Sony Ericsson W610i

I bought the Sony Ericsson W610i on September 17 2007 from SelectGSM at a cost of around $300 including shipping. I initally had a bad experience because I found out later that they were shipping from Hong Kong without my knowledge. The good thing is, the duties on it, coming into Canada were only $18 as the list price was around $80. It arrived a week later with absolutely nothing wrong except it had a HK charger.

Below is a picture taken from my camera at Explore Design located at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. I included it because many people are picky about how good there camera phone is. Keep in mind I did have to shrink the size of this photo.

My experience with the phone has been great from the start. I initally charged it for 6 hours, inserted the SIM card and I was ready to go. The only disadvantage to this phone is the top right and left button that are used occassioanly and are hard to hit especially when you buy a clear case for it. Other than that, the keypad is very easy to get used to as the buttons are small rectanges that protude out compared to a soft touch keypad on most normal cell phones. The layout of everything is amazing and navigation is a breeze. I am completely happy with my purchase because the quality of the speakers is great for just one, the menu is cool (vibrates when you navigate), camera is decent, scrolling through the Walkman is easy, and there is many features including SOS. It has a nice weight and size that fits perfectly into my hand and the colour scheme is amazing. You can't get this phone in Canada but you can order it from a website including SelectGSM and PureMobile.
