Samsung G600 ReviewRating:

The Samsung G600 is an outstandingly good phone and is Samsung's best seller in the final quarter of 2007. Like earlier generations of Samsung slide phones, it's a very sexy-looking phone with a practical design. The slide design allows a large screen and keypad to be placed within a compact phone. We're pleased that Samsung have avoided the touch-sensitive keys of the U600 and have given the G600 a conventional user friendly keypad. The main selling point of the G600 is its excellent 5 megapixel camera. This may not match the quality of a dedicated digital camera, but with autofocus, 4x digital zoom and LED flash it does a pretty good job. The G600 also has a well-featured music player that can handle all of the popular formats, including Digital Rights Management (DRM) support. The onboard memory is 40 Mbytes, which is enough for around 10 MP3 tracks, and you can add a microSD memory card to expand the capacity. As well as the music player, the G600 has a built-in FM radio. The G600 has good connectivity, with USB and Bluetooth supported, including handling of Bluetooth wireless headsets. Although it isn't a 3G phone, it does support fast downloading over EDGE networks, and has a web browser and email support. The G600 is a quadband phone, so you can use it overseas without any hassle. Battery life is good, and we have no problems recommending this phone very highly.
Features of the Samsung G600 include:
- Camera: 5.0 megapixels with autofocus, flash, 4 x digital zoom
- Video Camera: Video player (MPEG4, H.263, AAC), Video recording (VGA; 640 x 480 pixels)
- Display: 16 million colours / QVGA 240 x 320 / TFT LCD

ive had this phone a decent amount of time now, its generaly quite amazing, although i do have problems with it, the camera isnt very good, it can be a pain sometimes due to compatibility with a computer, some video's arent compatible with the phone as i used to have an lg secret (not very good) and took alot of videos on it, and some were good memories, and they werent compatible. the battery isnt the best ive ever had but it is decent, the sound quality is quiet but very good. another little niggle i have with it is when its on loud, you cant turn off the confirmation tone so mostly it is on silent, when in silent, the alarm doesent go off properly, it constantly asks you for if you want the sounds on (games music etc). but overall it is a good sytlish phone, i cant give it 5 stars based on the problems but they are very affordable these days as well but they can be difficult to get a hold of.

Quite simply, I hate this phone! I thought it was just a faze (not keen on change you see) when I initially got it and hoped I would grow to love it, just like all the other Samsung handsets I previously owned. But 15 months on and I still hate it! The problems I have with it are firstly the usability and general interface. Granted I can be a little dizzy at times, but it took me forever just to work out a simple thing like changing the ringtone - aargh annoying! On many occasions I've received missed calls when the phone is sat right beside me, not hearing it ring at all! I've previously put this down to poor reception, but on reading other reviews - maybe not so. I found the predictive texting on this phone also really annoying. For some reason, when you change case or go to numbers, it seems set up back to front, thus taking me longer to text as I keep making errors. Again I thought I'd get used to it, but never have. Also, it never seems to store words in the di ctionary so it's a pointless excercise adding them! Lastly, the camera on this phone RUBBISH!!! 5 mega pixels - I don't think so!!! I can't believe there are positive reviews on here about the camera - are they deluded? It takes awful pictures, they're dark, out of focus and not even worth keeping! I have a 14 month old, so got this phone a month before he was born and hoped to take loads of pics of him. But the picture quality is so poor, I don't even use it. I use my husbands camera phone instead (Sony Ericcson C905), which incidently takes amazing crystal clear pics! A real disappointment from Samsung this one, so I'm jumping ship and giving Nokia a go!

Ignore all the 1 star reviews made by people who can't figure out the simple things like how to work the phone camera. I had this phone for 18 months and loved it. There are some flaws which I I will list, but I should say that it is a great value all rounder of a phone. I am being critical by listing these, don't get the wrong impression. -ok for mp3s. Obv not an mp3 player as max mem is about 2gig or 4gig. -I don't use browser much as its not great -camera can be blurry drspite high resolution. Fine for using though. -camera can take a while to take pics -camera settings don't save when you close phone. A pain resetting if you are in a rush for apic. -my charge port broke but this is not common and I just used a mobile charger directly attached to the mains. -easy to scratch, but I stopped caring. I'm more about function, see. -predictive text memory was sometimes lodt but not often and I just got used to it. So you see, this is by no means perfect. However I still loved the phone bec@ause although you could find flaws when you looked for them, they rarely actuslly got in the way. If you are a perfectionidt then it is not for. You. If you want a good phone that can take substantial beating (mine was thrown at walls and I sheared off some of the front by riding over it with a bike by accident but it still is fine although the light on the green call button broke) and you only want to take the odd pic, listen to the odd song or view the odd site, theb this is your phone. Sorry about spelling, I'm writing on my new moto droid.

I have had this phone for nearly a year now and i hasn't messed up on me once :D I find that the camera is very good, although it does take a picture very slowly compared to other phones i have tried Rob Clark from Croydon - Youu said " More ridiculously, I have to keep the slider open until all recipients have been sent the text: if I close it sooner than this the remainder do not get sent and end up in the drafts folder " This is untrue, if youu go into your " settings " then " phone settings " and click on " slide settings " youu will find how to deactivate the slide saving your messages to the drafts folder. All round this phone is okay, but with a few slight imporvements, could be a hell of a lot better !

I loathe this phone. Worst mistake I ever made. The internal memory is shocking - it only retains words I had to its dictionary for about 2 hours, after which i have to re-add them. I can only store about 200 texts before deleting them all and about 7/8 photos. It does calls ok, but the lack of memory is very, very frustrating.

I love my Samsung G600! I've had it about two years and it's still brilliant that when I upgrade my Mum is going to have it. I have used Samsung phones for years, and the only problem I have had was when i switched to the LG Chocolate, I couldn't wait to have a Samsung. It's a lovely looking phone, texting is good, camera is brilliant at 5MP (though is low light it is poor, but it is a camera phone). My only real gripes with it are that the more pictures and videos you have, the slower it is too load, but I guess that's fair, I should delete some things. Sometimes it can lag when it's loading other applications, and the pretty purple on mine is chipping off o reveal the silver underneath. Not nice, but, my phone is two years old and the battery life is still pretty good, depending on usage. If I'm using the camerea lots on a day out, the battery is drained, but again, I think that is a fair issue. All in all, it is a great phone and I love the customisation of the themes, brilliant! Love it!

I have had this phone for over a year now and I love it. The camera is excellent and I have never had a problem. The only down side of it is the predictive text which even though is switched on it does not come on so that is a bit of a downer because it takes longer to write one word. I recommend this to anyone who likes good pictures and music but I would prefer it if the predictive text did work because I love to text my friends. 5 STARS

