No it does not work with the R600 I know this for a fact as I bought a R 600 in Sweden yhis year and ended up returning it as the only accessory it worked with was my walk and talk headset Yes it is a lovely phone but not one of Ericsson's best models it was farmed out to a far east manufacture to make so very little of it is Ericsson. Hope this is of help.

yup big help man, i guess they thought far east people dont dig mp3s so they thought the put the load here in our turf. thanks man. excuse me for asking, what kind of volvo do you have??

144 x 2 both 1972 440 1991 and a 740GLE Estate 1988 are you into Volvo's as well

yup actually a dream car for me, i admire everything about a volvo. Unfortunately i dont have the cash for one. I have an asian car, HOnda civic. its good but nothing compared to a volvo, my bosses have them, the S40 silver, i even like their advertisment saying that "volvo is a gift to mankind" man its pure arrogance with the technology to back it up. I like it.

You are correct the best car ever made glad you appreciate pure class with both Volvo and Ericsson products

No, I tried to connect my HPM-10 with my friend's R600. The result was very pity. :- ( We have also many problems with russian language. So I think SE will correct this mistakes and we will have a very good model from SE! :-)

Question: why does the hpm10 doesnt work w r600?how about hpr11?

The r600 will not work with any accessory that require dynamic menus because it does not have them, in the extas menu there is no accessory option, the radio may work because it does not need them, the t66 does not work with any accessory which requires a voltage from the system connector, the r600 will work with pointer &torch

on T66 story, why so? sorry for the ignorance, i havent got hold of the T66...is this one goes same for the T600?

Unlike most other ericsson/se phones the t66/t600 and r600 and possibly t100 are designed by other companys with the software developed by ericsson.

The t66 atleast and proberly t600 as well do not have a voltage source on the system connector to power devices like the laser pointer/blue torch/radio.

If you took a volt meter to the system connector where the battery charger goes on, the ericsson designed phones you would find 3.6 volts on the t66/t600 you would have 0 volts.

well said gatevital Ericsson only designed the software for these phones and they were only meant for the far eastern market originaly or at least this is what I have been told why this should meen that they do not work with the original accessories is any ones guess

ah i see...thanks for the explanations

yeah i think the T66 is a taiwan-made phone, so i guess it would suffer the same fate as the R600. R600 is a generic phone. what do you guys think of the R520m, im thinking of getting a second-hand unit is it worth it?? hey I cant afford anything else new right now not even a T68i

My t66 is made in Finland, nokia is taking over! For good accessory support try the t65 it supports mca 10 hpr 11 hpm 10 and others

Yes you should get a R520 they are the best. I have one of these and it is brilliant great reception sound quality build quality everything about this phone is class. There are a few for sale on ebay in the UK but not sure where you are from but if you want I can give you a link for the sale as they have a few of the copper edition ones for sale and I am thinking of getting one of these. Hope this helps you and look at the R520 thread and see what the boys there think of them.
