punkmonk007, 28 Jul 2009this is not a fone for those people who live by their phone... moreFirst I love this phone, I have had it for over 2 years now without any problems. I have a few comments to clarify on what you've said here:
1)You are correct you cannot listen to the radio when the phone is being charged, but that is because the wire that is connected to your ear phones is the antenna.
Other than that, if I had the choice I would buy it again. :)
2)The speakers are extremely good they blow any phone of this range, out of the water (good job Sony). They are very loud, good quality and I use them whenever I can.
3)I haven't had any problems with the keypad, the phone is small so they keys are small as well.
The only drawback would be that the menu shortcut cannot be changed which you can also find it by pressing the orange play/stop button in the center of the keypad.
4)Obviously, if you have pressed the start/stop button on the side of the device the song stop abruptly, rather than increasing/decreasing the volume buttons.
If you want to check the status of your phone, you cannot while a song is playing you will hit the increase/decrease the volume. Hence, just press the stop button and check your status.
6)Obviously, the song will stop playing when you want to record a video. When you record, you want to pick up the sounds of what you are recording.
My Feedback on the phone+++
Texting: it allows you to put your own words in your dictionary.
It doesn't take long to charge.
The color orange of the phone is what made me purchase it, it's gorgeous.
Ear phones are very good, and better when you change the equalizer to your own taste.
The memory card is very accessible.
Speakers are loud and useful, when you're out and you want something to listen to.
The pictures look great for a 2MP camera, tho the flash is a flashlight, but illuminates well in any case.
The flashlight is bright and I use it often.
The menu is well set up.
Song track id is good, if you don't know the same of the song you are listening to, it can look it up for you.
drawbacks:
I bought an 8gb memory card and I have over 900 songs on my phone, although, I have to reboot it to load all the songs into my play list(I do the same with a computer with updates.
The picture has a few seconds of saving time before it is saved, you might miss the shot you want. No zoom on the camera, you can only zoom once you have taken the picture.

punkmonk007, 28 Jul 2009this is not a fone for those people who live by their phone... morehm.. interesting feedback...
I recommend to use VGA mode for zooming~
Use 2mp mode to capture and edit it to zoom which part you want and save it. I've test it, it is much clearer than the VGA zoom.Honestly,VGA zooming is useless.
Telling the truth, I feel little bit of annoyed playing my music and i cant even see my phone status by pressing the "next" button too, but my tips is go to menu , press"#", and move up to find phone status, it is much better than scrolling down many options.
And one more thing, when night time you intend to capture an object photo, on your light, do not too close to the object due to blur after you capture,keep a distance with the object. And edit it and zoom the part you want and save.

i have had this phone for nearly a year. it is quite nice a phone. no error but a little bit problem with camera. 2 megapixels like other sony ericsson phone but the quality of the picture is not good. however, the sound quality when listening using headset is spellbinding.

it is really very gr8 phone
* amazing sound quality
* gr8 out door camera
* gr8 design . too sexy looks
* ya u cant zoom in 2 mega pixel mode but who wan to do tht bcoz digital zoom only reduce picture quality and also u can zoom after taking pictures . so tht is no way a drawback.
* a charger is avaliable from sony by which u can attact headphones and charger at same time.
if u try to look for drawbacks intentionaly than u may find lakhs in garbage by nokia and and others.

this is not a fone for those people who live by their phone. there r so many drawbacks of this fone.
1st the conection socket is the only way in or out of the fone{except wireless) so when it is being charged u can not listen to radio... f u... u can do only one thin at a tym . either chager it or plug in the ear phone, u cannot do both simultaneously.many fone hav 2 different sokets for these purposes.
2nd is u cannot zoom to take pictures in pixel modes. zoom is only available in vga mode for still photography... f u....
3rd is u cannot zoom the pictures to get a closer view. only 100% view is possible. if anyone knows how to do it in w610 i please inform me....
4th the speakers arnt good compared to other fones of same categoery(price) (like nokia... even the cheaper nokia fone speakers hav better volume level n quality.-pls mind it m Not trolling - deliberately antagonizing)
5th the key pad is not friendly. if u use some mobile IM and u r a regular chatter then u might find the keypad annoying.the buttons r not wide n they cause much pressure than the regular flat keypads.at this poin u realize how good the flat keypads r n this keypad is more pain than style. everytime u try u press the rt select key u mis press the short cut key 1st n then the rt select key which cause the running program to end abruptly. hahaha everything goes down n u will again hav to start he program b it a game or a chat.if u havnt saved it or it cudnt b saved then u regret getting the phone...
6th the play misic button on left side n increase/decrease vol button on rt side of the phone r exactly opposite. n when u try to to increase/decrease vol while playing a song in walkman it abruptly stops bcoz u hav pressed the play/pause button... n guys the vol up/down key is shortcut to see the phone status(like free memory, battery%) when its not playing. so when u try to get the status from the short cut it asks if u want to play the song... lol... coz now u hav pressd the play/pause button on left side. well it might b my mistake but how do u press those keys when they r oppsite to each other n there is no ther place to support. i will hav to use my both hands or press it in akward manner, supportin ur finger in different area than the opposite button. if u do it u know what i'm saying.
7th u dont know eher is the infrared port .. i know it is on top side but is it on rt or left. u might think m a fool but when iu want to use it with some ifra red devices or link it with other fone thru IR it doesnt recognise easily or the connection keeps on breaking. so i want to know here exactly it its so that i can make it work better.
8th the space bar key... its on lower rt corner, u may think now whats wrong with this. its very difficult to get a space now n then when u type a long one coz u will hav to bring ur thumb to the exterme lower rt.many phones hav space button in the lower center button which is much easier to use.
9th my w610i socket got damaged in a year. not i cannot charge my fone by a charger but i hav to connect it to computer for charging which obviously is slow n need of computer just to charge a fone makes u sick.actually it was damaged a long tym back. then only the head fone didnot work.ppl cud not hear i said from hedphone mic. i had to hold it tight to the socket. now the charger wont charge.
10th u cant play the song while recording the video.it stops playing the song when u record a video. if anyone knows how to do it please let me know. i will b gr8ful.
well it also has good things though. but after reading all these u probably arent interested to know.
1st it has memory card slot which can b accessed from outside. u dont hav to open the casing/housing n battery to change the card or to take it out n put it to reader
2nd u can minimize any application n run in background. u can acces the main menu n other files without closing the application which i find very important n useful.
3rd well it is sony ericssion. n d name says it all. stands out in crowd which u will surely lov to hav.
please comment on my experience... i wud luv to hav feedback. thanks
