Sony Ericsson W600 - User Reviews

  • yes i also need it

  • I still use my Sony Ericsson W600. I got it over 10 years ago!!

  • I still have this phone in a box, in storage, from years ago lol, was such an awesome phone back in the day haha

  • i need this mobile

  • The sound quality is awesome.... Could not find a phone whose sound quality is better than this.

  • I need tha mobile

  • I Need this mobile

  • Not fresh piece is available man!but u can try on olx..u guaranteed found it!

  • I bought this W600i when it first came out. There was a glitch when it swivelled open and it would shut off. I sent it in for repair within two weeks of having the phone. I still have this phone! It was my main phone until last September when I decided to hand the phone down to my son. We changed the stock battery this month and it is working great considering how old it is. I was really satisfied with this phone because of the ability to get on the internet with WAP browsing, which means that I could go on the internet any time I wanted, as long as I had cell phone service. I dislike that smart phones are not being made with WAP browsers. Does anyone know how to add WAP programing to a smart phone?

  • is this mobile still available in stores to buy? in india or us

  • i want to buy this phone..anyone suggest me where it is available still? any bussiness weblinks?

  • was a great phone unfortunately it was stolen

  • I would like to know how to change the language of my sony ericsson cause i give the phone for my dad and he live in Brazil, so the language should be portuguese, anything that i can do it??

  • This was the best phone ever which i had used.sound quality was just awesome.unfortunetly i had lost it.....

  • Had this phone from may 2006; its truly awesome. it has one of the best sound quality on a phone. I am using a milestone which is pretty clear, however in most cases the w600 sounds quality will be most impressive. Which mine could look as new as when i bought it

  • Hi, i saw some w600i (w550) on ebay.com, good luck.

  • Hi, This is one of my favorite phone. I couldn't get it in market now. If any retailer has this phone pl revert back. I am crazy on this W550.

  • Wait a minute, this w600 is symbian series 90 phone??? like the nokia 7710??? if yes than whats the RAM and ROM and PROCESSOR and tell me everything you guys know about it!!!

  • I agree, this is a very good phone! I also use this as my backup phone. The reception and battery life is excellent! Don't let the "loose screw" thing prevent you from getting this phone. Just don't constantly swivel it left/right, treat with CARE and it WILL last. Owned for 5 years, never fell apart.

  • Excellent phone.......tough, reliable, fast....is still in my use as a secondary phone great music qualit camera was just fine if only they put a card slot in it

  • This mobile is very hard to find nowadays, but i was very... very lucky to find it after months of search and i bought it yesterday (it was the only second hand w600 available and you cant find any "new in box" right now) and its simply awesome!!! - Great & powerful stereo sound very clear, you were right guys, this model its the best of all walkman series! I dont care if it doesnt have external memory, wi-fi, GPS:) I fell very lucky to have one. Thanks!

  • One of the best phones I had ever owned!!!

  • One of the best phones I ever owned. All it lacked was external memory. Wish the could redo this one... Great.

No jugamos bien, pero el Otro equipo (Guerrero // Borghi // 1 Rep de Borghi // Videla // y el arquero no se como se llama) jugaron muy de cagones haciendo tiempo con el arquero jugando todo el tiempo para atras y saliendo de contraataque, ni hablar que le pegaban desde lejos porque no teniamos arquero -.sin codigo.- Corrimos un monton pero la diferencia se noto perdimos por varias pepas. Cuando faltaba 5 min para que termine paso uno de ellos para nosotros cuando el partido ya estaba liquidado

  • I had this phone for about a year and i loved it. its had flash a awsome camera easy layout because it was sony ericsson pretty good memory space and lots more. BUT mine ended up falling apart in the middle to where I had to put a rubber band around it so it would not be held together by just wires. If i could have that phone back i would and so far i have had a Iphone, Krazor, Rizor and about ten other ones and the W600i is still my favorite.

  • this phone is the shyt... the graphics are off the hook... the sound is amazing... love this phone...

  • my phone doesn't work all it does is give me a white screen

  • I have this until 2 years and work perfect. The sound of this baby is amazing most powerfull than the newest phones. the desing is fabulous original is simply excellent But this phone have 3 errors first sometimes it blocks when you connect it to the pc and haven't external memory the other one is both stereo speakers drain a lot of battery

  • This phone is terrible! I had it for about 4 months and then it froze up. Now i have to get a new phone and im mad.

  • I've had this phone for over 2 years. Despite the abuse it receives, its still working great. Its very functional - no major annoyances. In fact its nicer than most cheap(er) phones because you can actually hook it up to your computer and transfer wallpapers and ringtones to your phone, or transfer pictures and videos that you took to your computer.

  • I love this phone!! I have had this phone for three years now and after modding it... it roars, awesome...

  • u need the cable to hook it up the the pc and drag files to the drive it now occupies. its easier with the software download it from the s/c website and your on. hope it helps

  • i love this phone its like a mini stereo in my pocket,tons of games, pics, music and vids of my buddies doing the funniest things

  • I love this phone!! I have had this phone for three years now and i adore it! I did have a problem when the top disconnected from the bottom. at that time I bought a new phone, and hated it. I immediately fixed this phone and am still using it!!Love it!!

  • if you can attach it to the computer via cable you can. it doesn't use memory cards so it can't hold alot of songs. try using mp3 format

  • i have this phone but i dont know how to download songs to it. somebody help?!!

  • sick phone..

  • i have had this phone for about 2years and it is the best phone i have come across,works well,no problems. please bring this phone back with and external memory option and a 2.0 m pix cam.

  • ive had my phone about 3 years, first it would shut off by itself constantly, then that suddenly stopped and it functioned bad for about one week. I couldnt find out how to download the music, finnaly managed that & listened to half of one song, it kept shutting itself off and off, then the world ended.I love this phone i never even got to get used to it! Oh and text messaging is totally cool instead of letters being in line alphabetically it mixes them up and you have to chose instead of a b c you a c b then not d e f but d f e and if that wasnt good enough they put them vertical instead of horizontal. It must have been me.Why would anyone change alphbet order????? Not to mention that the phone is thin and slides in and out of your pocket Well, that was fine it was having it die without one scratch on it that just killed me, I havent even got the wrong headphones (the seller shipped the correct ones) but claimed the phone was old. Maybe oldly refurbished. Whatever to me it is a brand new piece of goodness! the person who previously wrote this lied!!!!!!!!

  • i love this fone

  • when my friend got this phone, my main goal was to steal it off of her! lol nah ko but this phone is F.F.FAB i wouldnt mind buyin this phone at all!

  • it ver sweet

  • ive had my phone about 3 weeks, first it would shut off by itself constantly, then that suddenly stopped and it functioned fine for about one week. I couldnt find out how to download the music, finnaly managed that & listened to half of one song, it kept shutting itself off, then the "WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH"! I hate this phone i neve even got to get used to it! Oh and text messaging is totally screwed up instead of letters being in line alphabetically it mixes them up and you have to chose instead of a b c you a c b then not d e f but d f e and if that wasnt bad enough they put them vertical instead of horizontal. It must have been made by a dislexic Japanese man. Why would anyone change alphbet order????? Not to mention that the phone is fat and doesnt slide in and out of your pocket Well, that was fine it was having it die without one scratch on it that just killed me, I havent even got the correct headphones (the seller shipped the wrong ones) but claimed the phone was brand new. Maybe newly refurbished. Whatever to me it is a brand new piece of Crap!

  • I've had this phone for almost 2 years. Soon, I'm thinking about changing my phone. I'm going to miss this phone very much! Not a lot of people have this phone, so whenever someone sees my phone, they're amazed by the unique design. I really like the design. I absolutly LOVE how the phone always has room for new songs and pictures. No matter how much I put in, the memory never gets full. The only bad part is that I've always wanted a thin phone and compared to recent thin phones, this one's pretty thick. But I've gotten used to that. & Actually, some people like the fact that my phone's thick because it's pretty cute. Also, whenever I put in new songs and pictures from the computer, and take out the USB port, the phone freezes. Because this phone's so unique, people usually don't know how to work it. I love how they can't use my phone(; I've dropped this phone many times and even dropped it in the toilet, but there's nothing wrong with it. Once, I don't know how, but I broke the charger, and now I have to live with the traveling charger. I have to keep charging the phone since it runs out of battery quickly- I usually charge it twice a day. But I think that's my fault. Other than that, it's a good phone!

  • Hi i had this phone for about 2yrs. and all i gotta say is that i lost this phone the first time, and i just had to have it again!!! great phone!!! Best features: mp3, good good sound, bass and stuff. also the camera its only a 1.3 but compared to the samsungs with 2mg and the sony 850i with a 2mp its still better, its has flash and the vedio last for ever. i have a vedio thats 24mins. long and the only reason why it stop was becuse i was getting tired of holding it. even with the vedio i still have plenty of room to add more music and pics. love this phone. Bads: only format for music is MP3 which is not that bad.Also when connect to sync it, the screen goes crazy for a sec. then returns to normal. if your thinking about this phone i say go for it. the best part is that it is very unique, in its orange face plates. every that sees it loves it.

  • it is a great phone. i got it last week and now the screen is freezing. is was a few time @ begining and now it the whole morning! i did an up-date and nothing happen? does any body know something about it? help! is there anything i can do?

  • my only problem with that phone is that the pple i talk to always complain that they hear too much the noise around me, so sometimes they cant hear me well. But overall its a wonderfull phone

  • I want to know about the exam material used for w600????!!

  • plz tel me plz plz plz how can i unlimeted the sms memory of w600i ???

  • themes @ zedge.net

  • hey this mobile is 2gud i jus cant tell about this mob.This mobile has very gud features n a gud megapixel n soundzzz .this mobile is mindblowing

  • I've had this phone almost two years, which is a record for me. It still works fantastic, it looks good and I still keep finding little things in it that I never knew existed! Great phone!! I keep looking at all the new phones out, but can't find one that will come close to replacing this one, I love it so much!

  • I had this phone from the summer and all I can say is that thi phone rocks!

  • This phone still rocks. I yet want it.

  • I have had my w600i for over a year now. I really like it a lot. It look great, I can operate it with one hand. I have two areas that I wished were just a little bit better. One, if you don't have your ear right on the spot, the sound fades badly. 2. It has no free games like poker and what ever.

  • the differnce iz dat w600i have edge dats da only differnce!!!

  • this is the best cell phone you can find! but I have a question : what is the difference between W600 & W550 &W600i?

  • A totally indestructable phone considering how long it's lasted and how many times it's been dropped or thrown! Although an old phone keep going back to it

  • I love this phone! I've been using it for about 1.5 years (Or whenever it first came out). It's unique, sounds good, and has a lot of utility. Unfortunately, the company I work for has switched to nextel. I'll miss this phone so much. Nextel phones suck compared to this one. It will be for sale if anyone is interested. I'll entertain all reasonable offers.

  • This phone has great features but, the swivel front of the whole phone broke off twice had to get it fixed. Some keys did not work like 4, 6 the back button had to send it back to the company to get a new one with in 3 months of buying it. The screen always frezzes. They stopped making this phone though cause of all the problems

  • i love my phone but the display screen has gone blank although i can still recieve calls and stuff i cant read my messages. the guy says it needs a co-ax cable i think but no one has it

  • design is unique tho abit inconvenient. experienced software malfunctions twice so far. therez better phones on the the market. battery life is awesome. but overall, its a nice phone and a good walkman.

  • this phone is wack..would not recommend it ..phone froze after 8 months and was unable to flash it...now it's just looking at me

  • ya it's goood

  • i've had this phone for 2 years and love it i've had very few problems with it! its great! but hear alot of bad stuff tho the only thing i had wrong was the screen coming loose! but its fixed now!

  • i can not down load from my phone to the pc it sayes cant fine mobilte what can i do to get the pictues off my phone and on to my computer getting mad at this phone. statring to look for a nw phone

  • i've had this phone for almost a year. At first, the bluetooth stopped functioning and now the sound of the phone is gone for no reason. Cingular guys could not help it so i had to buy a new phone. Anyone has any idea, if this problem can be taken care of.

  • oh' ihate it! some keys in the keypad doesn't work.. the down,C,4,6,#!!!!!!! oh' hate it..... but one things for sure the music is great!

  • the white screen of death has happened to me as well, but after a bit of research it's actually the phone's firmware being damaged, either by pulling out the battery without powering off properly or overloading the ram. the solution to this problem is 'flashing'. simply visit any mobile repair shop that deals with technical problems such as unlocking and so on. the bad news is that if you don't back up your data to a computer all of it will be completily wiped out! the good is that after it is fixed and in good working condition it will never crash again. you'll be given the flash of life!

  • I love my 600i but also got the white screen of death. I tried everything w/SE to repair it and failed. Can you give me any detailed info to get mine fixed as you did? Thanks

  • ive had this phone for about a year now, and i too have experienced the white screen of death, but for those who dont know, it can be fixed easily, i took it to one of the local cell repair shops and got it fixed in like 5 minutes, lost all the data, but the phone was basically as it first started and for some reason my battery lasts longer.

  • I am INCREDIBLY pissed off at this phone. Right now I am staring at the white screen of death. I have taken the battery OUT, I have put it back in. I have taken the SIM out, I have put it back in. I cannot get it to turn off once it's on,(other than by removing the battery) and as soon as it turns on it goes directly to the white screen of death. You would think that sony could have figured out a more stable file transfer platform that doesn't risk wiping the entire phone out if it is disturbed during transfer. Adding the inconvenience of not being able to get a live body on the support lines, and that this phone isn't carried in stores and I am ready to run it over with my car.

  • este celular e muito bom faz muita coisa.. mas so naum tem muita memoria so 256 mb se tivese mais estaria junto com aqueles outros sony porque ele faz muita coisa muito bom mesmo

  • This phone was the best phone I've ever experienced. It has everything that no other phone has. The loud speakers, memory was awesome, camera was amazing.. just everything was awesome about this phone. I cried when the twister broke and the whole phone fell apart..

  • i have had this phone for quite a while and i recently lost it in a taxi going to san juan who ever have this phone may God bless you and your dishonest self .and yes the phone did freez alot .but all and all it was a nice phone.

  • I've had this phone for 14 months right now and and the only problem I had/have is that the Swivel mechanism started to "stick/jam" and after trying to force it open it broke... I was able to fix it by taking the WHOLE phone apart and tightening the screws which hold it together. I had to do this several times in the last 2 Months as apparently they kept working themselves loose. Eventually one screw fell out by its self and got lost. Also, in the process of "Fixing" the phone I have since lost the camera function..... DESPITE this, this phone is bar none the best phone I've even used... I love the feature set on SE phones. I am actively looking at the k810i; k850i and will happily purchase whichever will work properly on cingular.AT&T network

  • I've had this phone almost for a year...but recently, when i was charing it, it turned into a white screen for no reason. that happened to me twice, and it won't respond at all!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! now i hav to get a new phone b/c this one broke..ugh!

  • I have used the W600i for 2yrs and I have not had any problem with it at all. Its just time for an upgrade since I want a smartphone now.

  • i love this mobile

  • To use the remote control you need a bluetooth adapter. Download bluetooth remote control to create your own controls ;)It's verry cool I,m useing it to control winamp via the global hotkeys.

  • Is a great cell phone. I love it!!!

  • OH!!! help!!....how can use use this as the desktop control....or remote control??????????Pleze help! Thnx

  • This phone has AMAZING MEGABASS when using the headphones....

  • first i see,i think its W550

  • i never saw this phone in market

  • My phone's screws that are attached to the main body fell out. How do I screw them back in? Please, i really need to know soon.

