Sony Ericsson Z600 - User Reviews

  • my phone has been stolen . that was awesome

  • Is the S. E. Z600 3G or less

  • yesterday powered up after 10 years of storage works perfectly :)

  • best phone ever made. Hundreds crashes, survived extreme sports, fell 3 floor - nothing, and fell into a lake with water 2 meters deep just dry and worked perfectly. Today can turn and can work perfectly.

  • After 10 years of hard using, hiking, travelling and still working exellently, same battery as when i bought it and still holds 4 days after charging!!!

  • Goody

  • My last wish before I die is if Sony mobiles only manufactures this phone again (Z600)I would be the first one to buy it.I love this phone with all my heart.

  • i still have it because of low sar value (eu) and because it is gteat, please update it...

  • i had this phone... it's great still now it's punctuality is very amazing please upgrade..

  • I am requesting to sony company please upgrade the specification of this phone. and don't change the phone style . this phone looking marvelous. pls add wifi, 5mp cam, 3g, bluetooth, then dual sim and add the special keys in out side it will helpful for all.

  • I had this phone and loved it. A friend gave it to me when he upgraded. I had the phone for a few years until it finally gave up. I was very sad because I'd taken some pictures and they died with the phone. There was a brilliant space invaders type game on there too "Alien Scum". It also looked a bit like a Star Trek communicator!!!!! If anyone knows where I can get another one........

  • i used this phone thru my teen yearz with no problems at all but then it fell in a toilet pot coz i neva went anywer without it.....yor what i wudnt give........:(

  • The most prominent feature of the Sony Ericsson Z600 phone is the Music DJ which allows users to create their own ring-tones by mixing various pre-defined sounds included in the package and changing the volume and the tempo. The keypad is also perfectly usable, with keys being quite small, but placed a distance apart, so they can be used with relative ease.

  • I have never had this phone but I do want one. Truth is that I currently use an Apple iPhone 3gs so I really shouldn't want a phone like this one but I think that the phone is very nice looking though. since you can change the faceplates on it I would like to have one with metalic red faceplates on it. That would be the perfect looking phone for me since I am a fan of 2003-2006 flip phones...they had style back then.

  • in this year, at 2011 i get Sony Ericsson Z600 and EGB-10 GameBoard NEW OLD STOCK, not refurbish... im so lucky..and I would still use T68i and CommuniCam MCA-25 as my second phone

  • had this ph given to me 2nd hand. used for 3 yrs, no probs at all. best ph. but it went for a swim, i dried it, worked, then dropped it a day later. no more ph and i have to find something as great to replace it with :(

  • Great reliable phone i have had this phone since it was 1st released back in 2003, only now my battery has died so im hoping to replace it, found a store who do same batteries so hopefully i'll get another 7+ yrs out of it, this phonme was way ahead of its time, where's the upgrade fron Sony, very dissapointing. Fingers crossed the new battery fixes my issue.

  • i had this phone when i was in the fourth grade. this was my very first hone and THE reason why i use only SE phones, no other brands included. i have used this phone for 3 years, 04-07, and it died because it went in the pool with me when my cousin pushed me. i cried when i lost this phone and cried even more when i had it replaced with the motorola v3 that was as crappy as ever. i miss this phone.

  • I've had my phone for at least 5 years(received 3rd hand)but now desperately need a battery. Can someone help?

  • I have this phone from introduction (End of 2003) until now and use it on daily basis. I still have the first battery (but need to replace it badly thats why I went online to search and found this side). I am very satisfied with the phone . Battery life is not as good as you would like it nowadays but back in 2003 is was more than decent, especially given that Ericsson Phones before the Z600 (lets say the T68) where very crappy on battery life. I like most that it is a PHONE ! Cheap monthly plans and works worldwide (I travel a lot internationally) The voice dialing seems to have been ahead of the time as it is very reliable.Puts a smile on my face if I see HTC touting the voice dial on their actual phones. Calendar/contacts syncing with Mac or PC is no problem. Overall a very good investment and my 6+ years of usage a excellent proof of the quality for this early Sony-Ericsson phone.

  • i used this set for 3 years from 2004-2007 end and it is very good set.. i loved this set

  • well the life span of this fone battery is very disappointing,imagine i charge this battery 4 lyk 4hrs an it only last me a half of 4.....

  • my mum has had one of these for over 7 years and for 5 of these i've asked her to update..... Fkn thing is STILL GOING on the same battery and all !!!! and she loves it. Mum is a tough customer and her "thumbs up" is testament enough 10 out of 10 !

  • no doubt that if we talk about its reliability then this iz a great set but there iz one problem that its accessoriez r not available easily in market,,,,, specially casing

  • Haven't had more reliable device since this Z600, it's still in use today, 7 years later, no battery replacement, no overhauling, just new panels.

  • The best phone ive had. Reliable, well built and easy to use. All my other phones from Samsung, Sony Ericsson & Nokia just dont quite stand up to this phone. they may have more functions but they dont work as well, as simply or are as reliable. I wish they brought out an upgraded one with todays functions but with the ease of use of the Z600

  • i use this unit for 6 years and never failed me

  • My first cam phone, brought to replace my T68. Brilliant phone for the basics, some great accessories like the joypad for games and the best phone gadget ever . . . . the bluetooth car! Mine is still very alive and kicking, just needs a decent media player

  • A year later and now I must say goodbye to my dear companion. Almost five years of everyday use! Now the display has gone black and no way to repair it (that damn "spring-wire!"). But i'm still using it, I don't care. There's just no other new models i'd like, and they'd probably break down way faster too. Or not? What should I go for (or anyone else who mourns their beloved Z600)?

  • My phone dosen't work anymore and I am heartbroken. I have a replacement but I am finding it difficult to get used to. I would love to be able to purchase another Z600. Any offers?

  • without a doubt the greatest phone that ever lived. Now bowed to the inevitable and got a new SE but only because the Z6 I had couldn't connect to PC or be charged any more. Goodbye, old pal!

  • a very fashionable fone i had for three years and not once did it breakdown. a fab fone always keeped me entertained i think it lacks memory just a bit well done sony!

  • best old fone EVER! my fone on site for 7 YEARS

  • i found this fone on the bin and does not work anymore

  • I second that.. I have had it for about as long and the paint is rubbed off on the corners but it works like new.

  • Ive had this phone for almost 6 years, and it has never failed me, its awesome! Luv it!

  • can this phone downlod MXIT/EBUDY or somtng mobile chat??

  • this phone rocks

  • The Z600 for it's time was an excellent phone. Massive keys, easy to read internal screen, with nice presentation. Really well organised, and easy to use, probably for it's time, the best phone i've had.

  • Z600... i luv you, i miss you so much

  • Can someone pls tell me more details why this phone is "excellent"? Thks.

  • I've had it for 4 years now and no major problems yet. Battery lasts for about a week. Great quality.

  • excellant

  • i had this fone before "now p1i".... and i luv it....the best fliptype fone i ever had.. i miss this fone very much!

  • i had this type of phone befor and it is a good phone to have whenever you get a phone call tha name will come up with a phone and when you get a text you will a name again but with a enverlop on it

  • Hi friends Can you tell if you can record a phone conversation with this mobile? Does it give away beeps? Thanks

  • Isaac adomako from Ghana west africa so far this sony ericsson z600 is my best friend who were used this phone is very good but one thing is not useing USB called so could you please show me where i will get some to buy becourse i'm useing it now for my computer so please help me ?

  • My phone freezes a lot and it was bought this year without any hands-free or connection cable ,in fact there was nothing inside the box.so i would rely like to know why and please send me pictures of the accessories which i was s pose to receive.In all your phones are cool.

  • My z600 is 5 years old. I only replaced it because I wanted something a bit newer. My new phone (w910i - crap, by the way) has been in for repairs twice already, and I have had to go back to my trusty old z600. AWESOME phone, never had a problem with it, a shame SE can't seem to release any newer models with the same reliability. Am now on the hunt for something to replace my w910i...

  • Does anybody knows where to get one? and for how much? My location is here in the Philippines, I've used this phone before and my niece begged me for it so I gave it to her. this is a reliable phone indeed, and i would want to have one AGAIN for myself but i'm having a hard finding one because it is already phased-out here

  • i say that it is really nice and i love this phone sooo much that i don't want to buy another phone because i am getting it on my birthday and i am going to get it maybe before my birthday or on my birthdaythank you and good bye...................................

  • Battery is very good, lasts for ever. I have it for 4 years now, and still last for more than a week. I want to buy a new one, and unfortunately can't find it. The best cellphone ever.

  • Had it for past 3-4 years now - still get a week out of the battery. Dificult to find a clear replacement phone; newer ones will obviously have better cameras & music. Very few flip phones with a really good camera, which would be the easiest justification for replacing it, which arnt bigger.

  • hey guys i own this phone for more than 3 years till now and its battery still powerful as the first day.each time i charge it, i cant remember when was the last time that i did. the battery can last for 7 or 6 days, and this is the only feature that makes me loving it and dont wanna to buy any of these days new phones.

  • Sounds for z600 Hi 4 people here who wants to put mp3 kind of sounds in z600.. download amr converter.. convert any mp3 to amr.. then bluetooth it to your z600// the converter will reduce the size of the mp3 file.. so its efficient then buy a headset yay.. you have now sounds for your z600.. ;) i stored almost 5 songs in my z600 although the quality is kinda low.. its still cool

  • they say that the camera of this phone sucks... but for me its very nice because i'm photogenic in the camera... hahaha.. and the sound is nice too... class style and sossy... but i wish that it has internet like other cellphones and the games... using cellphone is not a pleasure without games that are downloadable..i'm not contented with the installed games... ITS A MUST HAVE in a cellphone.,,.

  • I own ALOT of SE Phones, out of all sony ericson phones, this one has the best set of speakers and polyphony module! Eventhough it uses Midi format and no MP3, the sound quality and representation of every instrument is clear, sharp, realistic and original. Theres even Bass! Newer SE's such as my newest K810i and prev models such as K700i, the ringtone module sucks, the sounds are duller. Camera on this thing, sucks. Its slow, its CIF, and no point for photography-style. The camera is mostly for contact pictures, smaller screen size images for backgrounds etc, but NOT for computer, printing etc. Its really robust and solid, i think its one of the best solid phones! eventhough it looks huge, its pretty handy but it suits males rather than females coz it looks more rugged and has well spaced keypad for bigger fingers. I especially love the robustness of the flip coz it makes this solid 'click' sound when open so it doesnt feel or sound floppy like most Samsung phones, even after 4 years. I also love the exchangable faceplates to change ur mood (the most retro and one that fit me most was the cyber-green). Not to mention, the LCD is so clear, and it was the best LCD on a phone. Its pretty much equivalent to current high-end SE and Nokia phones. Drawbacks are: Battery life: its decent for mild calls, frequent SMS, but not for camera options and games. Camera: What do u expect with a low CIF and Low memory. Its slow, quality is decent for phone-only view. Size: It may look smaller than expected on hand but its quite thick and really long when unflipped, otherwise, great for men. By time, if u like customizing the phone with faceplates 24/7 for 2 years and over, the faceflate wont stay in place no more (lol), it gets loose, but this aint a problem.

  • Great phone,I'm impressed with the battery.

