Audio
The Motorola V600 has the ability to play up to 24 simultaneous instruments
for ring tones. Nowadays, all phones are polyphonic. However, anything
more than one simultaneous tone is technically considered polyphonic.
Typically, 16 is the average on the market, with the best going as
high as 40. The V600's ring tones sound very good and definitely enough
to please consumers. It also has the ability to play MP3s. A new novelty
is the ability to listen to music from your phone. In some phones you
can also record your voice as a ring tones. Even though the V600 doesn't
have these features, it's audio capabilities are very good.
Messaging
The V600 supports all of the main messaging types: SMS, EMS, and
MMS. Additionally, it has the ability to add POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP clients
to the phone.
 Instead
of the more widely used T9 predictive text standard, Motorola has instead
decided to use Lexicus Software iTAP method. Essentially they are very
similar and make creating texts easier by automatically recognizing
possible words as letters are being inserted.
Entertainment
Customizable covers are available to personalize the V600. The structure
is metal, with interchangeable covers for the front and back plates.
Add your out personal touch by changing backgrounds, screen savers,
and ring tones. There's also support for Video Playback MPEG4 and H.263.
The V600 is built on the J2ME gaming platform. The V600 comes with
a few preloaded games, including the popular MotoGP. Download and install
from hundreds of games online. Some are free, others require a fee.
The phone has many other useful applications such as organizer and
alarm clock with up to 500 entries, calculator, a basic clock and voice
control. TrueSync software is included with the phone. Synchronize contacts,
and manage the calendar to a PC through either Bluetooth, or data cable.
Internet
Browse the web using the built-in WAP 2.0 browser with xHTML support.
The V600 supports Class 10 (4+2) GPRS for fast transfer rates.
Storage
The phone has 5 MB internal storage memory. Which is more than enough
to store backgrounds, ring tones, games, emails, and text messages.
Unfortunately, the phone is not capable of expandable MMC and SD cards.
So if you run out of memory, you'll have to remove some things. But
it shouldn't be that big of a problem.
Connectivity
The V600 has Bluetooth. Connect wireless headsets, adapters, or devices
to the V600 seamlessly. As mentioned earlier, TrueSync software allows
synchronization between the phone and a PC. Whether it's email, or transferring
pictures or games, the V600 allows easy connectivity. However, infrared
is absent. Many users who have been using an infrared port will be left
in the cold. The only other alternative is to purchase the data cable
accessory.