  • It's cool

  • what? this phone doesnt' HAVE a memory card? ... that sucks :(

  • this phone really needs the meomory card :S

  • if you want a telescop for this phone i have tha web so you can go is look cool i goin to have 1 for my: mobile.brando.com

  • i've had this phone for a year now...love it...it's fun and have not have a problem with it...just ready for an upgrade now

  • i think its a great phone just the way it opens starts to wear after a while. it gets loose. i like all the cool features.

  • i had to replace this phone 4 times because it kept freezing, and braking on its own. it has great features and all and i was very happy with it, but if you want a phone that will last longer than 4 months... i wouldnt recomend this one.

  • great phone, only downfall is that when its in my pocket, it slides open and logs online. if this phone didnt open the way it does(turn clockwise), it would be a great phone, needs a better camera &video record. but has tons of features

  • Yes, I just had the same problem with it deleting my games. I didn't download anything to it though. If I find a fix, I'll post it here...

  • I was wodndering if any one who owns this phone has a problem like mine, after I turned the power on it keeps informing me that there is a "configuration error.please contact your network operator or service center." but my sim card works well in other mobile phones. so if there is any one who would like to help please do so. thanks.

  • Problem: I did the SEUS on my W600, and now I can't turn on my phone, it keeps freezing at the SE screen, anybody have this problem? and if so does anybody have a solution??? thanks in advanced

  • well, actually when i 1st saw the photos of both the w550i n w6oo on ur homepage i thought they might be different but they r both same. i completely rely on ur website before purchasing any phone so henceforth plz try not to make such a serious mistake.

  • question: has anyone who owns this phone had any problems with it deleteing both applications and games for no reason when downloading new content to it? and if so how is this issue resolved?

  • W550 europe model W600 north america model of which i have where i am in canada and its a great phone ive had it for a year but now looking towards the W580i model which looks very nice.

  • Kindly change the review please not photograph my error...!!!

  • Yea, My query was about the photograph that you people have attached on the name of Sony ericsson W600 here. That's W550i please .... I trust GSM arena for all my phone queries and I cannot expect such an error from a website like you. Change this photograph ASAP.. Thanks

  • i wanna buy one of these phones, do ya'll think it's a good buy?

  • i just recieved my phone and it will not charge...anybody else had that problem?

  • the w550 does not have EDGE while the w600 does....its a little pricier

  • what's the difference betwwen this phone n the w550i .. and the others, aint it exactly the same?

  • first i had the white screen of death and the phone would shut down when tapped lightly or when opening the phone up. the phone was replaced on warranty...i go to open this phone up for the first time and it shuts down completely again..it was brand new!!!? this is my first cell. totally dissapointed

  • i have a question,pls....can u tell me how it's memory 256 mb it's shared...pls i really want to know

  • hey wat do u mean by update the phone to avoid the white screen of death. software r somthing else.

  • This is my first walkman phone and I love the features. Siz is a bit larger than other phones I have had in the past, but not so large as to cause a problem. Takes wonderful pictures and the sound is absolutely incredible. Texting is easy and phone book is great. I love the calendar it keeps me from being late or forgetting appointments. I never played any games on it or used it for the internet so I cannot comment. The battery is outstanding and lasts forever! The only drawback I have is that the screws come loose after a while, so you have to learn how to fix this yourself or get a pouch to carry it in so as not to treat the phone too roughly. All in all, a terrific phone!

  • Hey folks... ever wonder where to download lotz of wallpapers and themes for this phone? Check this site: For games(although a spanish language site), For other java-based applications go to:

  • this phone is full of featurres, i was reallly impressed with the volume! mannn thats loud and clearr tooo. but the only problem they have with these phones is that the screws keep coming loose, but its an easy fix! other than that good job sony ericsson.

  • Update ur phone to avoid the white screen.

  • I got my phone on my birth last 06.I drop it a couple of time.The only problem I have since was every time I use the head set and I will get a call they cannot hear me .I have to put mic close to my mouth to talk.I change head set already and same problem.

  • I got this phone shortly after it was released. it lasted all of about 3 months and then it fell apart, literally fell apart. SE's explanation was that the vibrate function slowly undid the screws holding the screen to the main body of the phone, they then refused to replace it despite it still being in warrenty. this phone is a joke steer clear.

  • my sony ericsson has had this white screen for 4 days it doesnt do anything at all please can some1 help me ? how do I make this take off??

  • this is a gr8 phone thwe only bad thing is 256 mb and dose eney one now enething about the w610 is it simler but with ex merey

  • anthony ithink its better t o buy the w850.......its better though

  • the phone sometimes doesn't let you "stop" it, thats why some people just plug it out, my was sent back to warranty.

  • i luv this phone but then the screen is small and has no memory slot. these r the only 2 problems.

  • First I got W550.Now, 10 months later, I got this one. It�s great! Nice design and good functions......and sounds "Malandr�simo"!!!!! White screen in some W phones is a softare�s bug. Now I�ll sell my Samsung E370

  • its a cool fone. very handy........

  • it is a good phone but i want to know how u put your sms to your computer with use of the datakabel.can someone email me any software of this

  • ok a BIG reason why people are getting "WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH" is because of the improper action of taking it out of USB mode......when u put the cable cord in your phone and finished putting all your stuff on the phone you have to eject the cable and once you say that the phone will say: usb connection ended. It is now safe to remove the USB cable

  • i luv this phone!....its so cool and it has great multi-tasking features

  • Ive This phone, them it has some problem whit the cable data, and this kill the cell phone, today, I cant run this phone, Me, and 5 frends has that, and all have this problem sorry for my inglish, hehe

  • I love this phone, its built in memory is amazing and as weith all s/e great battery life

  • Mine actually broke in half at the hinge because the screws got stripped. It happened to be under warranty still so Sony Ericsson fixed it for free. I was really happy. This phone is practically industructable.

  • Great Phone! Plays very loud, even louder than the w810.

  • I LOVE THIS PHONE!it never gave me probs...but I always have to wait becuzI got it since 5 months only.

  • this phone is realy a peace of diamond because - 1.sound 2.display 3.bttery back up 3.set desing 4.camera 5.bluetoth is very fast. ALL OF ARE REALY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

  • thank you airplane mode responder

  • Of the four members of my family who have this phone, I am the only one who has gotten the WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH. We all have had problems with it stalling while it processes. I have had to send it in THREE times, and am now hoping to get a totally different make and model to replace this. I am done with this phone!!

  • Well after my bluetooth couldnt be fixed I upgraded to the W810i. Since then I've realised that the 600 had little glitches that malfunctioned so I am glad I did the upgrade.

  • this is a great fone

  • Well my bluetooth just started malfunctioning it keeps saying memory full when the phone has 66MB free what can be done. Please help!!!!!!

  • ok, in order to put on airplane mode, u gotta turn off ur phone first. then turn it back on and it will say ''TURN ON PHONE'' or ''MUSIC PLAYER''. when u see it, press the music player that is the airplane mode.

  • how do u put the phone on aiplane mode!!!...please respond somebody!!!!

  • yo this phone is ok!!! i have 2 the both broke. i woke up on day wondering why my phone alam did not go off i see the phone is turned off so i tured it on and it was a white screen......can any one help me for i trow the phone out the window

  • i have this phone and although it's not THE BEST. its pretty good. i havent encountered many problems with it but it has shut off on me out of no where! i really want to get a white cover but no store has it! i love the mp3 player. i have 159 songs stored and it's not even full yet. i love the walkman feature. i'd reccommend this phone only if you know how to handle it

  • DONT BUY!!!! THEY ARE Dieyin!!! mine did it and two of my friends have these problem too.

  • this phone is like an iPod nano....seriously...altho it would be great if it had a memory card...the pictures come out perfectly....and the flashlight is very powerful...overall....gr8 phone

  • its a very nice and usfl and very nois

  • The phone is very usefully the USB mode is a little bit slow to be recognized by a PC and the radio is good, the MP3 menu is the best, seems like an ipod, the memory is good, bad the no expand option but if you know how to store the music you can handle many information, the last week I stored 94 songs in my cell phone and have a 25 MB free to store many files. it's a excellent phone, sorry about the size, it's a fat phone, but the style is very nice

  • and by the way the white screen is caused by plugging the phone into the computer and then removing it before clicking "safely remove hardware"....haha it took me 4 phones to learn.

  • Hey everyone i have had this phone for about it year and a half. and im here to tell you its crap. when i first bought it the "white Screen" incident occurred with me 4 times. Each time i had to return the phone to cingular for a new one. i went through 4 phones before the incidents stopped. i have now had the phone quite a while but sometimes the phone just locks up and shuts off. now that it is used my screen, the movingh part of the phone, now wobbles to the point i think in a few more weeks it will completely break. Dont get my wrong i love my w600i, its adorable and has great features, but as time has passed it has just turned out to be unrealiable. i wouldnt recomend purchasing this phone unless you plan on replacing it within a year. thew phone is attractive but it causes much more problems than its worth.

  • one of my best phones

  • well well well u guyzz know sony cheated motorola for se w550i design check out

  • my screen went white and it wont turn on anyone know whats up ?

  • How Does Deleting The Software Off My CPU Help My Phone?

  • my screen when white too can someone tell me how to delete the software and how to put the new software in please e-mail me

  • if u want 2 delete the software then go 2 conrtol panel then click Add/Remove Programs, and then u will find it in there.

  • Het Guys wats up? im having the same problem,my screen is just staying white excuse me but i dont remember the name of the person, but they said that u have to delete the software on the phone, how do u do that if i cant even see anything/do anything with the phone it self?

  • I've had this phone for about 6 months and about 2 months ago 2 screws fell out of the turntable that lets it rotate. It wasn't a big problem, it just wobbled a little. Tonight, though, the other screw fell out, and as I was hanging up, the front and back separated. I now have a nun chuck phone. It's a cool phone; it's just made VERY cheaply.

  • Can some1 plz tell me in what resolution this phone video records. Is it 176x144 or more.

  • shall i get this phone? im planning to get a new phone but can not decide.

  • Hey, Mine came with an extra front and back plate and it�s dark blue. I change it out if I go to like a wedding or something. It�s like casual orange or dress blues.

  • Can someone tell me if I can change the "vibrant orange" faceplate on my phone..I'm getting bored with it

  • This phone is the sh*t.I love this phone..... only if it had more memory,I never have problems with it.Good choice:)

  • Purchased one from Cingular had it with no problems and good usage for 5 months before I destroyed it. Received another one from the insurance company with $50 deductable. One month later the hinge came apart in my hands, phone still works fine, but held together with rubber bands. I contacted Cingulars warranty department where after 45 minutes on the phone I was told this is "A common problem" and they would send me a replacement. Sent the broken hinge to Cingular only to have it returned as "Water damaged" "Warranty viod" after only one month, keep in mind the phone worked fine except that the hinge broke. Cingular charged me $210.00 to replace the defective phone while Sony Ericsson fixed the "Water damaged" phone for free in less than a week, I'm still using it and it works fine, but will never use Cingular again, tired of their lack of customer service.

  • many people hav reported tht their phone gets white screen....this is due to incompitable software feeded in their fone....just delete that software and ur cell will b working as a normal phone ANGEL...

  • hi,can anyone plzz tell me that why its screen is always staying white and i have to reinsert the battery but still it doesn't work, why. thank you

  • I have had a really bad experience with this phone. It turns off and when I turn it back on it has a white screen and vibrates until I open the back and disconnect the battery. It has been a nightmare especially for business. Get this phone only if you have no business to conduct. Hopefully this was just a defect and my new one that cingular is sending me will be better. Let me know if anyone is having the same propblem.

  • When the display stays white all time, means that the soft went down, and you have to go and reinstall the soft for the phone

  • uhm i have the same problem to, my display screen turns white and idk how to fix it, please get to me if anyone knows how to fix this situation for me... thank you

  • Hi I have the w600i and for some reason the screen always stays white...I wanted to know if anybody could tell me what happened...and whether or not there is any solution...thanks

  • Love the phone and all the features, it works well enough with Outlook and managing contacts. Great for music on the go. FM radio built in is super cool, calls come in while running to music. Down side is screws coming out of the swivel plate on the first one, replaced by Cingular who said this was a problem. Second phone is on about the 4th month and the screws are coming loose again. Probably not the phone for a power user of 2000+ min/mnth

  • Cananyone tell me the difference between w550i and w600i

  • That phone RoCKS !!! So many xtras ! That`s the phone !

  • speaker are nc pros call and txt are fine 40 to 45 songs or more (mp3) games is 3d very fun to play cellphones+mp3+camera 1.3 not bad at all cost about S180 to S200 cons keypad screen is small

  • Swiveling sucks! Unless you really like to swivel don't get this one. It takes 2 motions to fully open it. Impossible to open with just one hand unless you have a LOOOOOOONNNGGGG thumb lol. Also, it's not even a "walk-man" because you can't insert a memory stick. It has a standard 256MB built in but that only holds give or take 50 songs. 50 songs is plenty for me but don't think it will replace your MP3 device due to lack of memory and battery life. Finally, I don't know if I got a faulty one but max volume on mine sucks. At max volume it seems like people are whispering to me and I have to tell them to repeat. Getting a different phone ASAP. Maybe it's just my phone though. Anyone else confirm?

  • wow ic, so how many songs can i store on w600i with a 256mb of space?? please answer me asap!!!

  • hey you guys, my phone is about 4 months old and still turns heads any time i hold it out my hand. I love the swevil effect, the camer is superb and trust me 256MB is just fine for me I still have some memory space after so many downloads Happy buying

  • This phone rocks! I've had mine for quite a while and have never had a problem with it... Battery cover is fine, I tend to keep it in a case to make sure i don't scratch the phone... My bluetooth works very well even outside my house...

  • Hi All, My colleauge owns this phone. The features are ok. but what i did not like about this phone is its design and flip open. My favourite still is W850. W850 is just too good to resist. Just read some reviews about this phone in other websites and you will know that W850 is the One.

  • I bought this phone, then had to replace it when the programming took a dump. Your able to use the phone as a usb drive for extra storage, well after transfering a file from my phone to another computer, the phone never came back from file transfer mode. It stayed in a continuous white screen. I sent the phone in for a replacement. 3 days after recieving the replace ment 2 screws fell out from between the 2 half's of the phone. Cingular told me that the phone was discontinued and they were willing to replace it with a phone that had less features, and cost a fraction of what i paid for this phone, with no sort of refunds or compensation. I decided that the phone still functioned the same with the missing screws, and now 3 weeks later, the white screen is back. does anybody know what thats about and or how to fix it?

  • QUESTION: I want to buy this mobile but before i'd like to know if I can form the inbox, the sent messages, the images, etc, to accede them by password?? Do you understand me?? Can you ANSWER to [email protected] please :) :) Thanks!!!

  • I love this phone!

  • The W600 mobile is the best cellfone of the world. I never see one cellfone this have many specifications igual Sony Ericsson W600. Congratulations for Sony Ericsson.