  • Great phone... simple, great 4 first timers. Ive dropped my phone about 35 times in the last 6 months and still in perfect condition. Also... Great battery power, charge it once and it lasts for about 4 days even if you just leave it on. aWSOM PHONE

  • I have that phone for 2 years now and i am impressed that though I dropped it at least 40 times or so and it still works fine, more important even that battery though getting a bit weak by now is enough for 3 days. Only glitch, the software seems to hang randomly and the only way out is to remove the battery and restart the mobile and the camera is very weak. If you want a phone just for SMS and calls it can be recommended

  • Although this is an old model, I bought one last week, especially because it`s low SAR value. My own health is what`s most important. The lower the SAR value, the better. Pros: - The reception of this phone is very good - The sound quality, when calling is very good, better than my Siemens 2006 phone. People down`t hear I`m calling them with a cellphone, when using the Z600. With my Siemens they do hear it. - LOW SAR VALUE - Good Screen - Fast operation - It`s a good phone for "calling", which is most important to me, together with the SAR value. -------------------------------------------- Cons: None for me !! - People who need to listen to music: "Buy an MP3 player". I have a very good 30GB player. - People who need to make photos: "Buy a digital camera". -------------------------------------------- Bottom line: "Cellphones used to be for calling and sending messages". That`s where I need it for.

  • Nice phone, simple to use.

  • the moblie phone ok but if memory is increase it will be cool

  • wow this is a cool cell phone! niice...

  • this is one of the most depresive cell phones i've ever seen!!! I rather not to have a cell phone!!!

  • Pros: Looks good (beautiful keys,...) Good connectivity options Good Battery Cons Very low memory. Does not have MP3 and sound recorder Weak camera

  • dose this phone have thems?can we send ringtone with bolotooth?

  • its the same as a z200 with a camera but i still like it. i used 2 own a z200.EXCELENT!

  • This phone is one of the best clamshells of its time. of course it would suck by today's standards, but it would still put a lot of other more "modern" clamshell phones out there to shame. Sadly, I had to let go of it. Not that I wanted to, I'm a stick-up victim. hehehe!

  • this phone rocks for all of u saying that this phone is low quality u stink and it rocks in real life p.s.you stink c u

  • Not a very good phone not user friendly at all. trying to find a way to like it

  • Great phone! Even though the camera is low-quality and has little memory it is a classy phone. I have also a Sendo X and a Nokia 6670 and Z600 beats them in looks

  • I've had this phone for just over 3 years now and I still like it. It's lived in my pockets for all this time, I've dropped it a dozen times, and I've taken it with me all over the world. When this model was released around Sept. 2003 there was really only one con vs a lot of pros: dodgy software - the phone rebooted randomly. Fortunately a firmware update solved that problem early in 2004. The camera is bad compared to today's phones, but at the time of its release it was mid-range. Even after 3 years of intense use the battery still lasts 3-4 days (up to about 100 hrs), the screen still looks okay compared to today's phones and - most importantly - the software is fast enough. Definitely not the case with all of today's phones. Almost all the people I know who bought this model in 2003-2004 still use it and are very happy with this phone :)

  • it is not atthe highest quality but is very nice looking and good it roke goodbye

  • the link below will show you how to open your phone... or just read the gdmn manual... dont be lazy man!

  • Follow this link and read pages 10,16 and 17,, you welcome....

  • Really!!! lousy!..cannot hear the ring tone or msg tone..when will the prices comedown to buy another one....

  • Please can u ppl tell me how to put card on my mobile sony ericsson z600....I know that is funny but i cant open it.

  • YA i full agree it have a lousy reception quality.

  • CONS: *lousy reception quality! No reception in my bag in the middle of the city (never problems with my previous phone, Ericsson T20e) *ring tones not very loud, you hardly hear it if your not close to the phone *illogical menu-structure *very limited SMS-sound functions PROS: low SAR-rate If you always wear your phone against your body (which I advise to no one), it is probably a good phone. If you don't, DO NOT BUY IT!

  • software

  • I love this phone. Changeable covers and a handy camera. My fave phone so far.

  • I'm not satisfaid with it. It has some memory leek.

  • I have been using this handset for 1 year. I just really love this set coz it has bluetooth,Ir,camera and especially its huge screen is just gr8 i have checked many expensive handsets but theh have no match for Z600 screen.But it has very low memory and its camera result is poor but i like it its gr8 to use it.But i think if it could play MP3 tonez it will be best of the best. Tell me about my comments my ID is [email protected]

  • its a nice phone, but the only downside is the low memory! i had it for 2years, now i own a w800i... i love expandable memory...

  • i've been using my z600 for about 2 years and i never had any problems with it. the TFD screen is what i like the most. it's so bright and crisp. the bluetooth and ir work very well too. i know the camera quality is poor but i love my z600 so much.

  • owned this phone for more than a year and i'm really happy with it. screen is huge, it has bluetooth, gprs, and ir. hasn't given me any problems so far. only setback is the camera. picture quality is not so good. themes and style on covers suit my every mood. all in all, best value for money.

  • A very pleasant phone if you require software liability - simple and good. The only minus is lack of multimedia functionality, but as a communication devise it does great :)

  • best phone eva made because the voice is so clear and the screen is troumindous so i think they just need to fix the design otherwise is all good

  • i have had this phone for 2 years and it has been the best thing i have brought but unfortunatly after all this time whe n i connect to infrared it disables straight after it connects for no reason can anyone help me solve this problem pleeez i dont wonna have to give up the faithful z600 if someone has a solution to my problem could email me [email protected] thank you all

  • I have had mine since they first came out and have loved it. It is rugged and doesn't drop many calls. (the hinge is loose, but still works fine) I am disappointed that it doesn't offer speaker phone though. But I am in the market for a new sony Eric and am looking at the V-800. Any comments about the 800?

  • Hello. the main reason this cellphone resets itself is floating memory bad-handler. this means that everytime the phone deals with too much at the same time the autoreset will be activated without your permission, sort of like a stereo amplifier shuttin down when the volume is too high to protect itself for major damage. this is a flaw/bug in the software since this phone was a bad seller back in the asian lands... beware and dont buy it unless u can upgrade and service the software by yourself or have a minimum knowledge of ROM dumping and flashing. Hope i helped and opened your eyes...

  • I have this phone for about 1 year and 6 months, it works nice; the battery life is huge 5-7 days, i can't figure how but that's the fact; sometimes freezes and turned off by itself last winter for several times; the camera is indeed poor; it has bluetooth and infrared and that's a good fact, the connection by datacable is extremely slow (70kb in more than 2 minutes); there are a lot of games for it, even a game console which i find it not necessary for this phone. now it vanished from de market. when my dad bought this phone it was about 300$ in Oman and here in Romania was 500$, a very big price for this phone. i've dropped it a lot of times, only the covers were scratched. it's very easy to use, very loud speaker, too bad it hasn't got built-in handsfree. it's normal to hear a click when you open and close it because that's it's string, it holds the phone closed or opened(i hope you understand what i meant). it's sarvalue is extremely low 0.16 which is a good thing. i think this phone is a worth of money. after 1.5 years it works smooth. it's nice

  • When I bought this model Z600, I was crazy with it! I loved the look, pretty cute-flip one. I have this for 1yr. & 5months. Lately, I encountered a couple of problems like the volume is real low (very frustrating that you have to pressed it hard on to your ear). In the beginning, I noticed right away that it has less memory,too bad. It's very inconvenient to delete my SMS's. I loved storing my messages but I can't because of a low memory. One last thing is the camera-it has a very limited room. So far I still love it. Can't afford to upgrade into a newer and nicer version of Sony Ericsson. Happy Holidays!

  • I've had this phone since september 2004. Let me tell you, this thing can survive a war! i've dropped it sooom nay times i can't even remember anymore, it fell in water, off bycicle riding, and it is still running smooth! can you believe that? i also love it's features, the IR port... the Bluetooth connectivity, very handy.

  • Ive had this phone for about 1 year maybe abit more its abit chunky and the hinge comes loose and can get annoying. strong phone however it seems to freeze sometimes. Camera is ok. but getting a new phone now motorola v360 awesome phone.

  • I've had this phone for a good 2 years now, and it still works very well, with good battery life. To everyone complaining about lack of memory, no mp3s, the low quality cam: at the time of its release (Oct 2003) it had ample memory + one of the better cameras available, and mp3 phones were non existant. Early in it's lifecycle, it was very succesful in the business segment. It's been EOL for quite some time now, and I'm hoping SE will release a comparable phone in the future, a clamshell that is slightly more high end than the Z520...

  • this phone did not come with large memory u can save that much picture and sounds why, that is the problem i have with my Z600.

  • Aside from it's bulkiness it's not a bad phone. It has annoying issues like crashing and the speaker connection seems faulty. The hinge came loose after a week, this annoys me as it's not a difficult task to manufacture.

  • m2drsh, midis and monophonic tone files i think are the only 2 this thing can accept as ring tones...

  • i want to know what are all the ringtone types that can be accepted by this mobile

  • GArrett WOng: Looking for a "upgrade" to replace your Z600??? take a good look at the Z52! :) it's lovely!

  • love it! I just got it today and i think its great woohoo jun www.kanju.jp

  • I bought this phone a year ago, and im still using it!! Its a great phone. my dream phone, i fell in love with this phone the moment i saw it!!! A great phone...i hope SOny Ericsson will launch an upgrade for this phone soon!!

  • i had one since it was released, its a GREAT phone, if a phone is what you need, if you want mp3, camera ect ect forget it. I would get another one like that but its out of the market in Greece as very old so i am getting the z520 that will hopefully be the closest thing to it SpeakerToggle, me i washed in in the washing machine, if yours survived the toilet maybe i can give a second try to mine

  • I just bought a used one - and my first impression is great - BUT: the speaker has a lose contact. Often the ring is not heard, thus. If I press down the cover over the speaker, the sound plays, but after a while the speaker disconnects, again. Might be due to transport shock - I wonder if this problem has been ocurred more frequent and how easy it is to fix?

  • I have had this phone since it cam out, for 1 year and 6 months, and i must say it is pretty reliable. The only bad things about it is that the memory is very small, so you have to delete old pics and sms'es to make room for new ones. Also, the voice recording doesnt work because it gets stuck when you playback, and the phone freezes when you are deleting pictures. I dropped my phone in the toilet once, and after 7 days it was working fine again. A great phone, only very heavy and makes a loud click sound when you open it and close it.

  • To MAKEDOMEC No,this phone is not expensive in Makedonia nor in the rest of Greece.That is because it is not availiable anymore!!

  • hehehehe it's so great. I left out in 2 mega thunder, rain storms and it still works ... cus im so clumsy im desperate for money, it's in mint condish how much d'you think i could sell it for? ...

  • Well, I have one of z600 by 1 year and 4 mounths. The good things are the OS is very easy to use, have a lot of features. About design and lights I like very much. Shock support is amazing, since it fall off directly to the ground some times, and nothing happen, just surface damage. I didn�t expect that the sound would be so nice, even with only 32 channels. The battery life is quite good. The bad things was the problems that I had to visit vodafone two times, they change the fone once. After that no more problems, even with some falls off. The camera, I think that you can forget to use, so bad quality and too small resolution, at least is better than the camera from Siemens MC60. Bluetooth is present, but I can�t do anything more that transfer files, and use other bluetooth devices with it, since that other fones we can do some very fun things. About the memory is also not good thing, too small. To finish: the delay with each button press is some times is irritating. About sms the t9 dictionary have a lot of bullshit words. Conclusion: I like very much the fone, since the time that I bought I wasn�t care about the camera, the price was very reasonable, and it do quite good the most importante thing that is make and receive calls. Regards!

