The T610 was one of Sony Ericsson’s first smash hits, and many will argue that this single phone model marked a turning point for the company. Five years after its release, it looks like Sony Ericsson is about ready with a remake of this ever-popular handset.
We don’t have a final product name on this one - yet - but its codename is Remi. Personally, I like “New T610″ better, so I’ll just call it that…
The new T610 is a slim candy bar phone based on the W890 hardware platform. This means we’re looking at a phone with a waistline at about 10 millimetres, and it will probably end up at 10.5 centimetres in length, and 4.7 centimetres in width, but my assumptions are based solely on W890’s dimensions. Parts of the body are apparently aluminium, which seems rather nice, and much T610-like as well.
So… specifications. It’s running the A2 software platform, like the W890 and many others, and it’s an HSDPA-enabled phone. The camera on the back is a 3.2 mega pixel one, unfortunately only with fixed focus.
Can’t think of anything more at the moment, but if you’ve got a question, feel free to leave a comment, and hopefully I’ll be able to answer it 
Please keep in mind though that this is basically a non-branded W890, so most questions about features can be answered by looking at the W890’s features.

Sony Ericsson in Japan is once again ready with yet another multimedia phone. This time it’s the Sony Ericsson SO706i for NTT DoCoMo - a rather stylish Japanese phone targeted at the female audience.
It features a whopping 2.8 inch widescreen TFT display at a resolution of 240 x 427 pixels. What could that large screen be used for? Mobile TV, browsing the web, checking out the Eiffel Tower in Paris with Google Maps or taking photos with the built-in 2 mega pixel camera (with auto focus, that is).
The SO706i is also a rather light phone for the Japanese market - or so it seems - as it only weighs 98 grams. It measures 105 x 49 x 13.4 millimetres, so it’s rather thin as well.
SO706i will be out in Japanese NTT DoCoMo shops on July 4, retailing at about 40,000 Japanese yen - equivalent to about $380 or 240 Euros.

PhoneArena just published their preview of the upcoming Sony Ericsson C905 with the great 8 mega pixel camera on the back.
The preview isn’t that long, but there’s a really nice collection of photos and two 360 degree views, where you can really see how great the shiny back looks. Looks a bit like chrome, doesn’t it? Perhaps it is! Also included in the preview are some camera samples, and they’re - as you expected - the results of the best mobile camera out there, even in its early prototype stages. The C905 can easily knock out a mediocre compact camera once it’s released, I’ll bet you on that.
You can find the preview right here.
[thanks, Tim!]

Whenever Sony Ericsson releases a press release about the market sales and profits in advance of the actual press release with the final quarter results, we know something’s not going that great. And well, Sony Ericsson just released one of those press releases.
It basically states there’ll be market challenges, and that these have impacted Sony Ericsson’s sales and profit in second quarter 2008. Sony Ericsson’s estimated amount of shipped phones in Q2 is at approximately 24 million units, and the average selling price is expected to be at 115 euros. The net income before taxes is estimated to be about break-even. Sad news, indeed.
Sony Ericsson claims that its sales have been negatively affected by the moderating demand of mid/high-end phones, as well as delays of new products shipped during this quarter. What does this mean? More low-end phones for us - yay…!
The final results will be announced on July 18 at 7.30 AM UK time (that’s 8.30 AM CET).
