Yeap..is a bit heavy...but so far for 3G clams this is the best i saw so far...... the only one can vs this is V3x but too bad i m no motorola fans.....so i stick to this...at least is better tha N71 to bulky....but nokia 7390 coming out soon.... another 3g clams...u can wait for that n do comparison...

would say that Z610i for the moment is the coolest SE clamshell. But in terms of festures i would say Z800i better. I still prefer my old Z800i over Z610i because of the rotating camera and it has photo light which is great only as a torch light. Moreover the external screen for Z800i can use as view finder for the camera when close.

In terms of size Z610i smaller than Z800i

Z610i size 94x49x20 mm weight 110g
Z800i size 102x49x23.6 mm weight 128g

Going to get Pink Z610i pink for wifey, prefer Ori Thorus but got to pay premium. Worth it to get AP and save about RM300?

just bought the Pink Z610i AP set smile.gif

Actually the main reason why so eager to get it is bcos my Z800i can't charge the phone for pass 2 days. Since Z610i and Z800i bat the same BST-33, got the phone for wifey and same time can charge my Z800i bat. But mahfun, every nite got to swap bat.

Got the set for RM1050 with 64MB m2 card.

guys anyone know where and how much to get any external cover/crystal protector for this baby? have been carrying a spec cloth around to clean it everytime  tongue.gif  .

saw the crystal cover at Subang Parade for RM10. But the plastic quality not very good and kind of "blur" the mirror effect. Also make the phone bulky.

the flash cannot be used for the z-series.

thanks, it makes sense because the flash and the camera will not be in parallel.

thinking to get this phone
does the glossy surface easily get scratched?
is the ringer volume loud?
*
phone won't be easily scratched if properly taken care off e.g. not put into pocket together with other hard or sharp obejcts. However evertime one touches the phone, sure got finger print marks.

Ringtone Volume pretty loud i would say.

Hi all z610i users..

Any of you tried to set an uploaded picture (from digicam) as wallpaper?
Will it get distorted?
I tried to set some pictures (jpeg from digicam) as wallpaper. The pictures look fine in the picture folder. But once they become wallpaper, i can see the color changed a bit, and the picture also look pixelised a bit, especially the human face edges..
*
the quality of the picture does get distorted a little bit in most phones due to resizing.

For Z610i, what you should do is kind of cut your photo with ratio 176:220 and when transfet to the phone it auto resize to 176x220 you get less pixalation.

how do i resize my picture in the phone? i couldn't set a picture as a wallpaper because they said the pic is too large :S
*
**Edited**

sometimes a pic may be to big for the phone to autoresize, in this case use a picture editor like Paint Shop Pro or even the Paint that comes with XP to edit/resize the original photo and then only transfer to phone.

there's no way i can resize using the phone? man.. it's gonna be troublesome

nope, i tried to zoom too, doesn't work. anyone has any idea?
*
no lah u can't resize in the phone manually. It does it automatically. As for resizing, easiest is use "Paint" that comes with windows. Use "Stretch" 50% Vertically and Horizontally. Then save file with JPEG ext.

i also try to zoom photo in z610i but cannot woh.

anyone kno how is the display if compare wif k550?
*
there is no diff between Z610i and K550i as far as display is concerned.

the K550i with EDGE and A2DP is basically a improved K750i and the only advantage K550i has over Z610i is the autofocus camera and radio. But i must add, Z610i camera is lousy in low lighting situation.

Then again if you are a DiGi user, then K550i with EDGE more appropriate then Z610i 3G.

still no ppl answer my question yet =.=
anyone know where to download or how to fix the bug for z610i leh ?
sometime really . . . when see the funny word come out = =

try this before u flash firmware

1. Take out battery and then restart again.
2. If problem occurs again, do a Master Reset.

if above failed to solve you problem, and if yours a Ori set, take it to SE service center. If yours AP set take it back to the shop and ask the dealer.

Or, they are few people at Garage Sale who does firmware upgrade. Babyk was one of them.

Can't help you on how to update Firmware via SEUS as never use it before.You can goto www.sonyericcson.com.my for more info on update.

everybody fast fast go buy 4D his number tongue.gif

if strike 1st 2nd or 3rd, can repair car and also buy new LG shine rclxm9.gif

anyway, the car damage looks bad but surprise it only cost RM1300 to repair. And i must say for the z610 camera not very "sharp". I am thinking of getting another Z610i black (AP now less then RM800) for myself but after considering the camera, i am having 2nd doubt.