  • something is wrong with my phone....my battery died for couple hours while i was walking home from my girlfrewn's house...i kept turnin the fone on after it died over and over again....then the screen just light up n the fone wont start up....does anyone know what to do....or wats wrong... thanks

  • I've had this phone for a little over 3 months now and let me tell you, this phone is GREAT!!!!! =) For those of you who are complaining about the 256mb non-expandable memory issue. Stop crying. Please. 256 is enough to take pics, video and a whole bunch of mp3 tunes. The phone comes with software so that the songs are converted to save space. The camera on the phone is great too. Lots of effects, and options and not to mention, the video quality is pretty decent too. The graphics on this phone is really amazing, and you can tell by the games that you can play. Dedicated gaming buttons too. What more could you ask for? THE ONLY PROBLEM that I got with my phone in particular is that sometimes when i close the phone, it accidentally powers off; but this happens like only ONCE a month. Maybe because I dropped the phone or exerted too much pressure on it. Other then that, I would recommend this phone to ANYONE. Great looks, sounds (2 speakers give CRAZZZYYYY external sound), supplied headphones are really great too ("in ear" design), graphics are sexy, sound quality is SUPERB, and overall operating system is user friendly and the battery life for mine is AMAZING. I can go 4/5 days without charging my phone. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!. Enjoy =)

  • lol...w600 and w550 does not have any diff...jez tat sum countries they call it w550 and sum call it w600 ;)

  • The Sony ericsson W600i is the one i have its a crazy phone i love it best phone i ever had. i have a problem though, when ever i try to take a picture it always returns to menu after i take it, does anyone know how to fix it?

  • What is the difference between w550i and w600i?

  • I bought This 2 days ago and trust me the phone is wicked, lots of great features and the sound quality from the phone and the earphone are excellent. I would recommend anyone to get this phone, and 256mb is enough to do whatever you want. Peace out.

  • Don't beleive everything you read!!!!

  • For all those stupids out there who thinks that this phone is rubbish, please keep your mouth shut. This is the perfect phone to buy as it has so many features as compare to other phones in same price. That is why it has been rated no.1 on survey of "best standard cell phones today" by Pc world on MSN. I am posting a link where you can see it. If anyone is interested to buy this phone then carry on its the best option. It is loudest phone among all walkman phones.

  • great a lot this cell fone!! if u know how to use, it``s a great fone!!!

  • it is like any mobile in the world

  • huh? but i really, really like this phone.. if all of you saying that this phone is not good? then i dont want to buy it anymore.. cause my money will be use not in a good way.. awww.. you mean its good only on our sight but not in our hand? hahaha...

  • ok i undesrtand you.. who ever bought this item, keep it on eye, or more careful of using that item, so that we dont have a sad ending for that phone.. that's all..

  • Well this phone.. i should say almost all the phones have bugs... for my k750i it just sometimes turns off and blinks black and white...... i think it will happen to other sony ericsson phones too... im guesing its a bug... sometimes wont even turn back onto the main screen

  • i really dnt like this fone its very ugly also not meant 2 last long. get the w810i much better quality also prettier :o)

  • If your phone broke, you are an idiot. You probably tried to twist a whole 360 degrees when it only goes 180. This phone has been the most reliable phone since my last Sony Ericsson 8 years ago. This phone is the best I've ever owned. Hook it up to a FM transmitter and I can play the tunes in my car. My only gripe is that it doesn't have a memory card. What's great is that you don't have to swivel it to answer a call. I love this phone.

  • This phone lasted me three months and then fell apart and the stores in said they dont hav any screws 4 it.So that's the end of that i now return 2 this website 2 look 4 another phone but i warn u first Dont buy this phone unless you are rich and want it jus for a while to show off.

  • nothing cute

  • I need some help.I have W550,but is almost the same phone.I was playing some games,when the phone suddenly closed.I opne it and choose to start the phone,not the walkman,and it closes again,after 3-4 seconds.I took out the battery and tried again.But nothing,the phone is closing after 3-4 sec. not to mention that the walkman works very well :D. What shall I do.Buy another one!?

  • im already doing job in sony ericsson advantage store in Sales point at Hoshiarpur (Punjab) sony is sony one of the best intertainment brand in the world. I like sony im already using Sony K-600i... So my suggestion to u please make some change in battery back up... thank u.

  • i don"t like this cell phone.. too much problem...

  • I will like to order for this phone.

  • We bought it and both of us have problems with the swivel arm. The lose screws let vapour into the phone and then the repair folks say "Water Damage" and won't fix it.

  • I work for a Regional GSM provider.... and this phone has got to be THE WORST!!!!!!!!! The Bluetooth in it will NOT work unless you are with in 12 inches of the phone, signal is HORRIBLE!!!!! I got the phone free and would love to pay to get tid of it AVOID IT AT ALL COST!!

  • I`ll be buy this cell phone because I would like this cellphone

  • I bought this phone too, and I don't like it. Too easy to split into two parts!!!

  • i love this cell phone, but the only thing that makes me sabe abt is the memory and no slot card for it.

  • My name is Rafael, and I bought one mobile W600, and I would like much this cellfone.

  • i have this phone is something is wrong with it! it keeps turning off into this blank white screen. doesnt anyone no how to fix it or wat the problem is?

  • when my boyfriend bought me this phone i thought it was ugly but after using it for a week ,i thought the interface was awesome and real easy to use,its been 6 months i love this phone but my boyfriend's phone broke an d he is going to get the nokia 8801

  • To record sound you have to go to menu select the game controller icon. Scroll down to record sound then you can begin recording.

  • THE SONY ERICSSON W600I is a nice phone but the battery cover is real easy to loos. It should have slid off to the side, not up and down, then the hand would feel it coming off. Volume is a bit week but not bad, the walkman part is pretty kawl. the picture and video is what it is. no stablizing feature.

  • I just got the phone but lost the user manual, I was wondering if anyone could let me know where to record the sound, I am trying to just put my headphone speaker against it and record a ringtone, but I can't figure it out. I would appreciate any other info about using it also. Thankx

  • When you talk on the phone with the speaker on your ear, does that speaker count as a surround sound speaker when playing mp3's??? Thanks........

  • Hi... Can anyone tell me how can I watch 3gp videos when I received from another mobile? Cause whenever I received it autometicaly save in sound folder instead of video folder. When I play I only hear sound! I'll be glad if anyone can help me. Thnx...

  • I just have to say that the phone has a lot of features, BUT if you are unlucky, all you are getting when you buy this phone is a headache. Good Luck !!!

  • im a cingular agent and own the sony w600i, it's a pretty functional phone at a decent price. i agree it's not as great as the s710, but i got it for $50, so i'm not complaining here. the battery life is a little on the poor side; but the walkman feature is nice; i don't have to purchase an ipod or anythin to listen to my music. overall, i like. i mainly use it for the phone and the walkman; the camera i'm too fond of, but then again, i have my 7.1 olympus stylus for that. i recommend this phone...maybe not if you paid 300 bucks for it, but if u buy at a good price, you'll love it too!

  • ey i want to say something that the w600 and the w550 and the s710 y think that the s710 is best but the problem is that it dont have a reproducer of mp3 like the walkman but the important is that the s710 have a mp3 reporoduser and more important it have a memory stick duo pro and can put a memory card of 1 gb and the w600 thont have a memory slot and if you see the camera of the s710 and w600 the w600 have more resolution the resolution of the s710 is of 1280�960 and of the w600 is of 1280�1024

  • hello my name is luis and y will go to the units estates and i wanth to buy the w600 but my friends say me that is more good the walkman w900 but some one can say me wath prise is the w600 and the w900 in usa

  • I absolutely love this phone!! It definitely turns heads and the speakers are so LOUD!! I had one issue with the WSOD or blank screen while I was trying to update with the Sony Ericsson Update Service via USB, but I fixed it by flashing it with the latest firmware and I haven't had a problem since! Reception is simply awesome. I probably will NOT be using the USB anymore due to the possibility of WSOD. Since the phone has infared and bluetooth capabilities, I will by transferring my music through those. Overall, wonderful phone!!!

  • i have k750,w800i n my cousin using w550i sony ericsson really produce quality phones love their products n i do like nokia but every time i brought their 1st batch phone the only problems got bugs hmm every time have to go to service centre n the Q up few hrs n wasting time other than that nokia gd n sony great connecting to sony ericsson

  • I LOVE THIS PHONE. Of course there are some problems with it, but I have never had a phone that is flawless. In my opinion it is a great phone.

  • its very good and very acttractive and its out put is too good with his beautiful hand free......

  • Mark Sad but true my friend. The US is so far behind in electronics its embarrassing (sp?). I just ordered the w810i and I'm amped!!

  • you should buy it if dont better die,you can go to the home page of sony ericcson.and see the truth that in the united states only sell crap.they only sell motorola crap.the razr,ja ja ja crap.i know more than everyone about phones and listen to my words,search the w810,and youre life never will be the same,the best cells in the world are sony.just see the w810 the best freaking phone in all the world.

  • Question By Ryan * 2006-07-20 18:02 4Ti$ im about to do my 4th exchange with this phone. it impressed me at first but it got annoying when i had to constantly exchange it. my first phone got a blank screen. it frozed with the background after i used the USB cable. my 2nd phone dropped my call every 30 second or less. there is little to no reception. then it frozed like the first phone. i am on my third phone right now and there is no reception while all the other phones in the same area as i am in has 4-5 bars. anyone got a solution or a reason why i am experiencing this reception problem? Respond Phone freezes because you unplug incorrectly, from the pc and then cause this error that make the phone stay on the sony ericsson menu..... meaning the icon...... i had same problem i figured out myself.........

  • the w600 to me is one of the best phones that has been introduced.the technicality of the phone is great and the avilablity is also great.this phone is great for my every day use.BABY GIRL

  • im hungry i want some pretzels and cookies...what about you? hmmmm oooo woo woo wal mart

  • This phone SUCKS!!! It isn't Mac friendly or Audible compatible. My first one dropped calls all the time, but I finally sent it back because it was randomly turning itself off. I've only had phone #2 for 2 days and it is even worse. The reception is terrible. It drops calls all over town and then it says No Network Coverage. I called my local Cingular store and the guy had me turn off the phone so he could make some updates. Still sucks! Still dropping calls! And other people I know with Cingular aren't having reception problems in the same places.

  • how do i open up the phone. like it apart.

  • Like others have stated, the phone's talk time is poor and doesn't perform as advertised.

  • How do you switch the phone to airplane mode ??

  • And YES, you can use ANY audio file you have on this phone as a ringtone including mp3's. You can download apps, themes, games and all sorts of other things for FREE at www.sonyericsson.com. Just click on "downloads". I've had more phones than most, and this one is by far the most personalizable one. ENJOY

  • I too am a victim of the great "white screen of death" plague. I spoke with SE reps forever and finaly learned how to prevent it. ANYTIME you plug in the USB make sure you are in the home screen and that you don't wiggle or disconnect it without properly exiting the application. Try to make your transfers all in one connection/day as apposed to several different times during the day. Also, let it completely load during USB mode before you begin messing with phone files. Hope this helps because as long as you don't mess the memory up, this is a sweet phone that makes the anything with itunes look like childs play.

  • can you use your mp3 songs as ringtones.

  • Ok i wanna just lay it all out for everyone. I work for cingular and am a present owner of the w600i and i absolutely love it. The battery times are as they state cause i went atleast 15 days without charging and used the phone each day. On top of that the trick with the white screen of death is if it comes up you need to leave your phone alone for about 20 minutes on that white screen and it should go away about 75% of the time. I wouldn't recommend doing tooo much USB transfer at 1 time do it in short spurts to allow it to work faster instead of overloading it because your phone will act up. This is the best phone to own I sell at least 5 a week if not more and has the best reception out of any other phones due to the swivel antenna. If you have any other problems with the phone than its probably a manufacturer mistake. I hope that this helps everyone

  • i would like to know the difference between w550 and w600? they look the same and seem to have the same functions

  • Lane i think that the w600 is a great fone i think that u shud switch n get the ericsson its jus a better choice so u can send back the rokr ok.

  • this phone is really out of this world iv'e never seen a phone with somuch memory and the camera takes great picture's mp3 plays very loud it's the baddest phone at this time.

  • Hi...i love this phone, its awesome...

  • i have a question, can you record your own clips to set as your ringer? Or can you use mp3 clips for the ringer? if someone could respond or email me that has the phone i'd really like to know. thanks!

  • hey, i also got the white screen of death... if someone could email me a helpful solution on how to fix this. Leslie, i tried your solution but it is not registering that the phone is connected... its a shame that this happened within 24 hours of purchase...

  • Havin un use the same port to charge the phone & listen to the radio is really messed up, so you cant do both at the same time. Other than that I love the phone.

  • totally disappointing. talk time, standby time not near the stated times on spec sheet. caller name play works only when in wants to. cannot set calendar date correctly. receiver volume reduces to below whisper volume making conversations impossible. this is second w-600 and in process of exchanging again. this phone needs work.

  • This is a grat all around phone. The caliing is good, MP3/Radio great and Camera is awesome. The phone feels and looks much smaller once held in your hand, I advise you get a good feel by seeing this phone in person if buying. This phone does many things and wont have you bored.. Only cons on this phone is no expandable memory, no mini usb charger.. One os the top noch phones out..

  • I love the features on this phone especially the walkman, but I have had to exchange it three times so I gave up and got a Nokia 6682. This phone needs to be recalled.

  • To fernando, you said that the problem with the white screen can be solved through downloading SEUS at SE website. Does this apply in w550 as well? Thanks.

  • To fix the "White Screen of Death" to this phone just download SEUS from sony ericsson webpage...SEUS = Sony Ericsson Update Service...Download the last and update your phone with the USB cable and that's all!!! no more White Screen ;) believe me...i got experience with those problem too before update...bye...

  • Having a ball with this w600i. I Gave back a V3i Razr for this and am totally happy. It doesn't give th motorola freeze-up and the Camera option a good and pic clear enough for 1.3mp. Sound quality is clear, but little too much heights/treble sounding. But quick menu response and fluidity. Only design flaw is that the unit ends up upside dwn in your hand when you open it.

  • *Hey* i currently have a moterola ROKR. i was soposed to get the sony ericsson. i can send my rokr back and get a sony. i need peoples oppions on this. should i get it. i really like the reviews and the features it has. is it worth sending back my rokr? please someone email me. and tell me. thanx a lot..bye

  • I recently got my W600 and everything's up and running including the software update from sony's website. I would recommend this phone due it capability and its easy to learn user interface.

  • I havent had that problem with transfering music from the usb cable so far as the other vanessa so this still an excellent phone.

  • sony ericsson is the best phone ever but i droped myne and got a scratch on the antenna but .... i still love it but ill miss the brand new nesss lol

  • To GEO This phone is better than the razr since it has both blue tooth & infrared which makes transfering music easier with lots more memory than the tired razr

  • there is a problem with all w600's it is not yet to be recalled but it might. the problem is when you attach the usb cable to transfer music to your phone it fries the phone and it is not repairable.

  • I bought sony erricsson W600 4 months ago. till now exchanged 3 times. all of a sudden i get "white screen". I am really bored with this phone exchange. I personally feel, never buy this phone, this model needs a recall

  • Is the only way u can download songs on this phone is by computer?

  • i have the w600i and i was trying to down load a song and lost the connciton and i unpulged the phone from the computer and now it is frozen on the screen it has the logo sony ericsson on it and stays on?

  • wat kinda games come with this fone? to any user of this model-is transfering music easy to do with this fone? i was first thinking about the razr but wanted a music fone and one that isnt too thin...haha, i guess the razr is outta the question then. =)

  • Its really Shame - No Memory Stick

  • Hey Jenna! the difference of w550 and w600 is that w600 has EDGE wich can transfer 244 kbps. w550 has 8;30 hrs talk time while w600 has 6:30 hrs talk time.

  • I purchased this phone about a month ago & I absolutely adore it there isnt anything that I cannot do on the W600i to me it is one of the best so far (trini girl)

  • I'm glad with it in terms of features, usability, performance, etc. However, it lacks memory and not having a memory stick slot is a shame...

