Sony Ericsson's K618i is a 3G buzz absolute to bounded abettor M1. Only accessible in black, the K618i won't win any appearance awards, admitting we wouldn't alarm it an animal duckling either. We anticipate it's a clean, accessible to use handset that will address to a ample ambit of users.
Design
Weighing in at 91g, the K618i aloof scrapes in beneath the K610i's weight. It's a analytic compact, pocket-friendly handset, too, with ambit of 102 by 46 by 17 mm.
The K618i looks a lot like the K610i. The size, blueprint and all-embracing attending of the buzz mirrors its sibling, with the black-and-charcoal accomplishment appropriate it from the K610i's white, argent and red casing.
The buzz sports a bright, 176x220-pixel awning that supports up to 262K colors. It sits aloft the card buttons which afterglow orange aback pressed. The side-mounted aggregate rocker and music button as able-bodied as rear apostle are absolute in orange.
Features
The K618i has affluence of features, admitting best are appealing accepted in any 3G buzz today.
A congenital 2-megapixel camera can be accessed via the side-mounted camera button which flips the awning on its ancillary for a mural view, to booty photos. The panorama action is a acceptable addition, acceptance you to absorb three photos taken side-by-side into one across-the-board photo. Photos can be beatific via MMS, Bluetooth or, alternatively, the included adaptable blogger appliance allows you to upload photos to a Blogger.com account.

Sony Ericsson K618i - Aback and Camera
Performance
The camera does a reasonable job aback able ablaze is available. Photos taken in ablaze lighting altitude looked fine, but account affection suffered in low light, consistent in chapped photos. Surprisingly no flash--LED or otherwise--is provided. A Xenon beam like the K800i would accept been acceptable addition.
Sound affection was appropriate during calls, but was a bit adamantine to apprehend in loud places, alike at best volume. The onboard loudspeaker comes in accessible during times aback you charge your easily chargeless (or aback arena music) though, as expected, it sounds a bit soft.
On a few occasions, affiliation errors were accomplished aback aggravating to accomplish an approachable call. Somehow, the handset gets the consequence we were captivation bottomward a button and recommends a software restart to fix the problem.
Our buzz came with a acceptable 256MB Sony Anamnesis Stick Micro (M2) which, according to Sony Ericsson, can authority up to 230 songs. However, it should realistically fit about 60-70 accepted 4MB MP3 files, which is acceptable abundant for us. Music admirers who appetite to abundance added songs on the buzz can acquirement a beyond anamnesis capacity. We begin the arranged stereo angle able and able for music playback and authoritative calls.
The card formed able-bodied and was appealing intuitive. It was acknowledging and wasn't apathetic like some antecedent Sony Ericsson handsets.
The K618i doesn't accept any accurate appearance that stands out. At S$598 (without contract), it's a accepted all-round buzz that should clothing the needs of best users.
