Test report and technical data SonyEricsson R600
The SonyEricsson R600 - The half-pint that gives a lot of pleasure
Advantages of the SonyEricsson R600: small, light, handy, very good battery, many features
Disadvantages of the SonyEricsson R600: T9-software
Finally my contract did expire and I decided to get a new mobile. Since my provider didn't have any good offers at that time, I changed my provider and signed a new contract with another provider. That's the way I got my SonyEricsson R600 really cheap.
Now something on the SonyEricsson R600:
The SonyEricsson R600 is very small, since the SonyEricsson R600 has dimensions of 108 x 45 x 20 mm only. In addition to that the SonyEricsson R600 merely weighs 80 g. The SonyEricsson R600 is really comfy to carry around and the SonyEricsson R600 adjusts perfectly to the palm.
I didn't even have to take a glimpse at the user manual of the SonyEricsson R600 to be able to operate the SonyEricsson R600. That was quite a surprise indeed.
All the features of the SonyEricsson R600 are arranged horizontally on the upper part of the screen. The icons of the SonyEricsson R600 are clearly legible, I haven't seen that with another mobile so far.
U can navigate through the menu of the SonyEricsson R600 either with an arrow-key or a scroll-key. Both of the keys are placed on the side of the SonyEricsson R600.
The SonyEricsson R600 offers numerous extras, which enhance the fun-side of the SonyEricsson R600, e.g. u can choose between three screen-colours (red, orange and green).
Every telephone book entry of the SonyEricsson R600 can be assigned not only a special ringer tone, but also a special screen-colour. Thus u can even identify the caller if the SonyEricsson R600 is on "silent".
The SonyEricsson R600 is the only mobile I know, that allows to change the font of SMS as well as the font of the menu. But it is recommended to choose the standard font for SMS since other mobiles won't be able to display another font than that.
U can even access the internet with the SonyEricsson R600 via GPRS or WAP-browser.
Aside from that the SonyEricsson R600 is still equipped with other standard functions, such as calendar, alarm, calculator, picture with editor, games and so forth...
The only deficit of the SonyEricsson R600 is that the T9-software is not expandable, thus no personal entries can be added to the T9-vocabulary. Well, but at least the Sonyericsson R600 is equipped with a T9-software, better than nothing.
I can recommend the SonyEricsson R600 to anyone, who's looking out for a mobile he/she can make calls with and write SMS easily; the SonyEricsson R600 is just perfect for those needs.
