Sony Ericsson Z610 announced

Aug 22 2006 - 02:13 PM ET | Sony Ericsson

Sony ERicsson Z610Sony Ericsson announced the Z610 today, a stylish 3G clamshell. The front face of the phone sports a mirror finish with a hidden display that is only visible when in use. Besides high-end design, the Z610 still manages to pack in quite a few features:

  • 2" 220×176 screen with 262k colors; outer display is 128×36 OLED
  • Bluetooth with A2DP stereo support
  • GSM 900/1800/1900 + UMTS 2100
  • 2-megapixel camera
  • Memory Stick Micro (M2) slot, 64MB card in box

Sony Ericsson plans to begin shipping the Z610 later in the third quarter. Because the Z610 uses UMTS 2100, it won't come out in the US (Cingular's UMTS network uses the 1900MHz band).

More photos of each color scheme are available below.

Wow I love the design and the colors. Someone's finally giving Motorola a run for their money on design.

Jon Gales Aug 23 2006

Sony Ericsson didn't announce what markets the Z610 will launch in, but I doubt India will be one of them. I'd guess Europe.

"Sony Ericsson plans to begin shipping the Z610 later in the third quarter. Because the Z610 uses UMTS 2100, it won't come out in the US Cingular's UMTS network uses the 1900MHz band".

What doeS that mean? Do you know if the phone can be used in Jamaica, cause someone should be taking one home for me.


Aristide Sep 25 2006

THe phone costs US$400.00 for those who wanna know. My brother saw it for that amount.


sarah Sep 27 2006

I dont know where you guys are getting your information, however I would like to know its launch date in the U.S.


sarah Sep 27 2006

To answer Aristide, what that statement means is they will be releasing it september sometime. Mainly in part that Cingular is the only provider in the U.S. To launch a new network other than gsm. THey currently in a number of markets, and growing. What does this mean, it means they will be ahead of the game and be able to produce more tech advanced phones. Such as the Z610. So it appears that sony ericsson is just waiting until cingular's network is bigger in the UMTS department. This new network is something to excited about!
