The Sony Ericsson V600i is basically the Sony Ericsson K600 handset modified a little for use with the Vodafone Live! service. The primary differences here are cosmetic - the handset looks a little different, and the Vodafone Live! service is preinstalled, along with a Vodafone-ised interface.
Like the K600, the Sony Ericsson V600i is a competent but pretty straightforward 3G phone, following in the footsteps of the well regarded V800i and the less successful F500i devices. It certainly seems that Sony Ericsson are happy to modify handsets for Vodafone in this way, but although the V600i is technically a Vodafone exclusive, it doesn't have the true exclusivity of a phone such as the Sharp 902.
We said before that the K600 was primarily interesting because it was a true mass-market 3G phone, and the V600i is no different. In fact, this slightly low-key approach to 3G handsets may well attact customers who didn't know that they wanted a 3G handset - certainly the V600i has all the 3G features you'd expect, but in most ways it's quite a normal device that will probably be a natural evolutionary step for many Vodafone customers.
