I see a pinhole camera near the handset speaker... 3G anyone?

so tat could be 3g lor.. muz be have 3g la coz z1010 got 3g oledi ba..

using fast port...no doubt new UI

i see this phone.. no flash, thick, odd design..

lol .. this phone seems attractive in design ..but not one that i will look forward to own =) ..

i'll be waiting and see what the bigger bro of k800 will shock us with currently..

the only improvement is the 4.0 mp .. and optical zoom .. lets see what kind of improvements and new tech it will incline in it .. sorry off topic..

wo looks nice

2.0 mp summore

it looks bid ang fat.. honestly.. i dun really like the design..

hey the phone and the pic of the phone on the box different rite,one is flip,one is slide

and Press Release

I see..... Many fingerprints and soon-to-be scratches on the shell.

Nice design, wonder how it would be in real life.

The look is quite nice, but if too expensive maybe not my 1st choice of buying it..hehe

very nice,the external screen like sony mp3 player

the phone already official annouce refer to se website

Sony Ericsson today announces the Z610; a stylish 3G phone that blends performance with stand-out design. Z610 offers a 2.0 Megapixel camera and broadband-speed 3G connectivity.

The sleek mirror finish on the front cover gives the phone a jewel-like quality that is complimented by a hidden 'magic mirror' display which can only be seen when in use. With such a unique design and a choice of three eye-catching colours - Luster Black, Rose Pink & Airy Blue - Z610 is the clamshell to be seen with. Z610 is a really exiting model from Sony Ericsson being the first model where the design of the phone is first priority.

The unique design of the Z610 is inspired by nature. We have applied a mirror finish and used a hidden display for the first time to achieve the feel of a calm ocean surface" says Eiji Shintani, Art Director, Creative Design Centre, Sony Ericsson. "OLED technology has enabled us to build in a display that doesn't interrupt the seductive, reflective qualities on the front of the phone. And given that Z610 is also a highly-specified device, it appeals to the design conscious that need a phone for every day use."

The magic of the Z610 is revealed when a call comes in or the user receives an SMS or MMS. The hidden external display illuminates, giving the effect that the caller-ID information is floating on the face of the phone itself.

The distinctive design of the Z610 is matched by a feature set that lets the user get the most from their mobile phone. The Picture Blog application allows the user to share photographs with friends and family, via an online "blogsite", within just a few clicks. Simply take a shot with the Z610's 2.0 Megapixel camera and upload (or blog) the images directly to the site.

The Z610's 3G capability, coupled with its large 2.0 inch screen, makes video calling and accessing the Internet a pleasure; and with support for Push Email and RSS feeds that deliver the latest news updates direct to your mobile, it's so much more than a pretty face.

And when its time to reflect, support for Memory Stick Micro(tm) (M2(tm)) allows for generous storage of photos, video clips and MP3 files. This popular and portable storage format is available in memory sizes up to 1GB - that equates to around 2,800 pictures of 2.0 Megapixel quality.

Z610 is available in selected markets from Q3 2006.

-deleted- it's a OLED for sure...

This post has been edited by fulat: Aug 22 2006, 11:27 PM

just like the sony player
nice....

hopefully won't cost a bomb...

OLED, it looks so kewl!! But the camera looks a bit like a nipple. If SE manage to shrink the width, it would be a RAZR killer.

yeap... like sony walkman



use OLED too... but don't drop.... later habis.

target around 410USD

i like sony's OLED display.. like their bean mp3.

wow, darn cun laa diz phone...

the Airy Blue looked so nice....

wah so nice, its looks like i will eat more maggi lol

very shinny... scared look cacat if got scrathes...

the front panel OLED is going to be a scratch magnet....

Thread created by fulat merged into existing thread of the same topic

no AF again???wargh....

when will it be in the market??

Q3 2006 meaning before October 2006. if the estimate price is right at 410USD. this phone will be affordable.

OLED will help up batt life last longer?

but the back design is not mirror surface isn't it...
if not then it will be not scratch proof...

