New Vodafone-branded K600: the V600iPosted by Luis Camino on Jun 8, 2005 in K600/V600/K608| Press releases
Sony Ericsson and Vodafone have unveiled the V600, a Vodafone branded K600 with a new cover design that sort of makes it look a bit less exclusive or stylish than the original one, mainly because of the new black plastic front plate and keys that replace the aluminium-looking surfaces of the K600. The specs remain the same: 3G, 1.8″ 176×220 262k color screen, 1.3 megapixel camera, 32mb internal memory with no external memory slot, Radio FM and another VGA camera in the front for videocalling. The big deal about the K600/V600 is that they are currently one of the smallest 3G phones compared to the rest of bulky UMTS devices, they pack a reasonably good series of features, and they’re relatively cheap. How’s this called? High-end GSM-low-end 3G hybrid?

S600, Z520, J210 and K608 are official, no photos yetPosted by Luis Camino on Jun 13, 2005 in Exclusives| Hot| J210/J200| K600/V600/K608| Press releases| W600/W550| Z520 I’ve got the press releases since today morning (Sunday 12) but I haven’t been able to publish the news until now (It’s 2:00am GMT). The good part is that, of course, we have new phones! And Ellen has a pretty new name â€â€S600 and really interesting specs, like 64mb internal memory, HTML browser, 176×220 pixels 262k color 1,8″ screen, integrated double stereo speakers, 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, USB support and a bunch of 3D games that can be played holding the phone horizontally (with the support of two extra buttons at the right of the screen), conventionally, or in “L” shape, with the rotating keypad open. The bad part, for the moment, is that Sony Ericsson hasn’t uploaded the official photos to their website and we won’t know if it also looks good until 9:00 am or so (six hours to go). Zoe, surprisingly, seems to be a nice little clamshell phone with decent features. Its official name becomes Z520 and excels the Z600 with a VGA camera, 16mb of internal memory, MP3 support, USB support, integrated handsfree speaker and a series of colorful leds all around the perimeter of the phone that flash in costumizable fashion (even synchronized with the melodies) when someone calls or an sms is received. The press release highlights the small size of the phone. The internal screen is the same of the Z600 (a TFD with 65k colors and 128×160 pixels), and the external is a 4k color 101×80. The Z520 gets the honour of being the first quadband Sony Ericsson: it supports the 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 GSM bands. This two phones use the new charger-data connectors. The J200-based J210 and the K600-spec’d K608 won’t be any great surprise but we’ll have to wait for the photos to see if they’re any cooler than the phones they’re based in. The J210 upgrades the 128×128 pixel STN display from 4k to 65k colors while keeping the Infrared, 600kb internal memory and triband support. I’ve heard that the K608i will be an operator exclusive but I’d say it could be a sim-free version of the Vodafone V600. By the way, new accesories have been also announced: the HBH-610 headset with Bluetooth 2.0 support, the HCB-700 car handsfree kit with a screen, the sporty HPS-60 wired stereo headphones and a new PC card that combines UMTS and WiFi access, the GC99. Nothing is said about the future 4gb Memory Stick DUO cards but this was confirmed to me by a Sony Ericsson representative.

Yesterday I made an early opinion about the new case for the V600, which â€â€from the first photos looked cheaper than the original K600 design. Sony Ericsson just sent these new shots to me and the show a much more stylish plastic material and especially a very attractive back. The design of the surroundings of the camera, including the K750-style lens cap, are really cool. Click below for a couple more photos.

Just a quick note to let you know I have just received a press release from Sony Ericsson talking about new phones Z800 and K600. The Z800 is just the unvodafoned version of the V800 with different â€â€and more appealing covers. The K600 is quite a surprise. A 3G improved K700 (dual UMTS/GSM Triband 900/1800/1900) or a candybar V800/Z800. From the specs that’s what it looks like (sort of): 1.8″ 262k color screen, 1.3 megapixel camera with active lens cap and Radio FM. Not the most detailed press release in the world, certainly, but we can guess the screen is 177×220 pixels and that it has MS Duo support (probably not Pro). From the photos I also guess the camera on the front, just for videocalls, is only VGA or less (0.3 megapixels), as the one in the Z1010. The TrueUSB support borrowed from the V800 and the side shortcut keys from the good old japaneese Premini add up to the exciting pack of features. A poll about why they called it K600 being better than the K700?. By the way this is NOT the so-called 
Tired of my K750’s remote control template for Media Player lacking a couple of functions, I have customized it a bit and thought I should share it with you. As you can see in the background image, it’s the same template but adding the Shuffle, Repeat, Full Screen and Mute functions of Windows Media Player. If your phone has a smaller screen resolution than 176×220 you can resample the image and edit the template with the
