Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Lets get back to this comment:

Speaker hisses?? WTF.

What do they mean 'hisses'. When does it hiss? When you're speaking? Is it just yours or all of them? Have SE been informed/made any comment?

I'm d*mned if I'm buying a new top-o-the-range SE T610 phone that f*ckin hisses...

@ aziz

The quality of the photo taken with the phone is not that good compared to the mca-20. Could it be that you were so excited of holding the t610 that you couldn't stop shaking .

@ NoBackUp

Are you shure that you can only transfer files with bluetooth? According to the manual you can transfer images etc. with the ir, and its usless having an ir port when you cannot use it. Is it very annoying that the screen pulses when charging? Because its not a very big problem in my opinion. What about hissing, is it during a phone call or when the phone rings? Is the sms tone reasonable? And probably one of the most important questions, is there the memory allocation problem in the t610 like the t68i or is 20kb actually 20kb in the phone? What is the memory size of a 352x288 photo in the phone?

Thanks and sorry for all the questions but I am relly interested in buying this phone but not if it still has the same problems as the t68i. Well probably I would still buy it .

If the phones are being sold in Dubai since yesterday then the gray market phones should be here in Thailand by tomorrow. Better go check out the shops.

sow here are the cheap websites to buy new phones. 400 is nothing for a t610 in my opinion, when i know they will tryto charge like double of that if i go to a store here in US who imports phones and then sells them with our without a contract.

websites please.

T610 impressions:

- SMS is FAST, easily as fast as the Nokia phones
- Pic quality is ok, and looks good as wallpaper
- Phone feels comfortable in my hand (big hands)
- Polyphonic tones are loud and clear. =)

Now to answer all your questions.

1) No download…. There is no cable in the box…and even when you connect up the cable you can only down load from the PC to the phone (Pics) you can only upload from the Phone (Pics Sounds etc) via IR or Bluetooth
2) Hissing sound is during a Call, had this before on a Siemens and was cured via software update. Note this does not come when you are using Handsfree only on the speaker
3) A picture max size i.e. 352x288 is 20.8 KB in the phone and after transfer to the PC 20.8 KB
4) The Alarms are quite….and the SMS but it depends on the mid file that you use. I will try to up the volume in the file its self which should make the whole thing louder
5) All Alarms and Ringing starts off low…does automatic stepping (up to the loudness that you have preset) then the vib kicks in …so short mid’s (ringtones) are useless…
6) The Screen is useless outside here in Dubai TOO MUCH SUN…its even a little worse that the T68i…think this has to do with the reflective nature of the plastic covering the screen …the shinny black case is also real bad for finger and cheek prints.
7) The Joystick is better but now they have reverted to SOFT keys to place and drop a call…which means whilst on the face of it appears to be the same as with the old T68i …it aint as easy to drop a call or Busy out a call
7) The reason for them selling it here is that the market here is small and if there are problems with software and hardware they can deal with the returns and a fix quicker, BEFORE it enters the larger markets where it would cause a Hugh logistical and loss of face! Also NOKIA has all their phones here 2 days after they are released and that means SE has lost market share in this emerging market and sorry but the T300 T310 T600 don’t stack up against all the latest 7x 6x 3x 5x phones (which were avail here within a week of being released) from BONKIA!

Hope I have been able to answer you questions…
