Lousy screen in daylight.

Painfully slow

Really annoying after each call a display screen comes up for a few seconds
so you can't make another call

People complained about my sound quality

Couldn't hear the call-waiting bleep.

Terrible menu

Lousy battery life

Speakerphone was Ok, but you couldn't use it all the time not e.g. when
playing memos and you had to press a couple of buttons to turn it on.

To call someone you had to press 2/ 3 buttons.

Poor vibration

The good points speakerphone, bluetooth and size,,,,, not worth the it, real
shame it was nearly there.

The T630 due out first quarter (although a GSM phone for TMobile, has a
much brighter screen)

Check it out at www.phonescoop.com

That is often caused by leaving Bluetooth on 24/7; if Bluetooth is
turned off most folks report fair to good battery life for Sony/Ericsson
phones.

I tried a T68i from AT&T and I've heard it is similar to the 608. I had many
of the same complaints about slowness and the screen and the number of
buttons pressed to do anything. I had hoped that Sprint style menus would
help this.

The battery life was excellent  (on GSM anyway, can't remember if BT was on)
and it was tiny and featherweight.
