[edit] Features

The K610 is a successor to the recent K600/K608, although the true predecessor to the K610 is disputed (although the naming convention may trace back to the popular T610). Its features include a fixed-focus 2 megapixel digital camera with 2x digital zoom, Bluetooth v2.0 and support of Sony's new proprietary memory card format, Memory Stick Micro. It has a slightly bigger 1.9 inch, 262,000 colour, 176x220 pixel TFT LCD screen, built-in email client, WAP and HTML browser and a D-pad for navigation.

[edit] Design

  • The K610 is a small candybar style phone which is comparable in size to the K750, which is only 2 mm shorter, 0.8 mm wider and 3.6 mm thicker. It features larger and more ergonomic buttons than the K600/K608. Comparing the phone to current 3G phones available these days, it seems that the K610 is far smaller and slimmer than even some recent 2G phones.
  • Navigation is provided by the central D-pad which is used for navigation of menus. The two soft keys provide greater flexibility whilst navigating and the popular activity button and web browser buttons are still included in the minimalist design.
  • The camera is located on the reverse side of the phone and in accordance to Sony Ericsson's dual front design philosophy, common to most Sony Ericsson camera phones, the phone is held in a horizontal position when taking pictures.

[edit] Criticism

Although being relatively small for a phone of its features, the K610 has been criticized for not including several common features found in today's crop of mobile phones, namely; its lack of an FM radio, camera lens cover, EDGE, IrDA and LED lights for taking pictures in low lighting conditions.
