With a choice of three eye-catching colours, Luster Black is always the best choice. Airy Blue looks unique, but it doesn’t really look that good(in my opinion), whereas, some people like to be different. Rose Pink is real nice for ladies.

The sleek mirror finish on the front cover is a good reference to take self-portrait photos. One of the features that I like the most is definitely the hidden external OLED display, which can only be seen when in use. Basic information like reception signal, time, battery life, missed call/sms and song information can be displayed on the hidden OLED. It illuminates as soon as any sms or calls come in and it gives the effect that the caller-ID information is floating on the face of phone itself. Brilliant stuff. Another job well done by SE.

I’ve been using the 3G feature on the phone for normal internet surfing, and the speed is amazingly fast. I’m not too sure about the exact speed, but when I connect my laptop to 3G with Z610i, it gives me a 1Mbps speed, which is sufficient enough. And I love the RSS feeds reader which is a new feature added on. The only setback is that, it’s not easy to remove the battery cover. The first few attempts took me nearly 10 minutes to open the battery cover, and made me almost want to throw the phone away. You need to know the tricks to do it. “Turn the phone upside down, press the battery cover, and push” will do the trick. Remember that. Practice it until you get used to it.

In conclusion, Sony Ericsson Z610i is overall a good phone with its basic features and urban and fresh style. It is definitely value for money, except that you need to buy larger memory card as it comes with a mere 64MB M2.

**Warning** User with sweaty palms will have to think of ways to get rid of the smudgy fingerprints or stains that can be caused easily.
