Reviews of the Sony Ericsson W600i (AT&T)

CNET Review
The Good: Attractive swivel design; quality performance; MP3 player with FM radio; Bluetooth and infrared port; speakerphone; 1.3-megapixel camera; world phone; 3D gaming.
The Bad: Poorly designed keypad; ill-placed headset jack; users can't listen to music through Bluetooth headphones; no memory card slot; music-transfer software somewhat glitchy.
The Bottom Line: Although we bemoan the lack of an expandable memory slot, the Sony Ericsson W600i is a remarkable and user-friendly MP3 cell phone.

Review Summary: DesignThe W600i comes in three colors, and we got the bold orange one, which is cheerful looking and about the same color as a rubber safety cone. Owners can buy different colored face plates, if their phone needs refreshing.
