CNET.co.uk judgement:
If all you are looking for is a simple mobile phone, the SPV M600 is overkill. But if you want a PDA and a mobile phone, and don’t fancy carrying two devices, it could be just the job -- it packs the Windows Mobile 5.0 features into hardware little bigger than the average phone
Editors' Choice Nominee 2006
From its pocketable design to its nifty camera to its excellent PDA features, this smart phone delivers across the board
