I have had SE's Since it's inception. Two moths ago I made the mistake to get into a Motorola V 400. Not a bad phone at all, just not an SE. SE's are by far the best phones on the planet.
I've tried several phones throughout the years nothing compares.
The T 616 is a classic design and can be modified in terms of cosmetics, however not discontinued as I have heard. Maybe calling it a T 717 or something. The design on the T 616 is like no other.
I changed the housing on My T 616 to a complete black.
My kids call it the Pimp Juice phone.... Go figure.....

Welcome here! Nice to hear you are happy with it, have fun in the next future aswell!

I would love to hear other T 616 owners experiences.
I am going to get my son a new model and take his. This way I can restore it and have it as a back up or show model.
It will be somewhat like having a "55" restored chevy in the garage.
LOL !

I used t630, do liked design, screen and keypad, on t610 i liked the alu cover.
Posted by REO
I could not find original cover anywhere. Does SE sell original covers to the general public?
Posted by BobaFett
Of course, the metal grey, the blue and the red one.

Where did you get that cover from?
Posted by REO
I picked up the cover from a cell phone booth in the mall. (Florida)
It as shiny as the original. Except there is no aluminum.

@reo whats your batt standby time?
Posted by REO
@Bobafett
Generally, my stand by time is roughly 10 days.
Talk time is roughly 7 - 7.5 hrs. Better than any phone I have ever had.
SE's are awesome when it comes to stand by time as well as talk time.
It's definetely a keeper.

10 days? How do u get that result! Guess u dont talk much.
Posted by Ayush
The housings are aluminium haze, volcanic red and abyss blue
Posted by REO
Maybe half an hour a day , somtimes 20 minutes.
When I talk alot, 3-4 days standby is what I get.
I can talk for 3 hrs in one day and still have, half a charge.

not sure if i'm allowed to post links.. but I came across this site in my travels. Its excellent for S-E parts (housings and other random stuff.. all OEM stuff from S-E too..)
http://www.cnn.cn/shop/ <-- I would not have posted it if it was a crap place.. but they sell all s-e parts cheap, not crappy 3rd party stuff.

I just made the switch from a SE T68i to the T616. Seems to be a great phone so far.