  • well i really like sony ericssons, if i buy this one today, it would be my ninth sony ericsson. i am afraid to do so however, because of what i've read about the camera. would someone please email me and tell me about the camera..and phone..if its good or not.

  • I love sony ericssons and was trying something different however i just became disappointed with the camera resolution of this phone.Pity i have to live with it as it is such a mission to get the phone exchanged and get one with great resolution.

  • ive had my phone for about 7 months...and now .. its started sending my text messages to the wrong people for some strange reason. and i agree with the others the carmera is shocking.. and the memory is barely there at all.. it was a cool mobile for 2 weeks.. then i realised i got riped off

  • I have had mine for about 1 year and 2 months and just when the waranty period expired the sound of the ringtones is not working anymore I sill love my phone cause it has lots of nice features but there are cheaper ones now on the market and with many more features I want to buy a sendo x with video, mp3 playing and expandable memory and almost half of the price for what I payed for this one Any way back to the phone I reiniciated it to see if the ring tones came back but I just lost some games and all of my contacts and sms I had on it ( I wrote down some but I dont want to put them back on the phone with no sound, Guess I will do it on a new one) I was unable to connect to the sony ericcson downloads many times, I was lucky only once To end Sony ericsson sent me a response asking me to bring back the phone with the box, reciept I live in Mexico and sent me a 1-800 phone number from Argentina Hello? I cant call even if I try long distance cause its not the same number even if I try with the other country code So thats pretty much about it, any comments and suggestions or complaints are welcome at my email [email protected]

  • I guess no one can be perfect and SonyEricsson isn't the exception. The z600 is the only mistake that SonyEricsson had made. I hope it's the one and only.

  • I bought this phone thinking it's all that. Turns out I had the one thing that won't count towards the fullfillment of my destiny.

  • I've had the z600 since it first came out, and i loved it, but as better phones have come out, and mine has grown older, it seems to have lost the appeal it once had. It looks great and i love the outside covers and themes you can apply. The camera is bad, and mine freezes alot and i seem to be always deleting pictures and txt messages to make room for new ones. The sound i think isn't very good for recording and the polyphonic ringtones sound too old now. I think if your not looking for a big memory and good camera, just a nice colour picture phone with a few nice games and colourful covers, then this is the phone for you.

  • this a great phone till someone stole it from the toilets

  • It�s a great phone!!, super fast wap, i don�t know if in other countries it�s like here but in Colombia it comes with 3 MB of memory, is soo good, not as in gsmarena.com because it says it has 1.5MB, maybe in other places. ITS GREAT, The camera is not the best, but its the only disadvantage, the audio quality is so good. ITS GREAT.

  • Really this is small memory!bad camera!very expensive in Macedonia!But it is so beautiful!!!!

  • I'm curious about hinge part. Is there any (mechanical)prblems? any uncomfortable points when you hang up the phone? Please let me know what you know all about these questhions. Thank you.

  • I've had this phone for around about a year now and I have to say, it is totally reliable! Well, mine has been anyway! There are a few things that I would add to it...For example it would be great if it had speaker phone and if you were able to use different alert tones. These are the main issues that I have with this phone. For me the memory is fine and although the camera is not great, I don't use it just for the camera, so that doesn't really worry me. The sound is great, loud and clear. It is a little chunkier than most flip models. The covers are great, easy to use and varied (though they can be a little pricey.) All in all, it's reliable, easy to use and customize to suit you, good features (and I love the simplicity and usability of the keypad design!!)

  • it's one really wonderful cell phone.BUY THAT

  • Even though it has no VGA camera, mp3 and real tone capability, no video recording this is a great phone. I have been using mine for 10 months now with no problems. Very good reception, display, bluetooth, sounds... My next cell will be a SE for sure

  • hi.. i'm looking to buy a z600 but after reading a few comments i am now not to sure.. can someone please tell my the good and bad about this phone?

  • It is so nice. Be cool with Z600 in IRAN!

  • dear sirs, what i knew from using this great mobile, its harder to use while u r supescriping in the hiding ID service, so u have to set this option for each time u make a call, other mobiles can be set this service for all calls

  • anaybody use z600 can help me, u just buy 2sd phone but until now cannot know how to channges tone sms or message-- u can contact me if u want to help me or we chat with yahoo messenger

  • This is truely, an amazing phone. I have had this phone for 1.5 years, and no problems. The camera sucks, but the infrared, bluetooth, large screen, and features, make this phone fantastic. Hopefully they will have a new model with a speakerphone, and make it a little slimmer. More memory would help as well.

  • This phone is great, quite simply one of the best you'll ever get. even though it's about 2 years old now it still holds up to those being made today. I've got wholemeal bread it is good for you, you know. It's in the middle of the road!!! this is the brakes, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

  • this phone is simply amazing.great call clarity and the thing is a brick.i've dropped it many times and i don't see even one nick on the thing, and the hinge is amazing compared to other flips.it's rock solid.the camera does suck(.1 mp i think?) but hey, this is a phone not a camera. if u want pictures, get a camera. if u want a good phone, get a z600

  • I love my phone only thing missing maybe is the lack of mp3's but other features more than compensate, It's highly durable I've had 16 phones in 5 years and this is the longest I've gone with out the erge to upgrade.

  • hi plz help me when i closed the mobile phone door network is disconnect for 5 sicond whtsd the matter?!!!

  • This phone is bullet-proof ! It has good functionality & features, and keeps charge for weeks on end. You can also beat this phone up; drop it, compress it, etc., and you'll only succeed in scratching the finish (and back / face plate can be replaced cheaply !). Drawbacks: 1) the camera is somewhat lacking, but honestly- who cares ? 2) screen brightness problems in direct sunlight.

  • this phone rawkss....except the camera...just nice for anyone who doesn't use camera oftenly.with all the features and great price it really worth spending all the money.great battery life.almost 8-9 days stand by time with full charge and more than 1 hour talk time.very fast indeed when typing sms.it might be cumbersome at while for who used to the nokia UI.maybe this phone just lack in camera feature and memory expansion.the rest....it all work great and perfecto!

  • iv had my z600 for a yr and a half now and before i had a nokia.this fone is reli gd and u can do ALOT on it but the camera quality is poo and occasionaly it will freeze wich is irritating.also, becoz im out n about alot n it gets lots of wear outa it, the 2 parts of it have become reli loose.

  • I use to like only Nokia phones, but I wanted a change with an other cool phone, so I bought a Z600 for almost 500.00$ from bestbuy, cause I didnt want to lose my number.I upload pictures via bluetooth and the quality sucks!!!! The worst pictures in my life! My friend got a free Nokia with video (you know they give cheap phones for free).. and Nokia's picture quality is the best.. honestly! And if you people know about phones, you should know that with the same quick way you can add a number now on a z600,the same way was 5 years ago with a Nokia!

  • I bought this Z600 August last year and it has been performing well. I've never been disappointed with it particular it's ability to record... is okay and the camera is sharp.

  • I bought this Z600 August last year and it has been performing well. I've never been disappointed with it particular it. It's ability to record... is okay and the camera is sharp.

  • I have used this phone for about 18 months - so it's no longer the sharpest tool in the box - but hey get a life!!! If you want cutting edge technology - upgrade ya freaks!! It's performed without fault - still as solid as ever - no dodgy hinge. The screen has been protected with the flip closure and the battery life is still excellent. I am going to upgrade to the Samsung E720 as I think the 'flip design' works - no trashed screen from keys or change in your pocket - I only hope it performs to the same standard as my Z600 - nice one sony E

  • I Have the Z600 for almost a Year now... Before i bought this phone, i had a T68i. I can tell you that although the T68i in comparison with the Z600 looks ancient ( in means of its abilities ) it is certainaly more beautiful ( as a design ). I admit that i never really liked the looks of the Z600. The camera also of the phone is bad. Even at the time of its release it was considered a bad camera in comparison with other models. But then again at that time few mobiles had cameras. Today it is considered awful. It has a max resolution of only 352x288 and a very bad image ( especially in low light ). What I like about the phone? It has nice and easy menu, a very good and bright screen, customizable themes, nice polyphonic sounds, and very good reception.

  • I have it, Its cool, cute, and small :) but the camera is really bad, certainly not like NOKIAs cams!

  • I have it, I hate it. It's ugly, big, crappy camera, slow features. Everything takes a hundred years when you use it! Man! I could fall asleep using it! Buy the laste SonyEricsson's for example K750i, a really good phone, I'm waiting for it to be released so I can buy it! 2 Megapixel camera :D

  • Very good Features exept for the cam... But i absoloutely HATE its appearence! it just annoys me... other than thjat well its a good phone, with a reasonable price! Well done Sony Ericsson

  • It is compatible in Canada

  • It's a really cool phone but after about 8 months it started freezing every so often. I contacted the local Sony E place and was informed that a software upgrade is necessary to stop it from freezing. I need to store all info somewhere else before taking it in for upgrade as I will lose all info during the process. NZ35 for service + software upgrade cost.

  • I'm thinking of buying a Z600 does anyone know how compatible it is in Canada?

  • I own a great Sony Ericssonn Z600 (Svensk kvalit�t och teknologi) and am very pleased with it. But I have a problem... while in the beginning I could transfer pictures and sounds from the mobile phone to my laptop through the Infrared port after downloading the Service Pack 2 for Windows XP I can not do anything now at all. The only message that I get from my phone is No Device found. Anyone out there who have a possible answer to my question. Thank you in advance. All in all a very very very nice mobile phone!

  • Hello, I just received my SE Z600 few days ago, and it is wonderful. I owned the SE T310 before receiving the Z600, and I was pleased with it. It seems that the Z600 is a very advanced model in comparison to the T310. It carries many great features and options. For example, the camera option, it is really nice to have when around friends and family. the sharp style, and weight of this phone are also unique. All what I can say at this time, so far so good. I would rate this phone on a scale of 1 to 10 a "10," and this my personal opinion.

  • just enligsh??? this s*cks ok ok ok SCREEN: 8.6 FEATURES: 7.5 DESIGN : 6.2 CAM: 8.0 (in my opinion) VIDEO RECORDER : damn! if the z600 will have a video recorder will be great! THE POSITIVE: screen , sound , aplicacions , signal , features NEUTRAL: the cam , the size , THE NEGATIVE: The memory , the durability (the mine its in the factory cuz have a problems) REMEMBER: the cam is just for fun not for take it if you go to france!!

  • At first when I got this phone i thought it was nice and i liked it also bcuz it was light. It works when you make calls but taking pictures just sucks. It takes nasty pics and I can't even take so much pics without me erasing pics. I guess this phone is not too great after all. I can't wait for my contract to finish and get a different phone.

  • You guys don't know quality when you see it. You braggers just want to show off with your newest gadget f.phones that also make lousy pictures - even the new 2mp ones. About a year ago this phone had about the best professional reviews on usability, connection, screenquality, durability, etc. I still use it. I know, it's big and the camera sucks, but who cares: phoning and mailing and such work great.

