This lil first-take review from CnetAsia worries me a lil bout Z610i.

While the glossy mirror finish is an attractive feature on the Z610i, it has its tradeoffs. Besides being a natural magnet for smudges and stains, the smooth surface will be a haven for scratches.
If you are one of those who like to keep their phones in pristine condition at all times, the Z610i will be a challenge.
There is no cover for the camera lens, which means it is prone to dust, dirt and scratches when placed in pockets or bags.


Why didnt SE tot of using glass like Moto did? sad.gif

lol..thats the bad thing of having something thats gonna look really attractive..Get urself protectors mayb IF there are some for sale..

i hope SE wrap this baby up nicely, if not the time when i wanna get it, it will take me a few more moments to check for any scratches.. laugh.gif

i wonder what kinda protector can be used on this..since the surface is curvy,so those normal screen protector will have some problem sticking on. and i wouldnt wanna use those transparent cover to "ugly-fied n thicken" the sexy z610i .. laugh.gif

Ladies beware!! Read no further else u will find urself buying this exquisite clam shell.

this model seem to cater to the ladies market segment

Ladies will find the mirror surface an additional bonus


Whats with the review at mobile88.com??

Did SE really state that Z610i are targeting at the ladies market?

Something which is really nice looking doesnt mean its for ladies what...

HOw many guys here wanna get a Z610i?

Frankly speaking, i would get myself a Blue Z610i,
bcos the black doesnt really show the unique side of the design..

Its the same price. RRP 1299. its just that those "martha fockers" use the opportunity to earn extra evil money... vmad.gif DONT GET CON.

IMO, the blue or pink suits the design best..
its design to stand out in the crowd...
gain attention..attract every pairs of eye around it..

so if u have black one..it wont be as attractive as it should be.
the glossy front wont be as shiny as the blue or pink ones..

practically,the blue n pink may gain alot of attention on the streets,it also gains those unwanted attention from robbers...although IMHO blue n pink is more striking than black,its not practical bcoz its 2 attention grabbing,for a constant traveller like me,walking around in a super shiny/glossy phone is definitely asking 4 trouble

juz my rm0.02 tongue.gif

So it means that IF u have a sports car,
u would paint it black instead of sporty red/blue just bcos u don wan to be robbed?

Just got a pink baby last nite.
They gave me the display set and told me they have not much stock for z610i  cry.gif
I found small scratches at the front cover, screen protector is full of dust
Phone auto shut down once and auto restart once.
If same problem occur again, i will go back to change a new phone.
So regret to bought it from my old friend+neighboour! mad.gif
Not excited at all coz for me, display set is not consider brand new phone anymore =(

i donno why u guys need to tint/ skin ur z610i,
the glossy front surface is told to be strong enough to withstand some minor scratches,
when i bought it, i even ask the seller to SCRATCH the front with a key and he did. guess what..?? NO SCRATCHES at all.

so why r u guys worrying? hehe

not really true, rblade.... my wife just bought one about 2 days ago (rosy pink)... not only the surface scratches easily but also two small dents (dimples) on the lower edges near the word 'sony ericsson' on the OLED flip because of putting it in the phone pouch in her handbag. its really very fragile unlike her other phones stored the same way. not recommended for rough users! btw, this is her first sony ericsson....

the only cool feature of the phone is the OLED and 3G... thumbup.gif 

i must say that she is very careful with all her phones. the shop offered her RM350 trade in for her scratchless / drop free, samsung e730 owned for about one year. not bad considering samsung's resale value these days... she would not have traded in her phone if samsung were to make their phones ringing tone a lot louder like the other makes. samsung's major setback 

cheers icon_rolleyes.gif

this is not those sporty kinda mobiles..so a little extra care is needed..
so far mine is still glossy shiny scratchless.
maybe ur wifes case is 1 out of 1000 laugh.gif ...
