Sony Ericsson has announced its M600, which is an email tool and mobile phone rolled into one slim device featuring touch screen and handwriting recognition capabilities.

M600 is Sony Ericsson's second Symbian OS 9.1 and UIQ 3.0 enabled phone, and features new push email applications, remote synchronization and expandable memory. A range of push email applications are being developed in conjunction with partners including AlteXia, iAnywhere OneBridge, Intellisync, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, Ericsson Mobile Office (EMO) (Try and Buy), etc.

Around 15mm thick - the M600 sports an ergonomic design, and features a large dual-function keyboard; 3-way jog dial; 2.6-inch QVGA screen capable of handling 262K colors; 80 MB onboard memory; and additional 64 MB Memory Stick Micro (M2) which is an ultra-small recording media designed for compact mobile devices.

The M600 incorporates features such as video playback at 30 fps; online picture sharing; SMS, MMS, POP3 e-mail; media player with support for MP3, AAC, ACC+, E-AAC+ and m4a; OMA DRM phase 1; streaming audio/video; audio-out over system connector; 3D games and Java MIDP 2.0; 40 polyphonic ring tones; dual-mode UMTS 2100 MHz triple-band GPRS 900/1800/1900MHz; stereo Bluetooth support; infrared SIR; full HTML browser Opera 8 and RSS feeds.

Sony Ericsson maintains that the M600 makes for better multi-tasking, faster email handling, and high band-width multimedia downloads. It includes Adobe PDF viewer, McAfee and Pointsec encryption as part of Try & Buy packages, and the Certicom VPN client free-of-cost.

Jan W reby, corporate executive vice president and head - sales and marketing, Sony Ericsson, said, "Estimates show that there are approximately 650 million business email users around the globe, and the demand for true mobile email is growing rapidly. While there are some stand-alone email messaging devices available, many people will welcome fast and easy messaging tools integrated into their mobile phone."

Available in Granite Black and Crystal White colors, M600 is slated to start shipping in Q2 2006; and will be available in 4 hardware keyboard variants; QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY and Russian.

yeah, it looks cool but for the first time I feel that Sony Ericsson has taken inpiration from Nokia models. The keypad sucks bad time.

Looks good... Keypad is the only eyesore i think....But feature wise it seems to be great..
A Symbian series phone from Sony must raise expectations.. Wondering about the price though....!!!

All manufacturer's are trying to copy the Blackberry design after it became so popular. First the Motorola Q, then the Nokia E61 and not the SE M600. Out of the bunch, I like the Nokia E61 - it comes with WLAN, Security features, a better screen, etc.

the big screen is good but as u look down on the phone, the keypad is horrible as eveyone said looks like the keys are taken frm a very old jumbo calculator. btw this one doesnt have the stick like P900....and others?

There are 2 of us eagerly waiting for this phone. :) I read about it first on GSMarena and since then have been waiting for it. But only 64MB card is a sort of a drawback! SE should give at least 512 MB with all its hign-end handsets now ;)

I really agree. At least 512MB card is a must with all upper segment phones like this one.. When they can give one with W800i, they can surely give it here..
