Sony Ericsson Z600 : great games in great phone

Sony Ericsson Z600 has been a great phone. It has a good display, loud ringers, great connectivity, and excellent battery life. The one thing that they could improve on this phone is the camera, which is pretty low resolution.

The Sony Ericsson Z600 is a clamshell camera phone with a specification similar to the popular T610. It's not a small phone, and is really quite heavy, weighing in at 110g. On the outside, it's nice to look at, sleek with no external aerial, and available in a wide range of colour schemes. The covers can be easily replaced with interchangeable Style-Up™ covers. The external display is tiny and black and white, but inside is a good quality 65k colour screen with a good resolution. This screen uses TFD technology, which makes it suitable for viewing in sunlit conditions, and is superior to the screen on the T610, although it's not as good as the higher-spec Sony Ericsson phones such as the K700i.
