Phone is excellent, looks great, battery life is not bad (but not the best), has so many cool features such as 3d gaming, FM radio, media player etc. Camera is good, but at night, even with the light, not very clear (but who cares for £100). Only issue is that of the memory. Why only put 32mb in and not let you expand it? The phone would be perfection if only they put more memory in it. However, for £100, its a bargain, and the only difference between this and the k600i is that it looks much better, its cheaper and its only available on vodafone.

Just ordered one of these things after a slight issue with losing an older phone - total cost from Vodafone UK? £15 and delivered tomorrow. That'll do.
However, I have just read this thread and feel I have to make a few comments.
1. How is poor 3G coverage a fault of the v600i? Answer - it isn't. I've had a 3G phone since Vodafone first offered them and coverage has got progressively MUCH better country wide. At first, I could use 3G in various city centres and that was it; now I get 3G coverage pretty much everyway I go where I'm likely to need/use it. Granted an actual 3G connection is somewhat dependant upon the handset but the coverage is more important. No coverage = no 3G bars.
2. The argument of "this is a modern device and therefore I want my phone, camera, toaster and sink in the same case" is laughable. I'm a semi-pro photographer and the day a cheap gizmo replaces my camera gear is the day when the devil will use ice skates to get to his office. Not in my lifetime will a phone EVER replace the equipment I use. The fact of the matter is, no matter who makes them, cameras in camera-phones are DIRE and more megapixels will make it worse! I have lenses worth more than the phone, the contract price and the cost of the phone calls and data all put together for the last 3 or 4 years and you want me to believe I can use a phone to replace gear like that?! LOL!!! I presume NASA have already sent these S-Es, Sharps and what-nots with their "awesome" photos up in a Space Shuttle to replace Hubble then......
3. How many of those complaining actually, er, *own* a v600i and are no just folk that are fans of a particular make of phone wanting to "bad mouth" any competition irrespective of the fact they've probably never seen one let alone use one. In my experience of various message boards for various topics, those who moan loudest have absolutely no experience of the thing they're moaning about.
4. Why the devil does the look of the phone matter. Person A hates it, Person B likes it, Person C uses it as, stone the crows, a phone. It's personal taste! Some like BMWs, some like Mercs - it doesn't mean it's a poor phone just because you don't like it. A previous phone was a 6630, now, it's not the most stylish phone but I quite like it and I used it. I quite like the overall look of the v600i and I'll use it how S-E intended. Probably. If you're more bothered about showing off with it down the pub (or wherever it is that you want to show it off just before some youth decides he wants it as his phone - after all, you've just been doing the job of S-E/Nokia/Motorola marketing) maybe looking at one of these platinum and diamond rip-offs is for you...

got this fone a week ago and think its good for the price of £100. volume is great (exept of downloaded vids which is ok)the memory is good for 4 full mp3's and lots of vids and games battery is also good for a 3G fone. The only downside of the fone is the camera quality which is ok but not as good as other fones, but the video is of good quality when its on the right setting.

i got this phone and i think its great, it has everything you'd ever need! MP3, Video, photos, voice activation etc. what more could one ask for??? Stylish design? perhaps it could look a little nicer, but all in all it a good phone, with no problems so far and a nice menu system to boot!

DONT buy this phone! is built from really cheap materials and feels horrible, as soon as i opened the box my heart sank. after a few months all the cheap silver finish will start to ware away. The menu system is fast but texting is really really slow as the buttons are slow to respond. A good phone for PAYT but not for contract users.

Reply to post: Does anyone else have problems when trying to get pictures off the phone? It crashes with a CAPI error for me only when getting pix off not movies.
--
yes, had the same problem, proably caused by some leftover corrupt file. Here's what I did: 1) move pictures to new/renamed folder 2) transfer pics with IR, not USB. 3) delete all pics in new folder 4) Turn phone off, then on again. 5) delete new folder
6) always copy individual files, not whole folder from SE file manager to PC. that might have caused the corrupt file.
good luck, hope this helps!

Hi, if anyone can help please post here or email me direct, I'm upgrading and want to get the V600 because it looks like its battery lasts the longest of all 3G phones.
1. How long does the battery last, with 3G on and off??
2. How many sms's can the phone store??
3. Has the phone got security so I can lock it that no one else using it can get into my sms/pictures??
4. Can I send an sms to more than one contact??
thanks!!

Just bought this phone today for a mere £100.
First impressions are very good for this phone as it greets you with a beautiful black coating and metallic silver trim. It feels silky to hold and sits right in your hand as you push the easy to use joystick and watch the bright screen light up.
But i didnt buy this phone for its looks, for my £100 i got a smashing little 3G phone with 1.3 mp camera capable of recording video with zoom and a range of effects. The V600i is very organised and simple to use and vodafone live! allows you to watch live sky television completely free til february.
Although this was the main attraction it also has other features such as: vodafone messenger, mp3 player, bluetooth, gprs, fm radio...etc making this a fantastic phone for its size and price.
The only points i have come across is: the camera on the back is ugly and quite poor quality at night, i can't find where the bloody usb cable plugs in, i need a knife to get my sim card out and it has low battery life when using its full range of features.
Although people have mentioned problems with rington level i haven't (try the volume buttons on the side geniuses) and i strongly recommend this phone to anybody 'in' with modern technology.
