Philips M600 is a new music-oriented mobile phone that should be released pretty soon under Philips' brand name. The handset comes in a candybar form factor and has a very nice look, hence we could say it's both a fashion and a music phone.

M600's highlights include the SRS WOW technology for the best possible audio experience, Music player with support for MP3, WMA, MIDI and AMR, music-dedicated keys, Philips high-end headsets and Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP.

The rest of the phone's features are the ones of a an entry-level device: dual-band GSM connectivity (900 / 1800 MHz), GPRS, a 2 inch TFT display with 256K colors and 172 x 220 pixels, a 1.3 Megapixel camera with video recording, WAP 2.0 browser, USB 1.1, Java MIDP 2.0, embedded games and microSD card slot for up to only 2GB – not really enough, since we talk about a music phone which should allow users to store as much music as they want.

The M600 measures 105 x 44 x 15.3 millimeters and, like most of the Philips phones, it includes a powerful battery that can provide up to 40 hours of continuous music playback time. The talk-time and stand-by time were not unveiled, but they're sure longer than the ones offered by most of the music phones currently on the market.

Philips M600 will surely be released in China pretty soon (since all Philips handsets are now produced there), but there are no details about its availability in other countries. Anyway, knowing that it has support for many languages, including (besides Chinese) English, French and Russian, the handset could also make it to Europe.

A price for the new Philips M600 was not announced, but it will probably be a bit more than what we usually categorize as being affordable.
