Sprint Releases Sony Ericsson T608

😕

I may have messed up I just purchased this phone on ebay. Will it work with the cingular network?

Can this model T608 be used on the Verizon Wireless network? It uses the same frequencies as my current V60s (850 AMPS, 850 CDMA, and 1900 CDMA). Can you buy this phone in the USA?

😡
The phone was purchased from Sprint in June, 2004 along with a Jabra 250 headset. I am on my 3rd T608 as of Jan. 14, 2005. Why?

I am a high time user- 3500 minutes +/month. It is a very important business tool. I use the phone for voice communications only. I do not know how or care to connect it to my laptop. I have had a plague of communications problems:

a. Dropped calls, the phone goes blank during a conversation, even while it is plugged in and recharging. I have had the phone drop the signal 3 and 4 times in a 5 minute call that was well within the proximatey of multiple Sprint towers.

b. Grabbled conversations: i have had people tell me not to call them on T-608.

both a. and B. are my chief complaints. Sprint shruggs ...

😕 😕 Have any other T608 users experienced a dialog box with "..." inside the dialog box in the lower right corner of the main screen? I have been trying to figure out what it means & the Sony Ericsson website & manual that came with the phone do not reference it.

I have decided to upgrade from the T608 to the treo 650 and have placed my new replacement T608 on ebay. Come check it out! It is a great phone and I really enjoyed using it.

I recently inquired to sprintpcs to see if they were coming out with any bluetooth phone in the near future and was told that yes they have 4 new phones coming out today Dec 4 , 2004 ! the sony ericsson t608, palm one treo 650, lg pm 325, and pcs pp-660. But now I have found out that the sonyericsson had been out for over a year but never marketed to the general public. So i am just wondering if this phone has had a software upgrade and battery problem fixed and does the bluetooth work well? I may try it and see what happens anyway. I also have the new sanyo mm 7400 and it is the most advanced phone to date that i have ever seen. All this phone needs is bluetooth. Anyway, let hope that sanyo makes a bluetooth phone for sprint ASAP.

Can this phone work w/regular SMS if it's ported over to Verizon (who uses SMS). This is an important feature which will influence my decision in buying this thing.

Also, is this phone even still available? Everywhere I look, I see that it's discontinued.

If so, what's the cost?

Am I better off just buying it on eBay? Let me know. Thanks.

I just received my new phone via PCS-AUTO, and have just activated it. I'll plan to post a user review once I've familiarized myself with it, but a few first observations:

PROS
--great compact size
--light weight
--reasonably loud ringers
--bluetooth

CONS
--dubious battery life (already showing diminished battery life and I've hardly used it)
--screen is hard to read in sunlight
--menus do seem slow to me

The phone seems reasonably well-constructed, and so far the menus seem intuitive and the sound quality a great improvement over my Sanyo 4900 (an otherwise unimpeachable device).

My intention is to use this phone to connect to the web w/ my G4 Powerbook, and any input from others is most welcome and appreciated.

STACK...

Has anyone had any luck using the T608 as a remote control for their laptop-powerpoint, keynote whatever...

I've tried the two major programs I've found and they register in the phone but don't ever control anything... the phone stays in PHONE mode... HELP...

Everything Sony Ericsson T608

I just purchased my T608 off eBay and got it in today, Ive got the Logitech diNovo keyboard and mouse set which has a usb hub as well. The software I got with my diNovo is Logitech's Setpoint which controlls the three piece set, well on top of that the logitech software allowed me to recognize the phone and gives me a full range of options such as syncing with microsoft outlook, setting up a virtual serial connection, and using the phone as a modem. I would highly suggest this setup to anyone using the t608 phone its extremely easy to use.

does anyone know if this phone can synchronize with Microsoft Outlook - calendar and contacts?
what is required to make that work?

Does anyone know where I can be a case my sony T608 phone. I search everywhere. The sony t610 and 612 case a too small.

Sandy 🙂

WHERE CAN I ORDER THIS PHONE HOW MUCH, WHAT REBATE SOME ONE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!1

Have a T608 and I love it.

Question, though: it isn't immediately clear (to me) how to speed dial (apart from voicemail). Is there a way to do this besides using voice commands?

Thanks...

Just look at the phone you can get it with T-mobile or cingular well not the same one but all the Sony Ericsson phones look the same so who can tell?. Nothing special about it. I heard alotta thing about this phone before it came out. i had never seen it adn then i finally saw a pic. of the phone and i was like "that's all??"