this phone is quite frankly an amazing phone for the price. i see a lot of people have criticised this phone. firstly, get to know the phone you have bought. you need to adjust the camera settings to suit your needs. dont expect to get high quality pictures and video from the box. just like you need to adjust settings on a digital camera, in order to get your preferred photograph, you need to do that with the camera on the samsung G600. you have to exercise a little patience. swot up on adjusting ISO settings, resizing settings and all the other options found in the camera menu and the options found at the bottom of the camera screen. i was nervous about the camera quality after reading up on some reviews of people complaining that the camera was more like a 2MP. i was delightfully surprised when my photos came out crisp, clear and with rich colour. they were the quality of a very good digital camera. i would call into question whether people who had awful picture quality with this phone had a lens that was intact, whether they adjusted the 'white balance' setting, and also where they had purchased the phone from. always buy from a reputable dealer, or buy direct from your favourite mobile network. ensure that you check all the seals that are supposed to be on the phone are there before you use it. when you buy it, the phone should have a little removable seal on the lens of the camera. you should remove this before using the camera. getting your perfect shot will take a little trial and error, but you can get there. a function i found useful was adjusting the focus by pressing the camera button once, when you are in camera mode and pointing the camera at your subject. the camera emit a single, high beep and the centre of the screen will flash green when the camera has determined a good, clear focus. if it has not determined a good focus, it will emit a single low beep, and the centre of the screen will flash orange. this will mean that you may have to step back a little from the subject you are trying to take a photo of and try the focus function again. keep trying till the screen flashes green. also people have noted issues with the phone turning off at certain times. one thing i will say is that it could be because of where your purchased the phone from. a word of advice would be to purchase direct from the store of a network you trust and have used before with no difficulty, instead of a store which sells products from multiple networks. however, i must say that the only issue i've had is with the phone restarting itself whilst surfing a web page with a VERY HIGH amount of information, graphics and media. but i resolved this issue for myself by selecting 'stop' when enough of the webpage has downloaded so i can read it, but cant see any images. still, the images that you are able to see from pages without a very high amount of things to be uploaded are clear and crisp, especially if you are looking for images on google images. i too had an issue with the balance of the phone. it will take more than a day to get used to, so hang on in there. once you get used to it, it is a pleasure to have. all in all i would definately recommend this phone if you're looking for a slide phone. excellent image quality, you can save high quality images to your phone from the internet browser on your phone, great gaming ability, document viewer (you can view pdfs etc and zoom in to read the document), great video capture and playback, magnificent sound quality, music player updates itself and radio is available, music playback and animation can be configured to continue playing when your phone is at the home screen and when you are doing other things on your phone, voice recorder, image stamp, image editor, bluetooth, memo, world clock, calculator, converter, timer, stopwatch, TV-out ability, alarms etc. if its a really good slide phone you're after, you've found it in the G600

Overall good phone but i had quite a few problems with it. One of the phones strongest features is its quick response buttons - however when sending messages, i have had the same problem with many phones.. the need to wait before sliding the phone shut or else the message will be saved to drafts was slightly annoying. Plus, even with a memory card the phone did not store more than 150 messages, which was a big downfall for me as I like to keep messages for a legnthly period to refer back to. The camera is great for the price of the phone! I would recommend buying this if you would like a good camera and average messaging system.

Had this G600 over a year now, I like every other feature of this phone apart from the texting which lets this phone down in a big way for me, it's horrendous and not because I haven't had time to get used to it. It doesn't learn words, it's long winded and frustrating. To make it worse the command buttons are too close easily pressing the wrong one and you have to save to drafts or start again. Recently the cancel button has stopped working properly too meaning I now have to go into the "Edit text">remove" menus to remove an incorrect word making text even more difficult. A friend of mine who also has a G600 also agrees that the texting on her G600 phone is awful. I normally use predictive text and never had any problems with using Nokia, Siemens or Motorola phones. It will put me off of Samsung when I upgrade unless their designers have sorted out the texting part of their phones.

The phone looks ok, but the text input is absolutely beyond belief, in a bad way, and I don't mean the ergonomics, which aren't great either. Predictive text is a complete nightmare, any text is a complete nightmare, it is so difficult and time consuming to switch between input modes, and when you do it's like the phone is broken half the time as it just doesn't do what you want, like it has a mind of it's own. I could write an essay about how bad the text input is, but just trust me, it's not good, noooo. Definately worse than the first phone I had with predictive text about 12 years or so ago, really bad, bad text engine on all settings, not just predictive text, I wish my old phone still worked.

It works well with my visor bluetooth, the camera is really good when using the right settings. The music player is reasonably loud when you turn up the volume and if you're holding the phone with the slide up and let go of the keypad - what do you expect to happen seriously?? Weight overbalance at the top end so the phone will fall backwards! I text, make calls and use the internet all day everyday and the battery lasts me a few days! Also unless you specify in the settings to answer when you slide the phone up, you will need to press the answer key. Grr!!! This phone does what it's supposed to do.

Performance does not match up to the specification. Main grips are: Photos taken with the camera are poor quality, nowhere near what the specification suggests they should be. They are better then my old phones 1.2 MB quality, but not by much. The flash is next to useless (it does not ‘flash’, it is more of a dull torch). The time taken for the camera to think before and after taking a photo is way to long. The format of the photos is stated as .jpg, but Microsoft photo manager will not read them, so you need another image manipulation package to alter them (apparently this is to do with Samsung file compression). The synchronisation software does not work (it will not sync outlook with the phones calendar). Only 200 SMSs can be stored (in all folders). The capacity for custom words in the custom dictionary for SMSs is very limited. Settings do not get remembered (e.g. saving images to the memory card and camera or video mode) and go back to default when you turn the phone off. The SMS predictive text settings revert to default when you exit the SMS function. The failure to store user changed settings is particularly frustrating, as one has to set the functions up each time you use it. Saying all that the phone has been reliable and it is easy to use. I do like the automatic facility to decrease an image size to fit an MMS message, but this does not always work. I have reverted back to an older phone and regret not sending the G600 back for a replacement when I had the chance.

Had this phone for 18 months now. The ease of use for texting and calling is very good. Inbuilt speaker sound is also very good. Radio reception is fairly good but eats the battery life. Im a bit clumsy when it comes to phones and this has survived countless drops. I like how it saves text messages to drafts when one of those people who thinks they're oh so hilarious and original shuts it while your trying to text. The calender organizer is good with repeat settings so you can programme your timetable into it. There is however a list of things that irritate me about this phone. When texting the cursor will lag behind and you have to keep stopping to check you havn't made any mistakes. The predictive text dictionary seems to forget words that you add to it manually after about 2 days. It will only save messages to the phone memory and not very many at that. The internet browser is very easy to navigate with a virtual cursor but is painfully slow. The camera will take ok photos but you have to change the settings everytime you use it. The flash will not stay set to auto. The memory card is not properly integrated into use of the phone, its more used as external storage and it takes ages to open any files saved to it if its more than half full. You cannot set music files from the memory card as ring tones you have to save them to the phone. You cant edit photos on the memory card either they have to be saved to the phone. Overall i think the spec and quality of the phone is good and could be excellent, but theres to many things about its operating system that stop it being used to its full potential.

I got this phone when it first came out and have had NO problems with it whatsoever ever since. I recently got a new phone (Samsung Jet) but I still find myself missing my G600 believe it or not! How sad I know but my G600 had a good battery life and was really reliable! With a decent camera. Obviously now there are a lot better phones around what with all the touchscreens and WiFi and resolution and speed .. but I decided to give this phone to my mum! As she needs a simple phone to make and receive calls and texts ... thats all. So its still in my household! But if thats all you need/want from a phone - GET THE G600! You can get it cheap too!

I got one of these last week as part of a contract renewal with Virgin and after reading some of the reviews here worried that I'd made the wrong choice. When it turned up I noticed the camera settings are set really low by default and until you set the photo storage to use the memory card you cant get high res photos. I couldnt set a MP3 as a text notification and after a bit of reading up realised I needed to update the firmware so spent £7 on a flash cable and updated to the lastest firmware (June 2009). The menus are now faster and more functions are available. If you want a good looking, high end spec phone which can have its firmware modified (unlike my previous Nokia 6300 which was very dull) this may be the phone for you.

Do Not Buy! Samsung are having a laugh to dare call this a 5megapixel camera. Quality is awful, I had to take 14 pictures today of the same thing to actually find a half decent picture, and even then its still slightly blurred. My old phone had a 1.3megapixel cam and the quality was 100 times better than the G600. Screen cracked very easily within the first two weeks of buying. Listening to music, using the camera or having bluetooth on for any period of time runs the battery down stupidly fast. The flash often makes the picture turn out white with no image. If you have no protective cover the casing on the phone gets scratched off very easily just with everyday use. You cant use your own music for a message tone you're limited to 4 pre set tones. Texting is a nightmare because it's so slow to react you have to watch every word you text in case it lags behind and you miss words out. Predictive text is shocking! Even when I add a word to the dictionary the next time I come to type it, I have to do it again as it's "gone missing" Thank god my contract runs out 5 months. 18 months with this phone have been a nightmare. This is my second Samsung phone and my last! Going with LG or Nokia next time.

