The only thing I like about the T616 is the bluetooth, and when I bought it
3 months ago, choice was limited among BT cell phones.  

Although this phone is quite functional, it comes at the unnecessary
sacrifice of useability.   Menu navigation, in particular, is an area
with plenty of room for improvement.  Here are my beefs:

-The "calls" list isn't accurately chronological, and doesn't allow 
 me to find out the exact time of a call.   

-The joystick should be used more for for navigating menus - Right=execute, left=back.

-Why four buttons?  2 would have done, accompanied by the JS for navigation.
 Their roles are inconsistent, and seem to change from menu to menu.
 Really, they should just keep one to be consistently "execute" and the other
 to be consistently "back/cancel".  

-Stupid physical interface on the bottom - Plugs only go in one way, and
 take special attention to get them in.   Not easily done on the fly.  

-Overzealous pressing of "Endcall " mutes the fone, but one press isn't
 always enough - Making the act of "hanging up" require unnecessary
 attention on my part.

-Screen not viewable outside.

-Anykey endcall ends up with a lot of accidentally killed calls.


Conclusion:  I *HAD* to have a BT phone, but am otherwise disappoined in this
model.  If you're thinking about buying it, wait.   I'm sure something better 
is just on the horizon.
