Test report and technical data Ericsson R600

Test report and technical data Ericsson R600

The Ericsson R600 - small and handy, but not what I was looking for!

Plus of the Ericsson R600: good size, good quality of sound and reception



Minus of the Ericsson R600: the display of the Ericsson R600 is a bit too small, the menu structure is illogic






You can say what you want, that it will save you time, that you don't have to go outside, and so on... But sometimes I think that the internet also has its disadvantages, because you simply can't really check the products that you buy online.




That's what happened to me recently when I bought the Ericsson R600 in an auction. I was quite disappointed by the Ericsson R600 when I finally held my own ice-blue Ericsson R600 in my hands.




At first I thought that the display of the Ericsson R600 would be much bigger than it turned out to be. Secondly the Ericsson R600 doesn't have a number-indication function.




Even the menu of the Ericsson R600 turned out to be impractical and difficult to use. SonyEricsson really should have made a bigger effort and equip the Ericsson R600 with some new features. The keys of the Ericsson R600 are tiny and of course not easy to use for that reason, typos happen all the time.....




The company exaggerated with the performance of the battery, the stated standby and talk times simply do not apply in reality. But the Ericsson R600 also has its good sides, address book entries can be divided into different groups with different ringer tones.


The display of the Ericsson R600 is available in three different colors.




In addition the Ericsson R600 doesn't have a visible antenna, but that doesn't affect the quality of reception. The Ericsson R600 is rather robust, even the glass screen of the Ericsson R600. However if you want to protect the Ericsson R600 even more you can put it in the well-fitting and handy hand phone bag.




Some people don't like handy phone bags, but I like that kind of accessories.




So, if you have more questions you should probably consult a sales person and have the Ericsson R600 shown to you. I'm no expert when it comes to mobile phones. But one thing I know for sure: next time I’ll buy my hand phone personally from a shop after some advice, and not trust my luck like with the Ericsson R600.




Fortunately I bought the Ericsson R600 for a relatively low price, otherwise I would have been really angry, and that only causes wrinkles.
