I dont rate this phone at all.I have had it one year and will never buy another samsung again. It is impossible to answer the phone in you pocket without cutting your self off.The keypad is so sensitive it is very anoying.further the navigation is not intuitive. Typical of samsung.My wifes samsung was the same.My next phone is going to be a nokia or motarola as I found these generally better to use.Some of these pople who have reviewed this phone must have worked for samsung or they are just plain mad.

I carry a phone, a camera and an MP3 player around with me always, and decided to consolidate all three. After reading reviews, I bought the Samsung D600e. First impressions were good, nice design and good build quality. Installed the software, ignored the "not verified" by Microsoft warning, about the Samsung software. Connected the phone to my PC by USB and looked in Windows Explorer for the 1 gig memory card, I had bought for it, as I would do with my Olympus camera, it wasn't there. Read the instructions and found you have to Import the photos into the Samsung generic software. My test photos were poor quality at only 60kb as opposed to my camera's 400kbs approx. Using my landline, I tried to phone the shop where I bought it. That's when I discovered my Dial out telephony settings in my PIM had all been changed by the Samsung software, and Lotus Organizer gave a warning message, then froze and XP wanted to send error messages to Microsoft. I've returned the phone and, using System Restore, got my PC back to normal. The default setting for the camera is VG, and I know I could have improved the photo quality. Also, as there is not a normal head-phone mini-jack socket, I could not connect it to my car cassette stereo, which is how I listen to my MP3 player. I know I could use Bluetooth, but by then I'd had enough. Pity.

I've had numerous phones before this one, all so-called "headliners" of their respective brands; none of the same quality as the D600. I have been using my Samsung SGH-D600 for over a year now and am totally impressed by how robust the tiny thing has proven to be. Back in 2005 when it was first launched, it looked pretty much like an expensive toy to fiddle around with rather than use in "real business", as Samsung wanted you to think. Well, guess what. The D600 really CAN do business. Perfect features, great variety of useful built-in tools such as pdf viewer, optimal battery power. And, what matters the most, perfect call and range quality. Finally, a phone that wouldn't make me run around the house in search of the "perfect range" in order to make a normal phone call. 13 months and its standby time is still not giving me any headaches, which is rather impressive by my own merits. Not to mention how many times the little black Dee has fallen down on the ground / sand / dirt / tarmac, just for me to pick it up again (wondering if I'll be heading to a phone store the next day)... and actually see that it's still working. Without even having taken a scratch. The D600 2MP camera totally changed the way I look at phone cameras. And it also rendered the purchase of an "average everyday" digital camera absolutely useless. Yeah, you guessed right - I still haven't bought a camera. Unless you're really into photography or are looking for professional features and true quality, the D600 can really do the trick for day-to-day (or even holi-day) photos. Nice 1600x1200 resolution, good colors and focusing, lighting is above average and you even get the almighty flash. Just one question - Samsung, why are you making me go through all these photo menus, when you could have just put in the feature "flashlight", when it's THERE after all...Cons- well it doesn't have too many of them. I'd only point to the memory card... why use t-flash, Samsung, when it a) costs a wee bit too much; b) comes with no more than 1G!! I never bought a t-flash for my D600, which goes to show that if you download your photos and videos to your PC, the 50Mb integrated memory that the D600 comes with is more than sufficient. Oh, and regarding the synchronisation/download software... better update it, so that you're absolutely SURE you won't have problems. The integrated mp3 player is a pretty useless feature in my point of view, but I guess it's vital for a phone to be able to play a few mp3s for it to qualify in the "lifestyle" category. I wouldn't expect too much - after all, this is not a Creative mp3 player - but the sound quality is still OK and the whole thing is fun. Maybe a radio would have taken things to another level of "usefulness", but then again - you've got real mp3 players (or simply the car stereo) for that kind of stuff. All in all -- well done to Samsung! I've previously owned phones of almost every brand, and the Samsungs I had were always a bit better that the others. But the D600 is really much more than "a bit better", it's top of the line and it's all you'd want from a business-lifestyle mobile phone. I'm not even thinking of changing my D600, at least not in the next 6 months -- and if I do change, it will be for another Samsung (and not just because they are the Blues' main sponsors :) )! Let's face it, there may be other mobile phones with features that match the ones of the D600. But there aren't too many of them that can match the black Dee's looks, now are there!!!

