Although its a bit late and not many people will want to buy this product as much, I will still write a review for people who are unsure which phone to buy.

The Samsung E600 is a very small, yet a stylish phone. With its sensitive keypad, ease of use, its toughness and the very good caller ID makes this a good option for first time buyers to get in grips with the newer phones.

ABOUT THE PHONE - Briefly
-----------------------------

The Samsung E600 weighs 85 grams (very light!!!)
LCD lights
Dimensions of the E600 - 82 by 41.8 by 23.5 mm
Uses GRPS for fast internet
Games and Applications are run on a Java platform - best platform for normal phones, only beaten by the new Windows platforms found on the samsung i300 - which is a smartphone
The battery talktime life is approximately 4 - 7 hours, and on standby it is around 150 - 250 hours depending on which type of battery you decide to use, slim or standard.
Uses SMS and MMS
E600 can hold many polyphonic 64bit polyphonic ringtones
The phonebook can hold many peoples contacts.

------------------------------------------------------

The Samsung SGH-E600 has a good VGA camera with 4 different shot modes - Normal shot, Multi Shot, Matrix shot and Night shot. - Already there is a sort of a downpoint - There is NO flash, and the nightshot is not exactly very good. For teenagers/students in lectures/lessons it can be pretty embarassing and annoying when you hear a 'click' going off every 5 seconds. Because of the external controls you end up taking around 40 pictures of your pocket in every angle by the end of the day. One of the good features of this is that you can take a picture of yourself.

Another negative point is the zoom feature, most phones if they zoom, you hold down a button to choose how much you zoom in but the zoom in the E600 is preset.

The phonebook can hold a large amount of contacts on your phone. The Caller ID is also very useful - the Outer LCD screen shows who is phoning.

There are two main messaging systems, these are the normal texting and also the multimedia texting.
The messaging is fairly simple, but you have to configure a few settings (depends if it is on contract/network) Also there is a fairly small limit, and unless you don't mind deleting all your texts you will have to delete each text on its own, this is same with pictures and videos.

The camera is fairly good, apart from the external camera button (already mentioned). The only real way to delete all the unwanted pictures is to set protection on the ones which you do want on your phone, either way it will take a long time. This is also the same on video recordings. You can also set frames, there are alot of effects to choose from. Also the 'Help' is very useful.

When you record a video it would usually say how long you can record for, except that for this phone it does not, which makes it fairly annoying. For my phone the video recording seemed to have a mind of its own, I try video recording and it lasts 5 seconds, then i try again and it lasts for a minute.
The total space for the photos/videos is 5.1Mb

When your phone rings it catches your attention quickly, not only because of the ringtones, but also because of the flashing LCD colours and the vibration. You can download a good amount of polyphonic ringtones for your phone. Also the Java platform allows you to play timewasting games (useful for long journeys) and the Push message button for GPRS directs you to the website quickly.

If any of the information is wrong please say so, I think it is right, it IS only my second review so anything I need to work on in my reviews please tell me. I might have made spelling mistakes.

*Edited - Really sorry, forgot to add what you should expect*

Thanks
