M600i a great compromise


This is a great phone smal light, reasonably fast and full of features.

It has no camera which for some is an issue, but camera images tend to be very grainy in low light. I have seen some articles which state that this is therefore not a 3G phone, it is of course, as 3G makes email, web and VPN access a breeze.

The screen is clear, the colours vibrant, the touchscreen is very accurate. But, don't get one of these if it carries the vodafone logo where the M600i label is. The customised software is buggy and has features removed - such as "end task" in the task manager. Vodafone supplied me (after 4 attempts) a "vanilla" phone, this still has the vodafne boot up logo, but is otherwise fairly standard and works brilliantly.

So I have had four phones, the first 2 were vodafone customised devices, the first of which the touchscreen was inaccurate, consistently a few millimeters off. the second one was fine, except for the vodafone software. The thrid wouldn't start and the forth is brilliant.

It is worth the struggle! Get one!

Rating: 8.0
Verdict

Sony Ericsson's M600i is a Symbian/UIQ smartphone with wide appeal, thanks to its support for 3G connectivity, push email, the Opera Web browser and a range of multimedia features.

Typical price

£ 329

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
