Not bad at all the keyboard is a bit of a bitch. but im getting used to it, this phone is making me text more now though...the speed of emails is pretty quick, havent set up push emails yet thought its not really necessary for my purposes. very Blackberry esq.
Unfortuneately mine is vodafone branded which is a bit of a dissapointment but i dont really pay attention to all that. Would like to get it de-branded though. Vodafone need to sort out thier 3G costing as your bills can skyrocket if your not careful.
I enjoy the "one" handed operation butttons are well positioned, well for my hand size anyways. Typing is swift when you have worked out all of the shortcuts on the keyboard.
The 3G is very quick didnt expect it, very light, deffinately shrit pocket worthy. I deffinately prefer it to my Vario soo far the symbian OS is faster thant WM5 and hasnt crashed yet, i will see how it goes for a week.
Dont really play games on it but im guessing Vjay Singh Golf is the same as the P990i basically.
The video Playback is impressive even with my encoded videos (QCIF sized 176x144) the picture is crisp with no drop frames or anything sound quality is clear. The startup time of the videos was a little worrying but once it was up and runningyou can jump from scene to scene with no problems. The fullscreen option is good (even though its not full) i dont think the return button in the top right is necessary.
Not having a camera is not important to me so i dont notice it not there.
The battery depletes quite quickly... i didnt think it would be that quick, i will see how quickly it drains but another time as i need it tonight 
All in all a handy little device: 8/10

@ below24... you will get used to the keyboard... I am using it more than the touchscreen to be honest...
Deleted the golf game...
Just looking around for a proper replacement case as mine took a tumble few weeks ago... hardly touched it in the white... but i know the scratches are there

Is that correct? |

@k.226:It doesn't matter what kind of software it runs,it'll be a regular m600i after u flash it to the latest firmware.But is it worth it to buy a SH one?A new one is around 400 euros here which to me is quite cheap.

@gabster,
live.vodafone.co.uk
should work, currently in the London area there are problems with vodafone live and GPRS/3G web access.
I dont get why the M600i (vodafone branded) do not have it as the homepage on the phone, you have to manually put it in, i just get the sonyericsson homepage instead...
Hope that helped

I've not been able to get my unbranded M600 to work on vodafone live either. I must have keyed the vodafone settings into tens of phones over the years but I also get the same blank page as gabster on the M600. Haven't tried the P990 yet but it doesn't matter as, after 8 years with vodafone, my number is being ported to t-mobile today... just waiting for the switchover now

M600 backlit time is too short. Can I extend the time? Or there any app that allow that?

Thx the tricks was helpful. but it still give me eyesore if the backlit dimmed.
i've noticed many  model have this kind of autobacklit management that pain me in the ass. maybe they should give us freedom to set the dim period of our own. |
