I must admit, when i first got my v600 (today) and heard the lack of volume on the ringtones, i was really cheesed off as i have this little baby for another 12 months, but you can increase the volume by downloading a programme called "MP3Gain" (do a google search)when you use it on a track, max the "Target number volume" to 105 and the volume of your mp3 track will be increased. Next download the track again onto your phone and hey presto your ringtones give out a heavier punch.

Now thats sorted the only thing im a little disappointed in is the memory, but as a few people have said you just download your pictures onto your computer to keep the memory as free as possible, just copy and paste into your picture docs, easy as pye :)

got this phone for 2 weeks now - really impressed... the low ringtone can be sorted by increasing your equaliser controls and also download a program called MP3 Gain - it will let you boost the initial volume of the mp3 thus letting it play louder

Can anyone get the V600 to work with isync? the bluetooth works with everything else like file trans and remote control, but it failed with isync.

Downside again, volume. but I think SE firmware can fix it, just like my k700 before.

Im thinkin of gettin this phone for christmas, apart from the low memory (which isnt really an issue if you can transfer your photos to your pc anyway) and the loudspeaker, are there any other faults? And if ot is so great, why has it got a low enough rating?

I got this phone like 2 days, as part of the vodafone delight deal where they give loyal customers discounts on 3g phones..so only payed like $85au or about 30pounds? Its a very good phone. gr8 sound quality. gr8..well good picture quality, fast internet(vodafone) I even downloaded music clips plays it nice and smooth and stuff.. it doesnt have a flash, I dont think, it just has a bright light.. overall 8.5/10 Great phone great features/accesories. BUT MEMORY is like 32 mbs or something.. So this is very dissapointing.. better to get a k750i or W800i NEEDS MORE MEMORY!!!!

Everything good. Bluetooth works great with FrontRow on the macs. Only downfall is the speaker volume on max output. can barely hear ringtones outdoors. During calls if switched to 'speaker' it's not as loud as eg. nokia 3120.

This phone has everything you need and more.

Advantages:
Radio
3G capabilities
1.3 MP camera
Video capture and playback
Bluetooth
Good Battery life
Listen to MP3s

Disadvantages
No memory card slot

I would highly recommend this phone for those who want a more compact 3G phone without compromising with the battery life. (i.e. Samsung Z500).

The box contains everything you need from earphones to pc cable. Its great value for money. At the moment they are selling on pay as you go in Vodafone stores for £130 with £30's worth of calling credit. :-)

I've been using mine for 3 months now and I'm a happy bunny.

So you have about £250 to spend on a new phone and you want:

Mp3 player
Mpeg4 player
Megapixel Camera
Radio
Good Looking
Light Weight
Easy To Use.... etc

Well change your plans because this phone is going to spin your head. Not only is this phone absolutely gorgeous, lightweight and a reasonable size. It comes with all the bells and whistles you'd expect plus:

With Vodafone this phone now comes with Sky Mobile TV. As this phone is 3g (another advantage) it qualifies for the ability to stream live TV.

This phone is brilliant, im getting mine. You should too.

Got mine yesterday. Some nice features but a little bigger than I'd thought. This is my first 3G phone and I'm liking it very much. Battery seems good, the screen is large and bright, navigation is average, and the camera is excellent. Could have done with more than 32MB memory. One question ... why don't SE and Vodafone produce their sofware for Mac OS X too?!

I am getting one of these phones tomorrow. I want to know is this phone better or worse than the K750i and also I have heard that you have ot be careful with vodaphone as they alter hte software of phones so that they don't have all the features they are supposed to, is this true?

Got the V600i today - just tried the Mobile TV (Vodafone). It seems very 'blocky and the sound is delayed. Is there anything I can do about it or is that what I can expect - Will the Nokia N70 be any better?

that's all folks

very good indeed, the camera is great it has a better camera and a better colour screen. battery life is better than most new phones and its like a nokia to text. my advise is to stay away from the motorola v3 at all cost because its so hard to text with it.
