After many phones since the P900, I got myself a Z600 again.
I had it briefly for just 3 days when it was just launched in India. Gave it back because Wap/Gprs was not working.
I was waiting for the Nokia 6230 but recent reports about bugs/cd not in package/small screen etc. put me off. The Z600 seemed tempting and I must admit its one the BEST phones I've used till date.
It was like rediscovering
phones all over again. It takes just a few days to get bored with phones from Nokia/Samsung. Using a Motorola is a nightmare and Siemens is nowhere to be seen. IMO the UI combined with themes makes phones attractive always. Add to it a great (and large) display, sparkling polyphony, a world of features and you have classic.
Highly recommended to those looking for a clamshell.

I just re-discovered my t610. Good phone, but not a patch on my 6600.

I think z600 is a very fine phone.
One in the household got it. Got a demo z600(dumie) as well, nice thing to play with while i watch tv.
But some of the covers you can get to that phone are pure ugly.

shame about the design
imagine the Z600 spec in the Z200 package that would be great!

thats is a threat....

I'm also happy with my Z600, purchased about 5 months ago. And I'm like rediscovering it each time I change a new theme, which is quite often.
It's a very good phone IMO.
Posted by Bengal Girl
yes but i find the design to be very off putting. Its just ugly from all angles especially when you open it it just looks cheap
Posted by butterguy
Bengal girl eh?? are u by any chance, Benagl boy's wife, Amy??
if you re not then not to worry just a big coincidence and i should be less curious.

I was really close to buying a SE Z600 myself, but then SE revealed the K700 and ever since nothing is as it used to be. Now I am patiently waiting for that piece of candy...
Posted by Rewind
I changed my T610 to Z600 and happy with that. Next will be K700 maybe...
SE did great job making Z600. Respect
Posted by Bengal Girl
what makes you say that? brand loyalty? bad taste? to re assure yourself of your purchase?
Design wise in my opinion the T610 is light years ahead of the Z600. Z600 is se's first clam shell and it prooves they should stick with the candy bar phone. let samsung do the Clam's.

no its not their first Clamshell phone.. SE japan had them a for a while now.. dud
Posted by Bengal Girl
that may be but it didnt help them make a good phone when it came to the z600 it was so ugly it had pre 95 stylings.
Posted by Abby
Welcome back to Z600!
Posted by punkserb
although i don't like clamshells, i think the z600 looks very nice. z200 is IMO much nicer though! but z600 is not bad at all.
Posted by Atlis
My! Z600 is one beautiful phone! That's it! Z600 will become a legend! :-)
Posted by Bengal Girl

Study the following pictures slowly and carfully one by one.
T100 (2000)
V600 (2004)
Z200 (2004)
E700 (2003)
And finally
Z600 (2003)

