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!

Nokia E63

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
