Haven’t SE been busy this week – not content with the M600, it has also given away some more details of the P990i which is the highly anticipated successor to the P910i PDA smartphone. The new features are pretty mouth-watering too; how does a business card scanner grab you? It combines the 2 megapixel camera with character recognition software to copy details straight into your contacts list. You’ve also got an integrated virus scanner and firewall which should fit in well with the phone’s push email service.

The absence of a camera in this smartphone / BlackBerry killer makes it an easy candidate for the corporate market. The M600 boasts its own push email system, touchscreen and the Symbian 9.1 operating system. The reduced keyboard isn’t the full QWERTY but instead shares two letters per key which will no doubt take a lot of getting used to. It also uses the new compact Sony Memory Stick, called the M2, and is one of the first handsets to incorporate an RSS reader which looks set to be a big thing this year.
