The Sony Ericsson T610 is a mobile phone by Sony Ericsson, announced in March 2003. It was one of the first widely available mobile phones to include a built-in digital camera, Bluetooth, and a color screen, and features a joystick navigation. A much touted feature was QuickShare, the ability to easily share pictures taken with its camera.[1] The Sony Ericsson T610's design was inspired by mid-century Scandinavian style and was considered appealing and sleek.[2] The T610 became a very high selling model and is cited to have been Sony Ericsson's breakthrough product.[3] The T630 was a later variant.

T610 in Volcanic Red and Aluminium Haze

The retro-style design of the phone was created by Swedish industrial designer Erik Ahlgren, and garnered appreciation in magazines, at expositions, and among buyers. The subtle curves of the body were divided vertically with thin metal or aluminum halves, which were colored. Its exterior is shiny black. The Sony Ericsson T610 was awarded 'Best Mobile Handset' at the 2004 3GSM congress.[4][5]

The T610 was available in three distinct colors: Aluminium Haze, Abyss Blue, and Volcanic Red. The keypad remained silver regardless of body color variation. Many customers of Sony Ericsson in the United Kingdom complained to providers about being unable to obtain the phone in any color other than Aluminium Haze, and to date it is still the most widely sold variant of the phone.
