Just spoke to etccomms.co.uk on the phone and they say that it will be out on Orange at the end of the month - although they don't have a definitive date yet. It's about what I was expecting/hoping for. I am planning to get it for £115 as an upgrade on my current contract (£10/month). So hopefully have it within the next couple of weeks! |

http://www.lohenette.fi/ just told me that it will hit Finnish markets in July at a price of about 435 euros

@ Simon69c
How are you getting the T610 as an upgrade for £115? I would love to know, as that is exactly what i am looking to do. Could you tell me where you are getting this from, and on what network? I'm on O2 and have a T68i, so I reckon if I sold the T68i i'd not have to lose too much money.
How much are T68is selling for now? |

So the UK is one of the biggest mobile phone countries and still no t610. SE should think about where they release the phones first! |

Yes - but that is a point. To release the phone in the UK, you need huge volumes .... they'd be looking at 200,000 + handsets. To release in Dubai (for example), you may only need 1000 .... |

...and also it makes sense to release in smaller markets first as they will find the first software problems which can be fixed before it goes to mass markets

Well that is the price for Orange upgrade being quoted on etccomms.co.uk. It appears that the T610 will be available on Orange first in the UK so don't know what the situation will be with O2.
Have you considered porting your number to Orange? You would get the phone even cheaper as it would be a new contract and you could probably get a similar tariff to the one you are on now (under the Orange Value Promise scheme of copying competitor tariffs - although they don't copy o2 online unfortunately). |

Try http://www.avrmobiles.co.uk. £105 on Orange upgrade, + free accessories (hands free, case, car charger, car holder). I'm changing to a mid contract (£25, 120mins+120txt orange) so I'll be getting it for £40.
Just phoned them up, they changed the date of release to sometime in may. Previously they said this week or next. Don't know what that means. Hopefully that they're sorting out any bugs! |

Not very much 
My theory was that I sell my t68i early and then can afford to get a t610.
My t68i + camera + chatboard + datacable went for £160. 1 bid on eBay

Cheers for that - Think I'll get it from whichever of them has it in stock first - not too bothered about £10 here or there when it comes to this phone! |

£115! I'm gonna upgrade too but i cant see you getting it at that price,where is this from??? Oh,and i heard it cud be July that Orange UK will get it now! :-( And upgrading on Orange is a £50 upgrade fee,after that they charge you by how much you spend each month on your bill (or s/thing like that). SE UK emailed me today and said no price till release! :-(

No problem. To be honest, I'll probably get it from wherever has it first as well. Put a post up if you hear anything!! |
