SE T630 mini-review

Have had this phone for about a week and will be updating this review as I learn more about it. So far I would give it 7/10. The price was good so if you're mostly interested in a good phone for talking, then this is the phone for you. If you're looking for a cool gadget, this may fall short. Looking forward, if Sony could add Mp3 player, more memory, address feature and better camera, this would be the phone to beat.

Strenghes:
+small size
+sexy design (black one)
+email client
+nice vivid screen
+quick menu
+bluetooth
+great reception (even better than Sammy S105 I had before)
+free handsfree with button on the ear piece
+extensive scheduling options.

Weakness:
-not clamshell so its a pain to unlock (*, C) everytime you want to use it.
-screen is only 128x160
-part of wap screen is taken over by titlebar.
-no street address feature
-no mp3 player
-camera sux
-memory not expandable
-menu is convoluted (you have to dig down pretty deep to get at some options).

Where did you pick up your T630?

I'd like to buy one myself. I live in NYC... is there a place here to pick one up or nearby?

Thanks in advance.

I think the Strengths outweigh the Weaknesses. =)

I have a z600 and trying to get my hands on a T630 right now =). But I have to admit, SE did a great job on the z600. Reception is amazing.

It was $100 w/activation. The phone is the German TMO branded one. I think they also have the unbranded one, but it's white.

I looked at the Z600 and wanted to go with it but the T630's size won me over

seems like some people dont like the size of the z600 is it really that much bigger than the T 610

I had the t630 like 4 months ago. That phones reception was horrible. I could not get service in areas where I normally had them. Also the camera is horrible. Does not even function well. I had to get rid of it cause it did not do what it claims. BTW you can't even take pics with normal room lighting.

Just imagine the T630 about 5cm longer and FOLDED. That's how long and thick the Z600 is.

It's definitely a guy phone because I have no problem with holding it or talking with it. Very comfortable.

I held the T630 and it's very small. I think a girl would like the size and the feel of it. =). To me, i was using 2 fingers to hold it talk with. Pretty gay IMO.
