I currently own a t68i. I have been thinking of updateing to the P800 as soon as I can find on in the states (at t decent price). I just saw that the T610 is due for sale soon. I like the fact that it is smaller and I can user it to control my Mac with SEC(Sony Ericsson Clicker), but like the touch screen on the P800. I am stuck, which phone should I get?

Any ideas

--Michael

I used to own a t68i until a week ago when I upgraded to the P800, honestly I can't begin to tell u how great this phone actually is. Sure the T610 has some great features, but would it really be coming out soon? We all know that phone companies (mainly nokia and SE) always take their time, and delay phone release dates (look at the p800 for example) why not get a phone which is out now and is starting to get fantastic support from programmers. Do u like the look of the T610? When I first saw it I really did not like it, but u know what it is starting to grow on me.

the t610 will be out soon i think; they learnt from the p800. think of the long, long silence about the t68's sucessor prior to this announcement- they had it under wraps a lot longer than the p800, and only announced it when it was ready (there are people posting here who have already used the thing).

as far as which one to get... that all depends on what you want. the p800 is useful if you would otherwise be carrying a pda and phone around in your daily life. but, it's big, and more expensive (probably), and if you're looking for a "cool" phone you have to accept that it's not going to impress everybody. i think the t610 has the higher cool quotient, plus it won't put your pockets out of shape. on the other hand, it's not a pda..

i think it's time we all just accepted that the p800 is a brick. a very clever brick that you can play doom on, and almost certainly the best brick on the market, but still a brick.

oh come on, why the tsking? the p800 is a fantastic gadget, and the dream phone of a lot of people. but the principle reason that not everyone is running out to buy one* (aside from the price, which is fair for what it is) is that as a compromise pda/phone, it's big. that's just the way it is. even for people that have the money, and could maybe imagine using some of it's better features some time maybe, it's just too big to use as a casual chuck-it-in-pocket-and-forget-it phone. so appreciate it for what it is, and stop pretending everyone should have one!

* not a comment on p800 sales, i'm sure they're very good for the market it's in, and SE are very pleased with it. etc.