  • call me thick if you want but what is the differece between the w550i and w600

  • I am having the same problem as float_66: float_66 2006-06-18 16:14 R6Vc A "white" screen of death. Please let me know what the fix is. I am trying to update it, per the Ericsson rep, but the phone won't even charge up. Thanks!

  • w550 no edge

  • well my phone is about 3 days old. I work with a mobile company and guaranteed this is one of the best handset which I have come accross which can adequately matchup to a Palm pilot. Even the technician are amazed at the features compiled in this tiny handset. Can't have it all now can we i guess we just have to appreciate it for the masterpiece that it is and accept its battery life Regards

  • there isnt a phone right now that can touch sony ericsson's right now

  • Can you copy Mpeg's from your PC to your phone. What format to the Mpegs need to be converted to? None seem to work for me. jalkamal- Roger's said to my that Logo couldnt be removed (but why would they say otherwise? ;) )

  • these phones are so remarkable it's unbelevable those phones are really beautiful

  • ithink that the sony ericsson brand of phones are really the best set of phones that they have at this time the designs are remarkable

  • i just purchase a w600i about 2months ago and two days ago the phone just went blank.when u turn the phone on it just shows a white screen.can anyone help me how to get this problem rectify asap

  • whats diffrent about the w550

  • great phone really, but the 1st phone call i made dropped after 5 mins and so has every call after that so now it has to be sent in as a DOA and i'll get a new one thank god.. other than that love it.

  • I dont like the web brower button on the front of the phone. Cannot disable this function. Was charged internet rates because button was pushed by accident! SonyEricsson was not smart enough to anticipate this problem!

  • games are downloaded seamlessly with the bundled software simply download files to the "Other" folder the from the phone click install

  • Sorry about the double post but the phone does not have MSN but has Yahoo, AIM, and ICQ messengers (require internet access from phone)

  • wow this phone is awesome! menu navigation is a tad slow. picture quality is great For the cingular network (US) it comes with a TV service also (you buy channels and an unlimited data plan is recommended). the MP3 player sound quality is crystal clear two thumbs up for this phone!

  • Can anybody tell me whats the difference between the SE W550 and SE W600, they look the same and have the same features, then what is the difference !!!!!!!. I've been using the W500i and the phone is quite satisfactory

  • Hey i wanted to know if anybody knew whats going on....basically i was out and my phone just shut off on me the other nite and i cant turn it back on.....i was playing soccer but i dont think i hit the phone...the battery was at 50%.....if u know any solutions at all please let me know...thanks

  • ok! i've herd the names w600, w600i, and s600 are they all the same? please help me get this straight in my mind! e-mail me P L E A S E if you know!! [email protected]

  • to guy with noname you cant say anything about this phone getting darker as when you noticed the display darkening you should have reported it to your nearest service provider.

  • this phone has YAHOO MESSENGER, can this phone use MSN MESSENGER also...i really want to know?? plz tell me...and if so can it be installed using the software that came with the phone or do you have to download it and WHERE???

  • i like this mo

  • I had my phone for about 3 Months, now the display is so dark, I can hardly see anything. Any fixes would be great.

  • is it a good phone to have

  • And where can i get that update service??

  • I have this phone for bout 3 weeks its a very nice phone. It will deffenately turn some heads when u turn it. It sometime crashes and it has a delay in the menu and media player. It i can be fixed if u run the update service,it fixes all problems.

  • hey, today my phone shut down by itself and the turn on with blanck screen durin 3 minutes moreless, and when it finally turn on all my themes and ringtones desapeared, WTF??? someone has had the same problem???, what can i do if it happens again??

  • I LOVE THIS PHONE!!!..i've had it for 5 months and it works great..i mostly love the mp3 player...HOWEVER..last night my brother accidently dropped it in the mop water and now its dead forever!!..RIP!.. so now i'll get the W800...

  • dear anton if you press the button long enough it will automaticaly shut down if you do it slow it wont

  • dear paul yes you can change the cover

  • to the dad who needs help get the phone

  • omg it is the best phone ever its pics are so good it has the best voice recorder i love it but i have to remember to open right to close left

  • I'm on my 4th W600 After aprox 60 days of use the screws come out of the swivel and the phone just falls apart. It also isn;t very Mac friendly when it came to Itunes no way and ACC support not on mine. Looking foward to a w810 with out the goofy swivel and 2me

  • It works great for the first 5 days and dead after transferring some music through USB cable from Mac. This seems to be a common problem after reading comments from many other sites. The customer service told not to use USB cable for Mac, use Bluetooth (which is inactivated). This should be clearly written on the manual. USB works fine for PC through their own software. You also have to close any application before disconnection, or it will fail again. Battery is not as strong as it says. I have to recharge every other day for frequent usage of the phone. Other than that, it is a great phone.

  • I had this phone for two months and all i have to say is that this is a BAD ASS phone!! great sound, awsome color, good reception,nice unique color and not to mention the design. I LOVE THIS PHONE!!! it also has good camera ablilites. you need to buy this phone.

  • I've had my W600 for about a month it. It is a great phone but i just started getting a white screen when i start up the phone. Also when it is up it started to freeze or slow down. What should i do?

  • one of the best phone

  • This is a great phone got it this week and have had no problems with it! Only one minor problem no expandable memory!

  • Does anyone know if this phone can play videos..for example..a movie? if so tell me how! thanx!

  • this is a stupid phone this has got nothing except good sound.. if u want good sound then a buy a mp3 player.. also does not have card slot... I want a phone not a music player...stupid phone really

  • This phone is absolutely amazing. Its a great phone with many capabilies from downloading whole songs to watching tv.Not to mention the 1.3 mega pixel camera it has. I thnik that some of you forget that this is supposed to be a phone. The features and capabilities that this phone has are top of the line. Everyone has there opinion and I think that this phone is awsome to be a phone.

  • It's amazing celular phone with mp3 player beutiful screen and appearance !!!

  • So Ugly

  • hey. i want to buy this fone. but does it come with yahoo or msn messenger????? if not, can it be downloaded to it? how?

  • I bought this one recently. The sound is great. You can hear crystal clear and even in difficult to get good reception areas. I did not like the file manager to download songs and it is only at 128 bps and if you are used to I-Pods this is very slow. The camera future is great and downloading data is a snap. It has TV futures and I have not used them

  • this cell phone is just awesome. the sound quality is better than any other cell phone, and louder. the only thing i didnt like was the cingular�s software. the cell phone sometimes got frozen trying to run java applications, and sometimes it all of a sudden would turn it off by itself. I took it to a technical assistance and they formated it, and installed the original software from sony ericsson, updated, now its just perfect. never froze again, and never turned off either...

  • I want to ask how many songs actually can be "PlAY" properly by W550?And how many songs can be store in 256MB?Last,iszit w550 good or W600 better??

  • Phone is kick ass! I load any mp3's via Windows Explorer (not disc to phone) very good value also, web browser gives direct access to GMAIL! love it!

  • i dream about dis phone nite and day,it's on my desktop at work ,it's so perfect for me,tell me wat u want it's the hottest...

  • yes

  • To Porky... So after u connect the phone to ur pc wid the usb cable...u should get a new removable disk option on my computer. just click on that and there going to be different folders the same one's u have in ur phone on the file manager menu...just copy and paste the pics u want to add......so simple. !! have fun !!!

  • silly question regarding uploading pictures onto the phone. can we upload pix onto the phone and how do we view it? i just got my phone last week and so far so good. i have read about many negative comments regarding this phone and was a bit scared. however, for a simple girl looking for a cute phone with walkman and camera, she's quite happy about it. now, i just need help uploading some pictures onto the phone. can someone help me? million thanks!!!

  • I can't believe that people actually buy a phone that has 2 stereo speakers on it and then complain that it is too loud...LoL...The 550 is only a tri-band phone where as the 600 is quad band and the 550 is only gprs where as the 600 is egprs(EDGE). Those are the major differences. I am a w600 owner for about a month now and I absolutely love my phone. I have no problems with it as of yet, but I do know that if you mess with the OS and upload WAY too much stuff into it you probably will get a white screen. If you get a white screen all you do is leave your phone on with the white screen and so I am told it should go back to normal after about 20 minutes of just sitting there.

  • yea love this fone its cool as it gets

  • had it for 2 months..downloaded about 50 songs from my itunes..but only some songs are able to go through my disk2phone..help(possibly copyright stuff?)

  • is the only diffrence between the W600 and the W550 is the EDGE ????? And I want to ask does the W55o plays MP3 ?? THNX

  • Hi: does any one know how i can convert the music files (rax.) format i just purchased from RealPlayer to mp3. so that it can play on my w600 phone? thanks.

  • It s the best phone the i can buy

  • I am gonna buy it tomorrow. Should I ?

  • sony ericsson is soo funny, so unique.... urrahhhhh. carry on.

  • I have this phone for some months now, and is very good , yes it is bulky , all other functions works perfectly. only the major draw back is its memory.

  • you need to turn off megabass, play with the equalizer litlle bit it will work out.

  • I've had mine for about two months and so far, it's been working wonderfully. I'm looking, however, to upgrade to either the 800 or the 810. Reason being: more memory. The W600i dosen't run on a MMC card and that's the MAJOR drawback about this device.

  • this is good phone.everyone is saying that this is not god phone alvays they have bad thoughts about it.its only bad thing is that it is sony ericsson,at the end "it has great camera ,noisy music(i like that but my sister hates it),nice design,enough memory,and you get that for pretty low ammount of money.

  • I have a question to all users. I just got mine yesterday, and I noticed when I turn the volume up to hear better, the earpiece buzzes. Does anyone else have this problem ? It's making me crazy !

  • I've had this phone for a few months now and up to this point and somewhat satisfied. The phone does not live up to the hype. It is slow, the menu is difficult to navigate at times, and many simple features are not present or are very difficult to use. I only came on here to gripe about how the speaker volume is way too high on the phone when listening to music. level 0-1 is so friggen loud, its like having music on, or having it off while all other subsequent levels gradually increase sound. This is a huge turn off for the phone, as sometimes i may be in my room reading and want a little background sound, but i can't because the phone is super loud even after i turn the volume to the lowest setting and even after setting the equalizer options all to 0. very disappointing. trying to turn on the walkman function in my office and the phone is way too loud for me to play it without disturbing other people.

  • nice features, however too bulky. could have been better if antenna for the FM radio is internal or external and not an additional gadget that is connected to the earpiece; i have small hands and when i use the phone without the turning the face 180 degrees its bulky. when you twist it 180 degrees its confusing how to turn it back to the left or to the right. when you hold it face up and you need to use the key pads when you twist the cover you have to turn the phone upside down again because it will end up with the face down. nice sound. over all from 1 to 10 its a 6. i will return this phone.

  • Hey can some help me with this. I would like to know how do you lock the phone. I don't mean the key pay i mean like how other phones can lock text messages and stuff.

  • This phone had me so happy when i got it... then aftern a day of use and loading up some music to it (mind you i read the foruns and not put too much), there was about 100 mbs of free space on it... BAM WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH!!!!! i am so disappointed... sony ericsson made the perfect phone with the worst bug... i would not reccomed this phone...

  • its not that much bad if we see from its features it is a complete mobile but the camera in night connot give u that much clear result as u have in day time...

  • Camera = Very Disappointing.. MP3 Quality = ... normal Size= a little too big.. functions = pretty good. Overall... good phone.. but not so greed-filling =D

  • this phone is the best phone in the world...no faults this phone has and it is very loud... best camera.....this phone is overall the best...what else can a phone need

  • I have owned so many phones in my life and the w600 is the best phone i have owned. It does everything that you could think of except unlock your car. There is only 1 minor downfall with the phone and that is, despite the daytime pictures coming out clear, the nighttime pictures dont have the same clarity. Seeing as though you dont buy a phone just for the camera you buy it for the phone then all in all I would recommend this phone to everyone it is definentally my favorite.

  • Thinking about getting this phone for my daughter for her 19th birthday... What do you girls think? Is it too big? Is it "girlie" enough. Signed, Out of Touch Dad

  • Turn the fone on silent then take photos that way thers no annoying shutter sound :-)

  • Can someone send me some pictures taken by the w600 camera please? My email is [email protected]

  • haha thanks n e way LarryLar, ps. im not a pervert, the shutter sound can somtimes get annoying.. -.-

  • Hey, some noob guy said that the difference betwen w550i and w600 is that w600 is for North America Market and w550i is for Europe Market. LOL, THAT IS NOT TRUE. W600 and w550i are both available in Europe and America, the diference is that w600 has EDGE and W550i dont has it. I am going to buy w550i, because i dont need EGDE for nothing. Great phone, dont worry about "white screen of death", is happens in 1 for 100 thousands of cell phones. And if it happens to you, simply send it back to Sony Ericsson and get a new one with that problem solved. W550i/W600 RULEZ

  • Hi, my name is Diego I'm Braziliam, my phone it's W600, i love my phone it's perfect your camera, Mp3, dont look one best phone in the site. My W600 is Silver end Blue, i had one phone Nokia 6822, a phone very, very poor in functions aspect.The Sony Ericsson W600 is the BIGGER phone im my country: The Brazil. Very much in functions... Bye Bye. "Diego a Braziliam Boy."

  • battery life a joke ting!!! waste of money.

  • Has anyone use this phone as a wireless modem for a laptop? Can you attain the GPRS or EDGE data rates? I am using a ROGERS plan.

  • Blah!! I'v had this phone for 2 days!! and already white screen... what a waste of money =[

  • i had this fone for like 4 months now since my sagem got stolen nd its really awesome nd its worth it i luv it (my personal opinion)

  • You cannot turn off the shutter, all new phones you cannot, because perverts who used to use them in change rooms

  • important: does anyone know how to turn off the shutter sound? plz reply. [email protected]. I tried to turn on silent mode but it still doesnt work

  • hahah typer272727, the way i solved the white screen of death is leaving it on for about 5-10mins and it automatically turned on, if it still doesnt work then you should return it cuz its gona happen some time later. hope this helps.

  • i've had the w600i for about 2 months and it's a great phone, except for sometime it freese when most of the memory is used up.

  • i have a w600 and when i check the memory status it says that has 236mb free and when i connect it to the disc2phone thing it onley recognizes 24.8mb,,, and i can only put like 4 songs...any help?

  • sup brandon, i live in las vegas and have the w600 from cingular. when i saw your post, i immediately went to the cingular site and dude! the 8125 roccccks! it's kinda like the p990, but has no FM and 1.3 cam only, but what the hell, it was wi-fi. right? do u know if its 802 b or g? thanks man.

  • OK this is where it gets good, hello peeps i work for cingular i sell the w600, check it first off you lame asses shouldnt be buying phones without insurance and note WARRENTYS on the phone are 1 year WITHOUT having to send in paper work. + my friends if you have that "white screen of death" then you should return the phone to sony to get a brand new one!!!!!! me myself i am i s710 owner now the only reason i feel that the s710 is better is the facti can switch memory and the larger LCD screen, anyhow w600i is a good phone faster on the net 2, butin the long run the new 3g phones out that i sell are much bomber trust technology is AWSOME check out the cigular 8125 pocket pc!

  • hey guys wht is white screen problem. pls tell me becz i am planning to buy w600. thxxxxx.

  • what does it mean when it has edge or doesn't have edge???

  • I just managed to get ahold of the s710 that i wanted forever and found it even though cingular no longer sells it. But then my Boyfriend bought this phone and I still have 30 days to decide if I want to keep the s710 or exchange it for the w600. I love the bigger screen on the 710 and the memory and everything about the camera but i also love the walkman and bass on the 600. I also dont think the 710 has this white screen problem. any advice as to which i should choose? plz i would appreciate it.

