Sony Ericsson M608 - User Reviews

  • I love the phone i think this phone should be modified and bring it back unto the market

  • hi...it very good but very bad...hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • it is a good phone but lacks in 3g sony has 2 still make it better

  • maybe m stands for 'mega' because of the phones size or 'many' due to its large amount of buttons. wat do you think?

  • i think "M" for Multimedia.

  • Wat da meanin' of M??? any1??

  • let me give you a bible piece of advice, better to throw it in trushcan and buy new one and most expensive. cheer-up its not the end of te world ("/)

  • my fone got virused and its not turning on now//now tech can fix it//they keep on saying they cant detect pin out.what should i do

  • if u need camera u can choose p1i, but may be u now in some offices ( e.g. Bisiness , ...) 4 security camera is forbiden. All manufactures know this!

  • Go for P1i

  • i have a problem with my set that the touch screen has malfunctioned so i unable to attend any call nor i can make any call .can u help me in sorting it out

  • its quit exspensive i think.... but it has no camera, cant use it for 3G.... why sony ericson didnt made M 608 with cam? i like this mobile phone, but its better for me to buy the other, with cam i think???

  • I have m600. speaker is load enough for sure.

  • it is a good mobile but not for music so it's volum is so low even with the head set and has no camra

  • it is a great innovation and i would buy it only if it the 3.2 mp camera and a radio. I really would. right now, only business people are buying it, it is not for your young adult of 21-29 of age.

  • Hi all. I hope that information about this phone are INCORRECT!!! It's impossible that nowadays the phone like this doesn't have 3G or at least EDGE... I can survive without camera,but for emails and other application need support for hi-speed download.

  • Hi, Need Help pls. Cant seem to read anything on screen during day/public - when out. Have been staying indoors only.HELP. What can i do to make the screen more visible during daytime?

  • It's not as cool as i thot it was. Features and all dont impress me. Rather opt for a blackberry.

  • What is with all these wannabe-PDA phones? No 3G, no wi-fi, no EDGE... and no camera to boot. I like the look of the phone, but it's data options are seriously lacking compared to the price. I know some people care more about having 'just a phone' VS. a communication tool, but there are cheaper "just a phone"s out there. Don't know what Sony was thinking with this.

  • Coming Soon yet?!!!!!

  • harsha im decidin from this or the 950 i dunno i thnik i might go for 950 as its a walkman phone and should hv better music featuress

  • there r phones ,same price with better abilities such as better design and got camera

  • m608 is gooooooood what system camera not ?what ?

  • i was talking about W950i. 1. battery life (how many days can it go without charging. 2. how would you rate the sound volume of the player as well as the call. this would mean great help as i am in hurry..

  • i jus have to queries on this phone. 1. I have heard that the volume is not good enough, is it too soft? 2. How long does the battery last 2days or 3 days. Pls resond as i planning to pick this piece in two days. this would mean great help.

  • I like the looks of this phone.I have one Suny Ericssun (a chinese)phone that looks like it but it has camera.The screen is bad now how do I get areplacement in Nigeria.

  • i always luv p910i, thats my best phone of all times

  • its a phone not a camera, its about time they offwered decent phones without cameras as certain high security buildings will not allow entry to anyone with a camera phone!

  • What happened to sony ericsson???? Are these guys going backwards??? This is a very disfunctional phone. :-(

  • i like this phone because it is beutiful

  • This phone needs a camera!!!!!

  • this mobile iz 2 kool ..... n guyz this is for only rs 10000 in markets ... so go fast ...... to buy this fone .. tata

  • clock proccessor?

  • a phone like this needs more than GPRS for data...

  • what no wlan ???!!

  • I dont like this phone, i guess that the cost its to much for the utility, i think you can have betters phone on this page... thank you

  • i am still waiting neo m 600 : with 2 mp camera, transparant cover for touchscreen,just like motorola, and black alumunium material ........and radio fm with internal antenna (no cord)

  • please my touchscreen isnt working anymore...someone please help me out what can i do? i cant answer calls...please help someone please!!!

  • great phone cool

  • I love M608i Very Much The Best Moblile Phone For My Work

  • There's no camera because this is a business phone. it's purpose is to be functional in the workplace. and generally a camera is not an essential item for the workplace. the benefit of the omission is that the phone is very small for what it does. it's all about trade-offs. personally i can live happily with no camera.

  • why would an expensive phone have no camera at all? it doesnt make any sense...

  • I appreciate it doesn't have camera, but i can't understand the missing wlan. wlan is a must for these kind of phones !

  • How is the Sony Ericsson M608 different from the M600?

  • Am in love with the white colour! Keep it up SE. U are the best!!! but i still need a camera pls SE.

  • same old same arm processor.. i think abt 208mhz.. p990i,m600,m608,w950i all uses the same processor

  • Sony Ericsson rulesssssssssssssssssssss

  • this one is without 3g

  • wat processor is used by this phone..? and wats the mhz...?

  • just like the M600

  • wuts the difference between this and the m600?

  • this phone is v.good but if we have camera 3 mega with it i think i will buy it soon but in this model of phone we need some spacifications

  • beuty phone butt why we dont have a camera with this phone to be the marvelas phone in the workd with 3 mega camera.

  • in which models of sony ericsson i can have Bluetooth NAP services, like available in K510i? can anyone guide me pls

  • this mobile is very good.this mobile is very law wait.this mobile operated very eazy function.

