i was browsing around for a 3G phone today, when i came across a black k608! always thought that the k608 only comes in silver. so anyways i asked the shop assistant and was told that the model comes in 3 colors, including black.
i looked the phone over, and everything looked legit. black, with same grayish silver side as the regular k608. but what i want to know is which country does it come from/where it is available? is black an official color for the k608? or is it just some cover change? anyone can let me know please? would appreciate it much.

As far as I know there is only a K608i and 608c. Never heard of a black version though.

i've seen one of these around downtown as well. the black plastic looks cheap-ish imo, but that's just me

jc, nope. not the v600 for sure. it's the k608, in a black plastic casing. apart from the sides and the joystick, all else is a glossy black and yeah, it looks a bit cheap-ish. but still, makes a change.
i've checked the sony ericsson webpage, black is not specified as an official color for k608 but if you go to sonyericsson.com/k608, you can see what appears to be a black k608 on the splash screen, showing the back camera shutter.

K608i is available in Indonesia in two colors now. The new black edition just added by May 5, 2006 in Sony Ericsson store in Jakarta.
I have no pictures yet but it was shown in Jakarta's newspaper SE's advertisement.
I'll take the picture from that newspaper and post here later.

Black K608i is genuine. The black version launched in India about 15 days ago. Using this now.

thanks for the photo, rifqi. now only for someone to confirm whether or not it's an official SE release. i've checked it, played around with the actual unit at it seems that the cover and so is original SE, though it does feel a tad cheapish. very glossy black.

I would also like to confirm the idea of a black K608i, ive seen one around my place (manila, philippines) at a mall.. i saw the unit from afar knowing it was a K750, but after I came closer thats the only time ive confirmed that it was a K608i after all... tho twas kewl...

still the memory is not expandable.
