The bluetooth implementation seems to be a bit on the weak side. Not surprising though.. it's a Nokia. Other than that it seems to be a good phone/smartphone.

I pretty much agree with the mobile-review reviewer, he didn't mention anything about the newer Symbian version (7.0s) and newer Series 60 version (2.0) though. It also has a WAP 2.0 and XHTML browser which the 7650 lacked.

I had decided to get a 6600 a few days ago...

There are some reasons:
1. Its voice recorder can record phone conversations!!! It is very important for me.
2. It is much cheaper than P900 in Hong Kong (around US$245 cheaper), and the price of 6600 is just US$50 more than Z600
3. P900 Chinese version has not launched yet, and seems that it will not be launched in a short time... That means I have to wait for a long long time more... While the joystick of my T68i is now out of control, I have to get a new phone now
4. It uses MMC instead of expensive MSD
5. It is smaller and lighter (not much though)

Of course P900 is still much better than the 6600, but P900 cannot record phone conversations while 6600 and most old SE phones. Also, I have no choice. I cannot wait for more time for P900 Chinese version to launch, as my T68i is not out of control. And the price of Z600 is quite unreasonable in my opinion while I can pay just $50 for more open OS (i.e. more games and softwares), better camera, dictionary and more advanced PIM functionalities (though it is bigger).

Just want to share my ideas and opinions and that's all. I am not trying to praise or blame on any brands or products but just telling you all what I'm thinking and why I choose this phone rather than others.

there is also this review at MobileBurn

conclusion: ya it's good, but it could (should?) have been better.

having not played with one myself i'll reserve judgement.
