Swedish 3G operator 3 is offering K608. Is there any firmware customizations made to K608? I'd really hate to get a crippled phone (like what Vodafone did to the K700).

better get the real thing, a nice K600i.
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA |

A K608 with K600 fw would be the ideal. I like the K600's UI but absolutely hate it's flush buttons...texting with it is hard work.

I have a K600i and K750 (Both on Orange). I am a heavy texter and prefer the k750i for this.
I do like the looks and feel of the K600i. And the phone is def more solid in feel and looks.
Its just a shame the the K600i doesnt have extra memory
33mb is not enough (well for me it isnt) However for a spare phone its great and the video calling is superb. Well it is if the Person im calling on the other end ever has a network (no names mentioned but i will give you 3 guesses)
The camera isnt much to right home about. 1.3mb but with the lack of auto focus and other features the K750i wins hands down and you can tell the difference in and out door.
Screen on the K600i is so much brighter even tho they are the same, but the batteries are the same and virt the menus structuer is the same as the k750i. You can even change the SMS tone to one of your own.
Hope this helps |

Personally, I prefer K600i too (but the K608i branding is not as annoying as vodafone V600i) ...at least it's much for colorful with K608i
Btw, guys...how do u compare the battery life of K608i with K600i ?? I got a customer saying to me K608i seems to have a longer battery life ...
Do u agree?

I prefer the look of the V600i but would like to have it with the K600i software. A memory card slot would have been nice too. |

I have the K608i, the branding is not too bad although why do operators insist on the right soft button going to their WAP site, especially when on the K608i where is a button on the side of the phone right next to this that goes to the web!
The buttons are good on the K608i, they are awful and recessed on the K600i.
At least I can use MP3/MP4 ringtones on the K608i, Vodafone normally block this on their handsets ie. the V600i. |

K600i for me all the way, far better looks than the others, would have liked more memory, but as it is used mainly as a second phone, the other been a K750i, I can easily live with the 33mb it has. Build is way better than the K750i, and i like the buttons and the blue keypad lights, also like the signal light on the top, always loved this on Ericsson's and hated it when they stopped using it on the T610.

If you check out the SE site you will see that you can get and unbranded unlocked K608 from them. Not 3 or Tmob.

if u flash it, u cannot access the 3 trailer zone. of course ths system recognize what fw u have in your fone, but who cares. but if u are worried cos of the warranty, rather dont flash it, cos u cannot get k608i fw from nowhere ( officially and unofficially )
