Bad, bad, bad, slow menu, memory support sucks 1g won't work, battery life sucks, can't even find a replacement, mic is intermittent which means people can't hear me half the time, I had a NEC616 before which was bulky (hence the need to get the 600i) but never failed, plastic feel to it....... Dont get it

I have been using this phone for 1 year, there is no problem on this phone.
When I rang NEC for technical query, they were so supportive and helpful for me.

Unless NEC does something quick to take care of the many serious problems, its brand name is going to suffer greatly. The unit stinks.

Absolutely horrible phone. I had just arrived back from living in Japan, using the Docomo phone with i-Mode. When I saw that I could get the i-Mode here too, I jumped at the chance. Huge mistake! It's currently in for repairs for the third time in less than 12 months. The same problems as everyone else - the battery died at the drop of a hat (that problem has finally been fixed but I only had to wait, oh, nearly three months to get it back!); now the fact that people can't hear me when I'm speaking to them (unless I have the headphones in with the mic attached). Worst phone I've ever owned. I only wish I'd seen this site earlier so I knew who to direct my complaints to. The boys and girls at my local Telstra shop wouldn't know their a**hole from their elbow.

The phone is totally absurd!!! You cant use mp3 as ringtone,the camera is lousy, the bluetooth is like non-existence, the time needed for messages to load is even more time-absorbing......................

I purchased 5 of these phones for family.
Out of those 5 four have been in the repair shop.Calls drop out, people cant hear me on the other end, battery goes flat quick. I hate this phone,and wouldnt recommend it.
On the good side staff at Telstra told me if the phone needs to be reaired for a third time i will get a new one and I will asking for a new model. My advice complain and tack it back.

This is the worst mobile phone we have ever had. We purchased 6 months ago and have had nothing but trouble with it. Battery lasts sometimes for a day and sometimes 5 min. The phone continually turns off, even if battery fully charged. There is no warning the phone just turns off even if part way thru a call. Coverage is terrible. My sister in law has the same phone and the same list of problems. Do yourself a favour and steer clear of these toys. There are a lot better options for the money.

CRAP! CRAP! CRAP!

My first N600i Stuffed up in so many ways - most of them have been listed in prior posts, NEC replaced my first handse with another N600i which wouldn't even turn on - I'm in the middle of disputing this with the company and think there going to refund the worst AU$729 i've ever spent!

Keep complaining, you'll get somewhere eventually.

Email your complaint to: sales.marketing@nec.com.au, you should recieve a reply!

The phone is total dud, and next to useless, where do I begin:

SMS arrives user waits 10 to 15 seconds before it's actually viewable,

Send an SMS wait 10 - 15 seconds before u can do anything. Then your left with a screen option. Something useful no way! It's an NEC. The option your left with is an option to reply to same person! wheres the sense?

No flash on the camera. I cant find MP3's i've downloaded into folders on the memory card.

Ringtones- cant use MP3.

iMode - battery lasts about 5 min.

Can't charge while up loading / down loading net result flat battery.

Add / Delete phone numbers takes all day

T9 is absurd, i used to use it on my nokia no probs here forget it.

If it was a bit bigger i could us it for a boat anchor ..

I am so glad this phone was a gift.
Having been a Nokia user for the last 10 years this phone sux in comparison. Counter intuitive interface, battery goes flat without warning, bad PC software, can't upload midi files as ringtones! Can't download an existing ringtone to work out it's format, can't use mp3 as ringtone, haven't used i-mode and don't intend to. Telstra wasted a shitload on that! HAHA!
