Samsung SGH U600 Ultra Edition 10.9

...saw the latest model of Samsung P300 on display, and without any hesitation, I signed a 12-month's term with O2. The contract covered unlimited calls and text for 25 pounds per month. When this contract expired last year, I decided to have a new contract with Phones4U for a longer term - 18 months. Again, I chose the handset that stood out from the rest of the units on display, another Samsung model, SGH-U600. Unfortunately, I could not have O2 network ...
...sharing the value of having Samsung SGH-U600 which truly delivers wherever I go, whatever things that I really want to do and to be connected 24/7 locally and abroad. If you are looking for an old model that you can effortlessly slide inside your pocket, no doubt, this is the one not to be ignored. SGH-P600 is not a perfect unit however, it perfectly served as a mobile companion and its shortcomings/downsides are overshadowed by its strong features ...

Review of Samsung SGH U600 Ultra Edition 10.9

...comes attractively packaged in a Samsung box and it includes the handset and battery, a USB cable to connect to the computer, software in order to manage your media files and transfer items to/from the phone, a mobile phone charger, headphones for your mobile phone and a user's manual. Overall - this phone is, in my opinion, brilliant. The quality is so high, the positives far outweigh the negatives, and the applications are useful and fun to use. ...

Review of Samsung SGH U600 Ultra Edition 10.9

...I would review my old Samsung U600. When this first came out, I loved it. I was so desperate to get it that I swapped an upgrade with a colleague so I could upgrade to it there and then and he would have my upgrade a few months later. Was the U600 worth all this hassle? Let's find out. == ...Overview of the U600... == This phone is available in many different colours either on contract or pay as you go. At the time of my purchase, only Midnight ...
...feature on this phone, so Samsung says, are the touch buttons for controlling the menu and calls. Samsung's first touch button phone was the E900 but that was far too sensitive so they refined it and built it in on the U600. Again, it's 2G with 3.2 megapixel camera. It's Quad-Band and it has place for a memory card. It has all the normal function that you would find on a modern phone these days including email, calendar, memos, etc. == ...The different ...

Review of Samsung SGH U600 Ultra Edition 10.9

...has to be the slimmest Samsung phone I have ever had, at first I was worried about dropping it as it may break! But after 2 weeks of owning the phone and a few drops here and there. Not only is it still not scratched but still working, which is a plus for me. My U900 is purple and I only had a choice of purple or purple, so I went with the purple one. I have looked into over colours on other networks and at the car phone warehouse you get more choice. ...
...phone itself The Samsung U600 is from the Ultra Edition II range, the U900 is slimmer and very lightweight than the D900/D900i . the slide-open is really smooth, in the past the slide opening has been far from smooth with a clunky feeling to it and with one drop the slider had broken. The shimmering casing is very attractive and elegant, the large colour display screen dominates the front while the phone is closed, when the phone opens the key pad ...

Review of Samsung SGH U600 Ultra Edition 10.9

...Computer software *************** The Samsung software is really good. A revelation to me really. Easy exchange of video and mp3 from computer to the phone which was picked up with ease. Simple drag-and-drop affair. The phone has 60Mb memory which is expandable via a microSD card which slots into the side. The software will also sync with outlook for numbers and addresses as well as your calendar info. The software actually looks as good as the ...
...I know phones have done this for ages but I'm a total phone retard and it's a real plus I've pooh-poohed in the past. Camera ****** 3.2 megapixel camera with totally bloody pointless LCD flash. What's that all about? It'll take a decent photo outside (which is easily transferable to the pc), but inside its rubbish. Blurry and dark is all I've had so far so I'll stick to my camera thanks. Phone camera always strike me as being OK for spy's but ...

Review of Samsung SGH U600 Ultra Edition 10.9

I've had the Samsung SGH U600 for a couple of months now and it's battered! The phone which I had before I got an upgrade was in better condition after a year than the one I have now! It's not the type of phone you can just throw into your bag or pocket, not that I'm careless with it but the screen is especially scratched, which is a shame because it's a great looking phone, really sleek and shiny. But if you don't really care what your phone looks ...
...different functions, the phone itself is really easy to use although you have to be careful, the touch screen is really sensitive, I don't find it a problem because my old phone was also a touchscreen so I'm used to it, however if you're not used to it You may start to think the phone has a mind of it's own when it suddenly decides to ring your auntie Ethel who you don't particularly want to talk to, and then deletes a text message that's taken 20 ...

Review of Samsung SGH U600 Ultra Edition 10.9

After previously owning a Samsung D800 slide phone and being extremely impressed with the interface and ease of use, i thought i would keep with the same design when recently upgrading to a contract. After owning it for a couple of months it has exceeded all expectations and is a massive improvement on my previous model. One of the main attractions with this phone is the slide mechanisms, which has really been adopted bu Samsung lading to an impressive ...
...that i like about the samsung range is the user interface, which although updated in this phone is still as elegant and easy to use as the old one. the menu is extremely easy to use and all of the options follow a logical order meaning that you can find anything extremely easily. An impotant factor with any phone is its battery life, which does depend greatly on how much you use it, but for my amount of use i find it to be just as good as some of ...

Review of Samsung SGH U600 Ultra Edition 10.9

...day, visually its the best Samsung phone I've seen ever. But does the "personality" match the looks? The box itself is so small, so slim, so compact that it gives you a taste of things to come. When you open the sleek blue box, you get the handset, the battery, the charger, a pair of headphones, a USB cable,CD software, User Guide booklet and other random leaflets. These are all the bog standard accessories that you would expect to get from a phone. ...
...phones. To conclude, the Samsung U600 is a very good phone bar the dire battery life. I think its the best looking phone in the market at the moment ( From April 2007) and generally one of the best phones out now. 10.9 Millimeters matter. Thanks for reading and I hope you've found my first review useful. ...

