I just bought a 5610. well, n here r my initial impressions, if it could help any one of u.
Pros: Nice looking phone, same form factor as a W810i, a bit slimmer though.
Nice light in the music slider n around the navi d-pad.
Slide Mechanism smooth, but of course requires some effort to slide open.
Very good keypad, glossy n comfy. pleasure to type.
Active stand-by shortcut bar.
Brilliant Screen.
Very intuitive n cool music slider under the screen. u can toggle between the music player, home screen the radio.
Excellent Sound. Dedicated sound chip. i must confess its overall better than walkman series, with a gud headphone though.
Sharp speakers
Natural looking photos with the 3.2mp cam.
flash n autofocus.
Videos in VGA res at 15 fps. better than most phones.
Opera Mini n Yahoo Go!.
Can use as a Removable disk when connected to a PC. in other words, data storage.
Cons:
Using the phone for sometime in closed slider postion makes ur wrist n thumb ache. at least for me, bcus i also owned a W810i which had its navi d-pad in the centre. 5610 navi d-pad is below, so its better to slide it open n use if u use it for a long time.
Very hard navi d-pad keys, certainly not fun to play around, requires quite an effort. i long for a joystick.
rest of the keys on the face are equally hard to press, making a clicking noise.
Camera shutter key not so good. too small n does not provide a proper feedback for autofocus.
Pathetic vlome rocker. tiny steel like keys, pain in he neck to press, unlike the projected volume keys of W810i.
Speakers not as powerful as N73ME.
Active- standby bar n go-to key could've been replaced by the very practical Shortcurt/Application Switcher key in Sony phones, because u can toggling between applications from anywhere is a breeze n u can return to ur application as u had left it. n it also acts as a shortcut key.
The music slider opens the music player in a jiffy but it'll return back to the home screen, exiting ur ongoing application.
I terribly miss the play/pause button frm the W810i with which u can play n pause frm literally anywhere, any app, any game.
While watching videos, if not paused or stopped will make it run in the background, with the volume on.
The phone is not lightning fast.
Photos just a bit dull , but natural.
User interface cannot compete with the overall Walkman series interface, which looked into every detail ever so beautifully.
No 3.5mm jack.
Headphones not the best. i am using my walkman headphones attached to the 2.5mm adapter.
Radio gets switched on in the background n pressing the power/end call button for 3 seconds switches it off.
No separate power button, Sony phones just have single press power button, unlike nokias which we have to keep it pressed for ages to switch it on n off.
No proper Luck key. lock key is provided as a shortcut in the Go-to section.
well, more on it later. i am not crooning or complaining, but on the whole, its a pretty gud phone, just runs short of being the most practical n user friendly phone. Good for a change.
wish me luck!

Well I've read one or two reports about users finding their phones shutting themselves down, but mine hasn't done this at all, and I've had it 2 and a half weeks now. Its only done one unusual thing - one day it refused to play any mp3 track, so I turned it off and on again and that cured it, so no idea what that was all about. Apart from that, its worked perfectly.
To make a video call, select the person you want to call and then press and hold the green "call" key.

oh yea,... and i have been waiting to tell this proper,,, yepp thou the cam is 3.15mp with highrt reoloution and details promised, what distinguishes this phone from those SE phones camera is the color reproduction, nokia's cameras tend to look dull in color production, compared to SE, where the cam produces fine dtails,and good vivd colours,,,, besides that this phone's macro is simply the best of this phones.........yea..

hey... i do also want to share my part of the probs too! this phone sometimes unusually shuts down itself or hangs either in camera mode or bluetooth mode.... being an brand new phone less than 10 days old, its glitches do freak me out...... like being one of the best phone brands around i cant stand its probs,,, luckily its problems have subsequently stopped..... and when it comes to the phone its just the perfect one... the 3.2mp camera is good and produces passable images..but aint good as SE.... and music performance is good too..... it simply lives up to its name... yeah!

To both Oly and Nithin - these questions have been directly answered already. Check back on previous pages as we're just repeating the same info here.
And to Akash - you can't use the front camera for anything other than video calling. Why would you want to anyway?

Went to buy this phone, but at the last minute did not buy it. The feeling is so plasticky i don't like at all, like a toy. Looks very cheap. So i bought the N82 instead, much more expensive but better in every aspect ! As i don't buy phone very often, i prefer to buy what is best.

This phone has a much better speaker than Nokia 5310. Back here no one is compaling about the speakers on the phone, which means it is loud enough.
The Nokia 5310 speakers are really dissappointing to the core.
Have a nice day everyone.
Cheers!!