Have had this phone for just over a week now and I must say it's brilliant. True, the camera isn't the best in the world but it is supposed to be a phone after all so no complaints there. Have been pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to use. Loads of great features and looks the business too. I've found the battery life pretty good - it's on 24/7 and I've only had to charge it once and that was only because I was messing around with the special effects on the camera. I love it!!

Having owned the U600, I was eagerly awaiting to get my hands on the G600. On first inspection the phone looks and feels great. All of the buttons are layed out nicely and work well. The bad news begins when you actually turn it on. There's no other word for it, the menus and interface look dated with settings hidden where you would least expect them. The camera is ok, but not a huge improvement over the U600. One thing that's really irritating is the inability to set your own message tone, you're stuck with the rather poor 4 preloaded tones. It should have been a great phone, all of the pieces are there, it's just a pity Samsung dropped the ball when putting it together. Returned mine for an LG Cookie.

an anoying feature about this phone is when you are texting in T9 dictionary mode if you select the option to add a word it does not always save the word to memory, so I have to type it in agan and again! and also another silly feature is when you are in T9 mode the word selecting is in no particular order of alphabet! for example if lets say you want to select the word "no" it will offer you the word "on" first which makes no sence as the letter "N" comes before the letter "O" in alphabetic order, and this happens a lot of instances, I find it very stupid and annoying, I mean it's not rocket science is it! did the manufacters not go to school!!!!

I have owned a samsung E370 for about 4 years now and would not choose any other as I fell in love with all the features it has, more importantly the memory on it, that is until now when I saw the samsung G600 basically its the same but with a 5 megs pixel instead of 1.3, the home screen is big ben with london sky and if someone texts you during the day a plane flies by, in idle mode theres birds flying by, at night the sky goes dark and you see a shooting star, and if someone texts you, you get fireworks how cool is that. its simple to use, smarter and quite simply a very good buy for the price. all the reviews that came up being not pleased with it I suggest they look for a dearer phone.

I am on a contract which is 24 months long, which means I still have another 19 months with this Samsung. At first it was a lovely phone, but recently it has been turning itself on and off at inappropriate times and not activating keys when I'm sure I pressed them. And sometimes when I accidentally go on the internet, when I exit it hangs on to that little 'G' symbol which drains my battery - not that it has a very good battery life in the first place. But... the good points utterly out-weigh the bad. The music player is awesome, even though it doesn't go that loud and the headphones that actually came with the phone didn't fit in it, and the whole layout of the phone is really easy to use! The camera, however, is certainly good in some lights, but dreadfully disappointing in others. My Mum's 1.3MP camera can sometimes take better pictures than this, and the very rectangular shape of the camera isn't practical. Also - I would prefer to take pictures holding the phon e the right way round! So I am going to rate it 4 stars, and I would recommend this phone to anyone who sticks by Samsung but maybe not to people who have previously has Nokia's.

For some reason my phone didn't come with the whole kit - just the phone and the charger - no USB cord or a memory card. yay. I broke my phone by dropping it down a flight of concrete stairs, surprised to see no outer damage, but the inside screen is completely broken. No regrets - in fact - I'm glad I did it. it was a waste of time and money. I put it in the bin, where it belongs.

The camera on this phone is unusable I feel. you have to keep it completely still (and I mean completely) for the picture not to come out blurred and even then, the picture quality is one of the worst i have seen! Now, after having it for months, the back of it comes off everytime I slide the phone down which is annoying! I don't like that you can't have the message tone as whatever you want. Texting is a no... it is unbelievably slow and you end up missing out words, so you can't text without looking at what you are doing. Even off of texting, the keypad is slow and very unreactive - you have to press the buttons at least twice! This phone is very boring and unimaginative! I wish i never got it!!

I replaced my Samsung D840 which died after a few months with the Sam G600 upgrade. The phone is a good looking handset coupled with some exciting new features and could have been an excellent phone, but falls far short of the hype. For a start it lacks the basic copy and paste you have on the Moto Raz (unless I have overlooked it somewhere) this could have been included. The phone is top heavy, has sharp edges, the keys does not respond effectively after endless pressing esp when you are texting. Maybe I had a faulty handset but having sent it back twice I was still not happy with the handset. Therefore, I decided to return the 3rd and go for the Sam Soul U900 which is the only handset (and Nokia 6500 Slide) Orange was prepared to give me as replacement. Let’s hope this one fears up better as I have 18 months to live with its replacement. That the reason for my 2 star rating. Peace

I readed a comment that said the G600's speaker isn't loud,well it isn't louder than some Nokia's phone speakers,but you can Louder it by tiping a code for a fabric menu and then it will beat many SE's like K800,K810 even some Walkman series,the quality of the phone is impressing 10/10 just excelent if you have a good song to test it,no walkman series or Express music's can get this quality!The phone menu is cool with the icons shuffling at the bottom when you navigate in it,Also has something Like Themes which change the colors everywhere,Menu,Radio,Player,and the Best is th at you can create your own theme with an image as background,i don't know other phone who can create it's OWN themes,speaking about SE and Nokia which are always speaked about the leaders in mobile phones-NO CHANCE!!!G600 has many AUTO options if you are a newbye :) you can make the keypad to turn on and off in which time you want or when the phone to turn it on/off automatically-don't know any other manufacturer who did this?The camera has many AUTO options too,like auto ISO ballance,White ballance,Flash and Autofocus,the phone doesn't have a Xenon flash but this isn't an (-) because the LED is very bright and powerful,and you can use it like a torch,which is very Handy if you are in the dark, Xenon can't :P ,the phone can automaticaly save it's battery life by reducing the background light automaticaly because of the Light sensor on the top left on the phone,in the day it's bright so you can see even if the sun is shining right at the display,or in the night is very low be cause in the dark you can see a lot on the display,and if the battery life is empty the phone will not let you to listen radio,MP3 player and play games because they are emptying very much the battery,in an empty battery mode the phone can wait more than 2 hours which is excelent if you are away from home and don't have an charger nearby.The phone has 16 million colours which are extremely Real like when transfered to an PC,but don't forget that the LCD's are more colourful which isn't as much as real :) ,G600 has a uGO function-when you go to an different country the background changes of the country you are,like in Russia it will be the Red square,France-Eiffel tower,England-the Clock tower i think and many other countries,if you don't have connection to your provider it changes to a bliss,also if it is night the background will change in night,if it is day it on your phone will be day too :) which other phone manufacturer has this thing too?If you watch a video you can pr ess The # button for fullscreen mode and then just slide the phone back and it's like an MP4 player.It has so many things because it's SAMSUNG-the leader in technology! so if you wan't a cheap phone who isn't just an phone with one good option like SE's who have phones only good for music-Walkman series,or Photos-Cybershot series ,Nokia's Express music or other phone manufacturers like Motorola or LG,don't let they bother your mind about who is better,this phone combines the good of everything in it's class!

The phone is useless for me as I spend 4 months a year in Spain and text in spanish.

fabulous. its a great phone. the only thing is that you need to hold the camera really still to take a ggod picture. its a great picture on screen. you would need a memory card though because the built in memory only holds about 14 pics. but other than that its really fabulous

This is by far the best phone i have ever had. The battery life is good and is very reliable. It has frozen then restarted on me once or twice, but once or twice in over a year is nothing compared to phones ive had in the past. Ive lost count of the amount of times ive dropped it yet it still works perfectly. A great phone!

Was expecting a good phone but did not get one, the poor camera was a real dissapointment. It would also turn its self off during phones calls for no reason and had problems turning on. The silver paint also flakes off so it looks about 2 years old in 2 months. After 12 months the samsung has gone in the bin and im borrowing an old nokia off my dad until i get my upgrade.

