Sony Ericsson T608 On Hold For Three Weeks
Today marks the third week that Sprint has been calling the T608 “on hold” while they “evaluate all options”.
A Tale of Two Manuals
Sprint PCS commonly releases two manuals in order to cut costs, and the T608 is no different. The first manual is referred to as a “start here” guide, which is included with the phone. It provides basic Sprint information as well as gets you started with powering on your phone, learning the basics, etc. The […]
Sony Ericsson T608 SKUed
Update: That is the SKU for Radio Shack. This is very good news, as it supports the belief that the phone will ship to retail stores. Thanks to some deciphering by nycphog @ SprintUsers, the T608’s SKU has been determined. It is: 17-2570 While that SKU may have been created before the phone was put […]

Verizon Questioned on Sony Ericsson T606

Unlike Sprint, they have made no press release stating that they would be selling the phone, despite that fact that Verizon is the largest of the three […]
