I went to Low Yat this afternoon and i saw the promotion by one of the stalls who were selling ori k610 with free headset and free 256mb m2 card for about Rm 1300.

The offer was quite tempting as the K618i at Rm 1388 had a free 256 M2 card but no adapter to convert m2 to standard memory stick where as for k610 they offered it wth the converter

Yup..use the sony ericsson pc suite

The best advise is to see the phone for yourself.

K618i and K610i are about the same except for the package & casing.Both of them can perform multi character search .

I own a K610i and my comments the things that i dont like are :

a) Their sound quality ( using phone speakers) isnt really that good.You will have to listen for yourself to be the judge of that.The built in music player is ok if you listen to music through the handsfree kit instead.

b) The camera doesnt have AF (Auto Focus) and is terrible taking close shots or in poor lighting.

but then again they are a value buy for 3g phones.

W810i has better camera and mp3 player but no 3G.

So it depends what you are looking for?