  • sorry to say bt this fone sucks and sony E sucks.how could they have made somthing so stupid,im regreting badly,the camera sucks.and mine keeps on hooking and the message tone sucks.the only thing good bout is the ringtones and its not worth it

  • the camera is the worst realy but the ringtones are fantastic

  • Yes the camera sux and yes the fone doesnt have a lot of space but if you want a good camera buy a frickin digital one cheapskate! I think this phone is brilliant - ive had it for over a year and the only one id consider swapping it for is the z800 which is the updated version! The phone works and it does everything id ever need...brilliant.

  • Z600 is the worst phone i've ever seen. My screen went flat bearly after a year of purchase.

  • Z600 is great, I have had no problem what so ever with the phone.A mobile phone can never come instead of ordinary camera, so if you want to take a good photo buy a camera, also if you need a data organiser, buy a palm. To you all have a nice day.

  • just bought one of ebay, wanting to no if you can change text alert tone, the ones in there are crap sounds, can anyone tell me please, thanks

  • great phone at a great price, i find it very hard to beat!! id recommend.

  • It's ok as a phone, but poor storage - it fills too quickly! Very low quality camera. New covers cost too much. Out of date, get the new model.

  • I'm deciding between SE Z600 and Nokia 7260. Can anyone raccomend which one to go for?

  • i own a SE z600 myself. It's great ant the camera's quality is even better than the on on the siemens sx1. im fully satisfied with this mobile. i guess my next phone will be SE z1010, which is also the same style and type, but supports mpeg4 and mp3. well, maybe a little shortage of memory, but it's enough for me ;) yes, it's bluetooth supports siemens sx1. i don't event try to compare SE to nokia, cause nokia's phones are very pricy, but they offer MUCH LESS value for money... siemens are cheaper, but less reliable.. I think SE rules :)

  • z 600 - very bad cell phone. I used it for 1 year... I'll never bye again something from SonyEricsson. Camera iz very bad too :( Too many problems :( Before I use Ericsson W 28, Ericsson T 10, It was something wrong with all of them :(... Maybe Nokia 6101? or Motorola V 600?..!

  • hi i'm about to buy a z600 and i was wondering, does it's bluetooth support nokia and siemens phones cause all my friends have nokia and it will be great to share everything, also, does this phone support wav files ????????? plz answer so i could make a decision quikly thanks all

  • hi, my cuestion is; what fone is better??? this (z600)? or that....v600 fron motorola?

  • I have a friend who use to have this cellphone...it stinks, like the screen is extra wiggly, and the camera suk

  • it is unique

  • the phone is weird...it's inside out....

  • Pls send me one

  • I've had this phone a year and about to upgrade to maybe a Nokia. I have to real problems with it besides the memory isn't very good and had to delete lots of photos in order to receive/store more. The camera was my main gripe, it became quite grainy picture quality after about 6 months and i stopped using after that as I couldnt take a decent picture in daylight so I didnt attempt it at night. If you want cool features and not to bothered about the camera go for it. if not I'd pick a different phone.

  • its the worst ever phone.the camera???it takes very nice pictures like you are from another planet like an alien...the worst!!!! don't bye it don;t do this please.................. :"/

  • fantastic!!!

  • i just bought one, if it had radio, it would have been the best in town ..

  • get a t630 instead. a better phone and about the same pricing

  • i like this

  • Ugliest Sony-Ericsson, the open-close mechanism is too big and visible, the buttons are big and ugly. Buy Motorola V600.

  • if i dont get this handset i will be making the greatest mistake of my life.

  • I have an idea of additional technology to your G.S.M handset product which would be highly markatable in NIGERIAN market. It would be of security usage. If interested, let's agree and talk Here is my phone/e- mail address phoneNO[2348036169694.

  • A great phone!!! Perfect design. Both screen are clear. The menu is brilliant and easy to use. The camera is average but could have been improved. The only bad thing about this GREAT phone is that it only has 2Mb memory.

  • Ugly looking phone from the inside out, picture quality is absolutely awful, the buttons itself make the phone look cheap, only good thing i found was that it has Themes and Bluetooth/Infrared

  • It got the taste and style that can spin anybody around

  • It's very unique

  • there is nothing wrong with this phone stop moaning. im due an upgrade so im gettin s700. gettin rid of z600.

  • I LOVE this mobile! Al my friends have him but I cant aford him... :( I hope that I will get this mobile one day! Love from leonie (16) Holland

  • There is no problem

  • hey gustavo, how much are you selling it for? you in Canada or the US?

  • I got this phone a month ago and got rid of it for the T630 just 3 weeks l8r. The phone is fat, has no memory and the camera is terrible. the phone stalls so u have to either wait for ages or take out the battery and start again. accessing things is slow and its complicated abd slow to either dial a number. if the phone is in ur pocket u can't hear it and if its on vibrate it isn't strong enough. For now im using my old Nokia 5210 because ive neve had a problem with it and its INDESTRUCTABLE!!!!!

  • This FON is the best i've ever had. It takes actually good picture. Friendly to use and IT HAS EVERYTHING I NEED. BEST BUY !!!!

  • dis fone rulz believe bec i have many fone that i have been encounter like my first is alcatel the nokia 3210 then 8210,5210,sone ericsson t68i,t310,nokia 3100,3200,7650,7250i,3650 and sony ericsson z600 sor far dis is the best fone i ever had thats all.... thanx im from the philippines!!!!!!

  • good day sir, please how can i manually compose a polyhonic ring tone on my new hand set

  • where can i find a manual of the z600?Help!

  • camera sucks

  • samsung cant share any pictures to different mobile phones ... it suck . much prefer sony ericsson , nokia , siemens , motorola.

  • Nice phone. I like it, but the memory is so poor. It's not enought. I want to buy EGB-10, but can't find it...

  • dis fone rox i will buy dis fone!!!! great fone ever!!! sony ericsson rulz!!!!

  • this fone rulz!!!!

  • This phone sucks. It is dumb..... it is not easy to make a call, have to take many steps to find a number. It has a speaker to play music but cannot be used as a speaker phone. Limited capacity for message storage. I used to have a Nokia, easy to dial with one touch dial, store a bunch of messages without asking me to delete any. In other words MUCH MORE PRACTICAL. Ohh... the flip is shitty too, or my phone is defective... some times when I open or close it shuts down or restart the software. I hate this phone, i'm selling it if someone wants it (2 months old).

  • please let me know where to download the user manuel for the se z600.

  • i will like to have this phone and i want to kown the last asking price and how is the payment going to be made to you people.i will look over to here from you people. thanks. GODWIN BASSEY

  • my phone came bsck wit all its memory intact d only thig is it took 7 weeks but sony ercison Z600 is still d best phone o the market

  • P400 simpily sux. Whats the point of rotating here and there? More mechanism = more wearing off. Z600 have bluetooth, smart phonebook, external display, able to share pictures, ringtones, themes etc(..through infrared and bluetooth), can the P400 do it? No. Poor loney samsung living in the world of their own.

  • for me SAMSUNG P400 is still the best flip fone! bec. it has rotating top screen and can rotate the camera also have great pictures display!! p400 RULZ!!!!!

  • amazing phone just very big when it flips open had it for 3 months cause it stopped chargining and sent it abroab its been 6 week and it hasn coem yet :(

  • this phone is gr8 u should definetly buy it the only thing is tat the battery stoped workin for me after bout 3 months but tat can be fixed for free since its under warranty

  • has the greatest mini golf game available i tried the bluetooth. it blew me away. see for your self

  • i'm using it right now. the shape is great, and the quality of picture also awesome. sadly this thing sometimes will "hang" (getting no response) will make you decide to pull out the battery and turn it on again. i guess you should think twice to buy it.

  • I have had a one of these for about a month now and could not recommend it less. Originally when I got the phone it would hang (not respond for ages when adding contacts and once while turning it on). I got the phone replaced in case it was a defective handset but still have similiar problems (although not as often as before). So my recommendation would be to stay away from it !

  • well, i have used this phone for more than 6 months..so far i find the fuctions are superb. bluetooth,infrared,gprs and so on, brilliant. the only thing that make this phone not so perfect is the photos are not that good quality, but the picture size is definately bigger than samsung E700. Ringtone is definately the best as this phone can save midi files which downloaded from internet as the default tone. cover is cool since it is exchangable. Grab it

  • hi im not quite sure if this phone would b bettr than the inno90 (from Hk..and want to bring it to Australia to use) plz help I'v heard that the Inno90 (from an user) that the MMS did not work wen brought bak to Australia..and Australia is not familiar wif this brand but is familiar with the sony ericsson pls advise.

  • I have no opinon , I would like to buy one !

  • one of the greatest gsm handsets i've come across in a long while... great inovative design... the top in terms of functionality, i do believe SE is the leader in that field... have been usin it for about 7 months now an no problems yet...seemless synching over bluetooth with ma laptop as well as many other useful features... it's definately a good buy

  • which is better display,design and features samsung P400 or sony ericsson Z600? txt me 09276259711 from philippines tnx!!!

  • How can I bare a certain phone number??

  • Good Style but screen not too smooth

  • I got the Sony Ericsson Z600 a couple weeks ago. Great Reception, haven't been disconnected once!!! Brilliant display and user friendly. Very lightweight yet durable. Cool ringtones. I love it. I'm still trying to figure out all the features. It has bluetooth and cool games. Give it a try!!!

  • i have use nokia & ericsson before, but i have alway love Ericsson 'cause their technology... anyway, just got this Z600 for $149 Australian dollar and also got the BlueTooth headset for free too.. all in all, quite a good bargain for me for something like this.. but now i am looking for the data cable or maybe the wireless bluetooth USB data transfer... the price is very expansive for those... around $100 buck... hmmm... all in all, a damm good fone.

  • i just bought this fone and it is a reallly kool fone. The desgin is unique and it has some kool stuff. I had nokia, motorola, samsung but overall this is one of the best fones and the camera could be compared to the samsung e715. This website i forgot compares e715 pic and z600 and they were almost the same.

  • The Sony ericsson Z600 is by far the best GSM phone i have come across. I have used 3 brans earlier and i ave come back to Sony Ericsson. My earlier Sony Ericsson phones were...T310 and T610. I have used Nokia and Motorolla phones. Though they too are good in their respect, i personally have found Sony Ericsson phnes and especially the Z600(the best camera phone in the Sony ericsson group) really good.

  • is the camera quality good?

  • superb!!!!!!!!!!

  • does this have video play back?

  • how can i send a jpg photo to my phone.....by my email address having problems in the photo format..... please help me......

  • This phone is good but it's a bit �fat�. I had it for 3 months and now i want to buy 7600 or samsung e 715. But if you don't mind fatness than buy it its great .

  • looks big and square. surely sony have the technology to put that much information into a smaller phone?

  • I've been using the Z600 for six months, and while the display and camera is not quite as good at the Mot V525, The bluetooth headset (HBH-65) works well with the mobile. I've tried the T610 and 630 but found the central key got very loose and needed to be serviced a few times until I gave up and got the Z600.

  • well done!