Nice design from SE... but i duno whether Malaysia have or not woh...

what do you mean by malaysia have or not?
if you mean whether it will be available in malaysia, of course it will
whatever phone in SE malaysia website have it will be available here

I like Rosy Pink

The external OLED screen is seriously cool!

Long life SE!

This post has been edited by michael9413: Aug 23 2006, 11:48 AM

It is the BEST designed clamshell among SE!

Imagine this, someone carries:
Handphone - Sony Ericsson Z610
Mp3 player - Sony Network Walkman A3000
Notebook - Sony Vaio AR
Camera - Sony Cybershot T-9
Console - Sony PSP
And all of them are in stylish black colour.

WOW!

*Then he will become the snatchers' target...

haha correct...
this phone is very attractive... n it attract ppl...
so it will attract snatch theives too....

Don't buy z530 or else probably u will regret~

The screen of z530 is UBC, not nice

really nice .....

yea its quite nice

stephen...
I only use it as a back up phone.... i have already one K700i n K750i now...
but I wan a secondary for my gf... as she always very lazy to charge her phone... hehe...

LOL stephen

nvm just forget about it~ hard to explain about my name

Anyway i advise u not to buy z530 as secondary phone also, maybe get z520 instead?

Hmm.... nope la now don wan... maybe give my K750i to her after i buy M600i or P990i...
Maybe she wan this leh... then we give our 2 K700i phones to both of our mum...
hehe...

This phone is striking attractive la...
Nice design... thumbs up for SE...
No too expensive but value for money... around RM1500...

This post has been edited by michael9413: Aug 23 2006, 02:40 PM

i don't have the Sony Vaio AR and Cybershot only.... anyway.... won't want a Sony Vaio. want a Sony Mylo!~

Mylo.... wat is that??? another sony small notebook???

I love the design of this phone. DEFINITELY getting this one when it arrives, but not for me, it's for my girlfriend (pink one suits her).

haha... ya pink suits girls...
but scare scratches too easily... see how it's goes...

Haha, then skin it. Might look nice.

lol.... support A2DP... so HBH-DS70 is a must~ i might get this also.... i love OLED. u can view it even under sunlight

add me into the you buy i buy list~~~~~~~~~

COOLNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

heads up girl, i love rosy red too~

now who said SE can not come out nice clamshell phone?

agreed.

but it kinda reminds me of Motorola PEBL, anyone agree?!

well this much more nicer... PEBL look la...
but SE come on a good concept...
hope that the shiny part is scratch proof...

was about to say that.

fat chance though. and skinning might make it look not so nice.

yeah i don like skinning...
i prefer to have original one...

the blue and black colour oso not bad.. got extra mirror for the ladies oledi..

haha... mirror...
well the design not bad but is it using the firmware like K800i... which have multitasking??

got multitasking good lor... nowadays ar.. i realize tat gurls like to put mirror in their pocket no matter where they are ler.. in sch, shopping, anywhere la sure got mirror for some gurls.. so this phone would be a big help as a mirror..

is it... duno woh... my gf don woh...
duno la... diff ppl have diff style n habit...

this phone sure can attract ex-moto user...
hope that they include a good battery...
coz normally flip phone can't last long....

this phone need protect good good lowh the front part.. later scratch a bit sure cry de.. very visible..

i really like the design ..but somewhat not very suitable for guys

yeap.. but i like.. the black looks elegant..

Z520 clamshell been selected as the most battery saving phone of the year. why clamshell phone battery notasting.

something like psp

Wow this phone is coming soon

this thread is very hot at this moment... hehe...

Keypad design similar wif Docomo...
but look like they refurbish the flip part... hehe... interesting...

really nice...the design even beat Samsung flip fon

the sort of 'metallic finish' is really striking

it is mirror finishing... not metal...
metal jus shinny only... now like they are using transparent plastic n do IMD wif it...
so it looks like that...

This post has been edited by michael9413: Aug 24 2006, 05:04 PM
