My favorite was my good ole t610. Then a small upgrade was the t630. Honest to god, that was the most indestructable phone. Idk if anyone remembers but I fell into a pool with it...then let it dry in rice and it worked! Then...fell into a bowl of salsa...I thought it was done...but it worked again! The screen was never exactly perfect but it still worked good and I could see everything. It just had lines in it. Then came the s700... (Or s710 in my case...att). And I liked it but the swivel got old and it got dirty so I could always hear it when I opened it.
Boy did I want that k700 though! I wanted it BAD but I never saw it over here in the states. I think that's the time I got a treo...wanted the p900 but I couldn't get my hands on one.



Edit: oh the m600!!! I wanted that bad boy more than the k700!

Edit again: man, I have to change that signature.

I still have my white M600 and it still works great!

and as good enhancement as the T610 was over the T68i, it was plagued with early problems of hissing during calls etc and I really loved my white T630 (so much more stylish!).

Here's some old pics of my T610 silver and blue vs white T630 that I previously posted on Esato (bit blurry as I didn't have such a good cam in those days!)

Those days were good when we didn't have to worry about Apps and battery life.

ooh, I beg to differ... people here have always worried about battery life and have always been concerned about apps (especially appz, unfortunately) wanting the latest games etc for free. But many also liked to compare scores on the apps available, which was very healthly competition (including me with the T610 game Deep Abyss for which I was in the top 5 in the online scores for quite a while! )

The k750i had mammouth battery life!! Just went for days. The k800i was a massive milestone and a great phone too. Actually thinking again I guess the k800i was my overall fave. It was the longest time I ever kept a phone 13 months
Phone?? What phone??

Loved the car-1!! Never got the bot-1. Never even saw one in person
If I could get a car-1 like car that would work with a BB, I would mod it to look exactly like the car-1!
Its good to be back!

I still to this day don't know why they never released the ROB-1 ha ha. I thought it had something to do with Privacy issues.

Oh the fun you could have had with that thing in the office.

@masseur Do you still have you CMD-MZ5? That was the Sony Mobile to have the first time around - along with the CMD-Z7.

The logo will not be used. There will just be the SONY logo. No . The reason why it has been retained on the Xperia S and Ion is because its a hardware thing. The logo cannot be removed in the last minute. Not as simple as changing the branding on top from Sony Ericsson to SONY.
Unknown13x mentioned this quite a long time ago I believe.

I had one of those and there was a great esato thread here about modding the car!

no, I sold it to an Esato member a few years back.
