That's what it says at:

I like the higher resolution 320 x 320 screen.

The Treo 600 is stuck at 160 x 160 resolution for its screen.

All depends on how testing goes. If it goes well, it may be sooner,
if it doesn't, it may be never.

Look at how much the Sony Ericcson T-608 was delayed due to testing,
many of the handsets on PhoneScoop never saw the light of day due to
unacceptable test results.

And apparently the T608 shouldnt have seen the light of day.

It is a problematic phone as documented at:

http://www.sprintpcsinfo.com

It appears that a large amount of SonyEricsson T608s may be defective.
Running the Real Time Clock service test (Dial ##786 > Menu Key > Add
Number > Menu Softkey > Service Screen > Service Tests > Real Time
Clock) shows that the T608 fails... a lot. Multiple T608s tested have
shown the test to fail from anywhere between 10% to 66% of the time.
What makes this even more distressing is that no other working
SonyEricsson phone that has this test fails it... ever. If you have a
T608, run this test 10 times and post your results. If anything, showing
a built-in diagnostic fail to a Sprint Store tech is an easy way to get
your T608 replaced.
The Real Time Clock test is designed to test the ability of the phone to
keep track of time itself. This is especially crucial on CDMA networks,
as the phone needs to stay in sync with network time in order to
function properly.
