Samsung E600

Advantages: Camera, Video, small, stylish, lightweight
Disadvantages: no snooze on alarm, easily takes photos when in pocket/bag

...I've always had a nokia phone,but after friends and family began getting the samsung E600 i thought i'd give it a try! luckily, i didnt have to pay much for it as my friend sold it me 2nd hand so it only cost me £30. A lightweight phone that takes both photos and videos (Although there not very long, about 10/15 seconds) No snooze button on the alarm clock, so you often fall back asleep and then realise your late when you finally wake up! You can have the alarm tone as any ring tone that you have in your phone. The colour can be changed of the front flashing light i.e blue, green, purple and light colours can be changed for when you recieve a message or missed call. Continuously beeps when you have got a message until it is read, which can be annoying if you forget to put your phone on silent before you go to sleep. Holds 200 txt...

Review of Samsung E600

Samsung E600 - novelty slightly worn out(?)

Advantages: Caller ID, Ease of use, *Sensitive keypad, Looks
Disadvantages: Cannot share files between phones very well, fairly bad camera, Sensitive camera button located at side, Needs to be configured

...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...

E600 Scenic

Advantages: Very fast and reliable
Disadvantages: 40GB of memory

...Scenic e600 is OK for gaming but would be excellent for business. Its fast and reliable what more do you need. I did a nice upgrade to make it handle vista... i strongly recommend not putting vista on it due to it will not recognise the graphics driver and you need to use system graphics which is horrible. Now it just serves as a work computer. The amazing 2.6Ghz which is has is the best feature of this desktop computer. Been serving me well for over 3 years i think and has never broken down... Its very reliable. The 512Mb ram it comes with... get rid of it. Put about 4GB of ram in there and you got the perfect computer. Tried putting a Geforce 8800 card into.... did not fit so dont try and stick something big into it because it wont fit. Can be very silent which is a lovely aspect of it, doesnt buzzzzzzz to much. Can be...

Review of Fujitsu SCENIC E600

The SPV.

Advantages: Easy to use, A nice selection of software
Disadvantages: Heavy and Bulky, sometimes stops for a second or two, poor battery life

...I picked up this phone for £15 off EBay, which is quite a good price for a phone of this age and technical spec. The SPV (Sound, Picture, and Video) is manufactured by Orange and features the Microsoft Smartphone 2002 Operating System, meaning it's packed with the features you'd expect from a Microsoft operating system. The Phone's features aren't all impressive now, yet aren't too bad for the price range you're looking at for this phone. They Include: GPRS - connection to the internet via the GPRS technology allows you to download web pages and content at a reasonable speed. 177 x 200 Screen Res - Big enough to see pictures and displayed content clearly. Videos and Music - You can easily use the SPV as a video player or an MP3 player to listen to your music (I'll cover this a bit more later) SD Card Support - You can store as...

Review of Orange SPV

Just say NO SPV *UPDATE*

Advantages: Screen size is big
Disadvantages: Very slow & Battery life

...and being far too slow. Each time I had to phone orange to say this one has a software problem, they sent another one out. Every other day they would come and collect the faulty phone. But if you send back 2 phones with the same problem they have to send you the updated version it's in there terms & conditions. After the 2nd I was getting angry. I even told them I would go else where. They gave me the SPV E100, after the 6th phone. The last 2 phones I had, had problems with the profiles section where it was stuck, could not adjust it nor could I use the hands free on it. If the software wasn't a problem I think I would have said it's a good phone. I don't know any one else with one of these so could never compare. **OTHER INFORMATION** Battery life: Talk time - 2.5 hours standby time - 3.0 days Weight: 120g Size: Height...

Review of Samsung E600

The Orange SPV M600

Advantages: Excellent Introduction to PDA's - if you've not had one before.
Disadvantages: Poor battery Life

...I've just upgraded to the SPV M600 - it's the first non Nokia phone I've had and it was something of a struggle to get my head around all of the features and to get used to the somewhat different way of doing things. I won't try to list all of the features- if you've had plenty of features on your phone before, suffice to say it's got most of them, although I was disconcerted at first to find no radio, stopwatch,countdown timer etc, which I had found very useful on my old phone. However, this is where the different way of doing things comes in - many features are available for purchase as extra programmes to be run via the pocket PC software, which forms the basic operating system for the PDA function of the phone. Alternatively, you can download and install Java Midlets - if you can find one that works.... To be fair, this model is...

Review of Orange SPV

The SPV

Advantages: Good size with clear screen making it easy to use
Disadvantages: Not enough memory for mp3 player i find i can only store up to six tracks on phone from my pc

...I have owned my SPV mobile phone for around 2 weeks now and it is by far the best mobile i have owned. It is a good size considering what it can do and is very easy to use. If you are looking for a mobile where you can take good quality photos and videos look no further. For £160 this phone is money well spent as it has many features, It is the first phone to have Windows built in, allowing you to access any website on internet explorer or you can receive your e-mails as msn messenger is built on to the phone too. As the phone has windows capabilities the mp3 player on the phone is windows media player 9. Windows media player is the only real problem with the SPV as the phone only has enough memory to hold six tracks from my PC. To increase memory you have to invest in bigger memory card that can cost around £20. When you...

Review of SPV C500

SPV - Slow Poor Volatile

Advantages: Querty Keyboard, Easy Navigation
Disadvantages: Sluggish, has a habit to freeze, poor Camera

...Having given up my Nokia N95 for the SPV E650 I was hopeful for the phone. When it arrived I unpacked it in anticipation and straight away I was disappointed with the way the phone looked and felt. The looks are quite basic and were not impressive in the slightest. The phone is a lot heavier than other phones I have had but that is possibly to compensate the querty keyboard that slides out from underneath. The keyboard is small and with me having quite big fingers, I found myself pressing a few buttons rather than just the one. In my opinion the keyboard is pointless as you can do most things you would use the keyboard for on the keypad. for example if you were replying to a text message using the keyboard you open it up and then have to wait for the screen to turn round before you can start typing. I found that the keyboard was...

Disadvantages: Microsoft!
