Product overview

The S600 has a swivel action form factor and is full of nuances. Most usability is in closed mode and when
needed, quick access to the ergonomic keypad is at your fingertips with the automatic swivel function for
fast texting, typing in phone numbers or searching for particular media files. For synchronisation or
transferring of files between the phone and a computer, a USB cable is provided in the kit.

You can store audio CD tracks in the phone or tune in to your favourite radio channel for music on the go.
Catch the action in stills or capture it on video. There are wide-screen games backed up by external stereo
speakers and console-like game buttons. For games developed for vertical game play you open up the
S600 90 degrees and play them in angled gaming style instead. The fun stuff – pictures, themes,
ringtones, music and videos – can be downloaded from web sites. Besides all the wappages out there, the
S600 supports real Internet browsing letting you visit the Web sites you can’t do without.

The S600 is geared up for fun. Are you?

Note: To be able to give updated information about the implemented technology and functionality of this
product as soon as possible, this White Paper will be released in updated revisions.