  • I got the white screen of death the other day, any idea of how to fix it? Please help!!

  • Do you need to swivel the phone open in order to answer the phone and talk on it? Would the mic been blocked? Can you leave the phone closed but still dial out of the phone book?

  • i bought this phone yesterday and it is the bomb. the camera is awsome, the radio is also has a really good sound and the file sharing moves a lot faster than other phones

  • realy wonder full but the only drawback is where ever move we have to carry charger so that shold be altered

  • i was wondering what people thought about the W600 vs the W900, it does a lot more but does anybody who has it think its worth the extra money? also i keep hearing about this white screen of death, does the W900 have the same problem?

  • This phone is incredible. A modern day marvel. I'd give up my first born for it.

  • i love this phone to death however i've had to replace the phone 3 times. First phone i purchased the camera didnt even work. Second phone several days after buying it, it erased all messages, immbeded games & apps, and settings. Third phone the bluetooth didnt work properly and goes staticy if the phone is more than 1foot from the device with line of sight. Is this just the Rogers Wireless version of this phone or the phone in general?

  • to BS i used to have a s710 and it was cool but i lost it and since they didnt have anymore they sent me this, its the same thing exept for the size, and the camera cover but there are 2 huge differences s710 had a memory card slot ad w600 has walkman

  • hi i was wondering if anyones tried both the sony ericsson s710 and the w600 and which one would u rather perfer thxz

  • I have a solution for the white screen of death.... Don't over load your phone with crap.....it's a phone not a computer. The W600i is a wicked phone and works great. I don't over load it with crap. It's a CELL phone not a COMPUTER.

  • paul your a bongo. you can change the w550i to white cover????????????????

  • is there any way to turn the shutter sound off?

  • w600 is for the North American market, where as the w550 is for the Euro market.... w600 also has a few more fixed bugs that the w550 had

  • Watz da different between da W550i??????(plz tell me if u had any answers

  • Tip: Use the night mode even with good light!!!!.

  • I was wondering if this phone has the ability to broadcast the mp3's via blue tooth to a wireless headset. If not does anyone know which phones will or if it is even possible.

  • This phone is one of the best pnones I ever owned. And for a guy who changes phones regulaly, I think I will settle with baby for a whole...she's very user friendly, the walkman player is exceptional, only there is a no crossfading, so there is a gat between songs, The Stereo speakers has great punch for it size....Maybe the memory should be expandable...

  • I got this phone for about 2 months and I never had any problems with it until I got the white screen of death. Yes you guessed it, I have to send it in for repairs. Other than that issue, the phone design is not bad. the features on the phone are mind boggling. The reception is great. all in all I give it a 7.5 out of 10.

  • I just got this phone over the weekend. I love everything about it (especially after the horrible nokia i had). It actually comes with two faceplates: the orange pictured, and a very dark blue one.

  • can you set mp3 or wav files for your ringtones ? and what is up with the WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH is there any way you can fix that without sending it to sony?

  • Yes U can change the cover!!

  • its very bulky!! otherwise worth for money...

  • great phone with great features...sound quality is great..picture quality is also good..memory slot is missing...overall good value for money.....

  • hey people. does this phone have changable covers or is it just the w550. thankyou!

  • it looks like a bongo phone

  • do you think a firware update will help making the camera better? like less noisy? its so annoying. i got this for my gf and now i am stuck with something no one wants.

  • I had the phone 3 weeks and started having glitches. I'd get a TM and open to reply and it would turn itself off. Then I'd get a call try to go handsfree and it would turn itself off. Then I'd get a call and it would turn itself off! Then the back light went out. I was past my 15 day return policy so off to Arvato Services Inc. SEMC Repair Center it goes. Hope I get it back soon. I really like listening to the radio on it!

  • this phoneh have like the worst camera sony ever made. still the megabass is nice!. for some reason the version i tested didn't have firmware update over-the-air.

  • I've had both the w550i and the w600i. The w550i is the european model and the w600i is the American model. I had horrible reception with total blackouts in some areas when using the w550i in America. I replaced it with a w600i and the problem dissapeared. The reason is that the w600i utilizes 25% more cell phone towers than the w550i. The w550i also had a glitch where it would not save my pictures after i took them. It would say "saving" then just dump me back to the previous menu. The problem was fixed with the w600i. Beware upgrading your firmware (the software of the phone). Sony has no official upgrade to my knowledge and I have heard numerous accounts of people rendering their phone useless by attempting to do so. The only complaint I have with this phone is the battery life. It drains very quickly when you utilize the many features such as camera/video/games/music. When I had the N-Gage QD, my battery would last like 10 hours if I played games. This phone lasts around 3. I hear many people complaining about the limited 256 megs of memory. While I would like a memory stick for pictures, 256 megs is plenty of memory for a cellphone. This isn't an ipod or a digital camera, its is a phone....one with great features and a cheap pricetag. Why would you want 2 billions songs on a cellphone? 80 is plenty. I give the design a 9 (swivel is sometimes a pain), Features a 10, and performance a 7 (due to the horrible battery life)

  • yes. this has speakerphone capability

  • I bought this phne and it is excellent. The only problem is that i cant get my computer to run the software in 98se because it only supports win 2000+. is there a program i can download to counteract this?

  • I got the white screen as well... I'm on a mac so I thought maybe (since it's not supported) that screwed it up. but after many frustrating attempts at removing the battery, finally I just let the white screen sit and had it plugged into the power cord. after about 20min. It came back. no problem...? for the money this should not happen! and to bongo: the w600 is not the same as the w550. well almost. the w600 is quad-band, making it much easier to connect to the plentiful 850mhz bands here in the states.

  • ha, had this phone for about a month now, and it bloody rocks!, best quadband phone evar(maybe am just stupid cuz this is my very first phone lol). love the walkman, got about 150 songs in it. the earphones are OK, the mega-bass equalizer is schweeeet!!!. dont like the swivel thingy.. thats like protecting the keypad instead of protecting the screen from getting scratched up or sumtin? but pretty nifty phone. i had a few freezes quite a few times, had to take the battry out to to get it going again, :(

  • Does this phone include a Speakerphone

  • Hey man i dont know how long the battery will last if you run the walkman on speaker but i still dont reccomend it because those speakers are not meant for loud music and they will blow out in time..

  • Does anyone know how long the battery will last if I run the walkman on speaker?

  • I have got the W550 and personally I think its a very good phone....the battery doesnt last long but I have used it for many things and I think its excellent and its never broke on me! xxXxx

  • I had this phone for 2 days. I loaded about 5 tracks on it. Went to plug it to the charger....BOOOOM. White screen of death. I had to send it to Sony Ericsson at my expense. They will fix it free. This sucks. 2 days I had it!!!

  • you use the remote control feature with a bluetooth adapter. i have used it as my mouse, its awesome!! well, a bit slower than the usual mouse, but yea, its awesome!

  • okay... what exactly is this remote control thing on this w600??? how do i use it???

  • The sony w600 has a EDGE conection, gaming buttons, and stereo speakers, but the w800 no has anything of this functions

  • can i set mp3,wav tones as message alert tone?? thnks

  • uh... realdragon my point isn't that it will only play one song, its that it can't only play one song. The only way to do that is to make a playlist with only one song in it, or to only have one song for that artist/album so when you play the folder there is only one song in the playlist. basically i mean there is no repeat option on the phone for one song, there is only repeat for the entire playlist/folder

  • Hey... I accidently deleted the desktop option from the remote control option while trying it out..... Is there anyway I can get it back? (It worked and it was cool!) But now I only have Presenter & Media player.. I really hope there is a way to retrieve it without having to reset my phone...

  • to anton , if you hate that problem of it keep on playing the same songs in that folder , try making a playlist of all the songs in ur phone , and start playing it , that should help solve the problem.

  • uh derick... i never installed limewire on my phone? I was only uploading some pics and mp3s to my phone from my computer... still don't know whats up with the stereo widening option where it auto shuts off when you change tracks. plus i've noticed that there is no repeat option. if you go into a folder(album, or artist) it plays all songs no matter what. there is no way to isolate one song and repeat the same song over and over again unless there is only one song in that folder. the more i use this phone, the more problems i find with it and wish sony had thought through the options before releasing it to the public.

  • What does the white screen of death mean? I have the motorola slvr and I'm considering changing phones and getting the w600.

  • to EcNiv, appreciate that man, but yeah i know how to do that. that's when the file is a .jar file. the one i was asking before, was a .jar file too, but when u download it from a site, it will be a zipped folder and when u extract it, you will get loooots of files, images, ,jpg, .gif, .wav and i forgot the others, you really cant install them just by extracting it. but i already found out how to solve it, just change the file extension to .jar .it was awesome, coz i have games like, call of duty 2, ragnarok and other awesome games. metal slug 2 too! its really awesome.

  • Hey Red, for the .jar games you have to make a folder in the 'Other' folder under file manager (or just under the drive on ur pc), and then put the .jar apps in the folder. After that you have to install it from your fone, just open file manager, open to the 'Other' folder and the folder u made, and u'll see the .jar files and u can install it from there =D Btw I just got this phone 2 days ago and it's awesome, the walkman feature is ez to use, and u can listen to music and use the camera at the same time! The speakers are loud and clear. and the grip reminds me of my old V300 :D overall this is an awesome phone to have... packed with features and it can multitask! i was impressed.

  • Can we lock The picture album or phonebook etc on this Phone? IF so how can i do it? I tried to lock things but i couldn't find it. Motorolla V3 Razar has dat option. Locking Application. I duno how to do on this Phone. Can anyone help me wit this? And can anyone tell me if i can uplaoad da SMS msgs to PC?

  • regarding anton's opinion, yo anton, nobody told you to install a big program like limewire or something on your phone, why don't you try apple's logic pro and see if it will run any faster...

  • it automatically save pics when you take photos... just go to menu, then pictures, then go to menu>filemanage>pictures>photoalbum and they are al stored in the photo album

  • i've had this phone for about 4 days and have been installing stuff on it non stop. today I installed some more songs and got the white screen of death. press power on button and screen goes blank forever with no buttons responding and nothing happening on the screen. after trying to restart it 20 times, i took the battery out and thought what a piece of crap this was. after taking a 1/2 hour shower I put the battery back in and it booted up. the first thing i did after it loaded was go to phone mode and then turn the phone off again. when i did, it didn't give me the normal screen that asks me if i really want to shut down or not. After turning on and turning off 3 more times, the shut down menu finally came back and now the phone is running properly. in any case, if you get WSOD all is not lost... just keep trying =) I do have a problem with the phone tho. it has stereo widening option, but it turns itself off everytime i switch songs so i have to keep turning it back on everytime i change playlists, or tracks.

  • this phone is awsome...but i cant get the camera to save my pix.... the video works right.... help?

  • for using the flash on the phone, go to ur camera, and scroll through your settings... there u will see a picture of a light... turn that on... so when you take a picture, it should flash... works for me... :)

  • yo peeps how is this phone's camera and video compared to the w800

  • oops i mean my phone works fine until 16 hours later

  • I got my phone and it works fine until 16 later. Tried running installed java games and got "Application Failed" messages. Turned phone off and on and whoa... white screen of death. Waiting for my replacement phone.

  • yes it comes with a usb cable to answer the person below me. i just got this phone yesterday and for anyone else who has it... how do you use the flash in camera mode? the only thing i can figure out is to turn on the light, but not flash.

  • hmm i got a question for W600 owners does this phone in the original package, comes with the USB Cable? i maybe getting this phone (with new cover of course, white with pink sakuras) or the rokr E2 for my girlfriend, but of course i need opinions

  • im satisfied in general with this phone, but i havent been able to install any applications. is there any way?

  • Bongo...what i have is a p800 on T-mobile...so tnx :) I KNOW they are the same but....one more time...can u use that as integrated handsfree??? I don't own w550 so I have no ideea... Once again...it's simple...YES or NO :)

  • i think the w600 has a stronger signal than w550, that would be the only big difference, and its not worth more than 200USD

  • i saw this phone today in a store, guess the price 599$!!! XD

  • its the same. all its got is a software upgarde. the w550 hasnt been out long enough for networks to change thier name. its a big fat sony con. its the same. get a 3310. bongo

  • Mkay...so...does w550 have Integrated Handsfree????????

  • yeah it plays mp3's it plays them pretty well actually. All around great phone. peace out

  • No!! Not the same. Phone upgrade, get new names on other networks etc. It IS diferent, it just might not be obvious. Phones are like . . . . cars. Just cause they look alike doesn't make them the same!!

  • its the same as the w550i who cares.its the SAME!!

  • Hey guys...those amazing speakers can be used as handsfree during a call??? I mean...the phone has a build-in handsfree ??? That would be great. Tnx

  • i am thinking of buying this phone and i was wondering if it can play the mp3s that you have on it as a ring tones? thanks

  • Gosh! the unit is good to be true! Nice sounds! the looks! user-friendly too! Highly recommended to those who wants fone that are highly sophisticated but not expensive. Though i only have 1 more problem, i need a messenger for my new w600i! anybody please help me to find one! Agile Messenger dont have yet for w600i,.. Thanx!

  • to general, it wont save the pic unless u choose.. take a new pic, that way it will be automatically saved, or you press back. but if you leave it just like that, it wont save it automatically, i dont know if i answered your question, but try those two suggestions.

  • the phone is a good phone. the only problem i am having which i need help with is that when i take a pitcure with the camera, it says saving but it does not save the pitcure. the video camera saves its videos though, only the still camera don't work. help me out please, or i will just have to break the phone and go to another brand!!!!!!

  • Hi folks... No guesses! Best phone package I�ve ever have/had.. Love the phone! highly recommended...

  • cn this phone use mp3 as messages tone???and cn this phone hold's 2 gb memory card???or what is the max memory card that cn this phone use?

  • I just go the white screen of death on my w600i. It's dead to the world...won't do a thing. Cingular is replacing it. I love this phone, best one I've had, and I've had lots. But the WSOD makes me nervous. I had it plugged in to my computer via USB cable and my computer came up with "Insert SIM Card." It would then just go into file transfer mode, and when I shut all programs down on my computer, disconnected the USB cable and turned it back on, the white screen was there and that's all she wrote. I might just sync from infrared cuz even though that's molasses, maybe I won't get the white screen on the new one. Charge it though the standard charger instead of USB.

  • Hey Guys, I found out how to put the phone on "Handsfree". I read the users comments and someone has posted da answer for it!!! Guys? I installed Disc2Phone and PC SUITE from a cd dat came wit ma phone.

  • this is one amazing phone... I love it... the sound quality is great... playback from the walkman is great... stereo speakers... very loud if u want it to be... game play is good as well... only one thing that's got me wondering... I'm trying to sync a music video to the phone, but it seems the sync is successful, but cannot locate the file on my phone whatsoever, but it shows that the memory is being used up... is there any way I can put a full length music video on this phone??? highly recommended purchase...

  • anyone know where to get a copy of the default simple orange theme? i set my phone to another theme and not i cant get it back

  • yeah i know that jumborie, but i already got the answer to my question too. someone told me. but just incase u get to download stuff like this too, it says .jar and when u download it, it is zipped and when u extract it, it has loooots of files like .dat and some images and other stuff, all u have to do is RENAME THE ZIPPED FOLDER to .jar. and everything will be fine. wooo pee for us. and nazgul, nope i dont know how to do that, but i dont want to risk it anyway, this is my 2nd w600, the first time i got it, well maybe since it was the first few releases, it was a crappy one, now i got my second one, i dont want to gamble and take my chances with upgrading and stuff. its working well anyway. but check the sonyericsson site, i think i saw something there before, u have to install that thing in your computer and when u connect your phone to your computer, it will automatically update it and stuff. im not sure. go check coz i didnt read it that much.