I know this phone is getting on now, I've had mine for coming up to a year now, but I thought that seeing as it's free on all pay monthly tariffs now and might be a contender for those who don't want to spend a lot of money on a phone, I would write a review. In general, this is a very good, reliable phone. I think the best feature is the mp3 player, which has brilliant sound quality, and ample space (and if you want more space, you can just buy a bigger memory card). It is fairly user-friendly, quite easy to learn how to use. I used to find, at times, that it would cut off in the middle of calls, which was annoying, but this only ever happened in my house, so perhaps it was just a signal problem. The camera isn't the best, to be honest. Although it has a 5mp camera, when you take a picture you have to hold the camera still for about 5 seconds after pressing the button, otherwise the photo will come out blurred. Also, you do have to mess around with the settings quite a bit if you want to get a good quality photo, and they always seem to reset after each picture has been taken. Obviously this isn't ideal if you just want to take a quick photo on the spur of the moment when you're out with friends or something. It doesn't take great photos in the dark either. None of these things were issues with my previous phone, the Sony Ericsson 750i, which although not as pretty to look at, and with only a 2mp camera, took much better photos and once uploaded to the PC couldn't really be faulted for quality. The Samsung G600 is sleek though, and nice to look at. It can be a bit awkward to hold when texting, and it's not easy to text while holding the phone in just one hand. But if your priorities are calling, texting and a decent mp3 player, you won't be disappointed with this phone. I use the mp3 player a lot, and only have to charge the phone once every 4-5 days. A decent, reliable, pretty phone, at a very decent price nowadays.

I don't understand why people are saying this mobile is rubbish at all!

But, I took it back and they exchange it right away saying it was a fault on some of the mobiles It's good with it's internet, I LOVE THE MULTIMEDIA MESSAGING! Which is good! The texting is ok, even though it's not the best with texting with one hand. And quite slow at the texting too. Camera- I'm going to say it, it could be better, not really what I was expecting from a 5 megapixel camera to be honest. The slider, isn't really easy to slide up. Which they should have fixed and put a grip. Music player, is INCREDIBLY good! I love it! It's got good organisation and access! Love the background playing! It's a VERY good music player! It's actually quite hard to pick which ringtone you want to be honest, it's hard to find. And the manual is useless, not detailed at all. Better to figure it out on the internet from other users. The good part is the buttons, thank god there are no touch sensitive buttons! And instead basic buttons. I love it though! It's got everything I need and isn't too flashy!

I bought the Samsung G600 about two weeks ago on Pay as You Go and from the Orang Shop at Bluewater. There are some issues I had initially with the phone it regularly comes up with Limited Service, this occurs mainly at home and in supermarkets, its a bit annoying but you get used to it. The phones signal is good outside. The other thing is that the battery life only lasts at most about 36 hours and that is not with much use, aprox 10 texts per day, a couple of short phone calls no more than 5 mins each time. It took me a while and a couple of trips to the Orange Shop to work out some of the functions, the keypad tone buttons to stop the phone making annoying noises everytime you do a function, the button to turn this down is on the right hand side of the phone.For the last two weeks I have put up with an annoying shutter noise zoom noise when using the phone, to shut these off you need to go into the settings of the camera. I also couldn't understand that on the phone the first 20 texts are always saved on the sim card and then onto the phone. When sending texts I find it annoying that if your in the middle of writing some text, you can't and I havent found a way round it, go back a couple of words without erasing the text and then having to start all over again. Overall, it appears to be a reasonable phone, I went from a reasonable simple Nokia to the Samsung. I would say that I'm not sure whether it is the phone but the Nokia I had had a much better reception, and i didn't have the same problem about "limited service".

But if you touch the keys it still lights up and in my jeans pocket it's allways lit up. Then when you get a call the buttons become live so if, while pulling it out of your pocket the keys are touched you answer or reject the call before you can get to it. Very annoying for my customers and me. It's a little top heavy when open not a problem unless you have very small hands. Camera is good but can not deal with the flash close up. Music might be good but why bother if you have a i-pod. But it's a great phone for calls and bluetooth. If the keys stayed dead untill it is opened I would give it 5 stars !

This is the most disappointing phone I have ever owned. I switched from Sony Ericsson to Samsung, because I was told that Samsung are the only manufacturer to offer call & text blocking. After two months I would rather go back to the annoying texts that made me look for a phone with this feature! It is awful. The keys are stiff, and usually do not register when I am trying to pick up voicemail despite pressing and pressing. The camera is dreadful - the 'flash' is useless, photo quality awful (I have had much older phones with cameras with half the megapixels that have been much better). I don't even bother trying to use the camera now as I get frustrated every time I take a picture with it. The phone makes an irritating noise when it is unplugged from the charger, and also when a text is sent (Samsung customer services said this was something set up by my service provider that they cannot switch off; my service provider say that it is not them.. so I am stuck with i t). This means that the phone can never truly be in 'silent' mode. When you send a text message you have to keep the slider open until it has sent, otherwise the message goes into your drafts folder and does not send. I have never been able to connect to the internet, despite having this facility set up with my service provider. The phone feels top heavy when the slider is open, like it will tip out of your hand if you do not hold on tightly. The menu system is not user friendly, and finding the feature you want is difficult. The address book annoyingly numbered and switched around my numbers when I copied from my SIM. Now they are in a random order- for example 'Seymour Clinic' became 'Cl:Seymour'. I could go on about this phone... but instead I will sell it and try to find another with a number blocking function. The worst thing about this phone is that I spent £110 on it. The only phone I have ever paid for because I was not due an upgrade with my service provider. It's s afe to say I will never buy a Samsung again. It's back to Sony Ericsson for me.

When i first got it, it was really good, but as it has a five megapixel camera, the pictures take up loads of the memory and they didn't give me a memory card. I just got the phone, some bad instructions and a charger, no headphones or usb cable. The camera is not great for a 5 megapixel. The phone is very good for organization and games but for a good camera and storage, this is not the phone you want to be looking for.

Great phone, not got any of the smart phone features but thats cos its not meant to have them... so you cant compare to the n95 ect.. its loaded with features and has a solid feel to it. Its small enough to be comfortable in the hand and doesn't make your hand ache after 20 minutes up by the ears!!! I was quite surpised how much samsung have crammed into this phone with some nice little touches lacking on sony ericssons and nokias for a change, such as the ability to have 2 time zones displayed on the home screen. 3G is fast, camera good for a 5 megapixel and video recording isn't bad either (although its about time manufacturers bumped up the resolutions a bit)... overall I would recommend it to business users and anyone wanting a practical phone with top end features.

What a cracking little phone! I bought it before I read the reviews which scared me to death stuff like 'It's top heavy when texting', 'The camera is a dead loss'! 'The corners are to sharp in your hand'. 'Slow', 'Not loud enough', etc etc. My admittedly short experience of this gem makes me wish I had had one as soon as they hit the market instead of hanging on to my old Nokia. The display is superb at one and a half inches by two, the colours knock you eyeballs out, the quoted battery standby time is something around 300 hours (well over two weeks) the keyboard slides as if made of silk and the keys are fine even if you have big fingers. As for the camera! I am an amateur photographer with a shedload of very expensive gear, I didn't need a phone with a camera but you try getting a decent phone without one nowadays, 5 Megapixels, White Balance control, ISO 100 to 800 choose your desired picture size, flash, zoom, Macro etc if you don't understand the terminology that is because it is pro photographer talk,which shows you how much control you have over the camera, amazing in a phone cam. Add to that Internet access for £1 a day! FM Radio free, MP3 player, headset, Text messaging, video, Bluetooth! how much more do you want? don't tell me the corners are too sharp! or it's top heavy with a spec like this, buy it and enjoy it, I know I will.

WHY !!!! One of the reason I don't like this fone and Samsungs. Other than that its pretty ok for a teen IMO and has quite a bit on it. I liked the theme designer. The music players quite good but can be slow and relies on the rating of the track for some inane reason. The slider isn't very smooth. I wonder why this fone wasn't a 3G variant.

