THE GOOD NEWS: The specification reads well and it looks lovely. THE BAD NEWS: When you use the V600, you realise the serious shortcomings. 1) Hopeless battery life 2) unintuitive and very slow software 3) buttons activate while in your pocket! 4) names have to be 12 characters or less 5) poor signal (compared to previous Nokia) 6) doesn't have useful features like call waiting, name search etc 7) case scratches VERY easily 8) memory stuffed full of pointless ring tones and nasty desktop themes.
