I like the Sony Ericsson Z600 because it is easy to program and it has a colour screen which my Audiovox 8300 doesn't have. (read more)

Ok, before I bought my Sony Ericsson Z600 I was a strictly Nokia sort of person, but then the screen on my 7210 started going on the blink it was time to buy a new phone..I went into the shop with every intention of getting a new Nokia, but as this was nearly 8 months ago they didn't do any clamshell designs, it ended up being a desicion between the Z600 and an Samsung E700, and after swapping phones with a friend and using the E700 for a week or two I know I made the right choice.
Ok so... (read more)

Written on: 17/07/2004 by ManCo (1 review written)

I've used my Z600 for 6 months now and have to say it's the best phone I've ever had (and I've had a few mobiles in my time). The software and features are an evolution of the T68i. The only minor gripe is the quality of the pictures from the camera however as a phone it's the biz - well happy. (read more)

Always being a Nokia user I was very impressed with the Sony Ericsson Z600. My husband also wishes he had it instead of his Nokia!
After several weeks of use I can still say that I love my phone. The ringtones are great; the ease of use is perfect. The 'click' as it opens and closes to me just feels more secure. The Bluetooth is handy and the only slight problem I have is that my husband's Nokia produces better pictures than my Sony. However I only wanted the camera facilities for spur... (read more)

Well the Sony Ericsson Z600 is a pretty cool mobile phone eg Poly Tones, screen Quality, graphics and so on. The phone is a pretty stylish phone, but not the the best.

What i have picked up on my 2 Sony Ericsson's z600's that Reception is shocking, i have compared it to other phones eg 3100, 3210, 8310 which when they have full reception your stuck with 2 bars which is pretty annoying and dodgy, Battery life is ok but not the best, nokia's last way longer evern when you use its features.

Written on: 07/04/2004 by toady (1 review written)

I had a motorola flip phone before this Sony Ericsson Z600 mobile phone, liked it but it had a mono screen and none of the toys like bluetooth etc.

When I saw the z600 over xmas (and having a free upgrade due with T-mobile which I haggled up) I thought that is definitely the phone for me. And I wasn't wrong.

Have had no problems with the signal strength as some have reported. I'm in London, I guess if you live in the boonies the signal isn't as strong.

The phone's design is stunning in my... (read more)

Written on: 24/03/2004 by SilasAmy (1 review written)

I still can't make my mind up about this Sony Ericsson Z600 mobile phone. The main problem being it has all these capabilities and I have no idea how to use them.

The phone is a bit big (having had the T600 before this probably makes it feel an awful lot bigger!) but the keypad looks really slick and feels really good in your hand. The menu is really easy to work through.

I find that there is a bit of a delay when I'm writing a text and when the box comes down with other spelling options... (read more)

Written on: 15/03/2004 by cityjourno (1 review written)

I used to be a Nokia boy, through and through. You couldn't get to me trust another manufacturer. Then I was introduced to Sony Ericsson's T68i. Nokia who? Anyway - I've just changed mobile phone providers and was offered a new handset. Clutching the T68i (slightly battered almost a year on) to my chest, I was determined to walk out with another. "What a shame Sony don't do a flip-phone." I exclaimed. A Sony Ericsson Z600 was presented before me by the sales assistant. Ok, it was a... (read more)

I bought this Sony Ericsson Z600 mobile phone and I have to say the reception pick up was dire,if i compared the Nokia 6100 in one hand and the Z600 in the other I would have 5 signal bars on the Nokia and 1-2 on the Z600.The keypad and the menus lockup 4 times in 2 weeks twice when texting and twice when accessing the menus,when this happened you could not even switch the phone off as none of the keys would work,so I had to take the battery off the phone then put it back on,to then be...

Written on: 08/03/2004 by xanderd (4 reviews written)

When I first got this Sony Ericsson Z600 mobile phone I didnt like the way it looked (bulky and bizarre), and i also didnt like the way the Flip felt (clicking into place when you open it), however i have now gotten used to these things, and they certainly dont detract from the overall quality of the phone.

Yes it looks a bit bulkier and stranger than other phones, but it is still stylish in my opinion, and sets you apart from the crowd.

The bad points are: Signal strength isnt the best,... (read more)

Written on: 25/02/2004 by wtutty (1 review written)

I have just recently received my Sony Ericsson Z600 and although i am impressed with the fetures this mobile phone has i am not so impressed with the reception. I am comparing this to my previous phone (Nokia 6610)
This is a problem I have had with previous Ericsson phones and I am left wondering yet again why I decided to give them another try. (read more)

Well, Sony Ericsson have pulled it off again. I am a SE T610 owner. Got this Sony Ericsson Z600 mobile phone yesterday on a contract upgrade, and I am as impressed with it as I was when i first got my T610, if not even more impressed!

