Sony Ericsson Z600

The Sony Ericsson Z600 (codenamed Midori) is a flagship tri-band GSM clamshell phone released by Sony Ericsson in late 2003.

The Z600 was the first clamshell phone to be released under the Sony Ericsson joint venture, with the Z200 following shortly afterward. The Z600 was the high-end phone of the two, and had a similar feature set to the T610, with the main difference being the larger and brighter display.

Features of the Z600 include a built-in CIF quality camera, Bluetooth, and exchangeable "Style-Up" front and back plates, along with a small blue-backlit monochrome external display and support for the optional Gameboard accessory. The phone was praised for its battery life and rich feature set, but criticized for its thick 27.9 mm body.