Had this phone for nearly a year now and can't wait for my next upgrade. Loved it for the first few weeks, but then it got annoying. The camera is not good, should be far better considering it's 5mp. My old camera was only 3mp and took far better pictures. The screen scratches so easily, although the phone itself is pretty bombproof, I drop it a LOT! Clumsy. Annoying that you can only change the message tone betwwen 5 absolutely shocking presets, come on Samsung its not hard! The music player is slow to load, and I hardly have anything on there, and there's not nearly enough internal memory for messages etc. Overall it's not bad, but the feature of the phone is meant to be the camera, which for me was really disappointing. Changing operator altogether now as Virgin offer a very narrow selection of upgrades, and hopefully will fare better with my next phone.

After reading some of the reviews on this website only after I'd purchased the G600, I was slightly apprehensive about whether I'd chosen the right phone. Having previously had a Nokia 6300 (not amazing, but it was a decent phone.. till it broke anyway), I was impressed with the design of the phone; it looks good, the sliding mechanism's smooth and the keys are really easy to press. It's also good for being slightly chunkier than other super-slim phones, better and more comfortable to hold. The camera seems fairly good, I don't think you can expect the quality of a digital camera on a phone unless you pay a lot more than for a phone than the G600 (- if you want a camera, buy a camera!) but the quality of videos and pictures is fine for me. The memory card allows you to store a lot of music, something I particularly wanted, and it plays it back with a good quality sound at quite a high volume too. Basically, so far so good with this phone. I'm definitely not disappointed, and I'm surprised about how negative some of the other reviews are. If you want a phone that looks good and is easy to use, with fun extra stuff, I'd definitely recommend the G600.

Not had the phone long but have to criticise two areas. I have already noticed that the key numbered "7" can be un-receptive. You have to touch it not too hard. I was surprised to notice that a friends example has the same problem - I fear this is a common fault ?. A problem for me is that in the contacts there is no capability to store addresses. I resorted to the notes field but this only allows 50 Characters !. A big limitation for a 5 megapixel PHONE with an SD slot !. Surely this would be easy to resolve with a software change. My plan was to keep and maintain all my contacts on one piece of equipment and a backup on my PC. Looks like I will still have to lug around my 9 year old organiser and synchronise with that as well - shame as that was the reason I invested in a new mobile !.

When it takes the picture I am blown away! I also love the fact that it has a memory card. I have upgraded from the E350 and, unfortunately, this phone is very heavy by comparison. One of the best things about it is that you can design your own themes because the phone is utterly you! The bluetooth is brilliant. My E350 had infared but no-one else has it so this phone will make me much happier. I wish this phone had both because I can't send my pictures across without MMS-ing them which costs 30p from my old phone, per message! However this phone came with headphones which didn't fit the headphone slot which is weird. Well done Samsung! This is a brilliant phone if you are um-ing and ah-ing whether to get it GO FOR IT!

I've come to the end of my 18 month contract with my G600 and I've been looking at various other new hand sets for an upgrade. But if I'm honest the G600 still works perfectly and is flawless. There seem to be certain people saying that it restarts and doesn't show missed calls. Mine has never in 18 months restarted and does show missed calls... as soon as I've missed them! Moving onto the camera, using the right settings it's brilliant delivering high quality pictures. However you have to hold it very very steady (to avoid blurring) and wait a while for the image to be captured. Also the flash is a bit pants, for want of a better word. I never use it now as you get very odd looking photos with generally a blue tint to it. So provided you hold it steady and have some patience the camera is truly brilliant. It has good battery life, the fm radio and mp3 music player works brilliantly especially with the headphones included, and it is very easy to use. Also I'd like t o point out how durable it is. I couldn't tell you the number of times I've dropped it (on the pavement and even dropped it from a horse and then stood on it) and it hasn't put a foot wrong. Would thoroughly recommend this phone and I don't think I'll be getting an upgrade because, to put it quite simply, it works!

The centre button is not as big a problem as people say these people should learn how to use a menu system. The only time i have accidently connected to the internet is when i just slid the phone opened and hit the centre button by mistake to bring up the menu but once you go into the menu with the correct button you can then use the centre button to select sub menus and options no problem without connecting to the net. CAmera is so so but it will do im coming from a motorola v31 so to me its good enough. Yes pictures can be a little blurry but its a camera on a phone what do peple excpect. Predictive messaging is the best ive used yet, yes some little anoyamces but it is saving every word so far that i add. Yes the phone can be a little sore around the edges depending on how you hold the phone bu t when texting you are best to hold the phone in 2 hands rather than just 1 due to the size of the keypad as it can be sore on the thump using just 1 hand. I am not experiencing phone restarts on incomming calls and it is listing missed calls so far touch wood. all in all so far its a very nice phone and in my opinion worth the 5 stars

I agree with Sam. I have just moved from a Nokia fone and a Nokia fone is now boring compared to this fantastic fone. I love the Theme Creator, I love the way it shows you the memory for everything. The only thing I find different is you cannot set your own message alert tones, but that has not annoyed me, plus the fact that it reminds you every so often that you have a text message, wicked! The battery is brilliant - a bit of advice, when you first get this fone, charge for at least 12 hours. Let the battery run down to nothing, recharge it for another 10-12 hours and so on, do this for a couple of times, and you will have a fantastic battery. This advice came from a good fone shop. My fone is pink, which I absolutely love. Well done Samsung.

Lovely looking phone great spec, battery life is average and nice sturdy design which is well made and solid (unlike some plastic feeling models). Camera is not great at all. There is a couple of seconds delay between taking the shot and it actually going off so the moments is always missed and there is movement and blurring. The night time mode mode takes great images in low light, but blurring and delayed shot ruin them so It is a massive shame to say the least! Sony Ericson's 3.2 mg px camera takes much clearer and quick photos so I would say the camera is nion useless on most occasions unless they are posed for pictures where you can tell people in advance to hold for double the normal time. Now for the bad points..... The camera constantly turns itself off, rests itself or just freezes. I have had the canera just two weeks and have had it replaced twice, it has just started doing it for a third time so them camera is yet again going back to the shop. Over all: Lovely look, feel and setup. Camera not much use. Phone turns off, resets and freezes constantly - Don't buy or if you do keep your guarantee!!!!

This is far better than my D900i which I had to replace. It comes with a standard headphone adaptor so I can now use my own preferred headphones and get the radio signal. I haven't tested the camera yet but if it's an improvement on my previous phone which was around 3 megapixels and quite acceptable, I'll be very happy. I switched over my 2GB memory card and can now easily play my favourite albums without having to make playlists. I easily uploaded a song to make it my ringtone. So far battery power has not been a problem. This phone has all the features I needed at a very affordable price, so far so good.

The phone is slightly on the heavy side too. But it does look fab and it did most off the basic things a phone should do. Im now going to get the nokia 6500, which is a much lighter phone and has some great features, slightly worried about the memory as it cant be expanded. i would give the G600 a rating of 3 stars, but only beacuse the camra isnt so great!

I really like the fact that you can design your own themes and make the phone look exactly as you want it to. Music player is brilliant and sounds superb.. even when playing it loud throught the tiny speaker (which is suprising!). Overall, 5 stars. If I had to be picky I would change the look of the mesh above the screen as it is a bit ugly, but this really doesn't matter!

I have been happy with every new phone I've ever had, except this one! So many gripes with it: - Camera is not as good quality as other 5 Mega pixel camera phones, and is vey slow! - Video sound and visual quality is very poor compared to my past phones. Don't bother at gigs - just distorted noise comes through. - So many sub menus! eg. you have to go through 5 sub menus to see a photo! And always a delay when selecting! - You cant scroll through your photo's like Sony/eric & Nokia phones, but have to select, open, then go back to the menu, select, open....argh! And all delayed! - Have to keep slider open until text has been sent (5 seconds or so), otherwise it doesn't send. - Can only send 10 multiple texts. - Predictive text is dire, and does not learn new words - very annoying if you have girlfriend with an unusual name. - Balance of the phone is top heavy, so difficult to text. - The handsfree which comes with it is rubbish. You have to really ram it in to prevent it from falling out of your ear. - Cant change text message alert tone. - Black chrome finish scratches and flakes off easily (happened only two weeks of getting it). - Generally all very slow. Although very attractive, light and slim, this is not a user friendly phone. It's mostly the software thats flawed, so if you can put up them - go for it. Personally, I cant wait to be rid of it.