  • Hey "red" or anybody that knows this answer......is there anyway to upgrade the software on my phone by connecting it to the computer? or is there anyway to upgrade it in general?.....if you know please message back...thanks

  • hey .. i am considering getting this phone..but if someone could please tell me if the camera is good..and does it have a mpeg4 ? when someone calls u does it sound loud or not so loud..someone please tell me if this cell is good.. thanks

  • Wat is the difference between the w550i & w600?? Wat would you get better a w900 or w600?? one more wats EDGE?

  • hey red depends on which folder you put it in, I have had mixed luck with such files. If you put it in the the "other" folder and then when you look at the file through your phone you should have an install option available. Worked for me for all the files, otherwise more details about the file might help hope this works out

  • Hello, I own a Sony Ericsson W600i. Iwould really like to receive my e-mail from MSN hotmail on it. I have been trying to set it up through Sony's website manually (as it is not listed on the automatic version) but am not very technical with e-mail. So can someone show me step by step how to set it up properly.

  • yeah the ring tone plays nazgul. and anytime i can help, sure why not. hey i got a question for everyone though, i have some .jar games and when i try to explore them, it shows a loooot of pics and wav files and other kinds of files, its not a .jar file, i cant install it. anyone know how to install it?

  • Hey "red" thanks a lot i just tried that and it works....for any other users who are having the same problem....then put your phone on silent and then you will hear your ringtone through your headphones........If this solves your problem then you have to thank "red" hes the one who solved it....

  • Hey "red"...you said that you heard the sound from the earphones?.....now was it the ring tone sound or was it music that you were playing. Either or if you find any more info about this please let me know asap...i appreciate the help

  • hi! i want to buy a cellphone, this w600 looks good to me,can anyone tell me if this model can be a good choice to buy?

  • hello i have this cell, but i wanna know how can i turn on the buttons of the games, i see a video and there can turn on ,plz if somebody know post it plz,thnx

  • that happened to me too nazgul, but one time, sound came from the head phones, im not sure how i did it. mmm try putting your phone on silent and make someone call you, im not sure if it would work, coz thats the only thing that i can think of that i have done before.

  • Hey everyone, i just wanted to know something. I have the earphones that come with the phone, they work fine, but for some reason when a person calls me, the sounds comes out of the speakers and not out of my earphones. I tried changing the profile to "handsfree" but still nothing.....if you know how to fix this problem please message me back A.S.A.P

  • nope i dont get that failed message when i use the shuffle play mode, but i used to have a defect on my phone. it wont turn on, but i returned it. and now, its working well. one time, i was playing mp3, then watching videos (making the mp3 pause)then using yahoo messenger, i was running lots of programs simultaneously, then my phone restarted haha. well, i wont run more than 2 programs next time. its back to normal again though, which is cool

  • Got a question for people who have been using the MP3 function of the W600 it works fine in the normal mode, but it keeps giving me a "Failed" message when I try to run the music in shuffle mode. Just curious if other people having the same problem? I dont want to go through the hassle to exchange the phone for this small feature, unless it is just happening with my phone please let me know...other than this has anybody come across any software defect within this phone? Thanks

  • my first w600i just gave me white screen everytime i turned it on.This was christmas day too.It kept giving a white screen so i had to send it back.

  • superb.\

  • hey can anyone tell me if the phone records video in mpeg4 quality?? please the fastest i need to know

  • i spoke to soon about my w600 sigh... i was listening to music on the speakers and then i transfered my whole contact list to my sim card and suddenly my phone shut off and now i cant turn it on i get the white screen >.< i jinxed myself i guess! hope i can get a replacement from sonystyle >.

  • w550 is tri-band w600 is quad band

  • whats the difference between the w600 and w550?

  • it can record long videos, even up to an hour or even more, coz i tried recording a minute, and its around mmmm 600kb, so do the math and this phone has 256MB so there ya go. yea since i got my replacement, its been working well too. hurray for us sturg! haha. i got mine friday too, the black cover looks better.

  • tell me quickly how much time w600 record videos !!! tell me fast plese, if anybody here knows. thanks

  • I got a replacement last Friday and the people there assured me it isn't a common glitch (of course). It's been working great so far, no problems. If my screen messes up again I'm getting a different one, but the phones capability rocks. I can put at least 50 songs on here if they're not all super long like Metallica or Tool or something. But that's without any pictures. Pictures will fill it up quick, but you can take them and save them onto a computer to free up that space.

  • its an upgrade pat. well depends on how u look at it. w600 has a smaller screen though, but it has some features that s710 dont have. and vice versa. i see u are on cingular too huh? coz the phones u are mentioning are for the US and cingular has them

  • i have a question i have the se s710 and i lost it my phone company is replacing it with the se w600 i jus wanna now which is better s710 or the w600 and one more question dose the w600 play mp3 ringtone cause the s710. is my replacement a down grade or an upgrade pls let me know thanks

  • to Joe: 256 mb can hold around 35-40 songs? depending how big your files are but if you use up all the memory for songs, since its shared memory you dont have much space left for pictures etc. When you say shut off do you mean while using it to call people or just after its on for an hour it turns off? I havent had any problems with my phone so far *touch wood* the only thing i dont like is a minimized mail icon i cant get rid of ( its not the email icon) .The stereo speakers are great, loud and clear. I've had this phone since dec. 29 and its still working fine *touch wood*

  • i have heard the the first day u buy the sony ericsson w600i it works fine but the second day it starts to lag and it doesnt work that well. Another question, is the 256 memory slot large enough to hold a "good" amount of songs and does the phone shut off after u use it for an hour or so???

  • Is this phone USB 2.0 or just 1.1?

  • got my new phone today. well last time, when i got it, when someone called me, it turned off. then happened again. but when i took the battery out, it was working good. then after 3 days, it happened again. it only lasted a week. then now i got my replacement. so far, nothing bad has happened, someone tried to call me and it didnt happen. about the w900, i havent seen that much glitches about it. try to read more opinions on the w900 page. i hope the phone i got now aint defective, goodluck to all of us haha

  • Your guys all talk about all of these glitches and things on these phones my friends and I are looking at the w600 and the w900 and we are worried that the screen might go white or sumthing. Do u think that it is likely for this to happen to us?

  • That sucks red. I hope this isn't a common glitch cause I like the phone, while it was working. I haven't heard of it happening too much, but I'm trying to find more info. Anyone knows anything, let me know.

  • damn Sturg! i had the same problem, the lady told me that i was the only one who had that too! the screen just turned white and id have my phone replaced tomorrow too. damn.

  • I bought this phone from Cingular a week ago for $300, got a $100 rebate and talked the guy into another $50 rebate since they offer it on-line. Radio Shack has some sweet deals on this one and the razor. I loved the phone at first and the walkman rocks. Yesterday my phone wigged out and the pixels on the screen are all messed up and it keeps going white. I took it back to Cingular and they're going to replace it tomorrow cause they're all out of stock till then. I know the guy and he said that he hasn't heard of anyone else having problems. Anyone have this going on?

  • Vicky The W600 isn't gettin a UK release (I assume ur in the UK??) so its the W550 or nothin.....But like ... just said, its the same phone other than the 600 is quadband. If you're looking for a sexy SE phone with a card slot, have ya seen the W810? It's pure filth!

  • the difference between the w600 and the w550 is that the w600 is a quad band phone and the w550 is only a tri bad phone. my advice is go with the w600 over the w800 and w550 cause its a quad band phone.

  • can someone tell me the diff. between w550 and w600 as i am dying to buy either of them also its sad to see that there's no card slot .well, still sexy

  • I have been very curiosus about the walkman phones and i wanted to ask you which phone was best: the w800 or the w600?

  • i have a se s700 and i find a bit uncomfortable to slide the phone to write a message or call some number.. i prefer the samsung slider.. its faster.. but the sony ericsson software phones are much much better-- when the phone is opened is great beause it�s easier to write sms ..and its awesome to talk with the mobile phone opened.

  • hey eva, i had the same problem too. did u get yours from cingular? i havent returned it yet since im out of town, im using my old phone, p800, served me for two years lol! i want this phone though, i hope it wont shut down and stuff when i return it

  • me and my phone didn't have a sucess story like the rest. when i first got it, after a few hours it shut off. then i tried to charge it and it didn't do anything i returned it and got another but it did the same also. any one experinced this or know how to fix it

  • Can any body compare its sound with K750i...?? k750i has speakers or not..?? Thanks in advance!!

  • i got my phone from cingular and its awesome. but after a week, my phone just died and when i turn on, the wallpaper show but i cant see the options that say.. start phone..walkman only.. i cant see any text or menu. i will return it and have it changed.

  • is there any difference between this phone and the w550 cos dey both look the same. or is it just this one is aimed at a different country because of its band ie US ???

  • hi i really love this phone & i gonna bye it , but there is a quastion for me !!! what desrence between W550i and W600 , i just found W550i here in Iran !!! and i want see what the Animation of SMS like in this model of sony ericsson phone , is any body have a picture of that ?

  • Cingular Offers a leather case for the w600 but there is no picture available I think it is around $21 www.cingular.com

  • The W600 is the quadband version created for cingular because it optimizes cingulars 850 mhz/1900 mhz network

  • Dis fone freakz!!!!!! o da features so cool ony da camera i takde like so much coz 1.3mp too little 4 me... how u guys like bouta it?

  • how long can the w550 record video and sound

  • Forgive me please, but is this the same as the W550? I can't find anything different about it...

  • I had a problem with the camera not loading so I Master Reset, but now I still dont have the camera and now my sound doesnt work, can anyone tell me how to fix this problem. I will greatly appreciate it. Thanks

  • I recently bought this phone for 50 bucks!!! amazing phone just wanted to know if i can find a belt clip for this phone cause its hard to carry in jeans or dress pants...

  • Great buy if you go to buy.com and go with cingular 2 year contract, its -$100, pretty nice phone I think

  • hey guys i just recently got the W600 and I love it. But i also have a question, with recent swivel phones has the swiveling function ever caused a problem, like it becomes loose and swivels by accident or something, or does it stay pretty sturdy

  • don't get it from rogers. it's $499.99 with a sony "FREE" bluetooth ($129.99 value) from www.sonystyle.ca the best of all, u won't have 3 yrs contract with rogers.

  • the phone comes with * Stereoheadset * Software for synchronization * Disc2Phone * Charger * Extra panel * Cable for synchronization * Manual

  • It's nice to see the walkman series. Mr. Tabish Badar is going to get this. after The EidulAzha.

  • im a rogers wireless customer, its now available for $299.00 when upgrading to 3 yr contract. do you think i should buy this or wait for the w800i? need to know...thanks

  • Does this phone support the bluetooth profile A2DP, for listening to music via bluetooth?

  • Another question: What includes the box with the phone?

  • Can I set an mp3 file as sms's ringtone with this phone?

  • to Uchi: the only diference is W600 has edge which is fast connection and W550 still gprs for connection to the internet btw I want to buy this phone but in Indonesia there is only W550 I`ve searched thiz phone everywhere but couldn`t find it does anybody know why? thx for the help

  • great phone. calls are loud and clear. so many features for so little price. i no longer have to carry my ipod and phone in my pocket, now i just carry this phone, it does it all.

  • What's the diffrence between this and W550 is it the same..?

  • In every review that I found, the pictures have to much noise - is that a firmware problem in W550 and W600 ?!?!?!

  • I think it�s a question, isn�t it? No It doesn�t have Symbian, it uses SE Software, but you cam minimize the media player and do another thing while you liste to music (multitask). TS

  • I have an answer,have that phone simbiant?

  • Only shared memory... :(

  • I'm Going to Receive my W600 on Monday .

  • ONLY CON: sorry forgot to include this....this phone will only play 3gp video files....otherwise i'm pleased

  • I just got mine through cingular...Actually am impressed. The menu is quick, the screen (although small) is clear. The camera is decent as long as you have ample light, and the walkman feature is nice. Software is also nice. Bluetooth works very easily. The w800 is better, but for the price difference, not that much better. A good phone overall.

  • Thanks for the tip. IM STILL WAITING! It looks as tought SE will never release this phone on Brazil.

  • hey hey hey guyz just wait if u have no money 2 buy a cell phone.coz this phone is just amazing as i had seen and used it and i think if u once use it then u will see that its simply the best and its just like W550 and i had like it very much and i think u will also like it.this phone has so much amazed me and made me just 2 right my opinions about this phone and show u the right thing 2 buy and do not waste ur money on other phones.its waiting 4 u.just taste the legend.

  • Good news: somebody sold W600i in Brazil for 899 reais, and before it was 1.160 reais, These , therefore, arent official, because SE STILL didn�t release this phone in Brazil. FOR NS: You can think the screen small because you we�re using the S700 (so big in all sizes!!!). Well, I�m still waiting. Thanks, see you!

  • I just got the W600I from Cingular, A couple of things i dont like about it. The screen is small and you can't turn off the Shutter sound when taking a picture. Ive been using the S710 for more than 8 months and i think i like it better than the W600i.

  • yeah, thats why i prefer the w800 too, hold dude, where did your friend buy the w800 for $400? thats cheap. i hope thats just phone, no contract. dude, if u can, email me, and maybe we can exhange some apps sometime when i get my w800 sometime in the future lol

  • A friend of mine just recently bought the w800 for 400 bucks and it's pretty cool. I would prefer it over the w600 due to the amount of memory but if I buy the w600 through cingular I get $100 off. I don't think I'll use the browser much but it's a nice feature.

  • kr8tos, i do want the w800 too, well this or the w800. i have been debating with myself which one to get, well they are all depending of the compatibility of the accessories i want to get. they are awesome! but the low points of the w800, it has no internet browser, just WAP, but the mem stick would make all the difference. i have been going back and forth on the two reviews and their specs haha

  • Yes Red you answered my question for me, thanks. I want the w800 too but I haven't found it reasonable enough.

  • wow someone is named red here too. lol! anyways, hey kr8tos, im in the US too. and thinking of getting this in cingular or just the w800 somewhere in the net. if u have some files in your pc, u wont have a problem uploading them into your phone whether it's locked or not. since u got the pc suite. did i answer your question? lol im not sure i only read it once

  • Hey keyzer since you have dl games for the w600 maybe you can answer my question. I plan to buy this phone from cingular but I want to be able to put games on the phone directly from my PC and I have several jar files that work with the phone's software. Will I be able to do that with the cingular phone or do I have to have an unlocked w600? I don't want to use medianet to pay to dl games.

  • Try *#06#

  • Besides of W550, this phone HAS EDGE. tnx

  • For Gui (Big Di_k guy): I live in Brazil too. I�m afraided, because I don�t know how much it will be more than then the necessary, this phone shouldn�t be more than 600 reais (no m�ximo!). But let�s wait. Theres somebody selling W600i no MercadoLivre, and it costs 1.160 reais. But I dont think this will be the official price for W600 in Brazil, because there�s alot of taxes included. Let�s wait and see.. TS Dan;

  • I am looking at the unlocked version of the Sony Ericsson W600 or the 600i to buy. I have an AT&T sim card on an existing ATT plan from 2 years ago. Do you know if this phone will work on the ATT GSM network? Are the accessories - charger, handsfree, compatible with these phones and the T610 or T616? I have lots of chargers and other items that have the two prongs that slip into the positions on the bottom of the phones. Any info would be great. Thanks - Red

  • The w600 is out on Rogers Wireless right now, if you're an existing customer you can upgrade to it. ITs also out right now if you're an employee. To the person looking for an imei, you do realize they differ from each phone right? What are you trying to do? Clone it?

