Michael,
The pictures and write-up of your recent visit to Sony-Ericsson's facility in North Carolina were really interesting; I can't wait to see what else you have.
It's very cool to get this sort of inside perspective about how phones are prepped for the market.
I'm curious:
1. Are the tests performed by SE typical of what most companies would do, or does SE really go above and beyond?
2. Did they purposely invite you to check out their facilities so that you would reserve harsh judgement if their phones showed problems? (It seems that they keep an eye on this site; I gather they certainly were aware of your dissatisfaction with the T610's reception).
3. Not sure if it would have been appropriate to ask or not (and judging by the performance of their more recent phones, it's not so much of an issue anymore), but if they do so much testing, how did the T610's relatively crappy RF performance slip through unnoticed?
(I'm personally using a T610 now in China, where there is pretty good 900/1800 network coverage - I haven't found reception to be an issue; even when compared with my old (but now dead) t68i).
