Samsung SGH-U600 Mobile Phone

Having spent a while trying to find a decent upgrade to the Sony Ericsson W800 I thought that this phone seemed the only choice! I am not disappointed.
Yes, the touch sensitive keys take some getting used,
The phone is not as logically laid out and easy to use as my last one, or as Nokia phones. However if you use your phone a lot, as I do, you get used to the way it works pretty quickly and it really isn't a problem.
I've heard the battery isn't too good but mine's still on 2 bars after 2 days and lots of calls and texts, although I haven't been using the music player yet.
The slider is perfectly sturdy, the camera is as good as you would want for a camera phone and the looks of this phone are great.

Overall I would highly recommend the U600 to anyone wanting a good all round phone that looks the part!
.

Can't give a honest review, as the mobile I purchased was faulty. Wouldent hold charge for more than 5 hours. However I was happy with the features of the phone.

item was as decribed and well packaged and pasted quickly, and Im very pleased and would reccommend this seller. many thanks

Phone was very sleek and slim.
Pros:-
Very Slim
innovative touch screen
Cons:-
Ultra sensitive touch screen
Slow Camera functions
Slow music player
If you want an MP3/decent camera phone avoid this model and buy sony ericsson instead!

This phone is very similair to that of the D900 & D900I models.

But this one has a touch screen pannel and looks a bit more stylish!

The pink model is a very bright colour (which is the one that I chose) and this is brilliant for me as I am so not a baby pink kinda girl!!!

I would give this phone 8/10 xx

user friendly phone, thin stylish, great colour.
although does feel quite delicate.
mainly brought it because liked the colour, fancyed a change to a nokia

I thought this looked a nice sleek phone and i wasn't disappointed. Its light and really easy to use. The picture comes out really clear. It such a good phone my hubby decided to buy one too.

THE PHONE LOOKS GOOD, IS EASY TO USE. IT IS VERY SLIM AND LIGHT AND HAS A LOT OF VERY GOOD FEATURES ABOUT IT. BOUGHT BECAUSE OF IT,S LOOKS AND HOW LIGHT IT IS.

Had this phone about a week now and do like it ,there is a few thing i find take some getting used to like the menu the keys seem very small, and after using the touch senstive keys. I find i dont press the dailing keys hard enough but i will get used to this,i have always had nokia phones before so i guess i am used to there lay out.on a whole the phone is nice and light and very slim fits in pockets easly (a little to easy i sat on it twice)the display is nice & bright but found it a bitt annoying when the sun shines on it hard to see even when i cover it with my hands the charger socket is also a bit delicateand fiddley as well . But the screen is nice and big with the nubers showing up easly the sound on the music player is excellent , the call log tells all you need to no (how many received calls ect )inter net connction is quick & easy going quickley through the pages . messageing seems a bit of, messing having to put the contact in first, before the message. Camara is good
with plenty of choises for different sittuations this was not a new phone an the slide seems a little loose but no problems with it as a whole, when i get used to using the phone, and where everthing is. I will like this better than the nokia phones i have had but i dont think it will take the knocks as well as nokia phones do .

the phone i bought was in great condition, up to date, and only half price.
i decided to buy it because my nold phonr was tired and out of date.

Was returned because faulty - PayPal took 13 days to refund the money, although they took the refund from the seller immediately.

very slim. very nice screen. Excellent camera with macro capability.
Thats the good stuff.
Bad stuff.
The touch sensitive keys are very sensitive. And usually sends you back to the start screen, annoying half way through writing a text message.
Dont be enticed by the "themes" with the hot air balloon. It does not exist, and never has. It does have the houses of Parliament, but no balloon, and no other themes unless you are in a different capital in the world.

I have had this phone since christmas and i am not dissapointed. It is easy to use and looks great! The camera on it is excellent quality, and the battery life is pretty good too. I would definatly recommend this phone.

