Exclusive: Sony Ericsson’s T610 remake

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.

    I am using T610 since 2003 and would like to buy a new model with bigger megapixel camera with auto focus and all other features similar to T610. Unfortunately T610 & T650 have poor legibility under direct sunlight. So I was hoping SE will come out with higher/better version than T650 with this defect removed. Is there anything in offing?

    Umm, nice, but I thought that the T650 was the T610 successor? Why would Sony Ericsson brings back something that already has a successor? My take on this is that, this new phone will be slotted below the T650.
