Sony Ericsson K618 announced

Today in London, Sony Ericsson announced their 3G barphone K618. The latest addition in their lines reminds very much of the K610 model and differs only by the 256 MB Memory Stick Micro memory...

            Hi everyone! Since this k618i doesnt have a built-in fm radio, I would just like to ask if the HPM-80 walkman headset that comes with the w900 will work on this phone? Has anyone tried using the said headset(hpm-80) on a k610i? did it work? if it did, where will i be able to purchase one? I really like the design of this phone (k618i) the only thing that is making me think twice in buying it is it doesnt have an fm radio, LED photo light and Megabass, otherwise it would have been a great success following what the k750i has achieved since its release in the market. i used to be a loyal user of Nokia, but when my 3230(worst fone they made) began to show-off its bugs, i tried out the k750i and I was happy about making that switch to SE. I already had the chance of holding a k618i and i was really impressed with the design and the quality of its built. too bad, i didnt get a chance to turn it on and try its features. but i am sure this model will be a good replacement to my k750i. At least until a "k620i" with fm radio, LED photolight and megabass comes along. the k618i will be just fine and it will be better if it will be accompanied with the hpm-80.

              What is the font size of the SMS text. One thing I hate about Sony Ericsson phones is the thin and small fonts of messaging. Can the settings be changed? There are many far sighted people people who have problems reading the small text.

                Hi @all:
                I just love the SE K618 cellphone, and am happy that SE keeps there lovely shapes, unlike NOKIA who changes there shapes so often, very dependent company and ugly cellphones

                  SE should integrate Led flash,radio,MegaBass to all phones of Z,K,W series

                  Autofocus/macro only in walkman,P-series and cybershot phones is enough...

                  but return LED Flash,Radio, and Megabass to all phones please...
                  hope se listens

                    Good features but looks as bland as every other candy bar SE.

                          I experience the charger problem too, i bought a converter so that i can use a nokia charger to charge my SE but now, earpiece also having the same problem, its either the lack of contact between the conducting material or the things gone loose after few months of usage

                            Its high time that SE changed the faulty design of their charger and data connectors. As it is, the contacts need to be scratched with a knife or something every week (more often in tropical climates) to remove the oxide coating. I've had no such problems with any of my other phones. Also, the plastic clips that hold the connectors in place get broken off if you're not careful.

                            Why don't all manufacturers follow Motorola's example and use MiniUSB ports? Then, charging can be done anywhere.

                              i've been using the charging connector for years and never had a problem.

                                  So the k618 is the general release number for the Vodafone V630i? They look identical.

                                    When will sony change the bad design of their cahrger connector?
                                    It's been the same since the T610, it always loose contacts after a few months of use and u have to shift and push the connector somehow just to get a decent contact.
