The good: Beautiful smart phone, with a slim silhouette, a large and bright QVGA touch screen; great design features such as a jog dial and a dual-function thumb keyboard; pleased with the multimedia functionality, integrated Bluetooth, speakerphone, sound quality, and the performance of the browser and RSS reader.

The bad: Lacks Wi-Fi, a camera, and quad-band support; phone crashed once in a while; no quick way to shut down applications.

The bottom line: The Sony Ericsson M600i is a great little smart phone that's big on style and features. Even though we wish it had a few extra functions and better performance, we still think this is an excellent smart phone for those who want a stylish smart phone in a small package.

Sophisticated and sexy.

Feb 22, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Stylish, customizable shortcuts, lightweight, large bright screen, keypad design
Cons: No camera and wi-fi. But I don't really care.
Opinion:
I already own a P990i but its bulk really bothers me, especially when I stuff it in my jeans pocket. So I recently bought an M600i for S$145 and I'm really loving it.

It's so easy to use, the size is perfect and it's just oozing with style. I thought I'd have a hard time with the dual-rocker keypad but I was breezing through typing text messages in no time at all!

I love the M600i. It's unfortunate that Sony Ericsson seems to have abandoned the M series because this is really a promising phone.

It'll be a while before I use my P990i again, which is now tucked away inside its box.

 

One Sexy Smartphone

Jan 3, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: 3G, Stylish, Semi-Qwerty, Large Screen, Affordable, Smartphone
Cons: No Camera, No Wifi
Opinion:
Absolutely love this phone. Bought the White one 6 months ago and still holding it despite of lots of other smartphones being released; simply cause none can beat the price/quality/beauty ratio. It is sold in Jakarta for Rp 1,6 mio (approx US$ 170)
Other smartphones may have more features but the price are much more expensive..
I use it often for browsing the internet (using the phone or using it as a modem to a PC) using the 3G network and it works like a breeze.
One suggestion though, make sure you have the latest firmware. And it will not disapoint you.

 

Great Features with mediocre support

Nov 26, 2007

Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: Gd application and feature
Cons: it HANG!!!!! Full of BUG.
Opinion:
Sony Ericsson is not putting effort in their post sale service. M600 is very buggy. It 'hangs' very often. There are lag during switching of applications. Alarm is soft. FULL OF BUGS!!!!!
