A new heir is found…
It was just over 2.5 years ago, my train was delayed and I was looking at some new mobile phones in Spits! newspaper. Although the advertisement was printed in black & white it immediately caught my eye, the lovely super slick Sony Ericsson T610. I fell in love with that phone and I knew I had to get my hands on it. When my student allowance came in I ran to the store to buy it together with my first subscription. Now, after almost 3 years I still think it’s one of the best designed phones 
No other phone has been able to move me as much as my T610 - untill today…
Unfortunately cellphones are becoming more like monster gadgets with über nice extras like a camera and of course a media player. Although the T610 also has a camera, it slowly becomes time to find a new heir. I want a new a phone with at least 2.0 megapixel, a mp3 player AND expandable memory. 
Of course it also has to be very very nice looking *sigh* I have been browsing new phones, but I didn’t see any really nice ones. Just when I thought I would never find a ‘nice’ phone again - I laid eyes on the new Z610i 
ME WANT BAD !!!
The new phone of Sony Ericsson has just been presented to the public in London on August 22nd - so it’s brand new! A release is scheduled (for Europe) somewhere Q3 2006, price unknown. An interesting feature is it’s external display’s mirror effect - it’s only visible when the Z610i is lit up 
Similar to the Sony Walkman display? It comes with a 64MB Memory Stick Micro, but you can upgrade your memory to a maximum of 2GB !!! 
Uhuh~ it also has the regular extra features you can find on all the 3G phones.
Further details on the exact release date, price and provider exclusivity still have to be published 
So I’m not sure if I will be able to get this phone in combination with my subscription renewal. Oh well, if not I can always go for the Sony Ericsson K610i or choose a Playstation Portable as a subscription renewal present 
Bwaaahhh~ I’m such a SONY fangirl!

Ohmy, my face totally went from “:O” to “!!!” at the prettiness of that phone. lol.

That new phone looks pretty awesome. I think when I am looking for a new phone I’m not really going to worry about all the extras because I probably won’t use them anyway.

Omg! I so want that phone, it looks really nice! Sony rocks!

Hahahaha, it’s so funny! Lately I’ve been thinking about getting myself a new cellphone, too.
Looks like I fell in love with the same phone as you. Our tastes are so alike! XD I wonder how big it is….. boy…. I guess I cannot sleep tonight as long as I didn’t gather enough information about Z610i.

Ik heb de T610 ook gehad! Heerlijke telefoon he? Ik had hem een jaar maar vorig jaar is ie dood gegaan tijdens mijn vakantie in Lloret de Mar
Heb toen tijdelijk een Motorola gehad maar die was echt slecht. Nu heb ik weer een Sony Ericsson, een W810i en mn vriend heeft nu de K800 besteld haha. En ik heb een Sony Ericsson mp3 speler en een Sony Ericsson discman dus je bent niet de enige fangirl

… Wow. That phone looks amazing! Very sleek, shiny and it looks like it is relatively small. It really puts my old Nokia to shame. Gah! I want one now!

None of my phones was used by me for more than two years. You’re reasonable in searching for new heir after 2.5 years.
Z610i looks super, although I’m a Nokia fangirl. I’m pretty sure that it’ll be quite expensive. Good luck getting it in your hands!
