Samsung U600 review

Feb 13, 2008 | Tag: Mobile reviews 

The Samsung U600 is the latest super-slim phone from Samsung. In fact, it's currently the world's slimmest slider at only 10.9mm. Better still, despite being super thin, it offers features that actually work: a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, for example, and a great sounding MP3 player with amplifier developed by Bang and Olufsen.

The Samsung U600 takes over from the old Samsung D900, but does it all with so much extra style. Samsung U600 looking more stylish and less business-like than the D900, the Samsung U600 offers features that put other, more tubbier mobile phones to shame. I've got all the details on this great-looking new phone in my Samsung U600 review further .

• Stand-by Up to 250 h
• Talk time Up to 3 h 30 min

In general Samsung u600 looks stylish both in the hands of women and men, so it cannot be stricly defined as a mobile phone for men or for women. The high quality shiny display of Samsung u600 attracts attention of the viewers. There is only one disadvantage 690 mAh battery of u600. Your mobile will work 2 days maximum.

As a conclusion I can say that after you hold Samsung U600 for the first time you will not want to let it go.

December 11th, 2008 03:05 Rob said:

U600 is worst phone I have ever used - its a victim of its own touch sensitive - flat keyboard. Impossible to live with - returned it - and got Sony-Ericsson in its place. U600 avoid at all costs - can't be used - looks good - impossible to live with.

i love this phone ssooooooooo much its amazing

August 3rd, 2008 01:02 sarah said:

im gunna get this phone is it good ??

July 31st, 2008 08:29 Matthew said:

It's good but gets annoying when you press the touch screen buttons by mistake and lose stuff. The music doesn't go that loud and the battery life isn't exactly brilliant.
The camera is supposed to be 3.2 aswell but it's exactly the same as a 1.3 - which i had on my old phone.

July 26th, 2008 11:29 zebro said:

cool fone! user friendly, i love the touch screen feature, the 3.2 mp camera is mint!!!

i love how i can blutooth files from the phone to my laptop and vice versa, but bluetooth has a little trouble detecting other phones at times,

the only thing that isnt that great about this phone is that its very fragile, the plastic cover for it aint good cz it breaks too easy and soon!! m talking days!

best way to keep the screen safe, use the stick on screen protector!

but its certainly its money worth!
