poor reception, overall bad functionality
I have had this phone for a week now and today I had to go exchange it for another one. The phone suddenly will not turn off and has a blank white screen. It won't do anything. The man at the T-Mobile store said the battery stopped working properly and I needed a new phone. The battery was charging all night long and then this morning the battery died. It is extremely hard to get reception. I am in a major metropolitan area in Southern California and have to try at least twice to make any calls, to find a signal, which is a weak one at best. I am very disappointed with this phone and with the fact that I will be without a cell phone for 5 days while I wait for a new one to ship from the factory. Hopefully the newer one will work better.
Great device - mediocre phone
When it comes to owning gadgets, this baby is a must. It can do so much - the camera is fun, the organizer is pretty good, the color screen is excellent, bluetooth has show-off swagger and connectivity and the games are a lot of fun. The downside, this is certainly not a great phone. Its signal reception is mediocre and it suffers from a weird combination: the user of the phone comes through extremely loud on the other side, while the T610 user can barely hear what the other person is saying. This makes you talk even louder, thinking you are not heard and you get the picture. Being so small, the phone also requires you to either put it close to your ear or close to your mouth. In summary - in every non-phone activity this is a superb device, but as a phone it is middling.
I'd trade this for any nokia or samsung... ANY
One of the worst. Bad picture quality. Slow Operating system. tried to capture certain things from Nokia but didn't do a good job. screen freezes up frequently. and worst of all... slow!!!also, terrible phone log system.
Good Deal !!!
The phone is pretty good.Very light weight.The display is good, it has several themes. Well...the camera is not that great! if you compare with motorola V600 or Nokia6600 but for me Camera is something good to have in a Mobile but not an essential feature.Battery life is incredible.Its a world phone ( Works in India :-) ).It has some PDA functionalities like organiser,calender,tasks list, reminders.Has Bluetooth, its pretty cool.Doesnt have many interesting games though!
Very poor at Signal Reception
Good:1) Connectivity options, connects via bluetooth, IR, and WAP.BAD:1) This phone is supposed to pick up what ever signal it gains, instead of telling me there is no network. I guess this phone comes with network lock and does't look for other carriers.2) My old phone used to pickup the signal strongly, but this one doesn't.
Don't bother
I was very excited to get this phone. It looks and feels great. However, the phone is extremely quiet. Try having a conversation outside where cars are whizzing passed you and you cannot hear a thing. Using the Bluetooth headset renders the same problems. Also the phone will randomly crash on you and the keys stick after a few months use. I'm in the market for a new phone.