The phone is basically a T610, with a much better screen, with some changes in ringtones, games, themes and wallpapers to make it different and put into a camshell design. When I say a much better screen, I mean a screen that I can actually see in sunlight,... (read more)

I have had this Sony Ericsson Z600 mobile phone a week now after swapping my Sony Ericsson T610 for it. I don't regret it one bit.
There are so many cool features such as;
Music DJ, a fun little ringtone composer set out simaraly to EJ music maker, this is very fun.
Games, it comes with a lot of good games, including mini golf which i find very funny with the ability to have up to 4 players on the one phone, also V-Rally is pretty decent and other enjoyable games which means there is no... (read more)

Ive had the Sony Ericsson Z600 mobile phone for 2 weeks now and am most impressed. As other have said its a little bulky it actually looks like 2 different phones stuck together.But thats the only gripe.
Its a pleasure to use the menus being fast and easily accessed.The bluetooth function is fantastic no more cables.Easy to upload or send pics,tones,wallpaper to the phone even java games.You can buy a bluetooth dongle for £10 and covers are only £2.99 a shot.The camera is ok too the pics not...

Written on: 27/01/2004 by scarborian (32 reviews written)

I could go rambling on about the features on this Sony Ericsson Z600 mobile phone but reading the other reviews on the site, it has all been said already. Top marks Sony! Great piece of kit, but I wouldn't like to live with it. It looks like it was designed by a co-operative working from two different sets of drawings. The external LCD display is pityful and a trip to Specsavers is definately needed if you want to see who's calling you. But the worst thing about the Z600 is the two halves... (read more)

Written on: 23/01/2004 by aabedi (1 review written)

The Sony Ericsson Z600 software is intuitive and easy to use. Has all the options a mobile phone should have, e.g. infrared, bluetooth, games, calendar, phone book etc etc. Looks very stylish, can be enhanced with extra covers but the two covers that come with the phone make it look awesome, specially the blue one. Only bad point is it doesn't have an active flip (or I haven't found it yet) otherwise, this phone kills all the Nokias on the market. Previously I only used Nokias but now I'm... (read more)

Having suffered the Panasonic GD87 (check out my heated review!) for a whole 11 months...a long time in my terms...I packed in the whole Orange contract and ported my number to Vodafone, resulting in me getting a shiny new Z600 whilst they were still as rare as hens teeth. How smug I was knowing I had seized one before the masses. But then how foolish I was to get it via the particulat service provider I chose to. Naming no names, let us simply say that a particular high street store, let... (read more)

I recently bought the Sony Ericsson Z600 with a friend (we got the same phone and almost the same phone number). I didn't want to change, I had more than enough with my customized Nokia 3310 (I have Star Wars covers).

But when I started to help my friend to pick a mobile, and I saw this one in particular, I thought it was time for a change.

Some other friends have cool mobiles like the Nokia 7650 or Samsumng e700. I think this one is better in almost every aspect. It has the best screen... (read more)

Written on: 07/01/2004 by deankahl (1 review written)

The Sony Ericsson Z600 is the first mobile phone I have ever bought myself. I had been using my Dad's contract hand-me-downs and was using an old Nokia 3330. As I was buying the phone myself I needed to make sure it was the right phone, especially as I was buying SIM Free, in order to stay on my tariff, operator and number. I definately made the right choice with the Z600.

Anyway, enough of the history. The basic overview of the Z600 is that it is the famous SonyEricsson T610, but in a... (read more)

Having owned many mobiles, including the latest Samsung E700 and S300... I can say the technology is here - so why can't they get it right?

Looking at the Sony Ericsson Z600 images on the internet, I thought it is going to be one great phone and bought it as soon as it became available. But holding one is a different story. It is bulky and ugly and very difficult to open with one hand. Camera is absolutely useless. They say the extra speaker is added because users have been complaining... (read more)

Written on: 17/12/2003 by naich (1 review written)

The Sony Ericsson Z600 is without doubt, a very nice phone but it is not perfect.

The organiser is very comprehensive and reasonably easy to use, once you have found where the various features are in the menu system, and the contact management makes keeping track of people's phone numbers and email addresses a doddle. The clear, bright screen is good enough to view a lot of ordinary HTML web pages (as well as WAP ones), as long as they are not too heavy on the graphics. I am also looking... (read more)

OK, let me begin...

I started about 8yrs ago on a EricssonPF768, then T18, T28, Nokia 8210, 8310, 3650 and now back to Sony Ericsson with this, the Z600.

I moved from Ericsson time ago when i discovered the Nokia menu navigation system was better, i'd lost faith in ericsson becuase of slow menus, faulty phones, but pleased to say that since Sony have joined forces, they have restored my faith. Here's an interesting fact: Although Sony & Ericsson came together sometime ago, the T610 was... (read more)

Written on: 19/11/2003 by Sam Spade (2 reviews written)

My z600 arrived today and I'm in heaven! This phone is wonderful! I've got the basic functions sussed out and set my regularly used profiles. I'm learning the various options of SMS which was a whizz on my old Nokia (and Nokia's in general).

I'm basically having a good play around until I find what I'm comfortable with but so far, I'm well impressed.

The Music DJ is amusing and even if you're tone-deaf like me, you can make a canny little tune by mixing a few types with the four... (read more)