Fantastic phone! A lot of people are moaning about the battery life but mine lasts quite well. Camera quality is v.sharp and the memory space is plenty. Video quality isn't that brilliant but it's pretty good for the price you pay. Ringtones good, message tones good, colour quality fantastic. And... you can have rainbow coloured text when you dial a number! Wow! Best phone I've ever had. If you're not sure whether to buy it or not, DO!!!!!!!!! You won't regret it.

The phone itself is quite good. It is the first Samsung phone I have owned, I normally buy Siemens phones. So for those that haven't compared, here are it's faults: 1. Cannot upgrade the software. With Siemens you can download the latest firmware and flash your phone with bug fixes or new features. 2. No vibrate and ring. Quite a basic funtion to miss off a phone as it is difficult to hear it ring in a noisy environment especially if it is sat in a pocket. I've even missed calls by just driving along and not hearing it! 3. No voice dial so it isn't truly handsfree. 4. Doesn't automatically hang up a call when using the handset, you have to end the call with one of the buttons. Stupid.
5. No auto-answer when on "handsfree" 6. Cannot change the SMS tone. Basic functionality on most phones. 7. No display when closed so you don't know if the phone is on or if you have missed a call without opening it up. Most phones give the option of a dimmed display. All the above and more is available on the Siemens SL75 and the more basis SL65. BUT, the camera is excellent. However, if I wanted a good camera I would buy one. So the upshot is, I'm getting rid of this phone and looking for something else. Plus every man and his dog has one so it's hardly a unique phone :)

Hi, I bought two Samsung D600 phone, one works fine (so 5) but other has a strange problem (so 1). The problems are - 1. When you make a call, it shows calling but nothing happens and after sometime it shows call failed. (even though battery is full and network signal is good). 2. After you keep trying it actually connects sometimes but will disconnect automatically after 30 sec, or 1 min or will work fine (Very random). PS - i was calling 789 virgin customer auto answer services, and was just listening to options. 3. Now on few occassions it connected to the 789 customer service people, but then eithere they weren't able to hear me at all (microphone was switched on) or they heard me but call gets disconnected. So basically i am not able to figure out whats happening, but some problem with the connectivity.

Hmm. I have just bought this phone as upgrade from nokia 2600 for a friend. I have an N70 on a 3-U.K. network and if I could I would buy one myself and just use 2G-I never use 3G video calls anyway. I bought a 'pay as you go' unit which was a bargain- the lowest price around was by £20 and its the same price as the Nokia 6111 which is software bugged as hell. The menu is nice and quick, great 262K screen and very user friendly. The camera and vids are very good. Its compact with a slick sliding mechanism, which is excellent but could be maybe a bit stiffer for me but I know that would put off some of the smaller handed people. It beats the nokia sliding rattle mechanism ny being a smooth solid sturdy slider. The keypad is bigger than my N70 and easier to text. I like this phone alot, very impressed since it came out in the end of 2005 for 2006 and has upgrades in software and e models . Its not £300 pounds anymore so its a bargain in 2007 now. It improved upon the brilliant D500 mobile of the year 2005. The D900 is the newer version being slimmer, higher mega pixels etc but also at nearly twice the price. Grab a bargain while you can. I would definately swap from my N70 to this. Oh and the audio stereo sound is fantastic but definately go and buy a memory flashcard expansion-you have the camera, sound and functions that most people will use-hence a 128mb card is cheap now. The phone has 88mb of memory built in. Simple enough for low users and advanced business use but it lacks doc viewers which can added by using 3rd party software. Fantastic mobile.