  • anyone knows the imei # of this w600 (the 15 digits of imei #???) thanks

  • To "TimeSaver": It's too much expensive here in Brazil. I have a S700i and the value is 1000 reias!! I bought my S700 about almost 3000 reais in the launched. I'm boring of my cell phone and want to buy or change another phone. I'm thinking to buy a W600 or W900 or another... What do you think about that? Any sugestion? Tks, Gui

  • this phone is the best phone ever and looks great

  • thanks kayzer, well i didnt know what emule was lol! but now i know. thanks again

  • Well as i said i get those games form eMule that is a p2p software as Kazaa, Ares etc... So u just search by "sonyericsson" or "w600" and u'll find an archive .rar or .zip with lots of games Have fun all.

  • hey kayzer can u tell us where u get games for this phone? i want to get this one too, and to everyone, get the mmr - 60 so you can listen your songs on your car stereo or home stereo and get the mmv - 100 too so u can view your pics and play song on tv!

  • I work for Rogers Wireless. We are getting this phone either early december or mid december, either way before christmas.

  • For sure i will definitely going to get this phone ASAP. Not as expensive as the W800 series but very good enough for me. 80 songs is enough and the radio as well. So it's a must for me folk's!

  • I�m afraided! SE didnt released thisp hone on Brazil!!! I think it will be EXPENSIVE. It�s too much. Just take a look: 500 reais more than the necessary, ITS TOO MUCH! SE IS CRAZY!? Thanks!

  • Aleluya brothers and sisters!!! The W600 is on sale in Argentina!!! I bought the phone today and they are sending to me tomorow, my precious!!! Down here is about U$S 399 with line and U$S 566 unlocked. It's not cheep but finally it's here!!! I can't wait to have it and I will post a lots of comments about it, I hope all of them very good!!! See you!!!

  • All I have to say is that after a week of having it Im so happy with this phones is awsome, the sound is perfect, MEGABASS does everything, My phone does not turn off like dude's below. When u talk i hear pretty good and as well the other person hear u. I have downloaded so many games from eMULE. I love it, camera and video are so good too. If there were more themes 'll be perfect, k700's and s710's doesn't fit it. The transfer between PC and phone is kinda slow. U must get one, if u don't have enough money to get the W800 that is my case. Everything is the same except the memory stick slot and the megapixel camera.

  • You sure about Rogers carrying this come December? I haven't heard anything about it.

  • This phone will be available on the Rogers network and it will be like 249.99 when you sign up for 3 years, about 449.99 to just buy it out no contract. Its not going to come out until at least December 3rd because Cingular has first rights. It will be just like the one from Cingular in all aspects except it will be branded rogers. And other guy is rightdont buy it from those cell only places in like Pcifac Mall, they do rip you off, you get it online for cheaper the you could through them, but have patience you will be bale to buy it from a dealer

  • im just letting some of u in on a little something i saw this phone in the cingular store in nj for 240.00 w/ 2year contract.. and then i had my dad call them and i got it for $50.00

  • Mayb u can try replacing the thing that connects the battery wif the phone mayb it cant connect 2 the battery or something..Try it out

  • To xal: rogers will carry the SE w600 in middle or late november, seeing the date probably going to come out end of november. To lovew600: do not i repeat do not buy from pmall yet cause they really rip you off for imported phones. only purchase phones at pmall if canadian providers will not hold them. To paulette: did you buy your phone from a legitimate provider. from what i heard, your problem could be a faulty part, i heard that sometimes in your situation because of some faulty parts the phone could explode better go check it out

  • Hey does anyone know anything about why my w600 keeps turing off by itself? I read to take out the battery and make sure it installed correct and I did. But it keeps turing off every soo often. And sometimes when i open it, it turns off. Help plz -Paulette

  • hey lovew600 this phone is not available through Rogers but Rogers uses GSM tech, so if you buy this phone at say easycell or pacific mall in Markham/Toronto then you can use this phone. It's all about having GSM/SIM card.

  • Ahhh, loveW600 there is no way this phone will work on Telus. Telus uses CDMA technology. This phone is GSM. Do the wise thing and switch the Rogers.

  • Is it possible to install games on the phone from the computer or do you have to go online with the phone, dl a game then install it without ever leaving the phone's interface? I don't want to pay my provider to dl a game and buy it too.

  • I really wanna buy this phone!!! I love it so much. Does anyone know if this phone would work with telus provider? oh my,, I will be soooooo disappointed if telus doesn't have one. any ideas?

  • I suggest not using Netfreez...something wrong with this site....

  • This phone is available in US for $400.

  • If u 1 buying SE W600 and SE W550 .... which 1 u want to buy ? Which 1 better or nice ? 2 phone like same want....

  • Hey all this phone is available in Australia, i just went in and had a look @ it and it seems nice, spewing bout the storage but. the navigation buttons are better in this series than the w800 due to not being a joystick + its plastic not a s**t sort of rubber...

  • kaizer!!!! mexican dude i need your help. i saw in sears.com.mx that the w600 is there, thats cool.. please send me a mail , im from panama but my uncle is going to travel to mexico , this model isnt in panama yet, so i gonna tell my uncle to buy me the cell in mexico. please send me a email to chat better ok =).

  • This phone is in stock from CINGULAR wireless. also, it comes in orange and BLACK. so please update your mistaken specification list. I have recently purchased this phone from a cingular store.

  • This phone is also available in the US at Wirefly.com with a Cingular plan.

  • available for $399.00 at amazon.com

  • I sell this phone in mexico the cost is 370.00 dll like a 3900 pesos

  • Well TELCEL is good, i haven't had bad experiences, on the other side MOVISTAR sucks and I don't know if is available with 'em.

  • And what about Movistar, telcel isn't good.

  • @dj_ashtray Well, firstable I got that price in SEARS a mall shop, Secondable you find the w600 on that price bcuz on internet sites are selling you the european version W550. but if you go to SEARS you'll find it on $3794 pesos, like $327 dls, but if u want it you must hurry cuz everybody is in a rush to get the new phone. The service provider is TELCEL. luck! By the way i can get it too in a shop name SANBORNs, you can acces the web site and you can buy it at the price I said or go to the shop directly.

  • @ kaizer I'm now livin' in Mexico and I'd like get a SE w600, but I tried to look for it and it says it isn't available. I just can find it on some mexican internet sites and It says It'll be about $4500-$5000 mexican pesos that's like $450 0r $500, that's crazy for that price I clearly get a k750 or even a w800. Pleez could you tell me where did yoou find that price. Thanx :-)

  • More a thing: Im not sure if this phone is really good, and if it will "last" (if it�s possible to stay with w600 for long time, until it gets old)?

  • Again, Fernando: I dont think it will be this price you said, a store is selling with preorder, and it�s 330 dollars. I saw videos and live photos, its cool! I sent a email to Sony Ericsson, and soon I will can post with absolutely sure of the price. Thanks, see you soon.

  • Well dudes in Mexico this phone is already available, Its in a good price about 340 dls, Seem to be a good phone, I've already paid mine, I'll get it in a week, and will see how it works. cya

  • how is that there are 1201 votes on this phone when it hasnt even come out??? well maybe some of you are lucky and got it sim free... but yea i suspect that 1201 now that the performance of the phone is averaged 7.8... anyways im dieing for this phone to come out

  • By the way, this 5 W600 are sim-free, without a contract. All the sim-free cellphones are always more expensive.

  • From the movistar's webpage, Fernando. ­ They say that you can win one of the five W600 and the price of this cellphone is 1000 pesos and also you can win a play station II (1200 pesos). I heard that the W600 is a economic cellphone even less expensive than the W800, if we have lucky this cellphone will cost between 900-1000 pesos with a new contract.

  • To anybody!!! What's the best quadband phone ever??? I need your opinions please, help me to decide!!! My K750i is almost perfect but I need 850!! Thank you

  • Hey MacGyver!!!, you should check those prices better. Some guy from Sonyericsson Argentina told me that the price will be about U$S 900 during the first 2 or 3 weeks,unlocked way. After that, it will be at some U$S 600, a real robbery as allways happened here with new devices comming out.

  • I called last week to sonyericsson Argentina and they told me that the phne is on sale in mid-final november worldwide. But the start price in Argentina is about u$s770 unlocked and after a few weeks u$s 450 with line. McGyver, you should check this, maybe I'm not wright, I hope because, it would be a robbery. Does anybody know how the joystic works in this phone??? It's not like the K750i??? Is it all plastic??? Help!!!

  • Hi, I'm from Argentina too. Where do you get that info about the w600?

  • In Argentina, the prices would be around 1000 pesos (u$s 330). I think that's the price for free-sim cellphone because you can win this phone by downloading a ringtone from movistar's page and they say that the price of this prime is 1000 pesos. I think it would less buying with a new line.

  • Micheal this phone will be avalible from cingular wireless by middle or end of november..so once it comes out you can get it from cingular =]

  • I think it's out... they just havent starting shipping them yet.

  • Thank you. Is it actually out yet??

  • Hey. Where can you get this phone in the U.S.?

  • The other game is Worms and I dunno the name of the snowboarding game...

  • how much mp3 files can be stored in the phone? Is the so-called ACC files that sony's software can convert to is smaller and can store more in the phone?

  • Does anyone know what the two games are that are quickly shown in the w600 animated presentation on the sony ericsson site? I'm refering to the platform game and the 3D snowboarding game.

  • to phone guy: i just wanna ask how much this phone in rogers if theres no contract..pls help me i really love this phone ^_^ thnx in advance

  • Just in case anyone was wondering, the W600 will be carried by Rogers Wireless in Canada and will sell for $249.99 when you sign up for a three year term...also the phone should also be available sometime in the middle to end of November...I know this because i am an employee for the above provider...so if you want the phone with a SE warranty just wait a couple weeks

  • it will be open like s700 (180 degrees)

  • have seen this phone and all i can say is no thanks its big and not very nice and to fat will leave this for them who like it

  • Okey, this guy on Ebay is total scam I think:)And what kind of idiot will pay so much money for the phone? You can already buy W550 for little over $300.And as far as I know, the only differenct between the phones is that W600 is quad. And look at that ebay seller, he has one feetback cose he bouth some crap on ebay.lol SCAM!

  • I preordered mine for $311 (priority shipping included) here in the US.

  • $425 on ebay (us)

  • Hi, this phone has just arrive to my country and looks good for me but anyone knows how this phone i`s going to be open? i`ve seen images that it can be opened sliding up and down rear module (like Siemens SL-55) but i`m not sure, or it`ll be opened like s700 (180 degress movement)?

  • Update- the one on ebay is now up to $610 with 1 day and 8 hours left to bid.

  • Yeah, the coming soon has been taken off se's website, but it does not yet show up in store. And now, just a scant few hours later the page is once again blank. Someone is selling one on ebay; in 15 bids it was up to $550 last time I looked. Hopefully soon though, this is what we have waited for. And someone has it wrong, don't remember what site it was, this one? This is NOT a triband phone, oh no, this is quad baby, containing every band known to man.

  • This phone will be released in Canada, mid-q4, so approx. Mid November to Mid December.

  • I've noticed that the "coming soon" for the w600 has been taken off of SE's website... so does anyone know when they're gonna start shipping these phones out or if they are even officially out? =/

  • Thank you TimeSaver for the answer. I really want to buy this phone and then, I will not gonna buy any other phone for a couple of years. I think this one has everything i need of a cellphone, and of course the important thing for me is the 850 band. I'm from Argentina, and with my K750i I have coverage problems, not because of the phone but, some friend of mine told me to buy it, anyway, I can strongly recomend to purchase the K750i to anybody able to talk without the 850 band.It's a great phone and I think that the W600i it's going to be better, even without a memory card, 256kb it's a lot of room for song and photographs, even more , with 1.3 megapixels it's enough too. Thank you, Brazilian friend to ask, send mail if you have better info or better photos of the W600i. Thanks you.

  • For Fernando AGAIN: If you really need quadband, this phone can be good, if you like it (and its functions) and you have conditions to buy, buy it. I also want to buy this phone, but is because it will not be so expensive and i need to change my old one. Some doubt, send email. TimeSaver, from Brasil, saving your time.

  • for fernando: I am almost sure (99%) because a store will start selling in this date. Its not going to be so expensive, some stores are selling with preorder, which are ALWAYS more expensive. It will be 300 dollars (medium price).

  • hi.. does any body know how the camera of this machine is ? I know that the SE K750 is an auto focus camera with 2MP, but all I can find on the net is that it is a 1.3 MP camera. got any comments on the camera picture quality ? planning to get one or a K750i. what would be the beter choice ?

  • Are you sure, timesaver??? Is this phone on sale in just 2 days??? Do you know the price of this device??? I bought a K750i and I'm cool with it, but have no 850 band and it's not easy to me to talk in some rural areas or when I'm going a little far from 8 miles from the main antenna. I think that this phone would solve this problem. What's your opinion???

  • Avaliable in 2 days, 26 de october

  • I got when SE w600 will be released (it�s true). It will be avaliable in 2 days, 11 hours and 48 minutes. Precision is all.Any doubts, or if you want live videos and photos, send me a email. THANKS.

  • i read someone where that SE only made this phone w/o memory slot and less memory for cingular because cingular likes to cell cheap phones (free phones) because 99% of the people who buy phones buy FREE phones... because many people dont want to spend money... but here are those people (1%) like us like the higher end phones... but yea I am soo happy this one is coming out.. I havnt gotten an MP3 player bceause i was scared i wouldnt use it lol, but i use my cell tonz so this would be great.. plus when i use to borrow my brothers mp3 player.. i would be at most 30 songs haha! i know sad... but yea like the other kid said, by the time you listen to 80 songs i bet the battery will be drained.. anyways im super happy with this phone.. and i LOVE the game mode and how you have 3d and all that jaz, and playing sideways... something the first walkman cell phone doesnt have so yea .. this one is an all around good phone. The other phone focuses majorly on music.. but i hear these speakers are better, But yea this is my christmas present haha.. hope it comes out by then. And if you want more memory i would suggest you looking at an LG, there is an MP3 one that can hold 1gb in its memory slot. ANyways i always loved SE but i always bought nokia (which in my taste... is going down i know sad) I never liked motorolas.. got 2 of em.. and the receptions were really bad and dropped alot of calls.. Nokia has ben perfect, i heard SE is also good. Anyways back to the subjec, this phone is very good (beats the rokr) Sure the rokr has a memory card slot, but the limit of songs is 100, cause imac didnt want people to stop buying ipods lol... the rokr faze ended after the ipod nano came it (i was () close to bying it haha) Anyways im looking forward to this phone. And sry for this looong post lol, just had lots to say after reading all your comments.

  • For Akshay, "This is the worst handset I have used" ??? In your dreams man, this ain't released yet. !!! And if you use 1100, 3310, and 3315, it shows how "grown up" you are with respect to using mobile phones...way out of league. Anyways, Nokia is for novices, the enlightened use Ericsson (SE) :)

  • What date is the w600i being released???? I heard this week. can anyone help me find out which website i can locate this phone??? thanks

  • this the worst handset i used in my life even nokia 3315,3310&1100 are much better than this

  • the difference between the w600 and w550 is that w600 is quadband. i think thats the main difference. w600 also has edge.

  • is there any difference between the w600 and the w550 at all? 'cause it looks like the exact same phone to me

  • Can you put songs from iTunes onto this phone, or is there some special walkman program?

