what a dumbass thing to say!!! hahaha right.........why am i buying a PHONE!?!?!?! maybe to dial my friends up and check the time, or even make plans on my calendar!??? wtf?. im sure dude knows what hes looking for, hes just asking our subjective opinions about the m600. .
Actually he has given little or no criteria by which to meaningfuly differentiate a phone or get any insightful responses. When he dropped the term "Fun" it should be a red flag for you. M600i is not a fashion phone, nor is it an easy phone. It doesn't even have a camera to play with and show your friends. It doesnt have wi-fi.
Most people who buy this phone will have thought about their needs and deliberately chosen to take this phone despite it not having several "popular" features. Its not an impulse buy or a random buy. This type of phone is not at all suited to that kind of consumer.

Best post of this thread. You are exactly correct. This is not a fun phone. Hence no Walkman branding nor CyberShot. This is a biz phone. A phone for a person that knows his needs before he has to ask. I have this phone and a k800i. They are not nearly the same, and serve different purposes and I do not confuse the two. If you have to ask then you do not need the phone. Sorry to sound harsh but this is the truth.
What I would do is go out to the SE website and look around.

I`d say it's a biz AND a fashion phone. Its design, color scheme and formfactor appeals to people who do care about looks and design. I've read loads of posts about the M600 where people boast about the nice style of the phone in the very first place! This is not common to business phones at all. Most business phones focus on functionality, durability and endurance. The M600 offers something more: style! And style can be related to fun, imo.
Anyway, people should be free to start any kind of topic-related thread here (unless there are other similar threads already). There are no "dumb" questions. If you think a question does not merit a sophisticated and concrete answer of yours, just ignore it and don't post, because anything else is simply off-topic.
QVGA, let me answer your questions:
1) I know i'll miss the camera. -> How much you'll miss it? Is it essential? You shouldn't buy the phone if you can't live without the camera.
2) But, is M600 a generally nice phone to use? -> It is really nice. Phone reception and quality is good. Overall the phone offers much more functions than the usual mobile phone. Have a look at the SE website and decide whether you need all those features.
3) Is the screen nice and vivid as a K800? -> Don't know, as I haven't seen the screen of the K800. You might ask sapporobaby for that as he has both the K800 and the M600. But the screen of the M600 is larger than the one of the K800 in terms of dimensions. I use it to watch full-length movies on it while on the train and it's gorgeous. Problem is, though, that in sunlight it's very hard to read.
4) I am not familiar with smartphones but they intrest me a lot, so will I get use to it? Is the phone fun to use? -> Difficult answer to give. As I said before, imo, it's a business fashion phone, but it's definitely NOT the typical fun phone of which there a hundreds of them out there.
5) MOST OF ALL, does it have a wide 3rd party application base like Nokia? -> Not yet, but growing. I doubt, however, that it will ever have as many 3rd party applications as Nokia phones have.
Hope that helps!

it sounds like the w950 is going to be the perfect "fun" smartphone.

Yes, mobman, that's what I forgot to add: QVGA, if you want your phone to be more "fun" than "smart", wait for the W950 (still doesn't have a camera, though).

The W950 is an odd bird, as without a camera it's not really a "fun" phone, and without an alphanumeric keypad it's not a business/messaging phone (few uses handwriting nowadays). Sure, it's got a lot of integrated memory for music and video, so it's half fun.
I have an M600, and I'm pretty happy with the PDA features, yet it could be a bit less buggy, especially in the MIDP department. As far as I know the P990 runs the same software, so is it equally buggy?
