    3 Stars High Hopes, But Let Down... 01/11/2005
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages 3G, Lots of features, Looks different, Easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Disappointing, Poor signal quality, Poor camera, Themes/Ringtones don't show off the phone's capabilities

    I was really excited about getting a new phone - I love new toys! My Sony Ericsson k600i arrived and, patiently for me I let it fully charge before playing with it! I'd done some research on the internet and was looking forward to the change from my very reliable Nokia 7610 which I really liked. I was impressed with the way you could 'try' the phone virtually at www.sonyericsson.co.uk and the phone seemed what I was after. I knew it would take a bit of getting used to changing brands from Nokia, but I was willing to give it a try. I ordered my k600i as an upgrade through Orange. It didn't cost ... more

    4 Stars How small can they go Review with images 17/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Size, this is a little fella for a 3G phone

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Edge by ear piece is uncomfortable, no memory expansion

    So my Nokia 6630 was getting on my nerves due to it's size and weight but before the release of the K600i there was not much choice in relation to small and light 3G phones. So SonyEricsson do it again and release a phone that redefines the boundaries of size and functionality. -------------Look and Feel------------- The K600i comes is a small package 104.3 x 45 x 19.2 mm this is just slightly larger than the SonyEricsson T610 which in my eyes was a classic. This size is perfect for slipping into a Jean pocket and it goes fairly unnoticed. The K600i weighs in at 105g which is not the lightest ... more

    5 Stars The 3G phone just got sexy! Review with images 01/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Clear screen, great looks, 3G

    Disadvantages Disadvantages 3G not available in some areas

    I received my K600i yesterday after purchasing from someone on ebay for £220 - a bargain I have to admit! This phone has been overshadowed by the K750i and the W800i but it is a class phone offering a 1.3 megapixel camera and 3G. The phone had originally been locked to orange but the seller had had it unlocked prior to sale. I can see the reason for this, although in my case, I wanted to use it on orange anyway. When I took the phone out of the box I was surprised to find it felt lighter than I imagined it would, 3G phones are generally heavier and more bulky, this one feels good to hold. So ... more

    3 Stars Sony Ericsson K608i 03/04/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Reletively light, easily readable screen, MP3 player to upload your own music for ringtones, etc, good quality video camera when set on small mode

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bad signal strength, very poor static camera, battery life is poor and phone gives no warning when its about to die.

    I got this phone free with 3 when I changed over from Orange. Initially all was well but I soon found the battery life poor, the phone does not tell you when the battery is about to die and if you have around 75 % of life left, it will die during a 30 min conversation. You can fully charge it in two hours, but having no low battery warning option is rather strange in this day and age. Other problems have been cutting out during calls, ( evidently a software fault so I am told ). On the texting side, the dictonary seems to lack basic words when sending txt messages, ( example hasn't and ... more

    5 Stars A Sex and The City style phone! 18/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks good, good battery life, lots of features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Memory could be a bit larger

    When I went for my upgrade last year, I knew I wanted a Sony Ericsson phone. I'm not the kind of person that wants what everyone else has, I want something a little different. I was originally going to have either the k750i or the w800i...yet everywhere I looked, people had these phones! I was offered this phone and my first thoughts were "Wow!" It looks absolutely fantastic, a change from the normal plasticy looking phones. It's very sleek and the metallic finish is quite matt, it's gorgeous! The joystick in the middle is very easy to use, even with my long nails! The menu is very well set ... more

    3 Stars Quick review of Sony Ericsson K600i by BelgischeFriet 19/04/2007
    I have this phone for about 1,5 year now. The basic functionalities are good (calling quality & text messaging), but forget about the extras. The camera quality is really bad. It was much worse than I expected, especially when taking pictures when there is not much light. I have not had a chance to use the video conference feature as somehow my provider (O2) doesn't allow me to use it (I have 3G services enabled in my contract though).

    5 Stars Best phone I ever had, while it lasted! 12/10/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages delightful little light skinny sexy funky easy to use phonetastic thingy!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages tick tock the joystick did stop

    This phone was by far my favourite phone of all time. It did absolutely everything. I listened to the radio on the way to work, laughing on the bus to chris moyles, and feeling silly for it. On the way home the radio was rubbish so i'd listen to my MP3's. And OK, so maybe I couldnt have seventybillion phones on there all at one time.. i tihnk maybe around 12... but they were all good songs and i could change them when i got home to my computer if i got bored of them. The camera, OK, so it is only a 1.3 megapixel viideophone, but its a phone... i like to take snappy little shots here and there ... more

    5 Stars Another great Sony Ericsson 07/08/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Small and Compact, Excellent Features, Value for Money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I do not live in a 3g coverage area :(, No card slot and only 33mb internal memory

    When the screen on my Sony Ericsson T610 shattered the insurance company gave me £70 to find a new phone. I searched for a few days before stumbling upon this k600i on Phones4u.co.uk for £60 on PAYG! Being a bit of a Sony Ericsson fan I snapped it up an eagerly awaited its arrival. When it arrived next day I was not disapointed. It has a huge number of features, too many to name here. Amongst my favourites are the video/still camera which produces excellent quality images that really impress when transferred to the PC to view on a larger screen. There is also a panorama mode which if used ... more

    3 Stars Sony Ericcson K608i on 3 15/07/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Stylish, good mp3,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages low memory, weak shell, unreliable menu button.

    I got this phone when my old one broke and i had to get a nmew one. I decided to get the Sony Ericsson K608i because it was, in my opinion, the best pay as you go handset available on 3. Eventhough it is easy to use and the menu is easy to navigate, the phone does have its problems. For instance the text messaging dictionary lacks some basic words which are found quite commonly on other phones. also, abbreviations are not recognised on the predictive text method. After a few months I notice that the menu control button stopps working occasionally and sometimes doesnt move up or down and donest ... more

    3 Stars waste of a phone! 01/04/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages very small for 3G, nice design

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no expandable memory, slow software

    On paper the phones seems great with its 3G capabilities and it large screen 1.3 mega pixel camera etc, but I have to say that this is possibly one of the worst phones that i have ever owned. First of all the phone has no expandable memory! its seems a bit strange really to make a 3G phone that the user will want to download videos onto and not have the option of a memory card. i downloaded 5 music videos and after that the memory was full! Also the phone often crashes and i have to remove the battery and restart it. I have had to take the phone back to Carphone warehouse 3 times so far ( i ... more