  • MP3 players with less than 512mb DO NOT SELL ANYMORE!!!! In 2003 maybe, not today!!

  • For the folks complaining about not having enough memory, go get a K750/W800. If you're complaining that it doesn't have the 850 band, get a Z520. If you want both, then go get T290a and an iPod and tape them together. You guys are really missing the point of a midrange phone. And to the guy that said that it loses the point of being a "walkman/mp3" player, then what's the point of selling those little flash 128/256/512mb mp3 players. Why not just tell everybody to get a Rio, Zen, or iPod?

  • does the w600 have quickshare on it? on the sony site, it said quickshare and integrated camera were not available on it.. but for sure there is a camera so im wondering if they fudged the quickshare info too

  • I agreee that people look for different things in a phone, but must raise the obvious point- this has been advertised as the 'affordable walkman'- blatantly the walkman/ mp3 part of this phone is the main selling point. Why oh why only 256mb with no card slot- the whole point of the phone is destroyed! Destroyed I tell you! Destroyed!!!

  • Keep in mind this phone has EGDE unlike the W800 and K750. A lot of people look for EGDE. It all depends on how you like your phones, which is why there is no point in arguing over it because everyone has their own opinion.

  • Its not so advanced , because W600 needs to be cheap Walkman Phone. Thats all for this time. Coming before Natal

  • because not every phone has to be top of the line...

  • no card slot? only 256 memory? 1.3mp camera without autofocus? mp3 player- not even sure if it has one! why have sony seemingly gone backwards from the w800i?

  • the w800i could support mp3 so im guessing this phone too and other sony phones can too. i cant wait to get this phone :) itll be my first quad band phone so excited

  • does it support mp3 files, of just songs from CDs?

  • A very attractive design :)

  • Rogers Wireless will be carrying this phone in Q4, just in time for christmas stay tuned.

  • i hope they get some more colors and improve their CMOS camera they are just crappy =/

  • its coming! new colors avaliable.....im just waiting to buy.. cmon lets opine

  • its coming

  • This phone is GSM, and its easy to change from your old phone, because you have your contacts saved.

  • all gsm phones require simcard to operate.

  • just wondering does anyone know if this phone will reach Canada and it's suppliers? and it does run on sim card, am i correct? I'm just making sure, I've visited the site im just double checking if it requires a sim card to run

  • its $299.00 on netfreez

  • well, i think in united states, it will be cheap, but where i live...i�m afraided it will expensive.. BUT I REALLY WANT this phone.. im crazy for it.

  • 256 mb of memory are very good if we cheap want a functional telephone and that it has of everything, very recommendable Somebody can say to me if this telephone counts on flash or light for the camera, as w800 and whatever cost? Sorry by the spelling but I translated it in google

  • im loving this phone.... i want it.;... it�s incredible

  • If you want big memory, then go with w800/k750. The s700/710 can only 128 memory cards anyways. The W600 has internal "256mb" ready to store. Getting a s700/710 would not get you anyway better than the w600, only except the bigger screen! S700/710= less memory, no quadband,older model, no 30hr playmode, etc... On a final note: would you want a slot with "only: 128mb limit or internal 256mb. Think before you post!

  • uhh... Chris, Sony ericsson k750i AND w800i have memory card capability! also, the s700i and s710 both takes memory card too, in case you were referring to swivel phones only.

  • i think this is properly ....consider...as a good phone also, just a little bit disappointment about on this phone it not support card slot. maybe Sony Ericsson should reproduce another model that can support card slot.TQ

  • this phone is coming out from Cingular Wireless in the U.S. next month

  • they have lower end phones and high end phones like the k750 and the w800..its about time the middle-range phone is released. Not every single person needs a tonne of memory...Plus, mid-range users don't like to spend overly much on a phone but still wants it to have functions most other phones on the market does..The w600i satisfies this, more than enough. Hopefully when it comes out it won't be more than $350USD..anyone DISAGREE???

  • i managed to get the phone!!! I got it from Mobile2 (www.goldkist.net/mobile2). I got the second last piece (they only had 2 to begin with..lolx)

  • i think this phone looks pretty kool, compared to the s710, which would be better? i just like how the s710 is black, orange looks gay. but u cna change the faceplates hopefully?

  • I'm getting this phone, no matter what! Does anybody know the weight? Is it possible for video ringtones? (I know I'm a little greedy)

  • Thank you Jayden. It's nice to know that somebody else thinks that SE doesn't have to make every phone a high end phone. If SE is to continue making these great phones, they have to accomodate to all the markets. Be it high end luxury phones, down to the bare bones entry level phones.

  • Well, i think people are getting abit TOO complacent nowadays. will you guys STOP expecting ALL phones which are coming out at this point of time to be with card slots! Don't they have the right not to have one? If you're not satisfied, then don't buy! Sony Ericson did NOT force you to buy thier phone with no card slot rite? Then juz buy the w800 or 750! So stop complaining about the slot thingy, it won't help much, stop being childish!

  • Does anyone have any info on a release date? I was thinking about buying a samsung d600 because it comes out soon but its too expensive and it has no radio.

  • i think 256MB memory is quite ample you'd hardly be able to listen to all them songs you could fit on the phone before the battery went flat.

  • What! No card slot!!! What kind of "Walkman" is that! I sometimes wonder what the designers/engineers are thinkg of!

  • if this phone had 2.0 megpixel and memory slot it would have been perfect. basically converting w800 design to this.

  • Well it doesn't have more kbps, it has EDGE instead of slow GPRS (for W550) for faster WAP/internet access, that's one of the reasons why it's the W600 and the other one is called W550, and like you noticed, higher is better! (And it's not newer, it's basically the same model) And I'm amazed at how many people can't look for information on the internet and ask for people to find it for them and mail them. Gotta train your lazy fingers, guys.

  • this phone has a lot faster kbps(speed) than the w550. basically everything else is the same.. just wondering whyy this phone would be so much faster than the newer version..

  • can u please send me a list of ericsson phoned which has a 3G technology features.

  • well wot u people think ............ stupid........... SEE sony ericsson has announced W600 because of us......... its cheap so we can purchase it easily nokia n90 will empty ur pocket.......no good picture taker like k750i or w800i extremely bad talk time good video recorder pricey mor than a DVD handy cam no infrared good display good handleing very heavy.......as 2 mobiles in one not featuring features as compared to price low market value ugly phone but as we talk about complete phone both phones are better

  • What is the diffrents beatwean s.e. w600 and w550 exept the network????

  • is flash included? or is it like in the w800?

  • it's cool..i am gonna get sony ericson w600.. don't compare with nokia.different product have different feature/function. take a look at n90..it's cool..that's the advantage,..see the disadvantage point..there's no vibration,too costly,no infrared,and take a look at the battery talk time capacity..i am just expressing my opinion.

  • Just foound out the loop is actually the antenna allowing the phone to be in a smaller size. More details at mobileburn.com

  • what the hell is the silver bit on top!! that plastic handle thin ruins the design :-( or mayb not, does anyone kno its purpose?

  • does this phone has an mp3 player?

  • How about the Sound if we compare with Nokia N-Gage???

  • Does anyone know if video ringtones are poissible for the W600?

  • Come on guys, be realistic. The reason this phone lacks features to some extent is because they were making it more affordable. Add a memory card slot and that adds about an extra $150. With the features you guys want you might as well ask for built in air-conditioning to help with global warming. Come on. What other phone can you get for this price ($250) with such features?? The answer is you can't.

  • This is a midrange phone (cheaper), don't forget that.

  • its odd how Sony Ericsson technology of the phone are down sliding..well compare to my k750 and s710, this phone doesent seem to have quite that many features. One thing i can say about this phone is that its got really good lookin headphones.

  • these new phone designs by SE are lovely feminine designs that are ideal for girls like me! SE seems to be making phone designs for girls only since of lately...lol : ) well i dont mind!!

  • oh the cam doesn't have autofocus :( just because of this I'll prefer w800i

  • Great phone. 256mb is enough, but i'm still going for S600(64mb). Will be much cheaper. I also love the way it opens, and reveals the keyboard. Very beautiful phone.

  • Nice phone... But I think screen size should be bigger.

  • Boss, you are right!

  • biggest joke in mobile phone history...

  • Everything is nice! This SE phones rock! but...there chargers SUX man! It is tooo looooooooose! cmon sonyericsson make better charger ports!

  • This phone is totally great.. with 1.3Mpixel and great sound plus with very nice touch design i think this phone is not comparable to others. Well for those who are think the N90 is better than this , u should look its' design first , size and weight . Eventhough N90 comes with cool features but dun u think it is almost fragile?cannot have vibration mode becos of its' lens. Can u imagine if u drop it? Remember.. every phone has its own features. By the way i'm using N90 and z800, and looking forward this model for my collection.

  • And no, i'm not just some twisted Nokia fan. Just a phone fanatic. Alot of sony phones are great, however they purposely don't offer everything they should when you spend $700 on a phone. Believe me, i would say these same things about the d500. Shame it is.... Nokia just won't do you wrong. Lets all get real here.

  • If you guys want a real phone get a nokia n90. All you sony fans waste your money on this commercial junk. Just face it, honestly, nokia has the market handsdown. Regardless of whether sony has built in "walkman"s or flashy colour phones, nokia's built in mp3 player can do the same and more. I shouldn't even get started on the reception and reliability issue. Nokia n90 has everything the w600, w800 and k750 have plus alot more. As a past sony fan, i would reccommend you save your money for the release of the n90. In my opinion, Sony went to shame when i got the s710 and found out it could only take pro and not pro duo? what kind of manipulation games is sony playing? they want you to keep spending more and more money, and you will never truly have what you should from a handheld device.

  • i like sony ericsson's walkman orange colour. its nice and looks cool!

  • I was totally stoked about the W800i, then the w600 came out for the American market. Looks great, awesome features, love the built in headset jack, but I will not buy this handset unless it comes with an expandable memory slot. 256mb is puny in comparison to the 2GB potential of the w800i or k750, especially if I want to use it as an mp3 player.

  • Smart...this hp..when this hp...out..?? So prefect..

  • another clone from SE. whats up with that? change the color and give it a different name. and mybe add a thing or two. very disappointing

  • besides this has 256MB so it should be enough so stop whining about no card slot

  • i hate it when ppl start whining about w800i n k750i being much much better than w600 because of the camera and card slot. well i can proudly say to all the ppl when i have it that i am proud to have an orange spinning s700i with a big walkman brand on it

  • if it also is compatible with bluetooth stereo earpiece like motorola e680i then it will be good. =)

  • No card slot!! 1.3 mp !!! its big!! nahh i think that da k750 or da w800 is much better and too nice!!!

  • better than W800 little brisk but heavy its imposing

  • form factor of the W800 looks much better

  • does anyone know if this phone will be available in Taiwan ?

  • this as cool as me

  • i hav nver tried it b4 but it looks gr8!

  • cheers for that. a

  • ye chadiwrx, it will work world-wide coz its triband... and i was wonderin, does this phone have interchangable covers??

  • this lookz sexy bu guyz can u tell me the expected price in usd

  • If i was to buy this phone will it work in Australia

  • well, thats beuty , the ultimate choice for Music lover has come . From Decades Sony has remained Pioneer in Walk Man Systems and now it has came with Cell phone : I really like it bcaz it has all modern celluar and communication features.

  • What? no memory stick duo? Not good at all

  • goood

  • Does America deserve this?

  • they said this phone can use a standard headset since it uses standard jack to plug the headset!

  • hi there, does anyone know if this phone would be available in latin america, mexico particulary, thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!!

  • this phone is made for Canada and america and the w800 will be in europe i am sure you will still be able to buy this in europe but it will be on rogers and cingular in the states and canada

  • I hope they will release the international version of W600 soon. because I like it very much. no external memory? internal memory just 256mb? I think thats enough for me!

  • not much cop,what has this fone got to make it any different from the latest batch of unoriginal fones,nokia n91 4gb thats a proper music fone not 256mb no card slot. walkman by name only im afraid ,stil it looks nice but that orange has to go.

  • music phone, no card slot? too bad.

  • anybody know the weight of the phone? how much?

  • Will it be released in europe?...its not a nokia n91 but for "only" 250usd, with these specs... ye baby ye :)

  • This phone sucks... If I want a "walkman", I just buy a "walkman"...

  • Basically a 256 mb mp3 player with camera bluetooth etc!

  • How does under $250 usd sound! Now that rocks!

  • hey i can use it in sinagpore???if i order from USA?

  • Well this phone seems to be good but no such memory slot is there so how could you get the music in that who is a music lover lol... I dont think this phonw do much better

  • Additional: 32kbps adi in cd quality with attrac3plus.... check this out!!!

  • Hey!! All the guys 256mb adi enof for attrac3plus format. only 32kbps a song. Think bout it........

  • i think this phone is good...i think it has it own slot...do you see above the opinions the features is not realy sure! so maybe it has it own card slot

  • wow, great phone for budget people, i thing here is an option to use standard headphones like we use in pc/daily use, if so, then it would be wowww, and if don't then please SE, do it now to get an winning edge..

  • Hey unknown below, u think it's a walkman???? well doesnt seem like it has the most basic thing a walkman/phone needs. yep u guessed it right. Expandable Mem...tsk,tsk,think,think

  • si dude......shame only 1.3 mp?????? hey, they call this one "walkman" if they wanted emphasis on the imaging dont you think they should have called this the "camera man" tsk tsk, think, think..

  • better K750i than this one...it hasn't mem slott...

  • Only 1.3 MP bit of a shame why can't they make it the same camera as the K750!

  • Is anyone know the price for this model W600?

  • I think this phone is good. Just the memory isn't quite enough, but I think it's okay. Too bad this phone is just in the US. I really want this phone... :(

  • looks similar to s600

  • guess SE realized internal antennas weren't exactly their strong suit!! he he... with horrible reception in most of the previous SE phones with internal antennas guess they finally decided to stick with atleast SOMETHING that would work in their phones. too bad it's only gonna turn people off more.

  • The design is cute haha. 256MB isnt enough considering it had a camera and deisigned like a MP3 player...

  • kool fone.. but hey no mem card dats dissapointing.. 40 channels are no longer happening.. c mon SE pull some kool tricks outa ur bag.. da design teams ideas seems to be run out... dnt lik da design at all... liv it

  • common guys you know that if you buy this phone it will not be fore music only but many things also

  • Does anyone know whether there will be a w600i or w600c version? At the momment it looke like its only going to be availiable in America :(

  • Great Fone downfall ,NO MEMORY CARD im sure 256mb aint enough for an mp3 based fone ,plus videos etc.

  • No way. Sony Ericsson has went from yes to expansion slots to none. This is a major disappointment to many people. MP3 Player? are you kidding me? 256 is not enough for a MP3 player. Besides, IMHO, the s700i still looks better than W600.

  • it is like the Japan phone from KDDI Sony Ericsson Au W31S

  • hi , 256mb is insuficent memoru for walkman phone!! , need card slot!

  • This phone is very japanese like, i love it, i guess 256mb will have to be enuff until the high end SE phones come out in the winter

  • it looks lovely, but only 256MB!!!??? come one... the price should be average, otherwise its a waste. whats wrong with SE?

  • cuz this has 256 mb its more than enough for alot fo ppl to store music. Its not bad..

  • huh? no memory card slot??

  • for some people 256mb is enough memory for music.

  • i love this phone!

  • 256 mb? No card slot? How can this be a music phone? What a JOKE! At least have 1GB of built-in memory, in that case, the absence of a card slot is still understandable.

  • im the first one to post! yah baby yah!