Ive been a Nokia man for years and wanted a change. I brought it as i dont want a singing and dancing phone anymore, It did take a bit of geting used to the Samsung operating system. I found the reception on calls was loud and clear, Far better than any Nokia. Pressing the buttons for texting i have found they are a bit on the slow side. The camera is superb, quality is equally as good as my Nikon Slr for out door shots, but dont expect much from indoor shots as the flash is too small as with all camera phones, Photography is all about light, so all you people out there that have critized the 5 megga pixel camera, Go and learn photography first. The vidio camera is also excellent. Ive had this phone for a month and i like it. If you just want to make calls,Text and take the odd quality picture, Then i would recomend this phone to anyone.

This must be one of the most frustrating phones ever made. What should be a really great piece of kit is let down at every turn by some poor and frankly bizarre design flaws. The ring volume, even at maximum, is far too quiet. The text message alert has to be one of about five pre-set melodies, no mp3 ring tones here. The 5 megapixel camera which should be the crowning glory is hampered by a time delay of over a second between pressing the button and the camera actually taking a picture, generally resulting in nothing more than a very high quality blur. Trying to set the phone up to personal tastes isn't helped by the limited configuration options, and the instruction manual that comes with the phone takes the concept of basic information to monosyllabic levels. I so wanted to love this phone, but as it isn't covered by the 14 day return policy at carphone warehouse it looks like a rather acrimonious marriage of convenience is what lies ahead.

I love the fact that you can customise your home page and the embedded theme of Big Ben is a cute little feature, especially at night when you get a message and fireworks go off! The only downside is the message tones. You cant set your own music and it only has the choice of four tones. A bit strange when you consider that the alarm function can be changed to all sorts of music and tones. Thats the only let down with this phone though and thats why I am going to give it 4/5.

One little quirk I did notice however, and that was the screen light flickers sometimes, this is easily overcome by going into phone settings/light settings and change it from auto to manual, problem solved. The quality of the photographs is outstanding, you just need to alter some of the settings for best results. It is on par with my Canon 6m pixel digi camera and thats saying something.

You can add loads of different effects, clip art and text to the photograoh. The memory is good but the only thing i can say is that if you wishj to have a certain photo as your wallpaper for instance, and you have used all your phone memory your pictures will store onto memory card. So when you go to put it as your wallpaper you have to move it to phone memory which you can't do because you have no phone memory left. ?? :S I find myself often deleting and moving things from phone memory to memory card.

I do find the Main site review on this phone laughable, clearly they have been given 10 minuets to have a quick mess about with it then praise it. Where to start ...... Text* The Text function on this phone has clearly been set up by Samsung's 'office joker' because there is no other explanation for it. If you go to do a quick text you will notice that the phone has not remembered any of your settings from the last time you set it up, i.e. predictive text will not be turned on and also it has forgotten all those words you have manually entered because it cant spell half of them, also it seems to like going onto the numerical setting for a 'joke' half way through a text. Camera* dear oh dear .... if like me you like to capture natural photos or a quick snap at a funny moment then can i recommend hiring a artist to paint you an oil painting of what you wish to capture, it will be faster and better quality. its so bad i cant be bothered to write tons on it, basically it - like the text - doesn't remember any settings so if you want to quick snap, you will need to wait for it to load and then set it to flash then focus in and the wait for it to take the photo, my best time is about 30 seconds, by this time the photo op has usually passed. Video* Not too bad but takes a while to set up again, and for some mental reason if you record something and then close the shutter it request you say "yes" to save the file, if like me you just chuck you phone back in your pocket then you will probably lose all of your recording, this has happened to me ! very annoying ! Most other "features" on this phone are just as annoying. The actual phone its self is absolutely shocking, all the paint has chipped off, i work in an office and my phone looks like i work in a builders yard, i spoke to vodafone about this phone and basically they said tough luck, so be warned ! Also have to agree with people who say its balance is all wrong, i never drop phones but this thing spends most of its time being dropped .... even the guy in the shop dropped it TWICE !! , its really heavy at the end when you slide it open ... weird. I had the D600 and this was a loverly little phone, i wish i kept it. The G600 is a disgrace, i cant wait until my contract is finished so i cant laugh at vodafone when they try to set up another contract for me ..... they will be told where to stick it !

Had this fone for a month and can't fault it. It is an excellent fone, easy to use, handles very well, menu takes a little getting used to but after a month I have no problems with it. Camera and radio are very good. Texting messages is easy. Sound is excellent. Would reccommend this fone 100%.

Being one of the first 5 mega pixel camera phones about, i was quite excited about recieving my G600, but was EXTREMELY disappointed, and almost disgusted at what my provider had given me. The camera is very poor - very hard to take a still, and it's slow too. Holding it for too long hurts my hand too and i hate texting on it. However, to be fair, it does look like and fits in your pocket easily, but this barely weighs out the downsides.

I have had this phone for 3 days and it's going back! The camera is not made simple to use there are to many settings. The phone is to top heavy and uncomfortable to use and if you have long nails to text on the top line is a knight mare!Also the ends of phone are quite sharp and dig into your hands. I had a Sony ericsson before and will be getting another. don't bother with this phone.

I was recommended this phone by an Orange representative when I wanted to upgrade - my specs were that it had to have a decent camera. I was so disappointed! The memory is incredibly small, there seems to be barely any battery life despite me following the manufacturers recommendations and the camera shutter speed is painfully slow. Verdict? Loks good, reads well on paper, but the functionality of the phone is utter crud. After 24 hours of trying to fathom things out, it's back in the box and winging its way to Orange Returns.

I got this phone about 6 months ago, and up until today I thought it was amazing (mainly because of the fact that I could actually put music and pictures on it from my computer, seeing as the motorola's I'd had previously just didn't do that) but today it has just not worked. It keeps on switching itself off halfway through me writing a text and randomly having no reception is areas that it's had plenty of reception before. Its a shocker and I've had to (temporarily hopefully) go back to my old motorola! Which is massively annoying seeing as I'm not used to the buttons anymore! :( But that's another story..

I've had this phone for about ten months now, and overall, it's a disappointment. My main complaint is that it's just so fiddly to do anything. Compared to previous Sony Ericssons and Nokias I've had, it generally takes twice as many button presses to do anything. Even simple tasks like adding a recipient to a text message is a pain, taking you through countless screens and menus. And it doesn't help that the menu titles are often given the most unobvious names, making it difficult to find what you're looking for. As an example, the biggest joke is trying to add a number from a text message to the address book. When viewing the message, you need to go through the following sequence... Options > Cut Address > Options > Paste > Save > Phone > New > Mobile... and then you can finally add the details of the address book entry. On my old Sony Ericsson, I'm sure I could do the same with about three button presses. I consider myself to be someone pretty technically adept who doesn't need Mickey Mouse simpleton interfaces, but this phone is just so awkward to navigate. Even after ten months it's still annoying me. The quality of the camera is so poor. Unless you're in bright sunlight, I wouldn't even bother using it as you'll just end up with grainy, blurry images of no use to anyone. The general interface is so horrendously naff and ugly, I'm surprised they didn't choose Comic Sans for the font. When entering a phone number, you've got a choice of a hideously twee animated fountain pen writing the number out for you, or a horrible, blocky Times New Roman font, virtually filling the screen. Just to try to be positive, I've had no problems with reliability at all, and it does look quite nice. But other than that, it's a really poorly designed phone which doesn't deserve any of the hype. Won't be getting another Samsung.