  • Does this phone has an photo ID? thanks

  • I can`t decide eather to buy samsung E700 or Z600. Can someboidy help me please? thanks

  • I think the phone is cool

  • I m using this phone from last 5 months, its a great phone but planning to get k700i. k700 is even better compared to display and sound. well SE rocks. I dont like nokia as they still have 4096 color disp. bye

  • this phone is very slow in the menu and the camera is crap samsung e700 better

  • can this phone play mp3 and set mp3 as ringtone?

  • This fone has a verry bad camera and display, the display are mutch better then the other se phones exept k700 and s700, s� gett another mobilphone instead. just my opinion!

  • i think the phone is cool

  • I love this phone!!!

  • i meant the Z600 sorry so tired, between the Z600 and the T630

  • Im want a phone soon and i dont know what one to get, im thinking the SE V600 or the SE T630 what should i get?

  • If it only could have been a bit thiner !!!!!

  • great looing phone loads of functiona thatsall that matters ,

  • does this also have the music cutoff device or isnt it a music player .....i offered the idea to one of directors at 3 that phones with music option should really have a cut off option so you dont ,miss call , a good idea i think any way this phone is great ill definitely be having one great size shape and option s on it excellent

  • This phone costs 315euro in Belgium, which is about the same in dollars :( Tho I will probbaly get it anyway XD www.neopets.com bye

  • Hei, I am thinking of buying a Z600 for myself but I am a bit reluctant as there are also other options within the same company such as T610 (a lot cheaper!) or T630 (same prise!) and Motorola V525 or a Vodafone Live Sharp or Panasonic X60. Is there anyone with ideas and suggestions? What about the users of the Z600? What do you say? Dankuwel = )

  • Sony Ericsson is the best

  • hi..guys...nice reading so many opinions here. I've been using mobile phones since 1991. Till date I have used 18 phones. And one, guess u guys haven't heard b4....Kokusai? guess wat, those days its' handfree car-kit cost the same as the SEZ600 and the set 3 times of SEZ600. Well, I have used Moto(4), Nokia(2), Actl(3), kokusai(1), NEC(2), Kyocera(1) and ericsson (6). Still ericsson rules. am using a T29s, already 4 yrs and its' original batt still runs with it....!! planning to get a SEZ600 this week....hate 2 part with my t29...Korean phone?..naaa...just like korean cars, 1 platform, 1 engine...6 models. with low tech giz...

  • to big...

  • I just got this phone two days ago in Alhambra, CA. IT's sooo awesome!! The size might be a little chunky compared to the other flip phones out there, but the features within it are excellent. BTW, I got my Z600 @ an Asian cell phone place for FREE (after rebate)!! Cash paid up front: $64 - 64 rebate = FREE!!

  • I just got my phone this week z600 and love it. The best part are the different profiles that it has ,home, office, outdoors etc. each on has different settings. Aslo the Mr. DJ wicked. For someone that write and sings this is a great feature for me to have. I can mini compose a tune and store it for later use. In additon the reception is amazing. I use it in the bastment all the time and it is great, this has nothing to do with the provider. We also have nokia and it does not work as well there. Love my phone.

  • hello and gooday please i would like to make an order for a specific model of product from your company which i want so please i would like to knowhow much shipping would cost to Nigeria and also please i would like to know if making payment by credit card is acceptable ,so thanks alot and hope to hear from you soonest

  • CTI in NYC has the best selection of GSM phones. Check them out!!! Best prices too.

  • I have a Z600 and the problem is with the pictures by photo camera.When I send the pictures to the computer by ir, in order to copy them I see that in a size 10-15 cm, they are not clear and if I do them larger ( size A4) the problem is bigger.I always use the big analysis of phone(352*288). I think that the pixels of pictures are not enough and for this reason the results are not good!Why does this happen?tell me someone about this. Vergos Andreas Patras Greece

  • I have just bought the z600 and I think its the best mobile phone ever and not that expensive

  • This phone is the best arhhh,no comment at all~!!!!!!!!!!juz buy it then u noe it~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i hv bought this phone a month ago n i found tat this phone is good from the inside n outside but the problem is camera,it juz too cheap n also sumtimes hang but for while. if u want to buy SE phone,Z600 will be ur best ever choice u made!!!!

  • 1.5 m.b storage memory only with all that features. where could i save all i need. and a cif camera. shit

  • i can not say the z600 is the best ever but it is a very good mobile the are great and the disgen is good but the problem is there is no inof momery 4 evry thing! and there is anthor thing that in my country we do not have mms or wap so i can not use these things!

  • i just love this phone but can't get it in barbados is they some way i can get one ship here an how much is it !

  • good desidn

  • hey i just bought this angel 3 weeks back.its awesome no problems till now.i am very possessive abt it.battery life is very good.games r cool.GPRS TOO GOOD. RECOMMENDED!!

  • Out of the three phones you mention, I would say the Z600 is the best just from looking at their features. It is the only tri-band out of the three meaning you'll be able to use it in many more areas of the world, and it has bluetooth and IR which neither of the others have.

  • buy the L.G7100 cos it's really versatile, sleek and reliable. It's camera is excellent and well, i couldn't say more. The phone is just wonderful. Great looks and functionality. It also has the revolutionary swivel screen that is not only entertaining but has no backlash. So RONAN make ur choice

  • Just bought it last week. It is one of th great phone. Its thickness is advantage to me coz it give a easy holding in my hand. the screen is good and it packed with full feature that more than i need. this is the best phone for bluetooth application on earth!!

  • Well... i'm confused which phone to buy... either Panasonic X66,Sony Erricson z600, Innostream 90 or the LG 7100... anyway please give me some interesting good comments... thanks for helping...

  • jux bought tis fone 2 weeks ago..at a discounted rate..dun really impressed mi the 1st time i saw cuz its' bulky and dun really trust SE cuz my frenz have bad experiences with T610.. But this fone proves mi wrong with all my assumptions..its cool and sporty..good for rugged youngsters like mi..the covers can be changed according to own perferences..screen colors and poly tunes are wonderful..loves to hear it rings longer when frenz called..haha.. The negative pts bout this fone is the camera..not very good in dim lights..but still able to capture nice pics in bright light places..oni 1X zoom..but try not to zoom, cuz the effects are not very good.. Enabled with bluetooth and this allows mi to transfer lotsa nice poly tunes from frenz's hps too..i tink Nokia, Samsung, Panasonic and other hps shld enabled with bluetooth too..it makes things easier this way..overall, its quite a good fone..can consider buying..=)

  • Really lovely looking phone. I upgraded from a Nokia 3650 to this and love the look and feel. Really easy to use. Doesn't seem to have alot of features though, maybe they're just compacted down. The only thing I was really dissapointed with was the quality of the camera : ( very poor. I'm in two minds as to whether I should send it back or not. Would have liked a better camera since I use it all the time.

  • how is the camera and the screen ? is it good ? dose it work fine with arabic language?

  • the z600 is the greatest phone I ever had,and i'm only 15. the "bad" thing is the small bluetooth car (80 euros), too expensive...

  • Last year in December I bought this phone. Maybe I had a bad batch, but this is total utter crap. It's a waste of my money. First of, the phone keep freezing/hanging, akin to a computer freezing and you cannot move your mouse. I tried to shut it down, but it doesn't work too! In the end I had to pull the battery out and place it back in again. I tried to start it up, and it jammed again! What the heck? It wouldn't be bad if this doesn't happen often. But it does for me. It can happen around 5-6 times a week. I took it to an authorized Sony Ericsson dealer to reinstall the software (or whatever they did) and shortly after that it still hangs! Not only that, the camera is really grainy. It's not great. Compared to Nokia 6230 (which I've bought to replace this Z600), Z600 lost by miles. As a side note, I'm just letting you guys know what I personally went through. So if you're an SE fan and totally disagree with me, that's ok. I just want to warn potential buyers what MAY happen.It does not happen to everyone, but I've also heard from my friends their Z600 hangs too. This and P900.

  • Best Phone I ever had - all functions are really useful, simple, classy and stable program. Battery consumption is more than a day with lot of calls and text. COOL Phone!!!

  • hi all, anyone interested in a good deal . We are selling this phone just for $100 with a one year service agreement with t-mobile. a $39.99 plan required. Only NY/ NJ no's. contact for more details 212 949 1919.

  • This is my first mobile ever. I've had it about two weeks now, and I love it. The features are great and it looks cool. The only complaints I have are the thickness (not too big a deal though, just use a jacket/cargo pocket or purse), the fact that you only have 8 message alert options to choose from, and the covers I got with my phone (black, which is actually a very dark blue, and blue) get fingerprints all over them. I'm constantly polishing it with my shirt to get them off, maybe I'm just anal though. The camera I find to be good. It's by no means amazing, but not bad. You do need good light though. Midis sound great on the phone as ringtones, and the display is awesome. The keypad is really nice, because the number's are underneath (so they won't wear off) and they have a cool blue backlighting. UI is simple and efficient. Memory hasn't been a problem (already put lots of crap on the phone), and I don't foresee it becoming one, though it does seem small compared to other phones.

  • Unlocked price: around EUR 330

  • hello I want to know that do I install answering mashine softwear on z-600 ? thanks behnam

  • This phone is great, but what I hate are only 2 MB memory and the CIF-Cam! Sony Ericsson make it like nokia with 7250 & 7250i 3650 & 3660: create a better Z600-Version with around 6 MB memory and VGA-Cam. Please!!

  • This Phone Owns All Nokia Phones Of This Segment.There Are So Many Features In It And It Is Value For Money!I Got It For 420$ But It's Worth It If You Know How To Use

  • does ne1 know how many txt messages this phone can store? 30? i want 2 know b4 i get it.... ne1 help me plz!! thanxs

  • If youre comparing the Z600 and the Samsung E700, look 4 the feature 1st: E700&Z600: 65K TFT LCD E700&Z600: VGA CMOS camera E700: Dual Color Screen Z600: Bluetooth, E700: no. Z600: Long Batery life, E700: no. E700: zoom, multi-shot, frames, effects. Z600: 1x zoom, effects, brightness. E700: 40 poly Z600: 32 poly (but sounds btr thn E700) E700&Z600: GPRS, IrDa. Then the durability: Samsung phones: very very fragile. Screen and cam break easily when fall. SonyE: Very tough and durable. Great 4 adventure and outdoors. Then the price: E700: Expensive. malaysian RM1999 Z600: RM 500 less than E700. malaysian RM 1500. If you want style, get the E700. If you want durability and rugged style/ sporty style phone, get the Z600. OKi.

  • Sometimes the soft have some problemes(when play games).

  • Buy this ohone.You won`t be sorry.Belive me .I have it.

  • Well i am confused which phone to buy,,either Sony Erricson z600 or the samsung E700.anyway please give me some interesting good comments

  • Guys, I'v got one. Some functions not found in this mobile. Also the voice of ringtones are very week and low. You cant hear the voice from 10 meter distance. The screen is shit. Camera and photos are crap bowwwwa.. I'm regret to get it. I feel myself as a foolish

  • does ne1 know how many txt messages this phone can store? 30? i want 2 know b4 i get it.... ne1 help me plz!! thanxs

  • Guys where is this phone made from? China,Malaysia or sweden?tnx!:)

  • I love this phone. It has cool features and very nice sounds! Its not that expensive, non like the E700. Except, its a bit bulky and thick but still, i love it. It's manly. It also suites the ladies. (this phone is not suitable for small ppl or ppl with small hands, it looks like holding a...big thing.)

