You might think that this would be a big, heavy phone. After all, we recently looked at the BenQ P50 which offers many similar features - and that weighs 170 grams. So it's a bit of a surprise to see that the Sony Ericsson M600i only weighs 112 grams.. which would be good going for any 3G phone, never mind a feature rich device such as this.
When it comes to battery life though, it's clear that the 3G support drains the life out of the battery pretty quickly. On UMTS (3G) talktime is only 2.5 hours, with 10 days standby. Turn off 3G and use plain old GSM and it's a whopping 7.5 hours talktime and 14 days standby.
There's Bluetooth (of course), but here the Sony Ericsson M600i supports stereo Bluetooth for music playback. The 80Mb of internal memory is sufficient for quite a few music tracks, and of course there's Java for games and a range of Symbian applications available for this platform.
Finally, the M600i looks the part too. It's a classic Sony Ericsson design, harking back to the T630i (which we regard as one of the most attractive phones ever made). It's relatively slim too, at 15mm thick.
The Sony Ericsson M600i should start to ship worldwide in Q2 2006, with different keyboard arrangements for those countries that do not use a ''QWERTY'' layout. There's also an M600c for mainland China.