Not a good phone. I got my phone in October and I had it for about 2 months and the camera decided to stop working. So I got that problem fixed. Then in March my 5, 2, select, delete, and back button stopped working, I manage to cope then the bluetooth stopped working and then eventually the whole phone broke. The camera wasn't that good compared to the Samsung Soul, you can't change the message tone, menus are boring and the phone isn't very loud. Overall not worth what it was near a year ago.

I've had this phone for 8 months now and I'd say it is mediorce. The camera takes horrible pictures...I had a 2MP camera in my last samsung that was far superior. I don't even bother taking pictures with this phone. As one other reviewer already said, this phone is weighted off balance - when you try to text message with one hand it keeps flipping backwards and it is annoying. Another weird quirk...when I get a voice mail the phone ALWAYS indicates the message is from the last person who sent me a text message (as opposed to who actually called and left the voice message). The battery life is terrible - I have to charge this phone daily (even with minimal use). I wouldn't recommend this phone...it works but it is nothing special.

Everything seemed to be working but when i went to go onto music my phone kept restarting! For a phone which has only been in my hands for 24 hours i expected more... especially for a Samsung! Its a stunning phone i must admit, but i had a Sony Ericsson 5mp and it was great for taking pictures. Im sorry but i think samsung mistaked the 5 for a 2! Not very impressed by the fuzzy outcome. For the volume of ringtones..Rubbish! When you listen to the music on headphones its good quality (although the headphones provided dont sit in your ear) but very quiet when someone is calling you! Really dissapointed with the phone. However, good for someone who wants something to just ring and text people while looking stylish. Taking it back today and hopefully get another one.

This phone is truly awful and i cant wait for my contract to be up so i can get a different one! the ergonomics are totally wrong when it comes to texting. You cant hold it with one hand whilst texting because of the bottom slide bit being far too thin. the dictionary doesnt work and doesnt save any words i input. It doesnt remember the words you most commonly use so are endless ley scrolling down the menu - i mean - who uses the word 'wolf' more than 'woke'?! Very irritating indeed. You also have to wait until the text is fully sent before you can shut the phone down otherwise it saves to drafts - which is just silly. Also having to press though several manu's before you can actually add a person to send to sometimes. The camera is also extremely disappointing because the quality is so so bad. All the camera settings reset themselves as soon as you shut the phone up. There are so many little things which make this phone substandard compared to the ericsson i had last time. I will never get Samsung again and will stick to what i know works well and is frankly the best! Ericsson!!

This phone is over-rated and just slightly above average in my opinion. It has a lot of annoying things to it that any quality phone, especially Samsung should have addressed. The biggest complaint I have is the Mp3 player. I like to listen to downloadable radio shows and the Mp3 player will return to main menu if paused or stopped for a short period of time, without saving the spot you were listening at! Also if you want to do any other kinds of functions (like texting) with the Mp3 player working, you can't! It's either on or off. If I had known this previously I would not have bought this phone. I don't know of any other phone that has these quarks with their players. Also there are limited ring and message tones to choose from which is annoying and you can't use your own mp3's. (I don't know why Samsung can't get with the program and allow this with their phones) The speaker on the phone is very soft sounding compared with other cell phones I’ve heard. I’m open-minded about this cause it is a phone but this is pretty weak on Samsung’s part, I have to admit. I had to buy a decent pair of headphones with an adjustable speaker just to be able to use my player properly around the city and its noise levels. Camera is ok although it takes a bit of getting used to, and the menu system is not very intuitive. The phone menu system is a bit extensive and sluggish responding. The menu can be a little bit confusing at first, so one needs to sit down and go through it to get a good feel for everything. The booklet is rubbish so you do need to figure out how to use the phone on your own. If you’re a technically challenged person the menu may take some getting used to. Overall It's a cool looking phone by itself and if you're using the phone just as a regular message and voice phone it should be ok. However if you want a phone that doesn't have annoying quarks with some of its functions then there are probably better phones on the market now that address the above issues mentioned. I think I will be selling this phone within the next 6 months and I don't agree with this sites 5 star rating of the phone and I’ve been using this phone for over 6 weeks now. Again not bad as a general use phone, but totally overrated for sure!

The camera, even with all the settings on the best, is very poor and seems with friends 3.2 million pixel is better than myne. Also the phone is very slow, taking a couple of seconds to move onto the next screen. The mp3 player is okay but is fustrating having to update everytime you switch your phone off and on again. Finally after having the phone for only 5 months it has already had major problems with the mp3 player, freezing and message character length, now has had to been sent off for repairs. very inconvient. Luckily phones4u has a 12 month warranty. hopefully its sorted soon.

I got this phone as a replacement for my constantly breaking Nokia 6500 slide and I don't personally see what people are moaning about. Features are all easy to use, the volume is fine and as for the camera, what are some people moaning about?? Try and remember, this is a phone you are using. Forget the fact that it has 5 megapixels, the fact that the images aren't great is down to the optics. If you want great photos then buy a camera. The battery is by far the best I've ever come across and does what Samsung says it does. A good, easy to use phone. As for being top heavy when the top is up!!! Get real.

I've only just bought this phone 2 days ago and i'm quite disappointed in the quality of the camera, because of acknowledging the fact it is 5mp, i was expecting the camera to be brilliant but the settings never stay the same and the pictures are not that brilliant. The keypad is quite frustrating to handle with. The battery life lasts a long time and the music is quite good. It is very hard to find something in particular you want to activate for example- speaker phone. The phone is quite chunky but still is very stylish. It's not pocket size but it's good.a Signal is very hard to reach. I thought it was going to be an amazing phone but i guess it wasn't.

I have had this phone since january & to be honest theirs no faults with it! Only downside to this is the camera but hey, not every phone needs a 5mp camera though, the camera is really pixelated & doesn't really look like a 5mp but it still is taking photos. The back of it is plastic which is my own fault as i dropped my bag and the phone back came of, its easily done it comes of quicky, and i stood on my bag causing it to crack. So i have now been backless. The phone has good & bad qualities but overall the phone is really good :)! has all the features i enjoy but the sharp corners is a definate no. This isn't very inpressive Samsung. I have never had a samsung phone in ages & i am impressed. Everyone is speaking about the loudspeaker & the music player, i have to turn mines down as it is to loud! Yous obviously haven't discovered the volume button :S ha. I love this phone :D

I got a G600 for my girlfriend, I have found 2 things I don't like about it........these are big things that you should know about before you consider buying one of these. 1) Games on the G600 are very slooooow. I installed a couple of identical Java games on both the G600 & my K800i. The games I installed were Lumines & Block Breaker Deluxe. The K800i plays both games extremely well, the G600 DOES NOT, it chugs along with a very jerky frame rate and hardly playable. I tried others with the same result, although it managed to play card games (Platinum Solitaire)faily well. 2) The camera, using max settings with auto everything in low light conditions, the photos are very grainy and slightly blurry, my K800i with it's 3.2mp camera makes far better job...everything pin sharp and only very slight graininess. In good light, the G600 is slightly better but still not a patch on the K800i. My girlfriend is highly disappointed with the camera as she initially had a high opinion of Samsung phones.....not any more. I'm getting her a Sony Ericsson camera phone as a replacement. There are other niggles that I have not addressed here, read the other posts for details. To sum it up, the G600 is a jack of all trades and by all means....master of none.

