The Sony Ericsson V600i is exclusive to Vodafone.
It's a high-end 3G phone that looks like a 2G phone, weighing just
102g!
The V600i has some great features - video calling,
a music player with FM radio, a 1.3 megapixel camera and video camera,
a very high quality screen, Bluetooth and a multitasking capability.
It performs well in these areas, but is sadly let down by poor ringtone
volume (leading to missed calls) and poor voice quality as a result
of the speaker being placed in an unusual position. These are significant
downsides.
The V600i is very similar to the K600i
and K608i, except that the
V600i has a better keypad than the others. However, all three phones
share the same audio problems.
Features of the Sony Ericsson V600i include:
3G mobile services - video calling, video streaming,
music downloads and fast internet
1.3 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom, photo
light and photo editor

Great when it works. If you are lucky enough to hear the ringtone
(even using MP3 recording) the phone often turns itself off or disconnects
from signal. Happens at least 10 times a day. Been back twice for
'software faults' still does not work. I'm just glad this was a
freeby because I would have been gutted paying for it! The way the
camera activates with an easily opening slide cover is really annoying. Rating:

I'm a firm believer that you get what you pay for. I paid £90 for
the V600i and it was worth every penny. The features are great.
Does have a slightly fiddly keypad though, but at the price it deserves
5 stars. People who have a bad opinion of this phone.. spend more
money!!! Rating:

Don't know if it's just a defect on my unit, but the calendar doesn't
work as it should. Adding birthdays through Contacts sets the birthdays
in Calendar to 1. Jan. 1970 recurring regardless of their proper
date. Battery standby time doesn't seem as good as expected. Adding
contact details from phone book while writing text message doesn't
seem possible. Rating:

Got this phone Nov 05. Had lots of Sony Ericsson phones and have
always been please. This phone has some cool toys on it. Can connect
it via USB to your pc to copy games photo's and ringtones to it
easily. Camera is quite good, I like the Panorama mode which tikes
3 photo's and joins them together. The toys work well. I'm a big
believer in primary function working really well. That is the point
this phone fails. The volume of both the phone and ringtones are
not good at all. It improves if I turn on the external speaker but
that's of no use when you are trying to have a private conversation.
I've never got the auto voice dialing to work via my bluetooth headset
and the phone disconnects my headset while I'm trying to dial someone.
Worst of all it keeps dropping the network and have to either manually
get the phone to search for the network again or turn the phone
off and back on again. Who built this Microsoft! It does this between
5-10 times a day! It's not just my phone. My wife has the same phone
and hers does exactly the same! As soon as I get time it's off back
to the vodafone shop. Rating:

Very nice phone, lovely design and shiny black finish. Battery life
is good for a 3G phone, memory is a bit limited but here's a tip
- if you have the latest copy of i-tunes (available free from the
Apple website) you can use the MP3 encoder to downsize your MP3s
to a lower bitrate. All you do is go into the preferences and click
on "advanced" and then "importing" and then use the custom option
to select a low bitrate. You then go back to the library and select
the songs you want downsized and click on "convert to mp3". I'd
recommend about 56Kbps, it results in songs being about 1.8Mbs each.
And there's not as much loss in sound quality as you may expect.
By doing this you can fit about 15 songs onto the phone, and still
have space for about 20 photos. Onto other bits, the menus are very
nicely presented, the earphones have very nice sound quality, the
speaker volume isn't that bad, just average I'd say, the camera
too is average, but pictures look better when you down load them
to a computer. Bluetooth is very fast, better than my old Motorola,
and there's a USB cord provided along with software. All in all
very good, only complaint is lack of card slot and limited memory.
But for only £80 its a splendid deal, go buy!! Rating:

so first the site is great and the phone, too. i´ve to say
that it´s one of the best you can buy. you only have to take
a look on the functions(god helps me). okay some people say the
memory is too small, but i think if you relarge the songs you have
enough music on your phone. i´ve got a program you can konvert
the songs with and am i looking at the size, i just see that they
are smaller then 600KB. so now take a result of 37000/600=? yes,
it´s 61,6666 so you are having more than 61 songs on the phone
and that´s enough on my site. it´s just agreat phone.

