Hahaha, all those who say 6610i is better than the T610 have obviously not used the T610 or any Sony Ericsson phone for that matter.
There is simply no comparison
T610 and T630 ar a class apart from the 6610i
So, Jatin, I suggest u go for the T630, as its the best phone u can buy in 10k
Don't buy the T610, as then, both of us will have the same phones, and we don't want that now, do we?

Jatin, depends on what phone u want to buy
U want Nokia, Alpha is definitely the best option
For SE, go for Heera Panna or official SE showroom

customer satisfaction

more reliability
trusted

nokia rulezzzzzzz

the clarity of sound and radio sensitivity is the best on nokia any place where signal is low nokia gives reliable comm where as other handsets give a break in communication. SO NOKIA is the way to go

I think i will go for the T610 for now...even tho abhijit has the same one.. :p
i dont think i wd get the T630 Bill with waranty for under 12000..
while i can easily get the T610 under 10000..so the upper limit set by dad will come into picture!!
Now to go to the shop and buy it..but wen and from where..
Mabe i cud ask a few places bfore going with the money..also CASH or CHEQUE??which wud be better?

i would definitely suggest the Sony ericcson T630 for u jatin...its a bteer phone than the T610

the showroom prices tht i have seen for the T630 are abt 11k....so u shud be able to get a T630 for abt 10-11k with bill and warranty elsewhere as well....

T630 is a great phone...great features....its way beyond 6610i my friend...the screen resolution is better, the screen size is bigger..the TFT screen is excellent...camera quality is better...host of conncetivity options....more memory....all this has been already mentioned....

although the software on the SE may not be as user friendly as nokia( NOKIA rules there!!!) but its definitely not bad....

had it been my choice i wudve bought the T630...

T610/T630 are anytime better than 6610i

if u don't mind camera then go for NGageQD....... it have all features u will ever need.

anyways the clarity of camera in 610/630/6610i is same at 320x240....... ans it is never a replacement of digital camera.....

if camera is must then go for k500i..... there u miss the bluetooth of 610/630 and FM of 6610i but u will get motion capture ie u can record movies with sound.... also 12MB is more than what u need to store all those photoes at 640x480....

and abhijit, the 6610i has approx 4MB memory...so it beats the SEs by a healthy margin....but i would still say that overall, the Ses r better...if only they had more memory....

Yep SE is better fr those aged <30
Nokia fr those aged >30

That is because SE offers fun things lke more games,Better sounds,Themes and what not

Nokia offers well pretty much nothin...It just sucks our hard earned money...

Wel I was joking. T630 by the way is really sweet ....Way Way better then 6610i and once u have used latest SE's u would not even go near any other nokia's(smartphones excluded)

Oh, I got 6610 memory confused with 6610i memory, didn't know it had more memory
Anyways, Jatin saw a live demonstration of two SE T610s in action today, and I think his mind is made up
Nothing like Bluetooth to convince a person what phone to buy
Jatin, Alfa won't help u if u want bill+warranty
so lets go to Heera Panna or SE showroom on Sunday
As I said, everyone criticizing SE have never used a SE phone ever in their life(I don't think they've even seen one in real life)
U've got to experience a SE phone to know what and how much its got over the competition

From an experienced SE phone user one thing which really sucks with the SE's is the battery life. Apart from those the SE's are an awesome phone. However check a previous thread on the Motorola E398. I got this ahead of the SE's simply cos the features list is fantastic. Plus gotta have a look at the phone....the looks are something else...

Go For T610

Hi

For 10000 Rs, T610 is the best u can get

Nokia 6610i has got the problem,
1st bad thing - 4K colour, Camera Clarity is the worst, Only good thing is
a good look but lookwise T610 is best.

Nokia 6610i has got a problem with Software, it keeps on hanging.

T610 is the best for clarity. lookwise the best..

It has got Bluetooth, IR , Best Screen Clarity

Its better to go for T610 instead of T630, coz all extra it has got is TFT Screen is & Different colour

Anywayz, Ur WIsh...

Bye, Take care..

I m planning to Take T610 Only :)