  • PLEASE PLEAS PLEASE help me! i realy want to get the Z600 but befor i do i want to know how big it is and if its heavy? I want a phone that i can put in my pocket and not worry about can i do this with this type of phone! Please reply soon as i hav to know by the 8th march!! help!!! thankyou!

  • Got the phone yesterday.. Well worth the �9 to upgrade, loads of functions for a cheap phone + nice screen. The only issue is the camera is not great but I probably won't use it anyway. I would recommend this phone to any one. The software that comes with the phone did not work off the CD, I had to download it from the web site. Did anyone else have this problem?

  • When I use WAP to download games and ringtones, each time it says downloading failed, i'm wondering anyone has that problem?

  • JOHN, my Z600 battery lasted only for a whole day the first time I used my phone. That's normal though. Now it lasts 3 days if used moderately, and even 4-5 days on standby. SUSY's right. If you guys opt for a better camera, I say go for the Samsung E700. the only drawback with that phone is it has no bluetooth and the upper half wobbles after a while. It doesn't feel sturdy. AND IT COSTS A LOT! MARCUS, that's odd. I always thought Malasians get hold of brand new phones WAY before it's neighbors. Not to worry though, their bound to turn up in your place. It would cost around the same here (The Philippines) if not a speck higher.

  • i very like this phone

  • how much does the battery holds long?does it hold long?

  • can anyone tell me the cost of this phone in India???

  • I spent ages deciding between the Samsung E700,and the SE Z600. The Camera is much much much better on the E700,daytime is fine but evening ones are blurry. The Z600 also freezes&locks occasionally when inserting items. I'd say if you solely want a camera go for E700, if you like cool features such as photos assigned to received text messages stick with Z600....I however have opted for the Motorola V600 now...:O)

  • I'm a guy from Malaysia.This phone is not available in here yet.Can anyone tell me the price of this phone in US????

  • cheap phone !!!!!!

  • amazing

  • It's not really that expensive. I got it for P11,500 coupled with a P1200/month plan (about $290 with a $22/month plan) Regular price here in Manila is P22,500 to P25,000 (about $409 to $455). Quite cheap for a phone with a lot of features

  • Well, thats it! I finally got my Z600 at last! I was rather hoping i'd find a mitsubishi m720 (or its brother without the iMode thingy), but I not a shadow here in Manila. Anyway, The phone's great... Its just that it kinda slows down a bit when you have a lot of things in it already. And there are some "application errors" every now and then... Charging time takes more or less 3 hours. but aside from those glitches, it works fine. Camera ain't bad, just a bit blurry at night (even when indoors and lit) but ok for dylight use. It sounds great if you play the MIDI tones, but a bit scratchy when you play recorded sounds. But the screen resolution is superb, and the infrared is compatible with (some high-end) Nokia and Samsung phones. very user-friendly. But you guys might want to consider other brands. SE Z600 is a good phone... Not perfect...

  • want to know how many colors are there,as my favourite is blue.

  • The Z600 is a great fone. I fell in love with the fone and became whipped for it. Since the time i purchased it i have found myself to be under its thumb. I have finally fallen in love with something so real. If only women understood me like the fone did.

  • a great phone with a nice tones. camera is a little blurry but i would rate this phone 9,8 in a 1 to 10 scale...

  • Just had mine in for repair, and SE tell me it's been "liquid damaged", and that the warranty is therefore invalid. I'm 99% certain it never got wet in my possession - has anybody else had this happen to them?

  • I have this phone and a moto v525... the z600's screen and pictures are not as good as the moto's but it is less quirky and more user friendly than the moto.. I just wish that it had speaker phone.

  • good phone

  • i think this phone is great except it is way too expensive maybe if the price dropped ALOT!! it would be perfect

  • i would jus like to say steve youra very big boy steve!

  • Hi Jonathan Cruz, go for the Mitsubishi M720 and you will loves it. Cheaper than these 2 phones but better in term of color and quality. SE Z600 merely the same as T610 and has only 1.5MB memory, you will get frustated after taking some pictures and memory full. For the Samsung E700, the price is very expensive and very similar to M720 and M720 is much cheaper. M720 colors and camera quality is much better, I used it for more than 2 weeks no hanged and also user friendly.

  • I owned a late model nokia and I think it was agreat phone. It was simple and very user friendly... But when they started releasing those flashy new ones, they started to be so complicated and very expensive. Philips had good old phones too. My friend had one of those old Philips twist and they are unbelivably durable. He used to throw them around so much I wonder how the poor phone survives to this day! But Philips phones aren't what they used to be. A bit crappy for my taste to be straightforward. Oh yeah, sucks a bit too. As for Sony-Ericsson, great improvement! Their old phones (ericsson and sony separately) seem to lag behind their peers like those aged A, G, and R series models. The more modern T68 and T68i were very good phones (but has a poor LCD resolution). The P800 was a bit overdone and intimidating, but it still never fails to surprise me. I'm going to buy a new phone, but I can't decide between the Samsung E700 and the SE Z600. Samsung has a lot of fun features but SE is cheaper and also boasts pretty cool (but practical) functions. People say the Z600 has a poor camera, and the E700 has a poor hinge. Can you guys help me out? Thanks!

  • Batterylife standby = 4 days Processor = a bit slow Camera = pictures blurr, even if u keep steady Memory = could use some more

  • Processor = a bit slow Camera = pictures blurr, even if u keep steady Memory = could use some more

  • Hello gsmarena, please can you tell me the cost of the new sony ericsson z600 on t-mobile with the 750 mins off-peak contract. Many Thanks Mr A Virdi

  • When I was thinking about purchasing this phone I found I was a bit intimidated by the design, I used to take comfort in that flip fones had aerials but was scared when I noticed that this one didn't, but I am glad I faced my fears and got this fone, it is extremely easy to change sim cards and that is a feature that my friend Stephen enjoys as he has a slut sim card. Best word that describes this phone is masterful craftsmanship and dedication to exuberance, just a joy to use.

  • a great phone with all the features u need in a phone and more!! It was a good price as well!! i highly recommend this phone to everyone!! i also rekon the motorola e365 is a great phone!!

  • Great phone!Needs better camera and more camera functions.

  • Just bought it and thrilled about it's simplicity and functions!

  • which camera is better 352x288 pixels in se z600 or 640x480 pixels in 'sagem my x6' & samsung e700 ????? please answer.

  • Best colours and unlimited posibilities of personalising.Also great stand-by.If you're looking for a new phone I strongly suggest to buy this one instead of Sams.E700.I have it and it's great!!!

  • how many messages can this phone hold please????im talking sms texts not mms

  • @ Miquel Sony Ericsson sells more phones than Philips. So I ask you: "Who is better?"

  • I so much agree with you Miquel. Philips has very good components and if you buy a phone with Philips components, you know it's very good. Except the Philips 630 which is really as shit as hell (very bad battery, bad LCD, bad sound)

  • Well thats buisness i guess......its all about i steal this idea from you and make it mine in order to make money......

  • To: Alcatel and sony eri >> First I have to say I'm not the miquel Who said: We are so deperate, please buy PHILIPS !!!, but I'm the one who said something about the new models of philips for 2004. But I have to react because i'm a fan of philips. First off all philips phones don't break and overheat, thats nokia. And if you know alot you should know that philips phones have the longest standby and talk-time, no other phonemaker can beat them on that. But as a fan I also say that philips made many mistakes in the past, new models came to market very late and there wasn't a specific target group. Now we are a few years further and philips changed a few things in positive way, just look at the models they've launched last year and will be launching this year, you as a hater have to admit also that they've made some progress. And there one thing yet: you think philips is shit? When you open your cellphone, I bet that 50% is stuff from philips. So if you don't know the facts don't talk

  • Miquel's gonna kick your ass

  • Super

  • correction* : i meant p900 not z1010

  • after reading reviews i decided to not buy a sim-free phone simply because i would love a phone with z1010's features as the z600 (with more memory, and thinner) i'm just going to wait 3 1/2 months til my contract runs out and hope that something is good enough for me ;)

  • Please dont buy philips mobials, as they are made of brick, they are shi*, and crappi*, they shouldnt be sold, as there fisio series were fu*in shi*, they were so easy to break, so please, to all customers, WARNING!, dont buy philips, as they will over heat and break when you put them on the charger first time, :) And its achully Philips phones what are ugly clam shells!!!!!!!, not sony ericsson, best brand in the world i say! Nokia is another shit brand, all there phones are bricks, they are ugly, and when they try and make a phone what isnt a rectangle, they make the weight of the phone to heavy!, they are the trihardest brand in the world, and right beside them is PHILIPS!!!! :|! **************SoNy ErIcSsOn************** Sony ericsson is the top mobial phone of today, there new improved t series and there all new Z series, Sony ericsson as released 6 new phones! SE T230 SE T630 SE P900 SE Z200 SE Z600 SE Z1010 ***************************************** sOnY eRiCsSoN

  • i have never had a mobile like that before, it,s features, look, operation, reception, sound / picture quality is excelent.

  • We are so deperate, please buy PHILIPS !!!

  • Screen is indeed excellent, but nothing else is remarkable. Camera is below average, and the OS is not particularly intuitive, and prone to crashing. The bluetooth works well, but you can't use it to install new games (unless I'm missing something?). The thing that really sucks is the lack of memory - as memory is DIRT CHEAP these days, there is no reasonable excuse for providing so little, especially on a camera phone. Call me cynical, but I suspect SE does this deliberately as a sweetener for the networks - the less memory you have, the more often you'll be using bandwidth to load new games, ringtones etc.

  • tops.

  • Hi ... Why Sony Ericsson doesn't use "speaker phone" in Z600 ??

  • someone tell how to play colourbug????? cheers.

  • It has lot of bugs . Not properly tested. Lot of performance related issues should be addressed.

  • Philips shortly upcoming models 2004 Philips 639 � Philips 330 case, 65K TFT internal screen, external mono screen, BeDJ, by features the same as 535 model Philips 550, 759, 755 � all models with touchscreen, handwrite recognition. Philips 855cn � 180 degrees open clamshell. Internal screen 65K TFT, external 4096 STN, 1.3 Megapixel camera, 9Mb of memory Xenium Color � colour clamshell with internal antenna Philips shows again that they're back in the mobile phone business. SonyEricsson sucks, with their ugly clamshell phones.

  • I have it, and it is damn cool!! ;) I loooove my dearest z600.... =)

  • well.. i could say that the display is really amazing! TFD LCD makes it brighter and more contrast. So amazing..

  • I've never seen any phones with better display than Z600! The display is really amazing, incredible, sharp, bright, and unbeatable. The TFD 65k color is brilliant!! I also like the themes. I can change the feature display of my phone anytime I like. Plus, with the theme editor pro 3g, I can make my own ones. Really excited!

  • Nice Picture & colors but unfortunately lack of memory space. Only 1.5MB space is too small for a camera phone, another setback is the phone too thick. Worst, cannot recall the time for all calls on the next day. Regards.

