TFD is not as good as TFT.
Advantage is uses less power.
Disadvantage is not as sharp and poorer colour reproduction and it's older technology.

do you think they are using tfd so it uses less power and they can use a smaller battery?? If they start to do this just to be slim like phones are going at the moment it wont do them any good but for crying out loud i hope they dont resort to CSTN displays they were used in their t68..!! but that said im sure s/e also used UFB displays at one point and ive never heard of since..
UFB = ultra fine & bright
CSTN = colour super twist nematic

at least this has a flash which is probably what will make me go for this rather than the better looking W580i or W660 SE phones coming soon.

well i opted for a w850i over this handset it cost me an extra uk £50 but I think it's worth it.

i think SE should not loose quality by following the "slim" thing.

- TFT is better than T

Sharper and colours are more real and accurate.
The W610I screen is TFD as described. They seem to have moved from TFT (Thin Film Transistor) to TFD (Thin Film Diode).
TFD is older technology that uses less power but is not as sharp nor can it display colours as well as TFT. TFD max's out at 4096 and uses emulation techniques to scale upto 256,000 colours.
The fact they are using TFD's in their new line up is off putting, even the w810i has a better screen!!
I'm either for a w850i or the w880i. Though the w850i seems to be winning.

Got mine yesterday...the white one...its very slim...I have been using Walkman phones for quite some time and ver 2 is better than ver 1....the phone is everything I wanted....the screen is very crisp and loudspeaker is easily heard on noisy street...the keys require to get used to...well this will be a good phone till my next one which is going to be the i-phone...too bad it comes in India in 2008.

Unfortunately there is no sleep mode clock again like w810. The interesting thing is that on SE official site there is a w610 phone software simulator and there is a sleep mode clock option, but in the manual from the same site there is no such a option. I asked SE in Greece 2 times about it and nobody knew ;-) Can you imagine what a support SE offers?
You can check about this peculiarity on the SE site. Interesting ;-)
I checked the phone and there were no sleep mode clock. If you need it just do not buy it.
