TFD is one notch down on TFT in terms of screen clarity.

k610 is very nice. Sony Ericsson discarding the joystick and replacing it with the dpad is a good move IMHO.

No auto-focus for K610 though... That's a pity. Sp the camera probably won't be as good as we've become used to. |

Where does this leave the K750? If this phone which has a lower designation has better features.
Right now it's a toss up between the small compact K610i and the W900i...decisions, decisions, decisions

I guess the thread starter wanted to write S///, with the S referring to Sony and the /// referring to Ericsson  |

it's the natural upgrade to the K600, without a doubt. Nice phone but without auto focus not an option for those after a phone with true digital camera performance and ergonomics. Also, I expect it doesn't have an active lense cover, or am I wrong?
It is an excellent choice for those wanting a small 3G phone with almost the same range of features as a W900
Disappointing about the inclusion of M2 memory, but I guess realistically they need to reduce size of components where-ever possible. I don't really believe they do it to create a market for new format memory as some suggest. The fact is they are constantly pushing the manufacturing envelope. The space taken up by a duo port is substantially larger than an M2 port. Continuing to use the duo port would make the cost of reducing other components (that are already miniaturised as much as current technology allows) much more expensive. The memory port is one of the easiest parts of the phone to miniaturise. SE has held off from introducing micro memory cards for longer than Nokia, Motorola and others, so I guess we can't hold it against them for finally introducing the micro card.
