@max_wedge: It doesn't have a lens cover but I still think it's great phone...has got the potential to be a best seller.

WOW
u won't belive me..

today,in another thread (what question whould u ask mr.flint),after iposted my question,in my mind i was wondering if i should also add the question "why doesn't introduce phones in more colours" and i was thinking like maybe a blood red coloured candy bar would be great.and now,about 6 hs later,they announce 1.

ok..does K610 have autofocus and macromode??does it also have 'walkman' in it?i loved the red colour.

but again as in the M600 thread,i must ask here...after a lot of "orange" in their phones last year,this year seems to be "blue"...look at the M600,u will see blue colour in the front and back.similarly,there is blue colour in the silver K610.what do u think??

Like the press rElease says, this is the successor to the lovely T610. Good job too, no other phone was worthy. ;-)

@brix25, I agree absolutely.

As I said, I don't think it will appeal to those like myself who want a "real" digital camera in thier phone. My phone is my camera, and I use it everday, so I want it to be as good as possible. I don't want to carry a camera AND a phone on me at all times, so the best option is to have a phone like the K750.

However people like me are the minority, there are many more people who would be more than happy with a 2MP, 3GP candybar almost as small as a T610

But that's the beauty of SE's new approach to model releases, they are bringing out handsets for everybody

The T610 is 24mm thick. Is this not thinner? Its brilliant how they managed to shoehorn all that tech.

Its a great product IMHO, but people that have the k750/w800 will still wait for Wilma i think But for people that still have older phones this is the phone to get right now

According to mobileburn, it has autofocus.

According to SE site K610 comes with Disc2Phone, which I believe indicates it has Walkman fetaures as well.

If it has auto focus and activelense , then it will be as good as the K750 as a digicam, but remember the K750 successor is rumoured to have 3MP camera and other improvements - so I'm interested in Wilma also.

thanks for the link Arne.but its not confirmed yet.

so it has memory stick M2...pretty expensive compared to memory stick for K750i.
and doubts around autofocus and macromode.

i think unless someone wants 3g in a slim candybar,people will still go for k750i.but many people will be fooled to buy K610 as both have 2mpx cam(but they wont know that K610 cam is inferior to K750 cam).

btw,wats its internal memory?

but i think a large market still exists where people will want to upgrade from a VGA cam phone to a 2 mpx cam phone.the target is VGA cam phone users.i think they should continue to introduce more 2mpx cam phones till 3mpx cam phones r announced.
with 3mpx ,they are targetting the current 2mpx cam phone users.(i think most 2mpx users will wait for optical zoom cam phones).

I totally agree dr_thug, I think it will have an excellent market appeal. As you say it will appeal to the vga to 1.3mp candybar market ie: K600/700.

Love the K610, bring it on. I'll admire it from afar as I wait for Wilma

When will it be available? Around june? I think its great stuff. Better designed than the k600 IMO. Just wish they come with more colors like those t610. Anyway, it looks like its using aluminium casing...true? I definately upgrade my k700 with this baby.

Does anyone have an idea of the K610i will sell for when it eventually gets released?