  • I think it is a great idea to make a functional phone without camera and other unnesecery things. I wish it had wlan.I love the p900 series, but I can't afford. so this is good enough replacement.

  • How is about bluetooth version? it is 2.0 like m600i, isn't it?

  • I DO not understand y se staff cannot put cam,fm ,other details in the phone.looks like their cash will b used by people 2 buy mobiles

  • well the best phone,se has produced till date

  • Hi to All & SE, No 3G/EDGE is okay. But no Wi-Fi in this updated model to M600i do not understand. I'd like to buy it. Is it available in PK market?

  • useless piece of trash. It is the worst microwave i have ever used and it tastes awful aswell. The lack of a camera made me kill myself and it doesnt even have a razor blade built in when u lose the will 2 live because of its crappiness.

  • even though sony squeezed many funtions into this pretty stuff, I have to say this is crap. I used this for about a week and got refund. it's like first version of window98. every time I use a pdf viewer or office stuff it crashes like window. no.. its even worse. when it happens you can't turn it off, you have to dettach battery from it. never work with big? size file. if you wanna open bigger than 3-4mg file, forget it! so annoying. sybian is crap I'd rather set side some more money and buy a proper pda. one thing, the sensitivity of the touch screen is pretty good.

  • give me the sweet sony 3.2 camera with carl zeiss lens in this thing and im sold. i will never carry a cell phone AND a camera in my pockets, ever. makes no sense, and it makes no sense why people like me who understand this, cant get a qwerty keyboard smart phone with a descent camera in it.

  • cool phone. no cam but no prob. buy a cam if u dont hav 1..

  • ...you dont need camera in this phone......it's already perfect !!! ...you can have camera in oder kind of phone..... beautiful phone....im buying today :DDDDD

  • no cam. and no fm redio....no use

  • Whats the 3g for when the phone dont have a camera ????

  • i congratulate sonyericson for producing such kind of phone. i ll also like ur conpany to make more of the M series that is about to come, should also come with camera and vedio. e.t.c 3G FEATURES. REGARD FRO CJ

  • Good Phone the black color is good NIce phone to get

  • Having no camera is no problme at all. This phone can easily beat the Communicator and it is an Internet phone not a camera. The only problem is that it has no Wireless network support. Too bad...

  • gprs only? wtf?

  • This is EXACTLY what I need - a good phone. I already have a camera and an ipod. Why should I unnecessarily pay again for things I don't need.

  • Hi everbdy! Design, box, color very good!undestood about camera! but how about even could paste FM radio!

  • nice phone , but no camera ? why!!! from bangladesh

  • Well, the camera is optional for me. I mean when i got my first nokia 6600 it was fun snapping all of them pictures. But after awhile, you begin to not use it anymore. whats more, this phone is primarily a multimedia and internet phone. if you want a camera that bad go get the cybershot phone. different models for different purposes

  • put a camera and u have a winner

  • this piece of machine got all the stuffs i needed,but NO CAMERA!!!!:but why

  • @Dann SE makes M600/608 and W950 for people who don't need camera or people who work in the company that they maynot use cameraphone in the building. M600/608 for business people especially for masief email users while W950 for business people who are musicmania. If you do need smartphone with camera than you may choose P990i.

  • whats the point of having photo call, photo album and mms if you don have a camera. does anyone know why SE don not include camera in their M-series or their latest w950?

  • what???? still no camera? why why?

  • need to know more

  • I ever read someone from Singapore said that he cannot use chinese for handwriting recognition. Is that also happened to other users?

  • I have the M600i and to the person who doesn't like the keyboard, I too was of the same opinion until I started to use it. It took a few days to get used to it, but I can now type very quickly with it. The predictive text is excellent and seems to predict what I want to say most of the time. The more you use it, the better it gets. You can still use the onscreen handwriting recognition, but I personally find the keyboard much quicker now.

  • the doff between the m600 and m608 is the networks (gsm) that they cover,

  • M600 has 3G capability. M608 has none. Don ask me why if 3G, why no camera? Please refer to past comments...

  • its what i hv been praying for but disappointed without radio or camera. pls se include these features or radio at least. thanks.

  • Can someone tell me the difference between M600 and M608

  • This phone seems really amazing, starting from its design, features to performance is really great, my sister's friend is planning to buy her own as soon as this phone is out of the market. i wish i can have my own m608

  • QWERTY keyboard will mix me up with SMS, if it was a regular phone keyboard it would be much better! The phone seems amazing

  • soft

  • the mobile phone is amazing the shape the memory everything is perfect

  • Anyone know do they come with Push mail function on this phone?? Why they dont come with camera??

  • Is this only meant for China market.Cos I dont need 3G might as well get this one.What are the other diff?

  • Why is everyone here comlaining about the features they miss, then just dont buy it...

  • the camera is in p990. this device is for buisness and style. it's smaller than p990, more styled (my oppinion). if you want full power, with an 2mpx camera in wifi go 4 p990

  • The twin brother of m600 for hot China market with no 3G feature.

  • I'm sorry for my opinion because I did not read the top box which said m608c for chinese market!!lol

  • what the hell is it matter with se???? this one not only is not improved, also is worse than m600i!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It has great and big display and its wrily good.But where is the camera?