  • Brilliant phone, beats any other phone hands down when it comes to screen quality, design and ease of use. You can download new themes for the phone for free which is the best bit becuase the themes are all different and very good quality unlike themes for phones such as the T68I. The phone has good memory and can store between 70-80 SMS's depending on their length. All in all a very good phone.

  • Got 1 week ago. Phone is okay but maybe the barrier is the memory. 1.5 MB means nothing if you want to attached thumb nail for all your friends. Another thing about shared memory, its not fully shared memory as I notice inbox SMS can only contain less than 50 messages. So Nokia rating is high in this case. Even my previous 8310 can save more than 150 msgs ! I should say this phone has dedicated memory for all function (SMS, MMS, Picture, Sounds etc). I think there should be a way to set the memory allocation. I also facing prob to turn off "Send my caller ID" function. Has looking around but cannot find it. I have to manually turn on/off when making a call. So far, I am quite satisfy using this phone. Bluetooth okay, sounds great, picture quality not bad (nokia is clarity is brighter) Just wonder why SE did not release the solid color casing.

  • It doesn't have digital zoom, but digital zoom is of no use anyway... might as well get the original and just crop and resize it. Same as a digital zoom, but better. You still have the original.

  • Can any one tell me how much this phone is and where i can buy it in kansas?

  • does this phone have zoom? and would it be worth saving money for when a phone just as desirable but better memory and all your other bad points are covered? if so, does anyone have any news on one? i adore the p900's specs etc but love the z600's looks

  • Overall impression - thick, maybe too thick, althout fits in the hand suprisingly well, and not too heavy. Looks worst than in is - and it's maybe the only complaint I would have about the phone, asides that it does not have the remaining standby time as it used to be on the T39. Feels more solid than I would have anticipated, and the clamshell design was really well done. Hrdware - colour display very good and sharp, visible without problems in full daylight, although no intensity adjustment is avaliable. Keypad large and easily pressed, far better than any of the older T18-28-39 series. Ring volume quite high, although dependent a lot on the melody - many of the included ringtones (as midi files) are just too long to serve as a reminder that someone is waiting to be answered. RF reception outperforms may of the older /// models, battery life good, although because of the truckload of features, it's not a matter of standby-talk time anymore. Games, camera usage, or just browsing through all the wallpapers, themes, ringtones and using the screen at full intensity willl noticeably shorten the stand-by time. Camera - lots of fun, though resololution is still low, wish it could be 640x480. Ten again, it's not meant to replace a stand alone digital camera - so it's still quite impressive, with the negative-pic effect or night mode(which increses the exposure time, but not tremendously) Overall impression - excellent, and really worth having.

  • I've had this phone for about a month now and its the best phone i've ever used so far. The reception is next to perfect, no dropped calls and sound quality is superb, not to mention the screen WOW. I also bought the Samsung e715 but i could not change the ip settings so that i could use the browser, but anyways the z600 has bluetooth and i'd much rather stick to my sony ericsson.

  • has it got nice screen?what is tfd 65k?is it good.has it got differences from tft???generally how do u find this mobile?nice?stable?anyone has it?

  • check cell-plus on madison ave in new york (212 949 1116) they have it for $149 if u sign up with tmobile . awesome price , i searched like so many places but this was the best price i got

  • Why set a lose to Samsung E700? At the same price, there is nothing this phone can compare to SS E700! except one thing: MoPhun game!

  • How much is one of these phones?

  • this is a cool phone.

  • Does anyone knows when it will be launched in Portugal ?? I've seen it on the stores ... thxs

  • Z600, WoW what a phone!! its pure class, style, looks, the whole works, but 1 downside, the memory, a mere 1.5 Mb. does anyone know if this can be upgraded??? also where can i buy the facia's from??

  • i bought a sez600 yesterday.i am very happy with the phone.i was having confusion whether to buy z600/samsung e700/nokia6600.huh nokia 6600 is a stupid phone.it says it has 65ktft colour display.please guys if you have bought it seeing that please file a case against nokia.its display is not good for viewing and not much diference when compared to 4096 colours.what does nokia think of people....they can be fooled.well e700 is a good phone.slim,small and good cam.but i have a casio digicam...so not bothered about cam.what e 7oo lacks is bluetooth ,voice dial,.....it lacks a lot of features.guys...z600 has a lot of features and so i bought it.for knowing the full featuresof z600,e700,6600 you can download the manual and read that.you will know what these phones have.z600 is a very good phone.

  • brilliant phone!!!!!

  • @sam spade got anything to add on your z600... you have played with for quite sometime now i supposed....

  • i played with one for 15mins the other day! being a T610 user, oh man what a superb screen compared to T610! much improved! it is much brighter and pics are very sharper! i transfered some wallpapers from my T610 to the Z600! thats how i know! not talkin from my ass! its is fantastic! and also i was impresed with the build quality! very firm and well designed as well! A Winner!!!

  • does anybody know if this masterpiece has night mode, and what the pics taken by its camera look on its screen and on pc

  • I want one !!!!!

  • Michelle, you can download the manual from the SE website at www.sonyericsson.com. Type z600 in the site search and one you have all the information, you will see a category on the left hand side entitled Support. Following that there's a list of links, one of which says User Guides. It's in PDF format, by the way. I downloaded the manual before I got my phone so I could use it straight away ;) I hope this helps.

  • I like this phone. The only problem is the manual is in a different language. If anyone has one or knows where I can get on e-mail me. Thank You!!!

  • do Z600 support video recording?

  • When I saw this phone first time, I was going to buy it. Now, I'm going to buy samsung E700, which is much prettier! Z600 is still a nice phone, but it's kind of a toy compared to E700.

  • perfect design when it is close but when you open it,you feel that the screen is not perfectly balanced...not like samsung flip phones.

  • I have a lots of this phones they are briliant if you whant to buy them contact my at my address :[email protected]

  • TFT (thin film transistor) displays are less visible in direct sunlight that TFD, and drain more battery power. TFD is a big advantage.

  • My z600 arrived today and I'm in heaven! This phone is just so wonderful. I've got the basic functions sussed out ok and set my regularly used profiles. I'm learning the various options of SMS which was a whizz on my old Nokia (and Nokia's in general). I'm just basically having a good play around until I find what I'm comfortable with but so far, I'm well impressed. The Music DJ is amusing and even if you're tone-deaf like me, you can make a canny little tune by mixing a few types with the four instrument choices. The camera, for what it is, is cool. I know it's not up to the standard of a plain digital camera but for a phone and its uses, it's adquate enough. I'm not exactly David Bailey! The menus are brilliant. I just love the PC desk-top style menus. At this early stage, I can't always remember where I've seen various options but I'm sure I'll pick it up soon. I've had a play of a couple of the games and I'm very impressed with the graphics. I'm sure I'll find my favourite game on this phone to pass a spare moment or two! One thing I'm relieved about, I got this phone via my online network operator so I was taking a bit of a gamble with regard to the covers. I'm delighted I haven't got that ugly stripey one or the floral one, though I did like the blue and red covers that came with them. I know this reviews a bit vague but I'm still discovering the wonders of my new phone so once I'm more attuned to it, I'll perhaps post again.

  • i have'nt have a clamshell phone before, but i have been seriously considering one for sometime now... this just might be my 1st clamshell, i heard though that there are some firmware problems, but SE already made a new firmware available for upgrade, someone fill me in...

  • What is the difference between Z600 and Z600-SB,is anybody here encountered some problems on its screen?

  • I really wish people wouldn't come on here to diss handsets they're not even using! Jeez people, go to your handset section and write a useful review for potential buyers. Dissing other handsets that you probably don't even have doesn't help anyone at all. Now I've said my bit, I've been to see a working Z600 this evening and I was very impressed. I've been after a clamshell phone for a year now. The one I wanted last year wasn't available at the time but now I'm in a position to buy one, I feel a year is too long technology wise to buy it. So, I looked at the Z600. I love it and I'm definitely going to buy it. I llike the simple fact that it has a simple "ring" sound on it as well as it's polyphonic. I find the calendar and reminder function very useful in the phone I have already so I'm pleased the Z600 has it. It will take me a while to get used to where functions are within the menus but it won't take me long. I'm really looking forward to using it for real.

  • it costs 350 EUR ($) use valuta converter to check in your own currency

  • Oooh thx that was sooo helpful!You brightened my way. Plz some1 who knows tell me the difference between TFD and TFT

  • TFD ends with letter D. TFT ends with letter T. That's the difference

  • hey i want help here. what's the difference between TFD and TFT?plz someone tell me

  • How much is Sony Ericsson Z600 in Ringgit Malaysia(RM)? thanks!

  • The design suck;s.

  • I though it was going to be a cool phone but I have had numerious problems and other phone companies submit much better phones on the market such as Nokia and Panasonic

  • Cool Design!!!

  • The Panasonic X70 is an awesome alternative. Unlike Sony Ericsson, they release phones that are well tested and few. They don't mass market like Nokia and S.E. with slight alterations over previous models. This way, the consumer get's the best value high quality mobile.

  • I bought a SE Z600 last week. Sold it this week after having numerous problems. Just bought a new Nokia 6600, no hassles. Very effective & practical phone unlike the Z600. The problem i encountered with the Z600 is as follows: 1. Unable to view the screen in the outdoors. Don't think it's TFT. I could view my old 6100 in sunlight with no problems & it was a non-TFT 4k screen! 2. Sometimes the auto answer doesn't work! I've gotta press the answer button to retrieve the call. SW problem??? 3. Unable to turn/switch profiles like Nokia. Turning silent on/off is not enough. They don;t even have timed profiles like Nokia. 4. Have to delete the sent & other messages one by one. No dedicated delete counter. 5. Clear key is not effective cos a few of my friends have accidentally deleted my contacts by pressing the C key! 6. The phone slows down aftyer some time of extensive usage. Even the calls list totally hanged! Had to switch the phone off & on again (reset) 7. Camera is lousy. Colour is not bad but clarity is terrible. The photo is clear during snapping but it gets blurred after pic is taken! 8. Menu navigation & sms is too slow. The phone takes it time. Even worse when memory is limited. 9. Polyphonic tones are good but unable to set normal ring tone for sms messages. Nokia scores high here! 10. Unable to retrieve phonebook unless contacts are copied to phone memory! Or only by using call from sim feature....slow again! 11. No speaker phone. most current nokia models have this feature! 12. Talk time not so impressive. 13. Nokia contact features & versatility is the best unlike SE which is so complecating & slow. You can't zero down contacts from the main menu. Pls take note Nokia models from 6510 have this feature. I got so fed up with the phone & told myself that SE has got alot of catching up to do when it comes to practicality, effectiveness & user friendliness. Not to forget the sluggish software. I can type sms twice as fast in any nokia phone compared to SE. Pls take note, i'm not discouraging potential buyers but i'm merely informing what's in store for them. Just when i thought to give SE a second chance, it failed me terribly. I firmly stick to nokia cos they make very practical, effective & best of all user friendly phones that don't slow down or run on sluggish softwares.

  • Both Z600 and Nokia 6600 have ONE major common problem and that's the multi-angle screen. U can never see the contents (such as emails) properly in certain angles and lighting conditions. What a pity with such a good design!

