In many premises cameras are prohibited, and to that end, business phones without cameras are a must-have.
However M600 is not up-to-date with today's requirements for business phones. Too bad.
Note that the lack of WiFi also means that phone aint gonna be UMA capable either... (which does not mean WiFi phones are UMA capable)

Looks like the keyboard is using the strange T9 style typing I have on my blackberry phone. Its really odd to use beacuse its not quite T9 as you know it and its not qwerty, takes some getting used to I tell you.

Great looking phone, cracking. Very nice list of features too, someone mentioned it could compete with the p990, tbh i don't know that it will. Its smaller, sleeker, and doesnt have a camera, its aimed at a slightly different market i reckon. Kind of a reduced fat pxx.
it competes with the P990 in the sense that the P990 is the successor to the P910 which up to now has been SE's business phone. The P990 will remain useful to business, but the M600 will also address a business need. So they will compete with each other for the business market, although P990 will have broader appeal outside of the business market as well.
The blackberry and similar are popular because business users want access to their email without needing access to a computer. They also need push email to ensure they get their email with the same ease with which they get text messages. Research has shown that email is the thing that business users complain about the most with respect to pda's; that they don't handle email the way a mobile device should. This and also the fact many smartphones still don't display "normal" websites properly.
For this reason I think the M600 is designed to meet the need for full web access and push email that business users are asking for on their mobiles. This explains the inclusion of umts without a camera of anykind.
If that's the case, then I'm guessing the "m" stands for "Mobile", as in mobile email/mobile internet, or even m as in "eMail"

I like this phone, I can't say I don't. This is a perfect company phone for most companies.
The lack of WiFi makes me think we will see a M610 later for companies that needs WiFi and gives
the chance for an new model ala Nokia...

I'm sure
could release a camera add-on (like the old t68's).

I think the slimness comes from leaving things out, like WiFi. Strange but the battery life is not as good as the P990. I would have thought a business centric device would be designed with better battery life. Also for the UK not having EDGE will be a problem now that Orange and another network plan to support EDGE.

I think I could live without the camera (have a k750 that I can always use when I'm going out, etc...), but the WiFi is a real bummer.
Since this is a business phone, WiFi would have been really useful (not to say the m600 doesn't already offer a range of connectivity options), but the wifi would have been my selling point (vs 990).

The phone spells 'business' all over.
So then this is not the K800? In some threads there was speculation that the non-walkman brother of the W810 would be this phone - apparently not?
