What reviewers say

Pocket Gamer and CHIP praised the T610's colour display, controls and multimedia features. CHIP also liked its aluminium construction and broad connectivity. Pocket Gamer found the joystick precise for games, but its later review noted that the phone could no longer run the newest titles.
