T610 battery cover is a plastic piece that is skinned with metal (aluminuim?). I have hella scratches on mine to prove it. It's also dented in two spots.
I beat the crap out of my phones.

dont have t610 but quite sure thats plastic too!!!
if you dont believe me get a screwdriver and proove me wrong!!!
how can you be more sure than the t610 owner.
i have a dent, .5mm deep in my back cover and you can see metal shining through it. if you want i can attach image.
actually t610 has plastic base, then aluminium layer (almost 1mm) and then brushed aluminium finish. so there's no chance to make scratch that reach plastic. unless you're very persistant

ok, i love them metal effect on the back, i know there just a lsyer on top of the plastic but it makes the phone look classy and stylish, bit like the v3.

The only SE /Ericsson Phones with a proper metal back (not plastic with a thin sliver of metal) was the T28, T39, R520, R320 and R380. These phones had a magnesium alloy back to them.

grca, you sure the back of the k700 isn't metal? why on earth does it feels colder than the front of the phone (which is plastic) whenever i put it in an air conditioned room? the stuff sure feels like metal (a layer of metal, with base being plastic) to me. and the t610 has a metal coated back, confirmed!
anyways would love a slim metal phone from SE, which could be inspired by the RAZR and takes it's design cues from the sony cybershot T series. sigh, a man can dream.

basically with the k700i the shape is plastic but has a layer of aluminum over it, take it off and you will see the black plastic.

I don't think it's a (pure) metal -

K700i, hard plastic . . . . maybe
