White Paper V600

Key functions and features

The V600 is a triple mode (UMTS and GSM-GPRS) mobile phone. It supports handover (GSM–UMTS, UMTS–GSM) and simultaneous sessions (one voice and one packet data session or two packet data sessions).

The evolution of mobile communications towards 3G will greatly increase the scope for new applications and services such as video telephony and remote access to corporate networks. 3G brings multimedia into mobile phones, and it is in this area that Sony Ericsson can show its vast experience in consumer electronics and entertainment – music, pictures and games – as well as its mobile technology leadership.

3G

3G is going to be the catalyst for a whole new set of mobile services, enabling you to access advanced services anywhere, anytime. You will be freed from the confines of cables, fixed access points and low connection speeds and you will have access to entertainment and on-demand services to a much greater extent than before.
