Duration of ownership:
Strengths: compact and durable design, sound is excellent especially with the supplied headset, great battery life
Weaknesses: camera is prone to scratches (no cover) aside from that, no more.
Overall Evaluation: this is an excellent phone. i really love the crisp and clear sound plus their MEGABASS technology, the music experience is at its peak. i like the 4 way navigation keys rather than joystick. keypads are very good as well as the display. the most adorable about this phone is its battery life which surpasses my expectations. it clearly surpasses the power of my nokia(N82) and samsung(D500) phones before this.

Strengths: music player, mp3 and FM, flash light, UI, battery life
Weaknesses: call volume, camera, various other small flaws.
Overall Evaluation: This is overall an excellent phone that comes highly recommended. The phone simply has everything you would want from a phone and it does it right. However, there are many small annoyances that you should consider. -The camera is not that great. It's 2mp, but pictures don't compare to a real 2mp digicam. Pictures come out kind of grainy. -Video resolution is very low. Very disappointing compared to other phones out there. -Call volume sometimes seems low. The speaker phone is kind of low too, but it's not always a problem. -To set mp3 files as the ringtone, you have to somehow crop the file to an acceptable length before putting it into the phone. -No dedicated Send or Hang Up buttons. It is not intuitive and sometimes gets confusing. -Doesn't record the length of previous calls. -Home screen shows the date but not the day of the week. -Connecting to PC is kind of buggy. -When you connect it to PC, it makes you lose all call history. -The boxy design makes longer calls uncomfortable on the ear. -No way (that i could find) to delete built in mp3s. They get into the mp3 player's rotation and are annoying. Overall, these flaws are annoyances, but not deal breakers. Other than that, the phone does everything else very well. It's simply a good, solid phone.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: 2MPix Camera, Memory Stick Pro up to 2GB, Great Walkman, Stylish, USB, Radio, Bluetooth, Infrared, LED flasher
Weaknesses: Screen just dimms but does not turn off during a call. Low ear piece volume. Navigation keys' chrome paint goes off after few months. No Camera lense cover. Low quality video compared to still image.
Overall Evaluation: Well this is a good work by Sony Ericsson! The 2MPix camera is capable of capturing great still pictures, and the support of the flasher LED is not bad, but the video capturing quality is not that impressive compared to the still image quality. I believe N70 has a better video capture capability though both N70 and W810i has 2Mpix cams. Great phone display quality, much much better than K750 & W800. No lens cover, that is a terrible thing not to have! The external memory can go up to 2GB which is great where you can store lot of songs and files. Even you can use this as a Bluetooth or USB flash drive and it's very handy. Battery capacity is massive, you wouldn't run out of power easily. The music player, the radio and the earphone quality is fantastic! Trust me, it's the best.. even better than the new K800. >> One problem of this phone is that the screen backlit does not turn off during a call, which makes no sense at all. And I feel it drains the battery slightly more in long conversations. I found a mini solution for this. During a call, you may navigate to messages and open a text message. Then the backlit will go off. >>The phone's ear piece volume is bit low compared to the Nokia I had before. The chrome finish of the navigation keys went off after few months & I hated to see that happening. Final thoughts, it's a good phone. Massive capabilities. Recommended.

Strengths: Easy to use, nice menu, fuctions...
Weaknesses: Sound does not come clear off speaker, low volume.
Overall Evaluation: When I saw this phone I thought it looked great. So I looked at its fuctions, camera feature, mp3 player, menu, everything cool. So I purchased it. However, something really bothers me now which also dropped the rating of this phone from 5 stars to 3. This phone is blowing the other speakers. I am working with a computer all the time and no matter how far I push this phone in my cube it still interferes with the computer's speakers. So annoying. And the the signals are very strong and sizzlings are very loud. My previous samsung phone caused no noise at all.I am also concerned that I carry my cell phones in my pocket. I hope it wont cook my eggs.

Weaknesses: None
Overall Evaluation: This phone looks and works very good. 1. Very good voice quality. 2. Very bright screen, you can see clearly on a bright sunny day. 3. The built in camera is very good, we wanted to take a picture of my team during a team lunch and I took my phone and everyone laughed, but when I sent the picture, no one believed that it was taken from my mobile. 4. I also like the voice dialling and it works well and is really helpful if you are driving. 5. The battery holds the charge pretty well. 6. Neatly organised menu's. Overall a very good phone.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Compact, Multiple Functionalities, Good Camera, Good MP3 and FM Radio, Speaker Phone
Weaknesses: Screen doesn't shut off while making the call
Overall Evaluation: This is a very nice cell phone in that it packs so many functionalities into a single piece of electronic device with the size of a candy bar. The features I like most include the auto focus camera that produces high quality pictures, the speaker phone that you can use when a headset is not available, and the built in FM radio. The only drawback of this phone is that the screen doesn't shut off when you are making a phone call, and therefore, it wastes power if the call is long. However, the battery life is decent in general.

Duration of ownership:4 Weeks
Strengths: 3 in 1 features. The quality each of them are so good. you don't need to carry may devices
Weaknesses: Like everybody complain. The low volume. When you listening to music it's hard to tell if somebody was calling. I missed a lot calls because of that.
Overall Evaluation: I own SE T610 and I love it but this phone is far beyond the one I have before. I like the most is mp3/radio. You don't need to buy other accessory to experience great sound. For the camera, I'm very impress the quality and the functions. It has macro mode and other features like compact camera. I can not believe that. With the extended memory you can store many songs and photoes. what else do you need more? I expect other carrier has offer this phone too because I have to change from T-mobile to Cingular to use this phone. I prefer T-mobile.