Hey - i've had this phone for two months now, and its ace! DOWNSIDES:
The battery life isn't too good. You can't play music very loud. The games are not very good. The camera can be a little blury. But right- a phone isnt for all these things -its 4 calling people! so looking at the good sides of a 'phone' Its easy to call people - when u call u can hear the person u r calling loudly u can put stuff on the tv u can upgrade the memory 2 1/2 gigabytes!
its a lot cheaper than the D900

I have had this phone for a week now. I have spent some time getting used to the functions. The feel of the phone is excellent, operations quite good. Navigation is adequate, the camera outstanding although the position of the lens/flash makes it awkward to hold the phone whilst taking a picture. The sound quality is very good. I am disappointed with the tone options, not being able to assign my own sounds to anything other than the 'incoming-call' tone is a real step backward for me. I like incoming texts to make a bold 'sound-bite' statement, not a farty beep! A lack of profiles is a problem. If I'm out and about I want the phone to ring and texts to shout, for privacy I may want the texts to ring but calls to be silent; I want it to buzz quietly in meetings, not make a sound when I'm asleep - but still have the alarm wake me up... It just isn't possible with this phone. It is not a versitile companion. You can have it noisy or quiet, and thats it! Transferring data using USB to phone memory would make wet paint bored! A typically mp3 can take 4-5 minutes. Texting on the phone is a bit of a nightmare. It is not a slick as Nokia phones. Using the organiser is frustrating. It can be set it up as a diary but you have to jump through hoops to achieve it. I also own a Nokia 6630 but it is at the end of its contract and needed upgrading. I was persuaded towards the Samsung by a 'mobile phone expert friend' who said it was much better than the Nokia. It isn't. Everything about the Nokia is done better. I think of the Nokia 6630 as a mobile mini-pc. It is a lap-top-phone device, with most the functions and settings you would expect of such. I expected the D600 to be the same but this is sooo not so. Where the D600 gives you a control option, the Nokia gives it you with knobs on! The screen is better, navigation better, all in all, the 6630 is a perfect tool. I can't imagine the Samsung feeling anymore than 'just a phone'. I am very tempted to unlock the Nokia and sell the Samsung!

I've had this phone for 8 months & for the first few months, I've had no serious problems with it. I just wanted the speakers to be louder, the keys to be quieter, & wished that I could see the time without opening my phone or holding the volume Recently, it's been freezing & has been turning itself off. It freezes frequently - when I try to turn it back on, when I'm playing a game, when I'm on the phone, etc. It turns off just as much as it freezes. For instance, I leave it in my purse & when I go & try to check the time, I find out that it has turned itself off.

I think it is a amazing phone. First of all you get a mint camera with flash. Then you get decent memory and you can get memory cards to expand the memory. Then theirs the battery life, i play games everyday, play a few tracks on the loudest volume, play vids and take a few pictures and that lasts about a week. The best version for battery life is d600XAEIA i think. You can put any game on your phone for free (if you know how to. The speakers arnt that loud but you can make them louder ( if u know how to). You can convert movies to .mp4 and a smaller size so they fit on your memory card. I fitted pulp fiction and shrek on my phone lol. If your after a phone that does everything, get the d600.

When I got the D500 last year, I truly thought that Samsung had come up
with the ultimate mobile phone. Reliable, sleek and full of features.
The only slight niggle I had & still have, is the vibration alert not being selectable with the ring tone. However, this minor gripe aside, I
still thought that this phone was unbeatable.
Then! along comes the D600. Wow, now Samsung have made what was a great phone into an awsome phone. Still with the vibration thingy of-course but hey!
I was lucky enough to see the new D600 chrome version before I upgraded my phone, and boy, they've made what was a good looking phone into a sexy

I have had this handset for nearly six months now. The handset is
fantastic, of course all the specifications match my requirements which may bias my opinion slightly, but it is reliable, easy to use and packed with potential.
If you are considering purchasing one of these, I would highly recommend
it and if you are familiar with other samsung products (such as the d500) then you will love the extra features included with the d600.
i work for the uk's largest high street mobile phone retailer and so i have access to a vast variety of different handsets. in my opinion, this is by far the best.
happy shopping!

