yeah mate..i recently bought an 810i, the better features of 610i r tht it has better audio quality (walkman 2.0 player), a2dp n is slimmer than its 810i counterpart. on the cons side, i hated its keypad frm the moment i laid my eyes on it.. its almost impossible to type sms with those w880 type thin keys.. camera is better in 810i.. so basically, 610i is just a slimmer software upgrade of 810i..dont think its worth shellin out 2k more.. wait for a month or 2.. the prices shd drop by 1-2k.. go for it then
