It was one of the first widely available mobile phones to include a built-in digital camera, Bluetooth, color screen, joystick navigation, and was a very high selling model.

The T610 is available in three distinct colors: Aluminium Haze, Abyss Blue, and Volcanic Red.

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.

The subtle curves of the body were divided vertically with thin metal or aluminum halves, which were colored.

It includes 2.5G technologies, supporting GPRS (Class 8) and HSCSD connections with Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) 2.0 capability.