:-D E700? Am I right? Nice and stupid
Posted by Bengal Girl
why didnt the pictures show up? the links are all correct? :???
Posted by Vlammetje
erm..... what's the point of all this? Different ppl different tastes. Bengal girl (nice alias.... I wonder what you previous nick was though?) you like the Z200..... which in my opinion is not only not very pretty but also not very advanced.
Who cares what anybody else thinks though?
Posted by ac
Its about the rare combination of beauty and brains...
IMO the Z600 comes "dangerously" close, compared to the Z200.
Btw, I've used the Z200 for some time. While the phone looks better, the sheer absence of many "must-have" (IMO) features deprives the Z200 of the "the phone" status that it could have otherwise enjoyed.
Samsung still excels in polyphony and screens but I can sum up Samsung clamshells in one word "BORING"... even the E700...
Posted by Bengal Girl
their tends to be general consensous between humans to whats nice and whats ugly. For eample sonia from eastenders is ugly and many people would say beyonce is very attractive. A puppy is cute a elephant is ugly.
So now on to phones Clamshells tend to be made for style not for cutting edge technology in a phone. The Z600 tries to do this but fails with the ugly desing. Its an elephant. I dont know how any one can say Z600 looks good and E700 looks boring (it has a olded screen which doubles as a view finder it has many textures from metal rubber and plastic its got contrasting colours hmmm real boring give me lime green plastic with a tiny mono screen anyday!). The only reason any one would say z600 looks good is because A) brand loyalty and B) They own a Z600 and need to feel good about their purchase.
I am not sayng the Z600 is not a good phone i am just saying in the wider picture (i.e. any clamshell this side of the centuary) look nicer than a Z600. Which is a big brick!
V600 has a metal body with a nice external screen and funky lights and is feature packed but manages to stay smaller than a z600. And looks cool.
E700 has a large colour screen on the outside which doubles as a viewfinder and is small and light and has a great colour scheme and uses many inovated textures within the design screens big and bright and the chrome trim adds to the style.
Z200 looks really really cute and is nice and curvy and has a good design features are respective of price.
T100 is small light and has a half decent sized external screen and a nice status LED.
Z600 has bloated elephant stylings with cheap keypad and joke covers which offer personalisation but look more like a "oh my god we designed a shit phone!...lets make it a bit better by adding plastic to it which comes off" the external mono screen is tiny and might as well not be their, and the hinge is pure vile especially when you open it its just yuck whats up with this phone! when its closed it looks like two DVD boxes on top of each other! The star tac had better style!
IMO.

No point in taking this further... some like the Z600 and hate other clams while others hate the Z600 and like other clams... and EVERYONE likes to feel good about their purchase...even people who buy stuff like Nokia 3315/
T105. Infact, thats why people purchase in the first place...to feel good...imo
Posted by boto43
Hey ppl,I think the phone is really good but I can't help it looks like a pregnant woman. Sorry all owners of the Z 600.
Posted by Bengal Girl
you shouldnt need to apologise your stating your feelings.
and i think poor people need to be assured over their purchase
i.e i bought a 61 inch samsung TV but thoguht the screen quality was crap so i got a Sony one instead and i am much happier the other one worked out as a great gift for the in laws.
Posted by ac
I'm was not apologising but merely stressing on the fact that EVERYONE, irrespective of how wealthy they are, likes to feel assured about their purchase. Its more because of peer pressure / sense of status etc than poverty.
I change phones every 20/30 days or so and have seen/used enough phones, including clams, to conclude that the Z600 is damn good clamshell imo.

Strange analogy, especially when you realize that most pregnant women are absolutely radiant.
anyway...... pointless discussion this. I happen to like the Z600 because it's a damned good phone. I don't dislike it's looks but it's functions are much more important to me than any looks could ever be
Posted by Atlis
@B-girl - to your theory about loyalty and ownership. Yes I've got My Z600, and I don't think it's crapy design, I really like it. For me Z200 looks childish... And for supporting my opinion, I don't know anybody in my neighborhood, who was sick of Z600. ;-) relax. Samsung is boring

Precisely...

@vlam I didn't write they are ugly. I just think they both are a little thick. I know it's a nonsense to compare women and phones but I couldn't find better comparison how nice they both are! Btw I've got 3 kids for reason to see how nice my wife was pregnant.
I think you should follow the example to show your husband (maybe perspective) how pretty you can be.
Hope you're not
Posted by Vlammetje
erm... i'm not.
Posted by dj_wolfinstein
well guess its just matter of choosing what you eat..!
Like some like to eat Brocoli others don't..!
Z 600 rocks till date..I would recommend it to anyone and everyone, even though I had manyproblems with my handset( Remember guys My first few days when I bugged ESATO)lol
But once the replacement came through it was absolutely marv!
Z200 although I must say is one of the worst designed by SE..The flip is more like a cow's mouth too big..then the screen remains at 4096 colours, speaker is average..but then it suits Moderate budget buyers who get the pleasure of a flip piece in price of 10,000 rupees ($222.22)
the anti slip grip is so slippy when your palms sweat..
So anywaz lets end this here..Both phone are good in there respective classes which suit different masses,
