As has been posted elsewhere - thought it'd be useful to have it here.

Of course, Orange use the term 'coming soon' incredibly loosely.

very loosely if we can go by past history

yea this was another roumoured three phone but as of yet no news also on the orange web site its payg which means if it is released the retail value of the handset is going to be low unless they stick a ridiculous price on it!

It's only coming soon on contract... no mention of payg...

im sorry ben i was seriously wrong honest mistake i dont like the look of it however! so ill wait for the z500 i think

[Jon3G]

Its a very good looking phone and I hope this comes to Orange soon because I want to go back and I already have a 6680

[bagpuss102002]

you cant be serious jon it has 32mb in built memory and its non expandable this lets it seriously down i like to store information on my phone i hope three dont release this and let somebody like t-mobile have the gastly thing (p.s this is my opinion) :D

[Ben]

It's certainly not the 'power' handset that the 6680 is, but I'm confident it will have its place.

It's only 5g heavier than a 6230 and looks simple/generic enough to appeal to a wide audience. I hope that they're stacked high and sold cheap to assist the takeup of video calling even if there isn't enough memory to download too many clips etc - a bit of an LG but hopefully even more large-scale.

[Jon3G]

So I take it the phone cant take Sony memory sticks?

[getti]

The K600i does NOT have any type of expandable memory which is a real shame.

It has a 1.3 megapixel camera , FM Radio and other SE features plus 3G for video calling + data.

Now if only they had taken the specs from the K750i, added a facing camera and made it 3G it would have been my ideal phone

[Jon3G]

That is a real disapointment, I was going for that phone when it launched on Orange.
:mad:

[Ben]

It's certainly a disappointment for our crowed, but I think for the general public this phone will sit quite nicely. There are too many overcomplicated phones in the 3G arena at the moment!

[Jon3G]

Cant agree with you more Ben, this is what 3G needs a simple phone with enough to satisfy the average user and the more users that take up 3G the quicker the development and a better 3G world all round for us and the rest :)