Had this phone for only a few hours before I took it back to Vodafone.
I had the upgrade option of this phone free or £50 credit added
to my tariff … in my mind it just was not worth the £50! The
standard tones are far too quiet (and of poor choice). ‘Tried
downloading a couple of alternatives that were not much better.
The alarm is way too quiet to be effective. Navigation between menus
is laggy. No facility to see how the memory is being apportioned
between music, text, photos etc. Pointless having a MP3 player and
1.3MP camera with on 32MB of memory and no expansion card slot!
Camera and video call on the side of the ‘brick’ far
too easy to activate accidentally. On the positives … err
.. I suppose the radio is easy to use and provides a decent sound
through the stereo headphones supplied (but how many of us want
a radio in a phone?). In summary, don’t, under any circumstances,
buy this phone … I really don’t know how SE have the
nerve to bring this phone onto the market. By the way … I
assure you that I am not associated with the phone industry or work
for any of the competition. Rating:

I gave this phone three stars as overall as a phone it is quite

good thing about a phone in one go, it is either superb technology
but looks horrible, or it looks stylish but is a bit rubbishy. Surely
it can't be that difficult to just combine the two!! Rating:

Just got this phone yesterday, was going to get the Motorola E770...
but when I saw this one thought it is a lot less bulkier and has
a few more features. No problems so far with it, except it would
of been nice to have a utility to see how much memory is free on
it... as that is not available on the phone or the file manager
software Sony Ericsson provide. I haven't had any issues with the
sound my self though, but that could due to my ringtone being a
MP3 rather than the standard ones. Shame I did not get the 30 day
free trial of the Vodafone TV service as I am under 18. Anyway this
phone is the best I have had, a lot longer battery life than my
horrible Nokia N-gage (Battery lasted probably for two hours if
not less). Rating:

Its been just over a week since I got my phone. The Phone is definetly
the best for its price which is £90 on the internet, sites such
as The Link, Dixons or Vodafone itself. I have been reading these
reviews before I bought my phone and I have made a list of con's
& pro's. Firstly the con's:I agree that the battery life is poor
and will last only a day or two but my battery life does seem to
be improving with time and of course you gotta let it charge for
atleast 12 hours first time which should have been included in the
manual. The memory is a disappointment as it is limited but if you
know how to compress mp3 files to less than a third of the size
without losing any noticable quality, you'll be able to store as
much as 1&1/2 cds worth (which is enough for me as I store the rest
on my PC), this can be done with programs such as Media Blaze Pro
that can be downloaded from the internet. Most people complained
about the volume... well its not loud loud but it is standard so
you can't really complain.The camera quality is rather poor, it
can be improved on its settings to get rid of the blue specks, works
better in day light. Ok, now the pro's: The mp3 player is great,
games and themes are easy to downloaded. The software that comes
with it is easy to use and set up. The video conferance is good
and clear. Phone is easy to use as I didn't use manual at all, but
it does take an hour or two to get used to. Its got all the extras....
world time, calculater, calender, stopwatch, timer and even a small
torch. The extra video camera functions are great fun such as black
n white, negative etc. The camera frames are good for a laugh. The
looks of the phone are nice although it is not small it is average
in size. Radio is crystal clear even though its annoying having
to plug in the ear peice each time. The TV is excellent and really
watchable which I hadn't expected, its what really puts this phone
over the top and knocks out competition from other phones such as
the Nokia 6230i. The video and media dj I still need to play around
with, but seem like great extras. All in all great phone, I wanted
to rate it 4.5 out of 5 due to the cons but I have rounded it up
to 5 as a lot of silly people have rated it too low! I hope u have
found it helpful reading my review, plz let me know, my e-mail address

Nice feature set, nice packaging, 3G, yadda yadda... but all a waste
of time because the processor is not up to it. Laggy! Apparently
I txt too fast for this phone (I am a 2 thumb txter, but I'm not
'teenager quick'). Multiple presses typically have a 70% success
rate meaning that I often fall a letter short on 3 or 4 click entries
in classic txt mode. Predictive is even worse because it misses
whole letters of the word which means that the words come out as
complete nonsense (eg "or" usually comes out as "s"). This is a
processor issue rather than a keying issue. Same thing happens with
that nasty little joystick - it just doesn't respond reliably when
the phone is 'thinking'. But the worst problem is when it has a
popup up that is about to time-out and disappear: if you press quit/okay
within about a second before it disapears (that is, between when
the processor decides it is exiting, and when it actually does),
the keypress is stored and performed after the popup d isappears.
Oh dear, you have now activated whatever soft-function was underneath,
and oh dear oh dear if it is something bad. That is not acceptable.

