Hi-Mobile.net sent us over for a review the first ever phone that ships with UIQ 3.0: the Sony Ericsson M600i. This 3G SymbianOS 9.1 smartphone is one of the most popular this summer (selling at below 375 USD) and so we decided to give it a whirl too. Read on for more info, pictures, screenshots and a video of the device, the P990's little brother.

It could be better (e.g. the menu system, task switching/closing and the virtual keyboard), but it is already pretty usable and worlds away better than UIQ 2.1. My personal beef is only the bluetooth files ending up on Messaging instead of in the normal file system. If you send via bluetooth a file that there is no app for it to deal with it (or if MIME types are not correctly configured), then you are screwed. You can't do anything with that file. Same problem goes for S60 phones though so it's not a UIQ-only problem.
