Z600 Available!?!

[Insomniac]

I was in Phones 4u on Saturday staring at the T610 and getting all excited (like a little boy) :D

Anyway, I picked up their October catalogue on the way out and noticed when I got home that they're offering the Z600 on contract for £50! And the shop is doing a £50 trade in offer right now! I'll phone them up this week and find out if it actually is available!

What I'd like to know is this...
Can anyone give me a definative list of differences between the Z600 and the T610?

Right now all I'm aware of is the fact that its a clamshell and that it has a better screen (glare resistant?).

Those two changes, clamshell and screen, are the major points.

perhaps it is important that z600's battery is smaller...

It is available in the US on ebay from a seller who has listed his office number and is also selling other phones. What's more, you can directly use your credit card to buy from him, so that at the slightest hint of a fraudulent deal, you can be on the phone with your card issuer. Luckily, one of my cards is a Capitalone card; they take frauds seriously and will be after the guy like a bloodhound should i complain.

Thing I wanna know is, is it worth going in for the z600? I know the camera res. is less than the Nokia 6600, but the size is also a good deal smaller than the 6600.
Main thing is the reception quality. Sony Ericsson phones are not exactly known for their reception quality, are they?

I think the reception on the T610 is a definate improvement over the older phones.

I've been looking at the 3D model thingy for the Z600 and I feel its kinda ugly for a clam shell, and I'll only really go for it if its got definate improvements over the T610. That and the fact that I've already promised my T100 to my pals wee sister and would feel bad trading it in :(

The smaller battery also sound like an issue...:rolleyes:

I found the T610 to be worse than the T68i on both 1900 and 900 Mhz bands.

I am hoping that the Z600 will be better, but I have my doubts.

Smaller battery will be an issue since the T610 battery life was not as good as what SE claims.
