I seemed to have a low volume problem when I first got mine - it almost went straight back. For some reason though when your previewing the ringtones even with the volume at 8 (max) you can increase it using the volume buttons on the rhs.
If mine was any louder now i'm sure the speaker would get damaged.

Well buddy, maybe some of us would rather carry ONE device instead of carrying fancy and expensive camera's and all the additional crap that goes with it. We are in the modern era and cell phone camera's are modern. Sorry to say you missed the boat because it sailed a long time ago.

Hello people , I decided to spend some more digital ink about my phone, the V600i ,so to in light you , about some hidden details, who had become , reason for criticism.
First of all, about the sound level in all the sound formats other than MIDI , responsible for that is the internal media player , and the cure is to enable and adjust the internal equalizer , simple as that , the sound level gets a lot of boost under your taste, Treble - Bass- Middle and even Mega Bass !! .(User Guide Page 104).
At the end the sound level it will become acceptable even for previous Nokia owners , like me.
A nice MP3 with rich medium and high frequencies it will do the job nicely.

About the MIDI ring tones , the internal hardware MIDI processor, it does a good job in sound quality , but it does operates at less sound level than the media player .
So , MIDI ring tones that wakes up all the people at 10 meters away , is out of the question, Nokia wins at that match .

Another tip about the 1.3MP digital camera .
I am a hobbyist photographer for four years now, my tests show that :
1)The camera has a fixed focus from 1.5 meters to 6 meters , everything in that range is totally clear and sharp .
2)The CCD gives almost rich Colors , actually very bright and clear .
3)The camera works at it best only for outdoor use with bright sun light, at medium and low light , the pictures shows signs of digital noise .
4)The close up's is not a good idea, as the focus in the lens, is set from 1.5 meters and further .
5)In comparison with other images from other mobile phones that I have see, the overall quality is almost top in Colors and focus , especially in focus and clearness , as it does cover a depth of field like 50 to 70 meters , actually that's not bad at all , its a pleasant surprise.
6)The on board flash is very weak , but if you adjust the camera to operate at night mode , the results is almost acceptable for 1.5 meters range at max.

About the Radio , well I got amazed simple as that , the hands free set , gives a top sound quality , and also the external speaker on the phone performs amazing well.(Better than in Ring tones ) .
The channels separation is Stereo mode is over 75db in other words its top ,and you will find that performance, only in Hi-End radio receivers.
The RDS also works bountifully, and it's totally compatible with all the RDS generators ( I am an electronics' engineer) , so there are no problems with missed text , bad fonts ,or garb aged characters.
Lastly I got totally amazed about the speed of it, in uploads and downloads, for instance a friend of my send to me a MMS , He needed almost a minute and 20 seconds to send a 54kilobytes image to me , and the V600i needed only 8 seconds to receive it . Simply amazing .
The blue tooth headset HBH-602 works fantastic well with the phone , under my test at 6 meters range you have the best results , it works even at 12 meters , but the blue tooth connection becomes unstable.
And finally the browsing speed in the menus is very high , and the menus is well designed , plus the joy stick on it, its accurate in movement, and pleasant to operate it , its does not feels like a cheap plastic ,that is ready to break apart or something.

The phone has a luxurious look , its fast , it does everything perfectly , no software glitches, amazing signal reception at GSM band, no signs of weak parts , it has only less powerful speaker volume than most Nokia s .
In my age, of 36 years old, its difficult to get surprised by a gadget like a mobile phone , but believe me, I did got pleasantly surprised, by this little devil .

Well Seriously... Visit a doctor , anonymous Ghosts are dumping lots of misinformation around , at list i have the phone next to me.
And i believe that V600 or K600 shares the same hardware , so you are just a 0.0000001% of users with this problem.
My advice to you, is to buy a mobile phone with external speaker and 100W RMS amplifier.

Seriously... buy something better. I tried calling with one of these phones... could not hear the person on the other side. Whats the point with a phone you can not call with.

The phone finally arrived to GREECE, I was waiting one month and a half, for it.
The telephone it’s an outstanding device.
Everything works perfectly, and if you are an expert in computers you will enjoy it at the max.
By adjusting the pictures and the MP3s at the proper quality and file-size, for use in a mobile phone, the on board memory becomes more than enough for everything.
3G behavior is top.
Battery life, very good so far.
With the use of the Sony Ericsson DSS-25 Desk Synchronisation Stand, you have everything in the plate.
Sound quality top, body quality top, display quality superb.
Image quality, I did not had the time to make extended tests, but looks above average for mobile, I will soon post more details about it.
Any way so far so good, I can say that I got nothing than the best.
Its not a phone for every one, its mostly a useful mobile extension of your computer.
For people who are not that familiar with computers, they will appreciate the phone less, as a descent cell phone and nothing more.
The point is that the treasure behind this model is their three faces of it.
1) Good looking, 3G , strong battery , top sound quality .
2) Your computers best friend, with Sony Ericsson DSS-25 Desk Synchronisation Stand, it becomes the extension of your computer, mail – data – outlook – you name it .
3) Fantastic radio , believe it or not, even with mono - stereo selection & RDS, Java , games ,Mp3 , and compatible with any file format available .
4) I love the all pack, it is like to was designed just for me. Thanks SE & Vodafone , really nice pack of futures and amazing look in comparison with the K600.

FYI: in Portugal, Vodafone has launch a campaign where they offer 2 of these phones for the price of one. 279eur. Not bad!!!
I got a couple of these for myself.
If anyone is interested in replacing the "customized" software that Vodafone has put inside, you can always flash you phone with the k600 software.
Cheers

I bought this phone about a month ago, and so far I am very happy with it. For many years I have used Nokias, and I wasn't very attracted by the design of the V600 when I first saw it, but once I had it in my hands and began to use it, I began to enjoy its quality. The battery also surprised me positively. It lasts 2-3 days with normal and short video-calls. About the sound. My problem is the opposite of Paulo. Many times during calls I find myself using the side buttons to reduce the calls sound. :P

Your problem is common with sonyericssons. I had the same problem on 2 of my k700s and my k750i(Not to mention all the other hassle i had with them). Steer well clear of sonyericssons.
