Um.... Sony Ericsson T616 isn't a Symbian OS based phone.
And it is pretty much impossible to write an ssh client for it simply because of the crappy Sony Ericsson J2ME implementation. Sony Ericsson has chosen not to implement sockets so j2me "internet" apps must utilize wap push mechanisms in order to send/receive data.
If you want a phone that supports sockets look for a phone with a phone that has MIDP 2.0 implemented. I'm pretty sure that sockets is a requirement in MIDP 2 and optional in MIDP 1.

Also, portable configuration files in PuTTY would be a real blessing. One of the best parts of PuTTY is you can easily fit it on the tiny portable media of your choice and use it anywhere. Unfortunately it uses the registry to store its settings, sessions, etc and it would be nice if I didn't have to write to the registry of every machine I ever used it on. It would be nice to just carry a config file with all my sessions along with my PuTTY executable.
