Sony Ericsson K600i / K600
Discontinued 14th February 2005
A slightly more compact than usual 3G handset with
the increasingly standard 1.3 megapixel camera, the
confusingly named K600i appears to be Sony Ericsson's
attempt to take 3G into the mainstream.
The features on the K600 are exactly what you'd expect
for a 3G handset - a 176x220 pixel display in 262,000
colours, video calling with twin cameras, Bluetooth,
a WAP 2.0 browser and email client, multimedia playback
and video capture, voice control and everything else
you'd expect, plus an FM radio.
There's no expandable memory on the K600i, but the
internal memory is 37Mb which means that is can store
a moderate amount of media files and data. On 3G the
talktime is 2 hours, on GSM it's 7.5 hours, with 12
days standby in either mode. Physically, the K600 is
104x45x19mm making it compact for a 3G phone, but still
fairly big for a GSM one. Weight is not known at present.
The Sony Ericsson isn't a hugely innovative phone
in terms of specification, but its positioning between
the K500 and K700 2G phones is interesting - it shows
that Sony Ericsson is quite happy to push 3G handsets
for the mass market rather than just a product niche.
Available in Q3 2005 in Europe in the "i"
configuration of UMTS (3G) + GSM 900/1800/1900.
