    There is a fault on the NEC E606, you must call 3 with your problems they will either take it from you and repare it or they will give you a ref number and you take the phone to the mobile phone warehouse and they will fix most of the problems. Problems include:
    Turning its self off.
    Not connecting to calls, internet and messages.

    Having lived with my NEC E606 for 6 months. What can I say, this mobile phone looks like a brick. But running costs excellent, if you want a phone to talk on. 12 hours x net a month for £35. stay off the multimedia content and you cant go wrong.

    DO NOT EVER BUY THIS PHONE you may get plenty of features but you need a stopwatch to measure the battery life. This is the most annoying phone I have had the misfortune to own. Unless 3G start supplying Nokia I am changing network as soon as i can get out of the contract

    Bought this NEC E606 mobile phone on the KIT tarrif from 3 when they only had there 2 monthly tarrifs. After finding how bad the service was (more detail below) I returned the phone within 5 days (having not made any calls outside my 'free' allowance) only to have them bill me £70 for the service! After they agreed this was incorrect they insisted the bank had to reverse the DD and the bank insisted 3 should refund me, took over 4 months to get my money back!!!!!!!

    The phone at first ...

    I'm constantly using it as a mp3 player where eva I go(I just carry a spare battery with me for the day) every morning b4 I head to work I download a new set of songs(usually between 16-20 songs)
    Service has been good so far(I rarely have any drop outs)
    Customer service is average, I have never had to wait 2 long before getting assistance but I have found their knowledge is a little limited when it comes to the technical aspects of the nec606.
    I am also very happy with the deal I signed up fo ...

    I bought this phone almost as soon as they started giving away to 750minutes for £35 a month, my girlfriend also got one at the same time, we both had contracts with t mobile that we were fairly pleased with but seeing how 3 was new and looked kind of cool we thought we'd give it a try. Several months into my contract with 3 i'm now wishing i'd never bothered, the nec606 is absolutely the most appaling phone i've ever owned, and beleive me, i've owned some bad phones. It takes several at ...

    I purchased the most awful phone and phone services. The NEC e606 mobile phone from the Three Mobile network is a terrible pathetic phone and no-one should go out and buy one. I have owned the phone for approx 26 days and have been told by the Three mobile network that I am not allowed to terminate my contract. The problems I have had are: the phone has full signal, yet 50% of incoming calls divert to voice mail, most of the time there is no signal - I have to keep disconnecting then connecting ...

    The NEC e606 has a good screen and the video play back is great for downloaded movies. Shame the speaker faces the wrong way for watching the movies. The deal with Three is great value for money.

    Absolutly dire ringtones as standard. The phone call quality on 3g is rubbish with the sent voice often cuts out intermitently. I had four weeks where the phone would only work on 2g. unfortunately I live and work in a 3g area and you can not chose to use only the 2g network. Video and picture qualit ...

    Having owned a Nokia 3510i on T Mobile for 6 months I knew there was no way I could have a phone without a colour screen again. I mentioned this to the salesman in Carphone Warehouse as I went to chose an upgrade as my contract was due to run out. He piped up that maybe I should try a 3G NEC e606, a suggestion I balked at as I live in South Wales and we are usually the very last to get anything, so I assumed the signal strength would be non-existent. My mind was made up when she allowed me to ...

    Superb phone for professional people like me. It is not for kids to play Java Games. Packed with so many different features and value for money (500 free mins per month for 25 quid).
    Reception, colour and ringtones are all superb.

    I was keen to try the 3G network and both myself and wife signed up. On the whole, we are reasonably impressed with the handsets. They are loaded with features and I have not found the menu system that hard to use. The photo quality is not too good but I have never had a photo phone before so I have nothing to compare it to.There are no games on the phone and you have to download them all(at a cost), then they last for only a few days, which is annoying. Our real moan is with the 3G network. We ...

    This phone has many good points, but primarily the value is exceptional. Free on the 500 xnet minutes tariff makes it cheaper than any other network or tariff for that type of package. The phone itself is a little large but still pocket sized and looks good.

    Camera feature is a standard 0.3megapixels, which is adequate, and the video (including audio)is a nice wee feature. Best bit by far is the fact that I can hook up to my computer, and transfer music, video images to and from the PC. T ...

    The NEC606 is the most annoying phone that I have ever had. The 3G content is fine, I like it and I love new gadgets. Its just a shame that I have to view it on the biggest bag of nails that I have ever has the misfortune to use. If were not for the fact that I have it on a Three friends and family deal, I would have sent it back months ago (the incentive for me is free everything untill October). The main problems are the 2G functionality (old GSM type stuff that should be working fine). This p ...

    I've been using this NEC e606 phone for about over 2 weeks now and I find that people who have used Nokia handsets in the past will find the interface fairly difficult and complicated. Having said that though, there are a few shortcuts to make your way around the menus/options.
    The size of the phone might be questionable considering mobiles are getting smaller and smaller nowadays but I feel that the basic functions are there.
    The only criticism I have for this phone is that its battery life i ...

    This is the worst phone I have ever used in 16 years of mobile phone use. It's menu system is unbelievably poor, Nokia and Samsung is 1000% better and more intuative. There is nothing to recommend this phone, after 4 weeks I'm pulling my hair out, the phone struggles to hold onto a signal when talking (even with 4 bars showing). The 3 network is appalling and to top it off try calling customer services in India and find someone who knows what they are talking about!!

    Was given this NEC e606 after agreeing to sign on the day. Held it for 6 days and then cancelled within 14 day cooling off period as overall I thought I could not bear to keep this handset for an entire year. Not the most user friendly phone I have ever come across and the photo quality left me looking for the snow storm in mid summer.
    I would not recommend this phone in any way.

    At first glance the NEC e606 is certainly bulkier than your average mobile phone, yet this is compensated for by a huge array of features. The 65K colour screen is superb and allows for a very clear user interface. Yet despite this many tasks are hindered by a somewhat complex navigation system.

    A lot of work has been put into the 3G services and as such these are easy to use and relatively quick once a connection is made, though this can take a few attempts. Setting up and using some of the ...
