If you prefer the traditional was then you can type your letters individually but personally my favorite is predictive text. The twist from the Samsungs old mobiles with predictive text is as you start to type out the word a small menu appears below enabling you to scroll down and pick the correct word instead of guessing and pressing next word and hoping for the best. It is easy to add ...

Advantages: A very good looking phone. Disadvantages: Battery can be used up quite quickly
...choose I went for the Samsung G600 in a colour called Ebony Black but is actually more as what I would describe as a gun metal black. Two days later the phone turned up at home, I was eager to get this sorted out quickly as I was losing calls, so I undid the packaging and switched the sim's over and away I went and after a sufficient charge turned the phone on.
For the next two hours I was discovering how different a Samsung was to a Nokia and the ... ...with the phone that contains Samsung PC Studio that you install on your computer. From here you can edit to your hearts content and address any issues that you have with the photos and any clips you've taken by adding titles and so on to really jazz up what you've taken.

...phones. I have had 4 Samsung phones now and the screen resolution, features, camera and battery life on the G600 has far surpassed any of my previous phones. My first impressions on seeing the phone was "oh no not one of those annoying slider phones". In the past I have hated them and vowed never to purchase one, so luckily it was free and as the saying goes "don't look a gift horse in the mouth". Three days later I don't think I could go back to ... ...is clear to see that Samsung have clearly put a lot of effort into the detail. On opening the screen it is possible to see the clouds moving, birds flying past and at night a few shooting stars go by. The picture is so quaint yet very appealing. I also like the way a fountain pen writes the number, it's just another way of making the phone that little bit more unique.

...market at the time, the Samsung G600 came highly recommended and was the obvious choice to go with this contract. I had recently spent a year with the truly awful Nokia N73, and was ready for a change. I am now one month away from the end of my contract, and in the past 18 months the Samsung G600 has lived up to its billing and then some. It is a fantastic phone, and one that is now much more affordable. So, here's a rundown of the features and how ... ...My ratings for the Samsung G600 should be put into context. This is not one the latest phones on the market and has been out a while, but has stood the test of time exceptionally well. For gadget fans that always want the very latest devices, go for an iPhone, HTC Touch HD, LG Renoir, or Sony Ericsson C905. But for the rest of us, the Samsung G600 is a superb phone and a good all rounder. It offers excellent performance, a good range of useful features, ...

...was always a fan of Samsung mobile phones and i am happy with the brand. The main reason for preferring this phone was the 5px camera as I like taking photos and could use it any time where I don't have my actual digital camera with me.

I recently decided to change from a pay as you talk to a contract pay as you go tariff. Looking at the phones available, i saw the G600 and was impressed by the look of the phone, so i risked it knowing not a lot about it and the risk paid off.

The camera is the most amazing feature about the phone. The 5megapixel photos are truly phenomenal, i didnt even bother taking a camera on a night out as the picture quality is of such a high standard that it was unnecessary. And there are numerous extra camera features to be used if necessary, such as taking mosaic pictures, ...

Advantages: Good body layout, bright screen, battery life, photo quality, computer software, Disadvantages: Sending SMS requires more keystrokes, Shortcuts not fully configurable
I bought Samsung G600 couple of weeks back on contract from e2save. Initially I was not very sure about the phone as the reviews were quite conflicting, although after owning the phone now for more than two weeks I thihk I am quite pleased with the buy.
To start with the points I like about the phone:
1> The phone body layout is very good, the phone feels great in hand, it's slim but not very difficult to handle.
2> The screen is quite bright, ... ...satisfactory - charged once in three days after moderate use (not much used the music player or camera)

6> Software to install on the computer is nice, also when connected by USB cable, the phone charges which is very good feature that lacked in my old Nokia ...

It also comes with a Samsung Bluetooth headset, Software for the PC Studio, headphones (with the radio pickup), USB lead and power lead.

It takes mp4 videos at VGA size and of decent quality. It is also pretty slim and fits nicely in the pocket. BUT The painted metal will chip after general wear and tear!

Review of Samsung SGH G600
Advantages: easy to use, great memory Disadvantages: a couple of kinks
The Samsung G600 is a stylish and elegent slider phone. It is very slim and nice to hold, fits perfectly in your hand and is comfortable to talk on. It comes with a bluetooth headset, a 1gb memory card, a handsfree kit, charger and a data cable.

I decided to go for the G600 as I preferred having a phone with buttons and the camera was of a higher quality.

The only downside it that it can drain your battery if you take picture after picture with the flash but everything else ...

Advantages: 5MP Camera, MP3 player, Slider phone Disadvantages: Bit bulky & Heavy
I've always liked Samsung phones - first was my trusty V200, then my E900 so I fell in love with this phone as soon as I saw it. Unfortunately, despite it's sleek looks and ease of use I'm really disappointed with it. Maybe I've got one from a dodgy batch but despite returning it (twice) I'm still plagued with niggly problems.
1. The backlight on the keypad (and sometimes on the screen) dip out and/or dim making texting in low light highly frustating. ... ...which is so annoying especially when you're half way through writing a text and realise that it's all gibberish.
3. The dictionary forgets new words all of a sudden - for example XXX at the end of a text, you can be using it quite happily yet on next text you send it's forgotten it. And where is the dictionary hidden? I want to remove words that I'll never use so that there's more memory for my custom ones, but I cannot find it on any of the settings ...

Owning only samsung mobiles for about the last 3 years, i found them to be very good quality, and packed full of features. This is my newest to my samsung lineup: the G600
Using a slide feature just like most of the other samsungs, i find this design to be the best, as i like the way in which sliding the phone down cancels all actions.
The thickness of the phone is suprisingly very thin given the features it provides (at around 15mm). Although ... ...the phone feel much stronger and durable, emphasising the phones brilliant build quality.
The 5 mega-pixel camera i find to be the most useful feature of this device, protected by the cover on the back, and then fully revealed on sliding the phone open. Photos taken at night are not that particualy good, but then again this is no SLR, its a phone. The large amount of featres provided with the phones camera are also very useful, allowing me to adjust ...

Advantages: Nice look to it, good backgrounds, lots of features Disadvantages: Poor quality camera really lets this phone down, bad software for PC
Having only ever owned a Samsung phone throughout the many phones I have owned in my life, I decided to carry on the tradition by buying the Samsung G600. It has served me well and has a number of really good features. One of the best little features I found with this phone was that there are a number of nice backgrounds preloaded onto the phone that can be changed in the settings menu. I currently have the puma background that shows up in the main ... ...I also like the espresso theme but I find the puma background the nicest. Between the phones memory and the sim card, 1000 contacts can be stored in your phonebook, and 200 messages in total can be stored in the text message folder. To be honest I really dislike the fact that you can only store 200 messages, as I will never fill up the 1000 spaces in the phonebook unless I ask every person I ever meet for their number. I can easily get through 200 ...