I was handed this phone by my brother after my Nokia 6630 finally died on me after having it for 2weeks (and I wasn't gonna go with any type of Nokia for a while after the 6630s poor performance)
Everything is fun to play about with on the phone and is excellent. The phones size is excellent! Well done Samsung on this one.
The things which I really miss and are disappointed in such a great phone are custom message tones and the way you have to create a text message. It seems to be all over the place unlike a Nokia which is simple and easy to
use.
Apart from those two sections that could be improved the phone is pretty good.

this phone is excellent, my old phone lg p7200 was terrible, upgraded to this and it is alot better, excellent camera, good mp3 player, tv output, but i have not tried this yet. much better than other slide phones like nokia 6280 and lg 5200, just look in the shops most if not all sliding
phones are broken by the slide except the samsung d600 and the d500 which is the older version than this which is ok, but this is much better.
EVERYONE WHO WANTS A NEW DESCENT PHONE WHICH WORKS WITH EXCELLENT FEATURES
AND DOES NOT BRAKE, AND WHICH DOESNT COST THAT MUCH COMPARED TO OTHER PHONES GET THIS!!!!!!!!

I got this phone out on contract 3 months ago and it is truely amazing, the camera when the qulaity is on super fine and the image size is on its highest, creats qulity pictures which when uploaded to your computer look like they were taken with a digital camera.
1 minor problem which can actually be avoided in the software provided to upload songs and images to your phone it is VERY slow, but this can be avoid just simply contect your d600 to the computer with the wire provided then click menu>>settings>>phone settings>> USB settings>> and set the setting to Mass Storage (But I am not sure if you need a transflash card
inserted in the phone for this opition).
Anyways apart from that the phone is a must have you can use it just like a mp3 player, personal organiser, digital camera,and much more with this mobile phone 5 STARS!

Much is being written about this phone and much of the negatives are either a result of a faulty phone or people not reading the manual. Not a fair review me thinks. For my money there are only 3 niggling problems with this phone: 1) the melody/vibrate issue, which many have commented on, 2) it is easy to reject an incomming call when extracting the phone from a trouser pocket - perhaps not one to bother the ladies 3) Again a trouser related design issue - the battery can be easily ejected by the middle finger as you make a grab for the phone.
Knowing all of this in advance probably wouldn't have put me off. The MP3
player is great and quality is high. Get a 512Mb transflash card (less than £40) and you'll have loads of tunes to while away the hours. Bit annoyed you can't send an sms while listening to MP3s but hey no one is perfect.
The screen is fantastic - clarity is very good indeed. However, it is vulnerable so get a Martin Fields screen protector before you scratch it.
If you travel abroad at all then this could be a factor to influence you - Quadband means the D600 should work in virtually every country in the world with a mobile network; provided you have a contract that allows this of course.
Comments about battery life... well, if you use the camera, MP3 player and
Bluetooth all the time and keep the screen brightness on max and volume on max I certainly would expect any battery to die on its feet in less than a day. Suggestion - don't pratt about with the battery hungry functions and it will easily last for days on one charge.
The sync function is great - I don't need my old PDA anymore. You will need a PC with Outlook or Express for it to work. but it does charge the phone whilst connected via USB. Read the manual and software setup instructions first - you'll regret it if you don't.
Now, the 2million pixel camera my be the reason for your purchase of the D600. Well hang on just a minute. I am a professional photographer and I work entirely with digital cameras so I hope my opinion will count for something here. If you are interested in photography or fancy getting in to it then spend your money on a dedicated compact digi cam, better yet a Digital SLR. In fact if you want to save a buck and learn at the same time, check out eBay for the tons of ex-pro film cameras for sale. Yes, film is on its way out but you'll be able to buy 35mm for a while yet. The
camera in the D600 is a technical marvel, of that there is no doubt, but it is no substitute for a proper camera. However, if you want a state of the art, non-3G phone, that can do just about everything but make the tea,
then the D600 is worth a look. Do take advantage of the PAL capability and show images, video and documents on your TV direct from the phone. Connect the D600 to a PictBridge printer and actually print some of those daft
snaps you always shoot at parties direct from the phone. But do not, under any circumstance, walk round in public with the MP3 playing through the phone's speaker - you have been warned.