I have always been a nokia fan and only got this phone because vodafone

i was planning on giving it back because you should be able to hear
phone calls even on a free phone. However all the problems i originally
found with the phone including the poor sound quality and low ring
tones are just are result of the settings the phone comes with.
FIRST THING TO DO WHEN YOU GET THIS PHONE IS TAKE THE PLASTIC SCREEN
COVER OFF. I was quite embarrassed when i found this was the reason
for the poor voice quality of callers. To fix the ringtone turn
"increasing ring" off in profiles and just put ur favourite mp3
as a ringtone. Plug the headphones in and turn the volume up in
the radio. This should fix ringtone and voice calls. I'm still getting

Okay. Just bought this phone from Vodafone. Got free Sky Tv till
31st Jan. So all's cool! paid effectively only 100 pounds for it
as 30 pounds is a top up which i just sold to my friend. Anyway,
review of phone. First of all, the ring tone is NOT soft. Maybe
it's new software or i really got a better batch of phone. It's
even considered loud enough for the next dorm room to hear my live
Sky Sports Stream when i have the phone speaker side pressed on
the table. This is on maximum volume of course. Having the phone
up normally in my pocket and its too loud. As one guy said, it's
embarassingly loud. Louder than my previous Nokia 6610 and samsung
c100. Call quality is good. People calling in has been loud and
clear.Too loud in fact. you can set it to 3g and gsm or gsm only.
Left it at 3g and gsm for now. No real problems with the reception,
loudness or battery life. Battery life hasn't really been tested
but as my phone came fully charged by the nice vodafone people,
its been very good so far. Been streaming videos like mad (over
half hour already) and only 1 bar dropped so far. Camera quality
is so-so. Even though i havent owned a camera phone before but i
have seen other phones to better effect - D600, D500, SE K750. Anyway,
no real problems as this is after all a 100 pound phone. Have to
say that the keys are VERY nice to press. Don't like the SMS system
though as it requires you to use the joystick more than usual. The
joystick moves fine and has no real problem getting to the menu
which u want. Pressing the joystick down to select sometimes doesnt
hit though. Possibly due to my inexpereince in SE phones.Also it's
quite laggy. Which brings me to my next part. The system is LAAAAAGGGGGGYYYYY.
When u switch from menu to menu it's laggy. It takes on average
of 2 seconds to go from menu to menu. This is bad i have to say.
I say this is my biggest gripe as it is quite significant. Could
possibly be Vodafone's system but i'm not sure. Anyway, reviwing
the phone based on what i have. Physically, the phone is very sleek.
It's as long as my C100 when put next to each other but slightly
thicker. All in all.For 100 pounds, u get a 3g phone, which is sleek,
battery life is good (so far), keypad which is nice to press, and
loud speakers which can be semi-blasted to the next few tables in
a restaurant when u're streaming the latest football clip. Only
real gripe is the lagginess. Can't say i will complain abt the camera
and the lack of memory though as that doesnt really bother me. Rating:

I've had my v600i about a month now, and was also very disappointed
with the very low ringtones, but there is no problem with people
hearing me. So, as I'm too lazy to send the phone back, I decided
to find a way around this problem, initially by selecting the loudest
ringtone available on the phone (even though I didn't like the song),
but now I've finally settled on a better solution - installing the
software that came with the phone! Once you've done this, using
the usb cable you can drag and drop your own songs from your music
library to your phone. This is free and cuts out the cost of downloading
a ringtone and gives you more choice. I've chosen a song that sounds
loud - Job's a good 'un. Rating:

I had a tough decision on buying the right phone, but at the end
went for the V600i. I have been a Nokia user all my life, and im
glad i made the switch, because this phone rocks. It has so many
great features, and is really up-to-date as far as technology goes.
The 3G is creat. The phone volume has also not been a problem for
me. And the menus and everything is just great. I will recommend
this phone to anyone that is looking for a all-in-one business phone,
with lots of features......and offcourse the 3G. Im Satisfied! Rating:

In so many ways i am happy with this phone. It has heaps of features
and they are really good. However, i have the same problem as someone
else mentioned - a few days after i bought it, it started turning
itself off. So i go down to the vodafone store and they replaced
it for me. I got the replacement phone and within a few days i find
it occasionally turning itself off. Its very annoying and unsettling.
Its especially annoying because when its on, it works great and
its great to use, but it has a tendancy to turn itself off. Anyone
else out there have the same problem?!?!?! Rating:

I have now had this phone for just under a week, and I love it.
This is an upgrade from my T610 and the things it can do are amazing.
Watch telly on your phone (free until the end of Jan 2006), download
songs from the PC (as long as they are mp3s), games, the lot. It's
certainly true that the ringer and handset volume are not as loud
as the T610, but so far this hasn't been a problem; I tend to use
a Bluetooth headset anyway, which is fine. Battery life is very
good (I haven't had to recharge it so far); and to be able to see
the battery level (in %) at the push of a button is great too. The
design is sleek and elegant, and If you don't need to use the phone
in very noisy environments, then this is definitely a great choice.

calender in de phone is very handy, although I use PalmOne as my

The issue of alledged poor volume is down to realising that there
are several functions on the set which can increase the volume to
good levels, and knowing what to do with a set where the speaker
has been put into the back. All that is needed to deal with the
speaker in the back problem is (a) when putting the phone down lie
it down on its front and (b) when going out and putting in pocket
place phone about face to usual, this prevents the muffling of the
speaker. Regarding volume, there are several ways to increase it,
there are buttons on the side of the fone which increase the volume,
which are usually turned down on delivery, and it is using the Radio
function which is the key. I.e. by turning on the radio you can
increase the speaker volume to very high indeed. The only problem
is, if you want to listen to the radio you have to turn it down
because it is too loud to listen to through the headfones, and then
you have to remember to turn it back up again when you exit radio
and go back to normal phone. Designers definitely slipped up here,
but can be overcome. Oh yes, and you cant use the radio without
plugging in the phones so when exiting radio you have to pull out
the phones or you wont hear much volume on the phone set. A bit
of a potch, but a great phone aside from that. Taking pictures with
phones has never been a great idea, I still use a 35mm SLR slide
film camera, top quality, for a bit more effort. Get a scanner and
Bob's your Uncle. Also, as the headfones for the radio also provide
a hands free function for the fone, when I go out I keep it on hands
free all the time so do not miss any calls, excellent amplification
through the fones and can hear and speak very clearly and loudly.
If you are self conscious of course this may not do, in which case
this is not the phone for you. Rating:

I've just changed to this phone as I thought I would give something
else a try other than a Nokia. This phone is in a word excellent.
Not the best but still excellent. I did at first think that the
volume is a real problem, but I then realised what it was that made
the volume a problem and I'm sure it is what the other reviewers
did as well. When I used the phone for the first time, the protective
film on the screen actually covered the front top speaker, with
the film covering the speaker, the sound did indeed feel inadequate.
Once I relaised my stupid mistake, I removed the platsic film and
the phone's sound was as good as any. I believe this is the same
scenario experienced by other reviewers who thought the sound was
rubbish. The rest of the phone was very good as far as functionaility
is concerned. Buttons are just slight the worng shape for me but
may be right for others. The loud speaker is fine but when turned
to maximum, the speaker struggles just a little. Despite these faults,
I think it is still a 4 star phone. My very first phone was a Ericsson,
then I had 2 Nokias and now I'm back to Ericsson. Too close to call
between the two manuafacturers but I wouldn't get any other brands
except these two. Rating:

I have read a LOT of reviews on the SE V600i, lots of them being
very negative. But I decided to get the phone anyway. So let's clear
up some of the mysteries: 1. Ringtone Volume is NOT poor. Just remember
that the ringtone volume is dependent on the phone's volume and
a seperate setting for the specific ringtone 2. Hearing the other
person is NOT a problem. Seeing point 1. 3. Keys are NOT that small:
I was used to T610 and these keys are almost the same size even
though it is slightly more tightly spaced. 4. The top egde of the
phone near the speaker is a bit sharp, but if you don't PRESS it
against your ear, you will not hurt yourself. 5. Camera quality
is very adequate. If you want a really good camera and don't need
UMTS access - buy the new K750i, or wait for SE W900i 6. Remember
that as far as I can figure out - setting up the V600i with a PDA
for FAX send/receive is NOT possible. This modem seems to be different
to the T610's, which supports faxing. 7. Setting up this phone with
a PDA to access Internet is something that Vodafone techies know
very little about, but is entirely possible. Just make sure that
the GPRS dialling number on the the PDA is *99***[CIDnumber]# and
that the dialstring starts with a reset command. Mine is currently
set to z;+cgdcont=[CIDnumber],"IP","internet". Capital letter Z
without a semicolon apparently can also be used as reset command.
8. Yes, typing SMS is indeed a bit slower than what I was used to
in the T610, but after 5 days, I am used to it. 9. Battery life
seems to be much shorter than advertised, but I use quite a lot
of bluetooth, and phone a lot. Why only give 4 stars?: because of
difficulty in getting the connection with the PDA to work because
the V600i's provider (Vodafone) don't know the phones they sell!!
Also because I can't send and receive my faxes directly to my PDA.
I need to divert the fax calls to my mailbox. Otherwise a very nice
phone. So I will NOT be returning my phone like some idiots did
who didn't even bother to go through a little trouble to make things
work. Rating:

