Design The i600 follows the traditional clamshell form factor with an external antenna located on the top right edge of the phone. The large 176 x 220 screen with 65,000 colors dominates the inside of the cover. A smaller monochrome LCD screen, which displays incoming calls, current time, battery life, signal strength, and other information, is located on the outside of the cover. A five-way selection button allows you to navigate and control the Windows Mobile interface, and there are also up/down buttons on the left side of the device for easy access to basic controls. A standard 2.5mm headset jack is placed just above these controls. An SD/MMC memory expansion card slot is housed on the right side of the unit. The infrared data port is housed on the top of the unit, and a universal charger/USB data port is on the bottom. Calling Features The i600 has all the latest calling features you've come to expect. The built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. The call log makes it easy to retrieve the last 50 incoming, 50 outgoing, and 50 missed calls. Vibrate modes and custom polyphonic ringtones can also be set to your preferences, so you'll know who is calling without having to look at the LCD. The i600 also features speaker-independent voice recognition, which allows any user to dial a number by speaking the name of a contact from a phone book or by speaking the digits of a phone number. GPS location technology pinpoints your exact location when you dial 911. The included Pocket Outlook software features a contacts list that is cleverly integrated with the phone's dialing functions. Messaging, Internet, and Tools Designed as a complete solution for people who want to bring their office with them, the i600 comes packed with pocket versions of Outlook and Internet Explorer. In addition to keeping track of contacts, Pocket Outlook features integrated calendar and e-mail functions.

Users who want Internet connectivity on the road with their laptop or PDA can tap the i600's wireless modem capabilities (Sprint data plan charges apply). The phone also includes Microsoft ActiveSync (version 3.7), which allows you to synchronize your e-mail, contacts, appointments, and tasks lists quickly and easily.
