The Sony Ericsson W610i is a music lover’s dream mobile phone. The built-in music features make use of the Walkman concept to make this truly a music-focused handset. A sizable 1.9-inch color display screen is perfect for keeping track of all the music information stored within. The TFT type color screen has an ultra high resolution of 176 by 220 pixels. The casing is 46 mm by 102 mm by 14 mm deep and shows off two options of stylish color. Satin black or plush orange choices means that the handset is very eye catching.

The music keys are easy to access but discreet and the stylish and subtle keypad and navigation controls couldn’t be easier to operate. The Walkman motif of Sony Ericsson W610i appears just below the keypad and is proof that this mobile phone remains focused on music. A 512 MB Memory Stick PRO Duo™ M2™ memory card which is included in the kit means that users only must unpack the kit to begin storing their music. A larger capacity memory can be purchased which increases the phone memory up to 2 GB of storage.
