WTS: Sony Ericsson K608i

The Sony Ericsson K608i. One of the early 3G phones, it sports a 1.3 MP camera with flash (with video capture) and 256K colors screen. The back of the phone was designed to look and feel like you're holding a camera. The secondary camera located above the screen is for live 3G video calls. Ringtone formats supported are: polyphonic, MP3 and AAC. The K608i also supports Java content (MIDP 2.0), so you can download compatible games and applications either to the phone directly, or on a PC and then sync to the phone via the USB cable.

Bought with Singtel around '05 or '06, the condition is generally good but has some flaws. The issues are: a few very light hairline scratches (but not on the screen), directional joystick isn't as responsive about 5-10% of the time, slight paint peel on one edge of the joystick (hardly noticeable), and a small area on the camera lens cover that shows some frictional wear (see top left pic in photo). However, all other buttons are responsive, the screen looks great, and the battery shows no signs of bloat.

Battery life varies quite significantly depending on the use of 2G or 3G network. 1 to 2 days on a full charge is possible if using 2G only, but expect this to drop to 1 day or less on 3G network. You can select your preferred option under phone settings. There is a small purple flower sticker at the back which can be removed.

Comes in the standard box set without the earpiece, for hygiene reasons. Works decent as a spare phone, and good for making 3G video calls that cost the same as a normal mobile phone call (if you don't have ready access or a steady connection to Skype).

**SOLD**: Sony Ericsson K330

SOLD!!!

The Sony Ericsson K330 is a small, thin and lightweight basic mobile phone equipped with a VGA camera and 65K colors screen. Features include loudspeaker for calls, video capture (although with terrible quality) and FM radio.

Bought around '09, so the K330 is relatively young. This was also my mom's phone - same mostly-standby-mode-pouch-protected situation - and therefore in pristine condition with no visible scratches or dings. Screen and buttons function well, and battery life is good, with about 3 days' worth of juice from a single full charge. However, the phone suffers from a common problem of Sony Ericsson phones (before USB charging was available): a slightly loose connector of the charging cable when plugged into the phone's charging port. As long as the phone isn't shifted during charging, it won't be disconnected abruptly.

Comes in the full box set with earpiece. Good as a spare phone.

**SOLD**: Sony Ericsson T230

SOLD!!!

Purchased with Singtel (Hello! shop) in '04, the Sony Ericsson T230 is a lightweight non-camera phone with a 4096-color LCD screen. Comes with everything in the box set, except the earpiece (for hygiene reasons).

The phone housing has many small dings and scratches, but do not affect the phone's functions. The unit works well - screen still looks great and bright, and all buttons are perfectly responsive. WAP can be used to download your own customised wallpapers (e.g. draw with MS Paint, upload to server of your choice, and d/l to phone). I'd used this as a back-up phone when overseas, until about 2 years ago, when I bought the Alcatel dual-SIM phone. Besides being a great 2nd phone, it's also a good fuss-free phone for first-time mobile users.
