The T250i has that "cheap phone" software too. You know the one... Yes and No buttons and call and call end buttons. But the T610i has the very first version of that SE software we know and love.
I think the T610i may have sentimental value for some (it depends on when you began with SE and whether or not you remember) but most people who se your phone will think you just have a really old phone (it does look a bit dated now, although, still classic design!).
The T250i has T650i style design and looks flashy and modern even though it may not be so flashy on the inside. It has a better cam though. I love the silver one's design!
Even though I love the old T610i, I would go for the T250i. The reason being that I don't need bluetooth that much (I use it occassionaly) because I have a USB cable I can use for connecting to my laptop, etc. It has infrared which is OK sometimes if you're desperate. I just think that a newer phone is better in both looks and function (and better supported by SE!).
EDIT: But if you're getting it just as a back-up phone, maybe you do want sentimental value... So yeah. It really is up to you!

I don't like the W200i's design. To me it looked old already when it came out...
Thats just what I think though.
EDIT: But then, apart from lack or Bluetooth, it is the best featured phone of the 3.

Yup, agreed, of the 3, the W200 has the best features. However, the T250 looks better, at least to me. And of course, we have the T610 which is a classic.
The T610 may have bluetooth, but with only 2mb of internal memory and no memory card slot, I don't see how that would be of any use, unless you need a bluetooth handsfree for some reason. And like I said previously, it has a joystick and not a D-pad, which to me, is a disadvantage,
The T250 also has 2mb of internal memory and no memory card slot. It doesn't have bluetooth, but it has an FM radio. Also, it has a D-pad instead of a joystick.
The W200 has 27mb of internal memory, and an M2 card slot. It has FM radio, but no bluetooth and it uses a joystick instead of a D-pad.
So, those are the what I would consider to be the major differences, hope they'll be of help to you.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. |

This is hard
But looking at the specs only, I'd go for T250 or W200 (for music). T610 has got that sentimental value and it simply looks good and has great materials!

i dont know the conversion rate of aussie dollars. so i'll let u know in GBP. pounds that is.
The price i saw was around 40something pounds. New. but if the discount thingy is true, then it will be around 20pounds.
a dealer in australia was shipping me a Jabra for 18 dollars which roughly translated to 1100 paki rupees or around 10 pounds(bit less).
I'm short on cash at the moment BUT i'm well known around here so getting one on credit for some time wont be a prob
I dunno about sending money in an envelope. Ur older, u tell me if its safe or not!
@mizzle: wanna trade ur w910 for a classic? Remember the "good old times that money cant buy" bro!

Features wise, T610 still better. But it is very difficult to find the new one on the store...

which one has the most "w810-like" keypad, for super fast texting?
and yeah, the OS on the t610...is it fast or slow like the nokia 6100?
i mean, the menus etc...they are all prompt like the newer phones right?
and messaging as well...how much can be stored in the inbox of each phone?
AND while typing, does it get slowed (during long messages)?
AND if people are confused, THROW IN A K310 IN THE MIX AS WELL
(dont kick me)
