Sony Ericsson M600: Sexy Alternative to Treo and Blackberry

Tagged:

SE just revealed its latest phone that sets its scope squarely at the business market...





Think of the M600 has a trimmed down version of the flag ship and communications-pocket-knife P990. Sony Ericsson has considered the features that business users want most—a QWERTY keyboard, easy to use applications, and fast data connections, and provides it in a sleek package.

Users interact with the candybar form factor phone via a 2.6 inch QVGA touch screen, three-way jog dial, or shrunken keyboard, ala BlackBerry 71XX. The M600 runs Symbian OS 9.1 and UIQ 3.0 and provides fast data connections via UMTS. That’s good, because with all the ways you can push email to this phone, it’s going to need that fast connection. The M600 sports standard email (including IMAP), Visto, Seven, RIM - Blackberry Connect, Microsoft Exchange, Intellisync, iAnywhere One Bridge, Sony Ericsson’s own Mobile Office, and AlteXia. If you’re not using one of those, you might as well stick to snail mail.

For storage, Sony Ericsson passed on the Memory Stick Pro and went with Micro. There is no dedicated headphone jack, but like the Walkman phones, audio connection is done through a proprietary connector at the base of the phone (from there, you can connect your regular headphones in). That is, if you even care about wired headphones, because the M600 supports stereo bluetooth.

No specific word on whether the M600 will sync with your Mac, however, if past Sony Ericsson Symbian phones are any clue, the odds look good for us on-the-go / business Mac users.