This phone is a little difficult to place. It has great pluses but
also significant minuses, depending on what kind of user you are
and what you're after. The Pluses: I found the menu system unique
at first but really easy to find your way around. There are some
really great ideas (such as an instantly accessible and comprehensive
calls list, minimizable media player, one-button agenda access for
the current day and for silent mode and so on) but nothing that's
really all that different from other phones. The best part is the
ease of use and the very clear screen. It's a nice size, really
light and sturdy, synchronizes VERY easily with Microsoft Outlook
with similarly easy-to-use software and is, in general, a smart
and good phone with a far better dictionary than my old Nokia used
to have. The camera is fine for most shots (it is after all still
only a phone) and has a good flash which can be turned on as a stand-alone
torch too - a great idea. Minuses: First and foremost, it is quiet.
Not for calls or music, but for ring volume. I am 22 with acutely
good hearing on one side, and I still don't hear it ring unless
I'm in a quiet environment. I have tried both the installed ringtones
and loud songs that I have put on the phone - to no avail. The sound
quality is great when it is audible, especially with the headphones,
but it simply does not go loud enough without. Apart from that,
the rest are relatively minor quibbles. The keys are sometimes not
very good at picking up multiple pushes when they are in quick succession
after each other, which can be a pain if you text fast, but is easily
remedied by taking a bit more care. The very prominent "Vodaphone
Live" and "Video call" buttons on either side of the screen are
perhaps a bit too easy to press by accident, but that hasn't happened
to me too often now that I am more used to the phone. Although the
calendar function is really clear and quite powerful, my main problem
is that it cannot edit recurring appointments from Outlook - which
is most of mine. It can therefore sometimes feel more like a calendar
note than an actual editable agenda. And the menus seem a little
less customizable than I would like. All in all, it's a smart, powerful
phone which is easy to use and does a whole lot, but perhaps not
quite enough. Symbolic of this is the lack of memory expandability:
for a phone which can play MP3s, it's a bit daft to only have enough
space for less than 10 - and then there's NO room for photos or
video. It seems like a bit of a Jack-of-all-trades, but really it's
only a Master of the basic functions. Everything else feels just
a tad compromised. It will do the trick, but it may take some effort
from your behalf to get used to it (and you'll have to keep it on
vibrate mode while you do). Rating:

Everything works perfectly, and if you are an expert in computers
you will enjoy it at the max. By adjusting the pictures and the
MP3s at the proper quality and file-size, for use in a mobile phone,
the on-board memory becomes more than enough for everything. 3G
behavior is top. Battery life, very good so far. With the use of
the Sony Ericsson DSS-25 Desk Synchronisation Stand(for 38 Euros),
you have everything at the plate. Sound quality top, body quality
top, display quality superb. Image quality, I did not had the time
to make extended tests, but looks above average for mobile, I will
soon post more details about it. Any way so far so good, I can say
that I got nothing than the best. Its not a phone for every one,
its mostly a useful mobile extension of your computer. For people
who are not that familiar with computers, they will appreciate the
phone less, as a descent cell phone and nothing more. The point

cos 32mb is simply not enough to use it as an mp3 player. The only
good is the radio which i never use anyway. I actually avoided getting
the new samsung Z500 cos i didnt want to pay more and thought this
was better value for money. Looks like i'm gonna be having a little
chat with vodafone customer service... Rating:

STRATE UP FONES LIVE, PROBABLY THE SLICKEST FONE OUT ON THE ROADS
RITE ABOUT NOW, OBVIOUSLY THE K750I AND W800I SMASH OFF THE CAMERA
WITH 2.0MP INSTEAD OF 1.3MP BUT U CNT TELL THE DIFFERENCE IF U ASK
ME, THEY ALSO GOT BETTER MEMORY BECAUSE OF ADDITIONAL MEMORY CARDS,BUT
OVERALL THIS PHONES A 3G PHONE, SLICK LOOKS AND BRILLIANT TARRIFS
SO BOY WHOS GOT THE MOST EXCLUSIVE FONE ON THE ROADS?. Rating:
