Good Points

This is a very good sized and light 3G phone.
Easy to navigate.
Decent camera.
The display is not huge (due to the phone not being huge) but it is crystal clear.


Bad Points

Small memory, which when reaching capacity makes the phones reactions slow down somewhat.
Very quiet.


General Comments

Don't get me wrong, I actually really like the Sony Ericsson V600i mobile phone, it's just that it could be so much better. It's a bit like being given a taste of something and being left hungry for more. Why put a 1.3MP camera in it when it could have had the k750i's fantastic 2MP camera? I knew which camera it was when I got it, but I still feel let down.

I managed to fill the memory completely in one day. Why it couldn't have had a memory card I have no idea! What is the point of having a phone that plays MP3's if it can't hold more than a handful. I have a twenty minute walk every morning, and I really struggled to shrink down the files just to fit for that. Fortunately that twenty minutes is generally cut down due to me sleeping through my alarm as I can't hear it.

If you've managed to get through all that, thinking what I said in the beginning about really liking the phone is untrue, you'd be wrong. It is a really nice phone, it feels nice and it's not bulky. I look at it and it makes me smile; I don't know why, it just does. Maybe if it didn't look so good I wouldn't have such high expectations of it. This is not a super-phone; Vodafone gave it to me for free. I'm really struggling to think of anything good to say about it, and now when I look at it, it brings a tear to my eye. I do really like it, and I feel like I'm betraying her by writing this review.

I think at the end of the day it made a really good free upgrade, but I would have regretted spending any money on it.

Her? I think I've got some major issues :)