Review of Samsung SGH U600 Ultra Edition 10.9

This phone has been my thinnest yet, measuring 10.9mm in thickness. I realise now that it isn't among the thinnest of phones, however at the time of purchase (about 18 months ago) it was indeed a very thin phone. The U600 is a very elegant looking slide phone boasting a 2.22" LCD screen, a 3.2 megapixel camera and video camera, an FM radio, voice recorder and MP3 player, quad band (amongst other things)- all features that, actually, I did use and ...
...box that the U600 phone came in was of very elegant design, displaying clearly pictures of the phone and the line '10.9 millimetres matter' - cheesy if you ask me - but at the time of purchase it was perhaps a point to boast about. Inside the box is everything you need - warranty card, instruction manual, headphones etc. as well as the phone. ==Looks== The phone, as I said before, is very elegant looking. I got the sapphire blue colour, as it was ...

Review of Samsung SGH U600 Ultra Edition 10.9

===Update - Jan 2009=== I have now had my phone for just under a year. In October I had to get it replaced because the screen wouldnt turn on. It was they replaced with a refurbished phone (virgin mobile policy) and that last about 2 weeks before it developed white lines across the screen. This got increasingly worse over the following couple of weeks and I have not used the phone since before xmas because it is impossible to read from the screen. ...
...sliding phone is a weak spot. Its a good phone, when it is not faulty. Therefore I change my rating and do not recommend this phone. It is not worth the hassle! ===Original review=== I have had this mobile for nearly 4 months now and although I really like it, there are a few annoying things about it ===Features=== '''MP3 player:''' which can be synchronisized with windows media player, however I found this to be particularly slow. You can play ...

...functions that I needed, the Samsung U600 was suggested to me. It is a nice looking phone, grey, small and thin, you can carry it in your pocket without it being too bulky. It is a slide phone with a large screen. The number buttons are under the screen and are displayed when you slide the phone down. The menu and call and hang up buttons are touch screen. To describe some of the features that the phone has- Camera- It has a 3.2 mega pixel camera ...

The video camera works well with the same features as the camera. Music Player-There is a built in music player. It is easy to connect your phone to your PC to transfer the music over, the cable is provided with the phone. You can also download tracks via the ...

Review of Samsung SGH U600 Ultra Edition 10.9

The Samsung U600 is the first Samsung phone I've owned since being on Mobile contract, my only had previous experience with one being my girlfriend's D600 phone, but don't worry I have much to tell. I've used a number of phones over the years, Sony, Motorola and of course now Samsung. Today all phones come with the standard features you'd expect, camera, MP3 player, colour screen - I feel these are expected. What does catch my attention however ...
...becoming a standard feature of Samsung mobile phones, which can be a blessing or a curse. For people who aren't use to them - they can be difficult to get a "feel" of (No pun intended). The phone itself uses the slide design - which is much better then the clamshell types. A quick upwards slide gives access to the number keys and also lights up the design screen and menu touch buttons - again this all looks very impressive. All the buttons on the ...

Review of Samsung SGH U600 Ultra Edition 10.9

I got the Samsung U600 as a replacement to my Nokia N73 which I found to be a bit on the bulky side. I chose the U600 as it was very lightweight and slim and featured a pretty decent spec, including a 3 mega pixel camera. My first impressions were very good. The phone was indeed ultra slim, the sliding mechanism was slick and smooth to operate, and the chromed buttons looked pretty cool too. The first chink in the U600's armour was in my opinion ...
...experience I had with the Samsung U600 was rather dissapointing. It proved to be unreliable and the touch buttons to be quite annoying. This really is a shame as I wanted to like this phone a lot. It looks great, and has decent functionality, but unfortunately when it really came down to it, I wish I never bought it. ...

Review of Samsung SGH U600 Ultra Edition 10.9

This phone came as a free upgrade on and O2, £20 a month contract. It's pretty, it's smart, and does everything it says on the tin, but a couple of flaws makes it slightly less than spectacular. Straight out of the box, you know you're on to a winner. It doesn't feel cheap and plastic, and slides up and down gracefully. The only real design flaw, which has been mentioned time and again, is the touch sensitive buttons. You will get used to these eventually, ...
...destroy something/call someone up at three in the morning, something I still do three weeks after getting it! It's improtant to note however its only the accept and reject buttons which are touch sensitive, the number keys are still the standard type. The display is very nice. The menu is very easy to get used to, and the themes, while limited, are attractive. My current wallpaper of choice is the Houses of Parliament, which came with the phone, ...

This phone was bought for me as an unexpected gift - and I am very pleased with it. The phone is elegant, streamlined and light - no ugly bulges in my jeans pocket with this one! Here's the basics - it weighs 82 grams; when folded it is 103mm high, 49mm wide and just 10mm thick; it has a 3 megapixel camera; and inegral MP3 player and FM radio; internal memory of 60Mb which can be supplemented with MicroSD card; it also has Bluetooth technology; ...
...first I did have trouble with it. It is very different to the Nokia phones I have had in the past and the first time I tried to send a text message I nearly threw it out of the window. The key I would use on a Nokia to delete the last letter actually deletes the whole message on a Samsung!!! BUT I soon got used to it! The music player is just fine but I don't really use that feature to be honest. The FM radio is pretty good and I have used that ...
