New Phone - Sony Ericsson k610i.

I've finally got round to getting a new phone after waiting god known how long for the Nokia N92 to put in an appearance. The TV-sporting beastie doesn't appear to be arriving on UK shores any time soon so I've plumped for a Sony Ericsson k610i instead.

Initial feelings are mixed. It's thinner and lighter than my k750i and only 5mm longer - all good stuff for a 3G phone. In fact it feels positively svelte.

The menus have been reorganised, however, and that prevents me from simple picking up and using the k610i without reading the manual. The good - great thing about Nokias is that they all follow the same kind of menu layout (at least until you get to the Smartphones) and you can adapt to a new handset with ease.

The other thing about the phone is that MobileShop have sent me a white one. White. it looks like an iPod which, while it isn't ideal, is slowly growing on me nonetheless. It's smooth plastic as well which is... interesting.

That's all the review you get for now, however, since Three still haven't connected me despite me receiving the handset on Friday. I've been on to MobileShop and they're chasing Three but at the time of writing, I can't actually use the phone. Bah.