The Samsung U600 is the first of the second-generation Ultra phones to hit the shops and is the replacement for the enormously popular Samsung D900 ultra-slim slide phone. At just 10.9 mm it's even thinner than the D900, making it the slimmest slide phone available (now beaten by the Samsung E840!). As well as making it thinner, Samsung have shaved a couple of millimetres off the width of the phone, which is a very welcome improvement, as flat wide phones are not as ergonomic to use as conventionally-sized phones. It's also 10g lighter than the D900, making it an extremely lightweight phone indeed. You can hardly feel the presence of this phone in a jacket pocket! A visual makeover serves to differentiate the U600 from the D900 in the looks department. One important change is that the external buttons (the ones that you can see when the slide is closed) have been made into touch-sensitive buttons (like the Samsung E900). Touch sensitive buttons look cool, but are not to everyone's taste - read our user reviews of the Samsung E900 for a flavour of these! We feel that Samsung have made a mistake here and the touch-sensitive buttons will alienate a certain percentage of users. If you don't want to take the risk then stick with the D900 or choose the newer Samsung G600, which are very safe choices.

Inside the phone, not a lot has changed - at least from a user's perspective. The camera has been uprated from 3.0 to 3.2 megapixels. The battery is less powerful than the D900's, but Samsung claim that battery performance has actually been improved due to a new technology called OPUS (Optimized Power Usage Solution). In our experience, the battery life is only 2-3 days. User memory has been reduced slightly from 70 Mbytes to 60 Mbytes.

The camera is excellent - Samsung's best yet - with a high-resolution 3.2 megapixel resolution, LED flash, autofocus and digital zoom. It doesn't match the Sony Ericsson K800i or the Nokia N95, but it's still one of the best cameras on a phone. Our only complaint about the camera is its slowness in taking a picture - a delay of one or two seconds means that fast moving subjects are hard to photograph. There's also a good quality video camera. The display is high resolution (240 x 320 pixels) with 262,144 colours and is excellent. The music player supports a wide range of formats - MP3, ACC, ACC+ and e-AAC+ - and has very good sound reproduction. You can use the stereo headset supplied by Samsung or a wireless Bluetooth headset. You can also listen to music through the built-in loudspeaker which features a Bang & Olufsen digital power amplifier. The player is easy to use with playlists of up to 30 tracks. With 60 Mbytes of user memory, you can only store around 15 music tracks, so to use your U600 as a music player, you'll need to buy a Micro SD card - a 512 Mbyte card costs around £15 and will enable you to store over 100 tracks. The largest memory card possible is a 2 Gbyte card, with storage for around 500 songs. A PC data link kit is included in the sales package, for transferring music from a PC.

Other features that we like include the messaging options, with support for email attachments and a document viewer for viewing (but not editing) MS Office, PDF and HTML files. We like the EDGE connection for fast downloads, the quad band operating frequency, wireless photo printing with PicBridge™-compatible printers and the TV-Out connector for viewing your photos and videos directly on a TV.

I decided to buy this phone because
1, I love samsung mobiles
2, It looks great
3, It's super slim
It actually is all the above. Easy to use and i love it. Great phone

I needed to replace my D600 and this was a perfect replacement. I love the touch screen for the menu options or to ok something. Excellent.

At only 10.9mm thick it's pretty thin and it's amazing to think that only 10 years ago phones were about 5 times the size and only made calls.

A cross between the LG chocolate phone and the Motorola RAZR the new handset's design is dominated by a 2.2-inch screen and a series of touch sensitive buttons.

Slide it open and the phone comes to life with Samsung's time sensitive, location changing wallpaper. Features of merit include a 3.2 megapixel camera and dedicated music player.

When it comes to using the phone, the interface is virtually identical to other Samsung Ultra Edition models in the range and it's fairly easy to navigate your way around the interface regardless of what phone you've used before.

Picture quality whether it's video or still photos is very good and easily equal to Sony Ericsson's K800 series, however the U600 doesn’t come with the same focus on design.

The camera for example, is only revealed once the slider is open - very similar to their D600 from all those years ago and the digital camera does take some time to boot up once you've pressed the token shutter button on the side of the handset.

Other features we especially liked is a SmartSearch feature that automatically starts offering phone numbers as you dial them in, whether they are in your contacts list or not saving you that few seconds on making the call.

In use when it came to making calls - surely the most important element - we got good caller feedback with some callers believing we were on a landline phone in a quiet office when actually we were in the back of a cab on the way to a meeting
