Sony Ericsson Z600 Review: Sony Ericsson's QuickShare (introduced with the T610 phone) gives users the smartest, fastest and easiest way to share images over a mobile network or between devices. Two key presses and a picture is taken, six presses and the picture is sent off to someone. The user interface is intuitive and colorful, the display clear and bright and the ways to connect the phone to other devices are many. The Sony Ericsson Z600 is a true QuickShare product, featuring a built-in camera, bright 65,536 colour TFD display and a range of easy-to-use imaging applications. With the help of its imaging capabilities, a picture can be taken with only two rapid clicks, and then in four further steps sent by MMS or e-mail away. It is also possible to exchange pictures from the Sony Ericsson Z600 directly over a Bluetooth connection, or even drag and drop pictures to a PC.
The Sony Ericsson Z600 is distinguished from the growing clamshell product offering in the market by its stylish shape and exchangeable front and back Style-Up covers. These covers, which were designed in cooperation with Sony Digital Design, are available as accessories and come in an array of colours and patterns that allow you to completely change the look of your Sony Ericsson Z600, coordinating it with their clothes, car or mood. The theme of personalisation is continued on the inside of the phone with the large colour display ideal for Style-Up themes, images or wallpapers. A second display on the outside of the phone shows information such as caller ID, time, network and battery status. The Sony Ericsson Z600 also has a dedicated speaker for the 32-voice polyphonic sound, which reproduces musical ringtones and boosts the sound effects of the mobile games. For the aspiring music producer, there is the Music DJ, feature, a 4-track music creation tool, with which you can create your own great-sounding ring signals and also send them to your friends.
The Sony Ericsson Z600 comes with several enticing embedded games, most notable V-Rally2, which is one of the most popular racing games for game consoles. It provides for hours of fun, played either by a single player or racing against somebody over Bluetooth. For maximum flexibility in game downloading, the phone supports both Java and Mophun game engines, opening up for a wide variety of games. The Multi-Action keypad allows for simultaneous key-presses, to for instance move and shoot at the same time. For the devoted mobile gamer, there is a new game console accessory, Gameboard EGB-10, which gives a true console-style feeling to playing mobile games.
