White Paper V600
6 August 2005
Key functions and features
The V600 is a triple mode (UMTS and GSM-GPRS)
mobile phone. It supports handover (GSM–UMTS,
UMTS–GSM) and simultaneous sessions (one
voice and one packet data session or two packet
data sessions).
The evolution of mobile communications towards
3G will greatly increase the scope for new applica-
tions and services such as video telephony and
remote access to corporate networks. 3G brings
multimedia into mobile phones, and it is in this area
that Sony Ericsson can show its vast experience in
consumer electronics and entertainment – music,
pictures and games – as well as its mobile technol-
ogy leadership.
3G
3G is going to be the catalyst for a whole new set
of mobile services, enabling you to access
advanced services anywhere, anytime. You will be
freed from the confines of cables, fixed access
points and low connection speeds and you will
have access to entertainment and on-demand
services to a much greater extent than before.
Screen
An eye-catching feature of this phone is the large
colour screen. It measures 176 pixels wide and 220
pixels high (176 x 220) in portrait mode and has
262,000 colours, allowing high-quality colour imag-
ing.

speaker (earpiece), the loudspeaker, the high-qual-
ity stereo headset or other compatible accessories.

view of applications that are running in the back-

Video telephony
With the speed of UMTS, the V600, and video call
functionality, you can now share the latest news
face-to-face with your family or friends. The video
call key at the front of the phone is an easy way of
starting a video call. During a video call, you can
switch cameras from the front camera to the back
camera. When using the back camera, you hold the
phone horizontally and you can share what you are
seeing with the video call recipient. Apart from the
person you are talking to, you can choose to see
either yourself in the phone display or an alternative
picture from My Items. The alternative picture can
be customized.

With the 1.3 Megapixel camera,
you always have the camera with
you. Take a picture and send it
away as part of a multimedia mes-
sage or as an email attachment.
Video clips
You can record your own video
clips and send them to your
friends or transfer to your compu-
ter.