I got this phone as an upgrade to my 6230 which I loved its the best phone I have ever had. This phone dissapointed me at first as the menus are not as easy to use as they are in the nokia and text messenging works much better on my 6230 as not captial letters when you starting a new sentence also entering words into the dictionary is hassle. I was going to take it back but decided to try it for longer and decided to keep it because 1., the screen is the best ever!! very clear and sound quality is excellent in the mp3 player and in calls better than 6230. The picsel veiwer is better
than expected it actually works well, and the mp3 player is good but not excellent as you cant don't nything else while playing mp3s also it doesn't have a radio which i miss. the camera is pretty good takes a bit of tweaking, overall its a good phone just a few major niggles , not perfect but good , fix the txt messenging samsung!!

Is it just me or did Samsung deliberately make texting on this phone reminisent of a model from 2000 ? A new sentence begins with a lowercase letter, adding symbols takes ages, adding new words to the dictionary is done using capitals unless you change the settings every time. Frustrating.What do people use their phones for most these days ????
I keep my phone in my pocket and have an uneasy feeling about this model and I am sure it will open when I move around.
Sound quality during calls is excellent and I like the menus but also I am frustrated at how many times I have to press buttons to access and turn on Bluetooth. I dont leave it on all the time to save battery life and there is no shortcut to switch it on. (I am on Orange and they kindly programme the phone with their own software which stops you customising the 4 way controller. Cheers Orange.)
I cant decide if I like this phone enough to keep it. Maybe that very fact means I should return it ?

I have borowed this phone from a friend and i must say that the camera quality is absouloutely amazing but there is a slight delay but i learned to live with it, one of the downsides is that there is no infrared port (which there is on the D500) and the amera is on the outside of the phone making it perfect for scratches and damage(D500s is in the inside which protects it from damage. I really like the fact that it has expandable memory and a TV out port which means that it is just like a digi cam. Anyway although i do prefer the D500 this phone is excellent especially seeing as you get it free on a pay monthly contract.

Having upgraded from the Samsung D500, I have to say i'm very dissapointed. Apart from the 2megapixel camera, which is now on the outside and open to the elements, and the slot for a flash card, this phone seems like the model "before" the D500. Only two skins, hiddeous message alerts and a lack of T9 on some of the text input features. Very surprised with all this and wish I had kept my D500.
Having said all of the above, anybody using this phone for the first time, not previously owning a D500, will no doubt love it. Best features are bluetooth and it does boast a good camera. Very easy to navigate menus.

It has one of the best screens in the market, expahsion slot, TV output, a 2 megapixel camera, a slide form factor and what not? No problems battery life or reception. Take it from me, don't buy the W800i or the k750i or any phone of that sort.Go for the D600. Highly recommended.

Bought this phone on the strength of my D500 and expected great things, don't get me wrong it is a good phone, but it is more or less identical to the D500, bar a little polishing and a 2 mega pixel camera. I have just sent mine back as the battery keeps dying all of a sudden, my girlfriends has just been replaced for the same fault, and the slide screen has come loose. Nowhere near as robust as the D500. Shame as I really thought it was going to be a great phone. Just ordered the Nokia N70 so fingers crossed.

This phone is the bomb!! It has got everything. Going to buy it in about two weeks time. The best slider in the market by far. Great screen, sound quality is superb, camera is 2 megapixel and the video recording is some of the best available on any mobile phone by any manufacturer,it has an mp3 player and expansion slot.
The Samsung D600 has to be one of the best phones on the market currently and will remain so for a while to come. The people who complain about this phone are just nitpicking. Buy this phone. You won't be disappointed. I'll hit back with another review as soon as I've got the phone and used it.
