Jojo - Use the search function, there's very good info here in Esato about Tequilacat. But you better get yourself a K700i or S700i if you want to make maximum use of TequilaCat Bookreader!

You have a Persian Cat?? Please post its pic here in Esato!

Wìth T610 SE become profitabili company, it's most sale phone in the world, and it was before it's time when he was announced before 2 years. So this model is writen in SE books with golden letters

the t610has something special in it, the alu cover and there the fact, that is has been "designed" well, as i see k7 is just a fone, next to the other se models.

I agree with Bob and Maki. The T610 made a huge impact in many ways when it was launched, years ago. Most people loved it, for lots of reasons. The K, although feature packed, didn't have the same impact when launched.

Another reason why T610 is more popular than K700 is probably because it was among the best and most features packed camera phone around you can buy, mainly also due to its compact size. Compare to other camera phones a few years back, it is also the lightest.

well the T610 is still special and not so out-of-date, because when it was launched, it overrun the time in the fact that it incorporated the most advanced and usefull features that would later be standarized, like bluetooth, MMS etc. In fact, when you have it in your hands, and you see all the things it is capable of, you don't regret spending your time using a T610, but maybe you will if you got a taste of K700

Never liked the T610; always though it looked odd in two-tone with concave sides.

I've had a K700i for just over a year now and I still think it's an awesome phone. All it really needs is a memory stick but then that's what the K750 is for I guess.

At current prices it's list of features is almost too good to be true.

Maybe the bug issue and poor battery life on the K700i during it's initial release out in the market placed it in the lower ranks, but a firmware upgrade solved some of the problems afterwards . . . [addsig]

I am a long time Ericsson/SE user(T39, T68 T616, T637 and now K750).When the K700 was announced I was initially very excited... until I saw that it has no upgradeability on its storage. That bottle neck is what caused me to reconsider upgrading from my T637. After a short time of using a Motorola (E1000) I decided it's time to get back to SE and now I have a K750. That is what the K700 should have been when it came out - then it would have won a lot more support IMO. I'm still not entirely happy about the fact that it uses MemoryStick since IMO it's a pointless format that was introduced because Sony was too stuborn to accept the 4 OTHER formats that were already established at the time. So here I am with yet ANOTHER 1gb memory card that I can use only in a single device (not much on Sony cameras/psp)

At the launch of the T610, SE was short of new products to launch and so this model had a high specification in order that it could compete with nearly everything in the mid-upper categories (BT AND IR for example).

It still is very popular today and there are some things my T610 can do that my K700i can't.

e.g receiving fax and data calls, Using Calling Cards, and more which I can't think of now.

It seems to have more features hidden in the menus than the K700 does. Pure techy....at the time....

The K750i is the one that I think has closest to having the same impact....
