The Sony Ericsson M600i is a 3G phone with tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900), expandable memory (using Memory Stick Micro cards), plus a full range of applications including web browser Opera, a mail client, and multimedia player. Over the M600i comes with a jog-dial control in addition to the touch screen, as does the largest P900 series.

One might think that this would be a big, heavy phone. After all, we recently studied the BenQ P50, which offers many features similar and weighs 170 grams. So it’s a bit of a surprise to see that the Sony Ericsson M600i weighs only 112 grams. This would be good for all goes 3G phone, never mind a feature rich device like this

Implementation of the interface UIQ 3 on the top of the Symbian operating system 9.1, the M600i is functionally very similar to the Sony Ericsson P990i. The large 2.6 “display on the M600i is touch and has a resolution of 240×320 pixels. Underneath that is a hybrid keyboard similar to that found on the BlackBerry 7100 series.

It supports a variety of messaging applications grow too, as BlackBerry and Visto, and it comes with a range of VPN clients to connect to a corporate network. It can also modify the Microsoft Office document. These features give us an indication as to the most likely reason for the market M600i - professional users. One of the main features that the M600i does not have a digital camera is - it can not take stills photos, video clips, nor can it be used for video calling. This is great for many corporate customers, but it means that the M600i is not as consumer-oriented as some might have hoped. Yet, it looks like a very promising phone for business use. There is no WiFi, but we firmly believe that 3G is more useful than WiFi in this type of device.

Finally, the M600i looks the part too. This is a classic Sony Ericsson, back to the T630i (which we regard as one of the most beautiful ever made phones). It is also relatively thin, 15mm thick.

The Sony Ericsson M600i should begin shipping worldwide in Q2 2006, with different keyboard arrangements for those countries that do not use a “QWERTY” layout. There is also a M600i for mainland China.

There’s Bluetooth (of course), but here the Sony Ericsson M600i supports Bluetooth stereo for playing music. The 80Mb of internal memory is sufficient for a large number of pieces of music, and of course, there are Java games and a range of Symbian applications available for this platform.

It’s been an open secret that Sony Ericsson had a slight coming UIQ smartphone and Sony Ericsson M600i is it

When it comes to battery life, however, it is clear that the 3G support drains the battery quickly enough. On UMTS (3G) period is only 2.5 hours, with 10 days standby. Disable 3G and use the old GSM and it is a huge period of 7.5 hours and 14 days of standby.
