ThreeX,
perhaps you should go take English language lessons...
I asked about the DESIGN aspect of the phone and not the overall.
Sorry pal, I know what it is like to spend a bundle on your BMW, I mean, the Siemens S55 and then find out that SE has just released a meaner, kick S55er phone. With your money spent and lots of regrets, the only way to feel better is to ridicule the latter. Poor guy...
I think there is enough sympathy in me in not throwing up a list of what my friends say about the Siemens S55... it will only make you sadder...
Go join your Siemens forum, pal...

Perhaps you should actually _read_ the post?
I quote:
"Too bad.. they obviously donīt want a bigger share of the market judging by the design.."
"What is it? A calculator? A remote control?"
"Congrats! First the t300 GH198-retro lookalike and now this?"
"I didnīt know Motorola and Panasonic had a joint venture going on"
"Like exchanging the Corvette with a Lada, jeez"
"Not what i would call a must have.. or even want for that matter.."
"But seriously, were they in some kind of hurry?"
Isnīt that design related comments?
Regarding the S55, itīs a t68i competitor in both price and performance. I wasnīt satisfied with the t68i and got the S55 for basically the same price and got way better performance. The S55 was available at the time I wanted it, and i do not want a bad camera as i already got a digicam.You can post opinions from around the world about the S55, i really donīt care. I like it, period. The difference between you and me is that you asked for opinions and i didnīt. If you donīt like the answers, donīt ask the questions!
Stick to the subject, I do.

I think it looks great, sure it hasn't got memory stick and only 2mb mem
but for a phone that is the same size as a t68i with an in built camera and 65000 tft screen it looks great. If people want memory sticks and such then buy a p800.

I like the T610, it is a sweet design. Ok its no T68 (i) and that was a stunning phone for its time, but also difficult to manufacture, required specially made batteries (even now there are two sets that need to be made, one for T68, and one for t68i, just to match the looks of the two models).
It was a special phone, and shoudl be known for what it was. It was THE phone that caused Nokia to get really scared. And had great longitivety. It was an Ericsson phone that didnt look like an ericsson, and is still sold today. Let it be for what it was. The new designs are nice, and i like them, they are nto the same as old ericssons, but they are still nice. ANd maybe its a good thing they dont look like older ericssons, rememebr we see ericsson as technically supreior, but from past experience, most of the public do not think that way. They remember ericsson as a company that went down. It woudl be pure folly to repeat that mistake. I remember myself when I first saw the T39, I was thinking is it the same as the T28, which had problems and some problems on the feature side. I didnt realise at the time that the T39 was a remarkable phone brimming with features, but simply the fact that it looked like the T28, caused me shivers. The T68 changed the design, and made it look like a phone that was different to others in the range, and peole convieniently forgot past ericsson failures and gave it a go. Noone i know who bought the original T68 or T68i are dissapointed with their investment, and they even say "its not like a normal ericsson, which is why I like it"
Now its time to move on. The new T610 uses the same battery as the T300, and T310, whcih makes it cheaper to manufacture in volume. And before people bash it as as a "sony/Japanese" design, remember it is designed by a swedish guy (mentioned in the mobile-review.com review)
Also remember the Sony phones were generally well recieved by the public. I see many people carrying a T300, including myself, certainly more people than I see carryng a "Ericsson" phone (a phone universally called "butt ugly" by people on this forum). Those people love the phone, and think it looks cute.
What really cheeses me off, was when I had a nokia and in a busy environment, whenever someone's phones text message beep comes, about 10 including myself people woudl look at their phoen thinking they got a message). I originally bought the Ericsson to be different. Now in crowded places, we hear the "da da da da" and now ten people start digging out their T68is and T300s. No more unique! (SE, PLEASE allow us to select our own message beep in the future!)
Ok enough of my ranting and raving!
Signing out!

Sorry again, Three X pal, your post is but ONLY 1 vote in the poll.
And I have included that already in the "Dislike" tally.
I can get 100 people to say 100 good things about the T610 in a single post and it will still be ONE vote. Maybe you can register yourself as 5 different names in this forum and say bad things for all I care. I care only about the general esato community for which you are but ONLY ONE part of.
As for S55 being T68i's competitor... considering the T68i being a year older and yet being a competitor speaks a lot...

I like the design of the T610 alot. I think it look really stylish. I love the metal look. And the curved sides of the phones gives it a great look.
Actually I think the look is better than the T68. I know a lot of people will disagree, but I think The T68 looks old compared to the new T610.
And it is nice to see that SE understands that the normal button placement is preferable to the whacky and idiotic designs of Nokia and Siemens SX-1.

Good looking? Sorry? I think FU UGLY sums up the lot of them very well. The best looking phone I've ever had was the T68 (although th 7110 was close when it came out). These have absolutely no design merits whatsoever. They look cheap, plasticky and dated. And what the hell's that at the bottom of the 310? A space bar?
I'll have the P800 any day.

Agree.. good example of (idiotic) design getting priority over function and user friendliness..
