V600 has got better buttons, but the K600 has got a better feeling and none of that vodafone crap like icons and stuff like that.
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA |

Go for the unbranded K600i. I assume your getting it from Orange in which case it will have its own branding.
Then tend to move the menus around somewhat but this can be fixed with an update.
I really like the K600i. The design is excellent!
Although the keypad is flush so it will take some getting used to.

@Falcon: Right now there's no choice, the V600 is the only one available in South Africa. Hopefully MTN release the K608 locally.

I do have the SE V600i, and i had select it, over the K600.
There is no problems with the Vodafone software, i could say, that is a Plus .
I have free weather and news report in the Vodafone Live portal .
I do not use the services with payment.(ringtones etc etc)
I liked more the look of V600i , and i was waiting for it to come in Greece , even if the K600 was all ready here.
So i like the phone as it is, and i do not even think to debrand it ..
Also there is no limitations about 3GPs - MP3s and DRM .
Only streamed material was protections as Forward-lock.
So last words:
1) Vodafone has very good signal coverage in my area.
2) Vodafone Live , offers useful free services
3) The phone has a very cool profesional look.
4) And about the keyboard , looks the same in feeling with the K750, my opinion about the keybord is that is not hard or soft , its somewere in the midle.
SE V600i, HBH-602,DSS-20, i love that pack  |

@overvolt thats might be true, but with all of this has the fone itself nothing to do, mainly the operator and its sevices...

Well with out the operator and the services, every phone its just a phone.
My older phone was a nokia 3210, useful and good until it got damaged internally .
With the V600i, I discovered the new world of 3G , Vodafone Live , BT transfers & BT headset, extended phonebook with amazing options , fantastic calendar , good quality camera, and superb phone to PC communication (with third party software) and the Sync Base DSS-20 , amazing radio with RDS (nokias radio is just a toy in comparison with the SE solution) .
Email and WAP 2.0 , what will all that be, with out coverage from the operator ?
Useless functions probably!!
So what are you saying ?
To forget the all pack , and to go back, to nokia 3210 ? ( K600)
I am not attacking you , I just support my view with any possible way

i get your point, but all those are given in many other fones aswell, imo design, how a handy the fone is and the battery ( and techn support of it ) makes a model special or bit more then another one.
