5th July 2005 - Vodafone has launched yet another attractive mobile phone at its shops, the Sony Ericsson V600i, a model with a sophisticated design and an equally sophisticated range of functions. Users who appreciate stylish phones will love the linear design and classic black and silver colours of the exclusive Vodafone live! UMTS phone. At the same time, the Sony Ericsson V600i offers all the functions that private or business users expect of a high-quality UMTS phone: fast access to the information and entertainment services via the Vodafone live! portal, video and photo functions with the integrated 1.3 megapixel camera and various interfaces for fast data synchronisation. The price is another convincing feature: in connection with the Vodafone UMTS Per-Minute Plus Package 200, the Sony Ericsson V600i only costs EUR 49.50*.

The third Vodafone live! UMTS phone, a Sony Ericsson model, is a consistent addition to Vodafone's existing UMTS phone family. The new V600i model is now available exclusively from Vodafone. It is a convincing, first-rate mobile phone that unites aesthetically appealing design and a wide range of functions. Not only does the UMTS phone have an attractive appearance owing to its sleek black clamshell top and silver edging, it is also pleasantly light at 105 grams and extremely user friendly. A simple navigation concept ensures maximum convenience and fast access to the functions on the Vodafone live! portal. Sony Ericsson's dual front design enables the phone's vertical use as a telephone and horizontal use as a camera. Users who appreciate the advantages and personal touch of videotelephony can initiate the direct videotelephony function at the touch of only a few keys. Video calls can be made if both parties to the call have videotelephony-capable mobile phones and UMTS network coverage, which is already available in 700 German towns and cities.
