hi guys
i just bought this from ebay for $410 AUS
its really nice compared to my old W810i and i would proberly say this is one of the best phones for me so-far.... 
first of all the new walkman player is advanced with optional change for skin, and improved interface along with increased speaker volume.
camera is similar to the w8 series software is version 2.2
firmware is R1JD001 CHINA VERSION
one thing kinder find it hard is type in text msgs cos the keys are really small.
phone does not show clock in standby.
theres no anoying stickers that can come off like the W810i with the walkman sticker coming off. this one is painted on like the W800i series.
takes M2 cards, bigger and flatter battery.
other than that... few more minor updates in software, this is a great phone to upgrade to from a walkman series.
i give it 4 and half outa 5 stars

The orange butt is kinda ugly. The Satin Black one is good though  |

Am i rite by saying that the W610 has a 2MP camera with AutoFocus? and its got 3G, so isnt it in a way kind of replacing W900 at the same time as W810? its totaly replaced W810, bt its also basicaly better than W900?

No, W900i still beats all the video recording quality of the Walkmans hands down. |

No 3G, just EDGE.
Camera is 2MP AF, but with shorter focal length than W810.
Smurf-sized keys and FastPort location are  to me.

Not keen on the orange - marmite I guess!
Don't like the keys either!

Granted, we should be wishing BUFFBOY well with his new 
But I do take exception to the comparison to the W810. Honestly, if something were to happen to my W810, I'd replace it with another of the same. The W610 just isn't a compelling "upgrade" to me.
To be fair: after you've used your new W610 for a while, I'd enjoy reading a more detailed comparison of it to your old W810. I don't have a W610 in hand, so I can only go by reviews, forums, etc.

Looking good But the price is a little steep IMO.

it looks grimy. and are you sure it doesn't support standby clock? you can activate it in the 'settings', 'display' menu i think.
any pictures of unboxing by the way? |
