Motorola V600 is a clamshell mobile phone made by Motorola, the company's flagship GSM handset for 2004, and designed as the successor of Motorola V60. The V600 is a quad-band "world phone", operating on GSM/GPRS bands 850/900/1800/1900. The direct successor was the Motorola V620 and then V635, with some improvements, until being majorly succeeded by the functionally identical Motorola V3 (RAZR).
The Motorola V600 has an integrated camera (VGA resolution), color display (65,000 colors), polyphonic ringtones and Bluetooth connectivity. It was finished in a metal-clad aluminium designed exterior that was considered stylish much like its predecessor. On the exterior, the V600 has a translucent cover in light blue under which is the monochrome second display.
The V600 was positively received despite its delayed release. It became, alongside the other two models of Motorola's "triplets" - Motorola V500 and Motorola V300 - among the top-selling GSM phones in the US in the first quarter of 2004, boosting the company's net income and global market share. The V600 along with the other two aforementioned models also gained popularity in European markets.