  • The Panasonic X70's da bomb! 4MB of memory is so much better. I really like Sony phones, but my friend has the Panasonic x70 and it's awesome - the built in flash camera makes dark photos look like they were taken in the day! AAA+++

  • I am a phone developer for Sony from Japan. The new Sony.E Z600 has made great improvment since its previous models. I I think it is a Very convenient phone. Very good overview, easy menu, many Langugaes, and many MORE MORE MORE features. Please contact my email for more information

  • I love this phone it have everything that i want in a phone even though i haven't purchase it. I just wonder if it will come out for att and when.

  • i agree! i think im going to buy the panasonic x70 it has more than double the memory of the s.e. z600

  • Z600 is the best, but it could use some more memory

  • When is this phone coming to europe? i looked and it is not availiable yet.

  • The Panasonic X70 is a far better phone and it has a built in flash camera and 4MB of memory.

  • Good form factor, but kind of ugly looking though.

  • it's good. unfortunely no we could not enjoy a FM radio

  • E700 better for screen, camera and memory(Not sure about emmory).. Z600 better for performance and overall quality (software, IR and Bluetooth's capabilities)

  • I'm looking for buying a cell phone now. Does anybody know which one is better, Sony Ericsson Z600 or Samsung E700????? Cheer!

  • michael, you must have very poor eyes instead of Z600 having poor screen, Its 65k TFD screen, its very bright and crispy !

  • really regret buying this phone, ill have t trade it on ebay. its got a poor screen, these images are deceiving

  • thought it was excellent but i was mistaken. the screen isnt sharp and images are perky! the camera is the worst perfomer, a snap of a clear blue sky appears magenta! whats up with it!

  • Does anyone know about Bluetooth headset of Z600 ?

  • This phone is simply great. I can even play the V-Rally 2 with my friend using bluetooth. The battery power is also not bad. Great job SE!!!

  • Banga what the hell are you saying?

  • I wont sony ericsson z600

  • will it be out in us soon

  • When will Z600 be availiable to Europe?

  • very very good, i like it

  • it maybe an improve version of t610 but why is it that they did not improve the memory and instead have it at 1.5 MB, the t610 has 2 MB already a lot of people complaining of too small

  • right now its the most beautiful phone that I've ever had with all the right stuffs in it and I dont care whether the its the same as T610 I just love the screen colour but I just wanna know ? they'r selling in Thailand at this very moment thanks

  • Sorry wrong section

  • and it will have bluetooth even wi-fi !!!!

  • The Panasonic X70 has 4MB and added, has a built-in flash included with their camera!

  • This and the T610. Z600 has better screen and supposed to have better polyphonic. Software could be better too since it shares the same platform of the T610, SE now knows the fault of it and would correct it. Trust me. Alot of issued on the T68i was corrected on the T610. It isn't 1.5mb shared memory, it's 2mb shared memory. They got it wrong. Just like the T610, it has 2mb. 1.5mb is when you buy it from voda or something where they have their software on it.. takes up space for no reason..

  • So so good!!!!!

  • But it sux.....no feature too much price............

  • no external color screen. what a shame.

  • SE is now making flip phones which means the japanese have total control of SE and are ericsson's bosses

  • Dear Sir, I want buy Z600, when Z600 redly. Thanks

  • i want to buy the phone as soon as its out in the market. i currently have T616, T68i, P800

  • 1.5 MB shared memory... what can you expect ?

  • HA HA HA LG U8150 and Sonny ericsson z1010 are better.Z 600-in the bin

  • Can anybody tell me what cost of z600 at marketing now?? which is better between SE t610 and SE z600 ???

  • Shoot i gave you the price of x100 from warehouse to dealers....it's like $219.99 for retail (just phone)^_^;;;, i think it might be free phone with contract. But still cheaper than nokia 3530

  • x100 is about $149.99 when SE z200 is about $399.99

  • And You will believe me when you check out price of samsung x100 it's so cheap. OF course b/c it's bar style. Even cheaper than NOkia 3530. ANd 65K color..way better than SE z200 and T230 Also, this phone has T9 that can add words

  • Yeah i would rather buy z1010. This phone is so expensive $799.99. It seems samsung is not that expensive. Clamshells are expensive. Anyway DMX,hello long time no see, ^_^ Samsung's new phones have T9 that can add new words.

  • biggy phone but theres everything inside mms. camera gprs poly but who knows this phone is goona shut down within 1 day

  • @Person below Z600 is a just an alternative for the T610. It's not a new phone. Features same, but much better screen and all new design.

  • Features are 99% the same in T610. No sensational phone.

  • THIS IS GOING TO BE MY NEXT PHONE!!!! after having a T300. Try it on the sony ericsson website it has excellent features. It seems to be so much better than the samsung V200 (my brother has it and its boring). Sony Ericsson did a great job.

  • Very nice phone..............i love it.

  • FYI a couple of pictures on the forthcoming p810

  • well the i think the sonyericsson z600 is a master piece and i'd really love to use it.

  • Both of them are good brands yar? =P.. LoL.. Next thing we'll see a car saying.. powered by a Sony/Samsung =P.. Actualyl.. there might be.. sony sound system.. LoL...

  • .........DMX i never mentioned about v200 .....i just mentioned about speed X_X well let's just buy whatever we want ^_^ And @ :) hi smiley man I definitely would by Sony Tv . infact, last night just bought sony XBR 35". It is very nice. But cell phones.. i would buy samsung. Cause they first make phones in CDMA in KOrea and test them. ANd then they make it in GSM fixed(i don't think v200 were well concerned) like D700 and i500. ANd if you checked out samsung phones in KOrea, you will see how they are advanced. Sony... maybe you are concerned about screen since Sony makes greatest TVs. and i know But samsung makes TFT LCD best. You know what sooner or later almost every laptop will use Samsung TFT LCD. ANd there is gonna be sticker Saying"Wise TFT Samsung" right next to "Intel Pentinum 4" (http://www.samsung.com/Products/Semiconductor/T­FTLCD/Wiseview/Introduction.htm) And if you knew Samsung makes World's best memory. If you knew, every computer has samsung DDR ram. EVEN SONY computers. For that i can trust their new show offs. I would definitely buy samsung D700 unless i want video telephony ^_^;; but you know what we're getting Sony Computer(a bundle) it's nice deal. and i don't think i will regret for the phones or computers i will get.( i'm not bias)

  • HaHa... if you must buy a TV, what choice...Samsung, Nokia or Sony ? :)

  • Great phone if you like clamshells!And just think that its not samsung so its not expensive like all samsungs are!

  • bad try to press a t610 in a clambshell. Better buy the original: Samsung. If nokia makes it (same technique in another housing) all SE fans would cry loud: Poor nokia. So: Poor SE...

  • @Haha? I think I posted in the T610 thread already.. Having bluetooth is one thing.. having a proper software for it on the phone is another.. Eg. Samsung V200 has IR, so does the T610.. Can samsung send picture? No. T610 can. Can samsung send ringtones? No. T610 can. Can samsung send contacts? No. T610 can. All this done without software.. IR only used to connect the phone to a computer.. and that, also you need the software to do so...

  • anyone know how much will this cost and when it's gonna be released in european market. gsm arena website is saying 3Q 2003, but hey it's 4Q soon. Is this like Siemens sx1 where they said 1Q 2003, then 2Q, then 3Q, then now end of December.

  • People...this comment space is for Z600. Yes, probably you can compare other phones to Z600 but don't use this space comparing at least 2 other different phones.

  • Unknown just check out web sites. below............ -_- GSM Arena doesn't have complete data.... And D700 forums usually doesn't show all data

  • Who told you D700 has bluetooth ? D700 has no bluetooth...

  • Second address is wrong

  • hey DMX just buy D700 !!!!Samsung D700 HAS BLUE TOOTH and INTEGRATED LOUD SPEAKER!!!! Go to these sites -->http://wgamer.com/devicedir/device-135 -->http://www.orangewavewireless.com/index-us.html -->http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=291

  • A T610 but redesigned within a ClamShell and an improved screen. Please note to all T610 oweners. According to SE service centre there is a possibility that the Screen from the Z600 can be used on the T610!

  • For starters, it can't be the same phone. While looking at a Nokia there is a chance that it might be due to size, layout and all.. but this is totally different in design from the T610, not to mention the speakers and camera are all in totally different location. Has good screen. Sadly, I prefer the T610's looks. Like the metal finish.

  • It doesnt have a memory stick slot. So they arent encouraging you to buy memory sticks. 2mb is enough, and if you want more then get a SMART phone.

  • plain ol' ugly!!!

  • 2MB means that Sony "encourages" you to buy their "memorysticks", and lots of them... Perhaps it is likely that a 8/16 MB memstick would be included with a Z600? That would make sense, but may not be offered by all providers. Buyer beware, as always.

  • Only 2 MB like the T610? Seems to be the same phone in an other design. Poor .

  • I'd like to see a universal remote app on this model to cotnrol my stereo.

  • Z600 has 2 MB of memory...

  • How much memory has it for pictures, programs, games and so on ??

  • On 400kb free I'm able to keep about 7 large pictures. I rather go for large as the uncompressed file takes up some size =).. so yeah.. SE should have an option to activate or deactivate this feature..

  • how much will z600 cost?

  • hey DMX Thank you sooooo much for all the info. it really helped me a lot. one last question. about how many camera-pictures does your t610 hold?

  • Okay.. Memory.. It isn't leakage.. if you noticed the stories.. it's only for image files.. When you enter the Picture Gallery on the T610, you'll noticed how fast everything works.. this is because the phone saves an umcompressed thumbnail of the images thus creating the need for a larger file. About photo resolution, don't bother comparing as they are similar.. Can't comment much on the Samsung as it's software is terrible. Will explain below about the Samsung later. As for 7250, it focuses well close by, but at a distance, it doesn't too well.. and the edge is blurred out and not too focused while the T610 is more even but not fantastic anywhere. If camera, I guess I would vouch for the T610 as it's the most flexible with options to set shutter speed (faster for darker and slower for brighter images), effects, set the colour saturation (like you want it to be more colourful or more dull, up to you). Samsung, I leave out because even if it had the best camera among the three, the software is terrible. All over the place like the 7250, but then worst.. limitations for memory with ringtones.. java.. terrible.. you know what I mean..

  • also, DMX, about how many camera-pictures can t610 hold? and is it true what they say about "memory leakage"

  • Hey DMX you truly are our fountain of knowledge in here!! I read that you own a t610 and i'm interested in buying it too but i havent had the chance to use one yet. I would like you to compare the screen and photo resolution to the nokia 7250 and samsung v200/v205. thanks in advance

  • Does anybody know how much memory has this phone? I don't see this mentioned in specifications.

  • This phone WILL! dominate ALL other phones!!!!! its the ultimate!!!!!!!! way to go S.E

  • Pdiddy, do you ever have anything positive to say? I think phone will be really great when it comes out, i just hope its soon thats all!

  • Another software laden, buggy phone from SE? I hope not.

  • No idea.. I don't work for SE =).. Just owns the T610.

  • Hey, DMX, you're a fountain of knowledge, do you or anyone else know if this is definatly coming out in the UK? I Work for Nokia, but the Z600 is the business!!!

  • I'm going to play with it saturday @ Sony Dreamworld! :D

  • SE dominates

  • Is this handset set to come out in the UK? i can't find any info on it at Sony Ericcson's website.
