I'm thinking of getting a SE Z600 from e2save on a BT Mobile 100+
contract at £9.99 per month for the first 6 months, £25 thereafter.
So, what is the general opinion of the Z600, is it a good phone, any
downsides?
Also, how easy is it to unlock one, or do they come factory unlocked
from bt mobile?
TIA,
Chris

Rather large for a flip phone, see demo models in a local phone shop. I'd
consider the K700i as an alternative.

Hopefully someone else can answer that but I'd **guess** they're already
unlocked.

Based on reviews and specs I can't wait to get my hands on mine :-) Just
ordered on orange despite knowing orange modified it to muck up the
shortcuts.

Excellent phone. Only two real disappointments for me:
1. No EDGE (EGPRS).
2. No support for wave audio (only MIDI).
Plus the menus are a bit less intuitive than my old T39m.

It's not all that much bigger than other clamshell phones, and is quite light
for its size. I personally don't see that as a real issue.

No, but then I don't keep track of that sort of thing.
