Samsung U600 Fairly Good Phone, Poor Battery Time.

Advantages: Very stylish, simple to understand menu, Great camera, Good value for money.
Disadvantages: Poor battery life, weak screen, easy to catch touch buttons.

...I bought this phone about a year ago and its been going fairly good, had a few problems along the way, the screen has cracked twice now but i have been able to replace them i feel the screen is quite weak and a small bang can crack it all the way through to the lcd. I also feel that the Battery life is very poor, such as if i'm texting during the day it only lasts about 7-8 hours and even if i dont use it i have to charge it up every night or it will be dead by dinner time the next day...i think this is because of the touch buttons which i also found a bit difficult to get use to, even now its easy to accidently ring someone like the other day i was using the light as a torch and rang someone at 5.30am...ooops... :)......and also if you are nearly to the end of a long text message its very fustrating when you catch the cancel button...

Samsung U600

Advantages: Looks good, easy to use
Disadvantages: Scratches easily, turns itself off randomly

...I got this phone about 11 months ago on an upgrade with T Mobile. I had no idea what phone I wanted but when I explained the 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 which is very good quaility, however it annoys me how it takes a while for the camera to capture the picture before it actually takes it. You have to have a steady hand and be patient! It does however have a digital zoom and flash which is handy. The video...

Samsung U600 - poor battery life

Advantages: Very stylish and easy to use
Disadvantages: poor battery life!

...I have mixed thoughts over this phone, I have had mine for nearly 18 months now and won't be having another one. It has a lot of excellent features on the phone but has some glitches. The first thing I noticed is that the battery life was really poor, I had to charge mine up every day and half to two days, which would be fine if I had been using it a bit, but I hadn't. With other phones I have had I used to be able to get three days of life out of it. I have found myself going away for a weekend and having my phone die on me at some point. The camera is also one of the difficulties with the phone, it does produce great pictures but it takes three to four seconds to actually take the photo, which means sometimes missing the moment you are trying to catch. I have also had issues with the touch sensitive buttons on the screen...

Samsung U600

Advantages: Very reliable and easy to use
Disadvantages: Lack of features and internet access

...Samsung U600 A Samsung U600 is a phone I would strongly recommend to anyone who wants a decent/high quality phone with a fair few number of applications - a reliable phone, where you will, in my opinion get your moneys worth very easily. However, I would say that it is not a phone, that should be used as a buisness phone, or one which would you used all the time, as the battery strength and endurance is not too good. Also, there is a rather limited amount of applications available. There is no satellite navigation or maps available, which for some people can be frustrating. Also, a real negative I have found with this phone, is that the internet services on it, are very poor indeed. Furthermore you cannot search through search engines etc. I would suggest that if you are in need of access to the internet that you do not purchase this...

Review of Samsung SGH U600 Ultra Edition 10.9

Samsung U600

Advantages: Attractive design, large screen and wicked camera
Disadvantages: slow camera take time, rubbish battery, low volume on media player.

...When i first saw this phone, the first thing i noticed was its sleek features and thin design. I thought this would be the perfect phone, but on further inspection, this turned out to be somewhat untrue. The design is bang on. No doubt about it, you won't be disappointed. Easy slide action and very smooth. Charges quite quickly and light doesnt stay on whilst charging unlike its other touch screen relative, the samsung E900. The phone is quite stong even though it is very thin but like most samsungs, the screen scratches very easily. The battery life is one major concern with this phone. It is VERY poor. You end up having to charge it every single night with ordinary use. This is just the sacrifice for having such a think phone. Also, the music player plays at a very low volume. Not good if you like to share your music...

Samsung SGH U600

Advantages: It is an all in one 'phone, looks very good, is simple to use
Disadvantages: Battery life can be short

...I bought this mobile on the basis that it was shiny and new primarily (yes I know I am shallow) but I have since been very impressed with the features, ease of use and quality. I normally use a mobile to only telephone people with and the Samsung SGH U600 does that with ease. Reception coverage has been flawless everywhere from Southend up to Derby. However I have found myself using the other features more and more. I like the simple way it handles text messaging ( I don't bother with grammer/punctuation but do spell words correctly). I work away from home a lot and have found that the radio function is really useful with excellent reception everywhere I have found myself. It saves having to take another gadget with me as well. Likewise I have found the music player excellent also. (I did buy a 2 gig memory card to cope with all...

Samsung U600 --- Classy but Fragile?

Advantages: Good looks, good camera,
Disadvantages: huge durability problems

...after having a samsung D-500 phone since its release, i was veru excited to receive this new samsung phone. From the day i saw it and the day i first received it i knew it would be the phone for me. Slim, stylish and a very nice blue colour. For looks, it is everything. the features can't be beaten even, 3.2megapixel camera, GPRS, good battery life, a high resolution screen and a good quality integrated MP3 player, admitadly with on 64mb memory but i bought a 1GB memory card for this phone off eBay for only £8. about 6 months into receiving this phone was when i started to have problems however. The subtle blue colour phone slowly begins to scratch off with general wear and tear, with half of my phone being black now, as opposed to the initial blue that it once was. next we have the problem with the screen. i admit that i did...

Thin, Stylish Samsung U600 phone

Advantages: Stylish, 3.2 mega pixel camera, very thin
Disadvantages: Touch sensitive screen, delicate

...I decided I wanted a new mobile phone. I checked the internet to see what was on the market and what other people considered to be a good phone. I decided on the Samsung U600. What I liked about it was, it's very stylish, I liked the slide feature and the fact it was a very slim phone, it only about 10.9mm thin. The features on this stylish phone are endless. The camera is a 3.2 mega pixel camera. It has an FM radio and a music player and you are able to connect to the internet. Some of the features: Call log, phonebook, music player, browser, messages, my files, calendar, camera, applications, alarms, bluetooth, games and settings. One of the things I didn't like was how delicate the phone was as it is touch sensitive, it starts to connect and ring people who you haven't phoned or deletes a message which has taken you...

Liking my Samsung U600

Advantages: Sleek and classy looking phone.
Disadvantages: Battery doesn't last too long

...choose not to use the phone to take pictures, which I find is a bit disappointing as I don't always have my digital camera with me. But instead I think it takes quite good videos. It's quite clear, which I am surprised about after many attempts with the picture-taking. The other thing that I find annoying is the alarm clock. I have this tune that I use for my alarm and I've been using it on all my previous phones, so I prefer it, but on the U600 it doesn't save that tune "as" my alarm tune, so each time I set my alarm I have to go through everything including snooze etc. I also don't like the fact that you have to choose how many times the snooze comes on when you set the alarm. I mean it would be much more convenient if you press snooze after being woken up rather than having to decide how many times to be woken up the next morning...

Samsung U600 - worth an upgrade

Advantages: looks, size, feel, those buttons, nice screen
Disadvantages: camera delay. poor elements of the software

...samsungs. Also, a small note, but the phone is very quick from menu to menu, looking at messages. On some of my old phones, messages would take a good 2 seconds to display, and so I was pleasantly surprised that this phone not only views them far quicker, but also in far greater number(mine\'s got well over 600 on it, I don\'t know how many it will take at capacity). The screen quality is good. High pixel count and vivid colours. The only other disappointment is the camera. 3.2 megapixels, but sadly, the shutter delay is significant, so the pictures are blurry and at least a second after you wanted them to be taken. This is a very big let down, when you consider that sony ericsson is putting much quicker, sharper lenses into their cameras, samsung has missed a trick. Style over substance evidently in this little battle. Battery Life...
