T610 & T630 (have both), build quality & f/w rock-solid
K700 & K750 good phones (also have both), build quality by Lada and firmware by Sinclair Computers Ltd

I am a long time Ericsson/SE user(T39, T68 T616, T637 and now K750).When the K700 was announced I was initially very excited... until I saw that it has no upgradeability on its storage. That bottle neck is what caused me to reconsider upgrading from my T637. After a short time of using a Motorola (E1000) I decided it's time to get back to SE and now I have a K750. That is what the K700 should have been when it came out - then it would have won a lot more support IMO. I'm still not entirely happy about the fact that it uses MemoryStick since IMO it's a pointless format that was introduced because Sony was too stuborn to accept the 4 OTHER formats that were already established at the time. So here I am with yet ANOTHER 1gb memory card that I can use only in a single device (not much on Sony cameras/psp)

At the launch of the T610, SE was short of new products to launch and so this model had a high specification in order that it could compete with nearly everything in the mid-upper categories (BT AND IR for example).
It still is very popular today and there are some things my T610 can do that my K700i can't.
e.g receiving fax and data calls, Using Calling Cards, and more which I can't think of now.
It seems to have more features hidden in the menus than the K700 does. Pure techy....at the time....
The K750i is the one that I think has closest to having the same impact....

IMHO, T610 had its own glory time and I was so lucky to be able to own and use it for almost 2 years.
Now, it is the glory time of K750. K750 is an awesome phone to me right now.
Every SE phone has its style and glory time, I cannot compare them just by their appearances.

Thats true but the T610 took a long time to become really popular, it didn't peak for a long time after it was launched.
Voice Activate profile change - there is another thing the K700/S700 cant do
It seems
have streamlined the features on some of the newer handsets. I was reading recently, on here, about the K600i bugs and 'can't dos'. It surprised me.

Features and design are not everything in a phone. I have seen many ppl here in the US that are still happily using their T610. One reason is many users in the US want just basic phone functions, SMS etc. But the main reason T68 and T610 are classics is that those phones have a certain feel to ppl that cannot be explained with features or design, etc. Peeps take those phones in their hands and are instantly attracted to it regardless of it's quirks. That is the reason ppl are still using their classic phones regardless of newer band better phones. That is also the reason I still use my T630 and P900. The P900 is just beautiful phone in itself. The shape the form the colour. It's harmony and the feel I cannot explain.

I agree.
Thats why it annoys me sometimes when people compare phones by the listing their features side by side and doing an 'on-paper' comparison. Like the Nokia v Sony Ericsson threads that crop up from time to time.
One might be better on paper but the other will be a much better handset simply because a lot of thought has been put in to how the phone interacts with you - aesthetics and ergonomics.
The design and feel of a handset can never by judged on paper, the user experience is unique to each model.
