PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless 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.

My personal beef is only the bluetooth files ending up on Messaging instead of in the normal file system....
Same problem goes for S60 phones though so it's not a UIQ-only problem.


Not really. On S60 phones you can use the freeware program FE explorer, which lets you open the inbox folder and copy/paste attachments anywhere you would like.

Not sure if there is a UIQ version tho.

The fact that the user has to hunt for a freeware-or-not program in order to find solution for something like this, is a brain-dead situation. The system should do the right thing.

As I have said in the past, sending BT files to Messaging is just a remnant of an older, simpler era of cellphones. This is something that must change on Symbian.

There is a way to save the files where you want them. Instead of choosing save in the dialog choose view, and the viewer is launched. From here you can choose save and get an MMFH dialog to save the file.

This way the file won't end up in messaing, but rather where you want it. I thought it would be a good idea to let other M600i (P990i/W950i) users know if they read this review.
