Ericsson also announced the new R600. The R600 will be available on selected GSM 900/1800 markets in the fourth quarter, 2001, and on all GSM 900/1800 markets in first quarter, 2002.
The R600 comes in two fresh colors, Luminous Champagne and Ice Blue.
The large 5-row gray-scale display is perfect for messaging and with Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS), the user can send and receive fun and creative messages on the spot. The phone comes with a wide range of pictures, animations and sound effects from the start, and new ones can easily be added. The R600 also has mobile chat, which is an SMS based service that lets the user have a chat session similar to a chat on the Internet.
GPRS is included, and supports speeds of up to 43.2 kbps.
The R600 can be personalized in several ways. The display color can be set to green, red or orange and be used both as a constant background display color and for identifying a caller. Link a color to a contact in the phone book and you get a colorful hint on who is calling.
The R600 has a basic calendar with day, week and month views and reminders when something is due. The phone book lets you store up to 200 contacts and the shortcut function in standby gives users quick access to any contact in the phone book. Also the R600 has four games, Erix, Catcher, Pathy and Ripple.
