the keys are designed more like rocker switches - so it's easier to rock the key to the left or right than it is to press either of two tiny keys that would take up te same space on a "full" qwerty. IMHO, this keyboard is brilliant and better than the P910 one which you can't really qwerty type on (maybe if you have six year old's hands)
That said, I haven't actually tried it - but I ave used other devices with two characters per key, and it's actually surprisingly easy to use compared to two smaller keys.

precisely. Wifi coverage is not there, and the cost advantage is fast disappearing, so 9in a choice between the two (umts and wifi) it's rather obvious which they will use.

C'mon guys, you must be joking.
What business user doesnt have WiFi at home or at the office?? Think also about airports, think about coffee places, think about shopping malls etc.
THink also about WiFI on board airplanes, I've used this a few times, and it *is* simply brilliant.
But anyway, the point here is to leave the choice to the consumer whether to use WiFi or not, but M600 doesnt offer this choice, and thats the problem.
 did make a mistake here, really. They will deliver a phone which is not up to today's standards of an email phone.
E61 is the right choice really. Unbeaten in terms of connectivity, size, and features. |

So bad for America: no support for 850 Mhz. Why SE can't make dual mode + quad band phone like Nokia made E61 and N80:
GSM 850/900/1800/1900 + 3G. ALL in one.

Just now hit me - The thing does not even have EDGE. So when there is no 3G then then GPRS will be the only alternative  Definitely E61 - |

People, Black Berry devices work perfectly on low bandwidth situations. GPRS is what business people use today therefore not having EDGE is not that much of a problem. 3G will be available in the main places business visit - train stations, main roads, cities etc

i don't think it will have a cam, it will probably have edge and build in gps.

The phone seems unfinished:
What is this rectangular area above keypad? It would be ideal for D-pad but it has jog-dail already????

On the models seen yesterday, it just said 'Sony Ericsson' again. It's where the custom sticker goes for the operator/reseller.

Of course WiFi is everywhere. Anywhere I go in the UK (well, London where I am!) I can find hotspots.. Starbucks, McDonald's, airports, train stations and even my local porsche showroom! Go on a GNER or Southern train and I can also use WiFi while travelling...
BUT, in pretty much all these places I also have decent GSM or 3G coverage. No need to set anything up to use WiFi, or to stay within the boundaries of coverage as it sends/receives. When set up for BlackBerry (or any other push email service), I can keep the phone in my pocket and it gets my mail as I move about. I can then reply just as quickly.
Sure, WiFi would be good (and, indeed, I use it on the 9300i quite a bit) but it's really not essential. In fact, a lot of people wouldn't even set it up because it's more hassle than its worth if you're not dealing with hundreds of large emails with attachments.
Sony Ericsson will have done a lot of testing before release. They had a number of customers using prototypes last year, and you may have noticed they changed the keyboard design from the pictures leaked last year. Who knows, they may have had a version with WiFi during the testing.

As I see it EDGE is not big in Europe yet. said they will support .EU first and then .US, that's why you don't see quadband UMTS + EDGE phones from .
A M600 +EDGE -UMTS might/will probably come later on.
As I stated b4 I think left out WiFi and probably EDGE to have a reason to release a M610 later on.
This is a really really good corporate device.
I also like it's design a lot more that the P990's design. I actually love it's plain design.
About the sticker. I is OK where it is right now, but it would be 100 times better beneath the keypad, ergonomic + design wise.

Thats a nice one from se,now there is a competetior for E(lf) phone from nokia 
Now sonyericsson has intregated uiq3 to current hardware (p990) ,so i think we can see more devices of such,the first being m600.Thatll give s60 a good run for money.