Very disappointed with my upgrade from the trusty D900. Have returned within 7 days of receipt. Although the phone looks far nicer and more up to date that my old phone, there are far too many annoyances to live with them for an 18mth contract: - Poor battery life - not as per spec - Really really slow at sending messages - Really hard to find then navigate the menu that allows you to change the ringtone/ring volume - you can program various profiles but don't much like this feature as it isn't flexible enough. - The network name cannot be moved from the top of the wallpaper - highly annoying. - Words added to predictive text dictionary drop away after a day or two - VERY VERY annoying - Only 4 message tones, which are really really bad, and still no facility to use own message tones - sorry but unacceptable when hoards of Samsumg users have complained about this on previous models yet it is worse with the G600 as the choice of pre-set message tones is even less than earlier models - what's that all about??? - Can't scroll between photo's so you effectively have to go back to the menu to look at the next photo - I received a large text message and it ended up splitting into 3 separate message inc. one MMS ??? - Can't put the cursor between the the last word and the full stop or inbetween () brackets - When using the drop down menu's, if you select back, you don't go back to the previous layer in the menu, but right back to the home page. Very annoying if you've selected wrong option.

I upgraded from a Samsung D900 to the Samsung G600 a few months ago and have had NO PROBLEMS at all. . . it may not be as slim as the D900 (not far off though) but thats the only downside . . . The menu's are easy to use, WAP is a decent speed and the camera may not be N95 quality but it isnt that far off as people make out.... and if you want a 'perfect top quality style photo' then buy a 12mp digital camera to be frank. . . Also the N95 is massive compared to the G600. Also another thing ive noticed is that the 'Music Player' has a really loud volume range, much louder than the D900. The 'compose a message' menu has also changed from the D900 in the way that you put the reciepients number in first from the phonebook and then write the message - the rest is the same. In all the G600 has alot of features to offer and samsung has done a great job with it... you will always get things that people dont like on phones - mainly because they are so used to their old phones and find it hard to adjust to new things. If you are after a = Slim, Easy to use, Slider phone, with stylish looks then... My advice is to buy this phone, and give it a chance to grow on you - in that i mean, it shouldnt be compared to you're old phone (like alot of D900 ex-users do... I promise you it will be worth it. Thumbs Up Samsung and i'm looking forward to the next version.

Great phone, although there are lots of limitations probably due to the K2 firmware. Espresso GUI shows incorrectly in my phone (no icon carousel), cannot use mp3s as message tones, 200 messages only can be stored and hard time browsing through pictures if saved in memory card (and very slow). Other people say that upgrade to L1 firmware will solve it. But here in the Philippines, there is only one Samsung Centre location in the entire country which offers that service for PHP1,000+ (or around GBP 11). Despite all these limitations, I still love my G600 coz it's thinner than my old Nokia 6630 and Motorola W156, looks good, so far it's much more stable than my 6630 (doesn't restart nor freeze) and is a refreshing break from a country riddled with Nokia phones.

I have had this phone for near 2 months now, and I still do love it to bits!! It's my first Samsung and I think my first high quailty price phone. For me, I have no PERSONAL issues with the phone. Alot of people are talking about the picture quailty, music player etc and are making issues out of nothing. This is a phone, people forget that! The basic needs of a phone is to work and make calls! As long as it can do the basics, then you are fine! Especially if it has a fantastic look as the G600, and whatever else comes with it that you can play with like camera and music player, is really a bonus. I think we can get carried away sometimes. I've read reviews where by the sounds of it, some people are put off just because the camera is not as good as an actualy camera! It's a phone, deal with it! Personally for me, I have had no probs with it. Battery like is good, music player to me is phenomally clear considering that it is not an actualy mp3 player and all the features the phones comes with, bluetooth headset, headphones, 1GB Memory etc it's a fantastic buy. All in all, I think the review upabove sums it up in the fact that the Samsung G600 is an all round fantastic phone! A very good quialty phone that Does the essentials and comes with extra toys that is actually a good quality considering that it is a PHONE! Really it's just a matter of taste to what people like, but as far as phone quality wise, it is one of the best, you shouldn't make a mistake if you buy one!

When i picked up this phone i was thoroughly excited, especially as previously i had had the obismal LG chocolate before hand i did absolutley love it at first. I especially love the feature which allows you to make your own backgrounds. However, after nearly a year with it i am beggining to get ridiculosly irrated by the flaws in this phone and im currently trying to haggle with companies to give me an upgrade. Possibly the most annoying thing about this phone is the fact that when i send a message i have to keep the slider up FOR AGES until the message has sent through. Imagine a loading bar on a game, however just to send a text and god forbid when i send a 10 page text it literally takes about a year to go through. It is SO annoying. The camera, although isnt TOO bad i still dont think its as good as i anticipated on the basis that its 5 mega pixels. I really wish i'd gone for a sony ericcson and i am definatley going to get one next time i get a new phone. The predictive text is SO annoying aswell. I swear it never ever saves words for long enough and i constantly end up having to add them back in. It is so frustrating. I have also now got to the point where i am texting too fast for the phone to pick up and although i am a fast texter it keeps missing out words or getting confused. It is also really annoying becasue it turns itself off so much! So although i dont think its a totally appalling phone, i dont think its worth your 'outstanding' rating that you have given it as the flaws it has, although small are dreadfully annoying!

G600? Hate it! The camera is poor, even ignoring the weak flash. It has a shutter lag of upto 3 seconds if you try to run it at the full 5 megapixels, so what's the point of pitching it as one. There are only 4, built-in text message tones (all rubbish) and Samsungs will not handle WAV files like SE or Nokia. Damn annoying bing-bong noise every time you do something, and no mention in the handbook as to how you can switch them off. The T9 predictive text has some bizarre ideas; if i am writing a text and press the shift key, i want to capitalise the next word, i don't want numbers. And if i want to add a new word, why would i want it in all upper case??. The menu structure is long-winded, and you have to use multiple button presses to access fundamental things like the text message inbox. The supplied USB cable is nice, but the software is NOT compatible with Vista!! You cannot buy a PC these days without Vista, but apparently no-one has yet told Samsung. So i cannot back up my contacts, save my photos (when i manage to take a half-decent one) or add new themes or ringtones. NO VOICE DIAL! I'll say that again. NO VOICE DIAL!! I've had voice dial on every phone since i got an Ericcson T28 nearly ten years ago. This means i cannot (legally) initiate a call whilst driving. You might want to check recent UK legislation if you own a G600. In summary, after years of using Sony-Ericcsons and Nokias i though i'd try something different. Won't be making that mistake again.

from k800i to samsung g600 good phone in total, however its a bit too dainty for my liking, files receive and just place themselves all over, and the biggest annoyance is only 4 message tones??? and the volume doesn't and you cant change them to any others, come on samsung The music player appears to be basic and in terms of volume is not loud at all compared to Nokia and Sony.I was almost convinced it was as good as my what appeared to be bullet proof K800i ( it did go through hell, due to my job and survived) but i'm not keen seems all a bit basic just like my old d600 apart form better pics. to sum up its a good phone and it looks cool but just doesn't cut it for me i'm now leaving samsung and sony for the 8gb N95

I previously had a Sony Ericsson K800i. I got the Samsung G600 after being told that i could be bought out of my 18 month contract. After 6 months of an 18 month contract, i wish that i'd stuck it out with my trusty sony ericsson. The Samsung G600 is bad in a number of ways: firstly it doesnt let you store more than 200 texts on your phone - on my sony ericsson, i can store over 1000! Also, when you are sending a message, you have to remember to not slide the phone down, or else it will cancel the message being sent, and put it in your outbox. Secondly, when i scroll though various menus in the phone, such as pictures, the phone freezes, talking ages to scroll through a few photos. Also, if you want to see all photos, you have to individually open and close them - which can also take a while. This brings me nicely onto my next point: although the phone comes with a 1gb memory card, its rubbish. The phone's memory is really poor which means that you can't store much of anything on it. Every time you want to send something to your phone, but your phone's memory is full, it asks you if you want to save it to your memory card. It would be ok if you could set it to save things defult on your memory card, but this is not the case. When you get to this stage, as i have, the phone gets realy slow at operating. The camera is supposed to be 5MP - my sony ericssons 3.2 mp camera was better. The bluetooth on my g600 is extremely tempremental - most times i wish to send things from my laptop to my phone, or from another phone to my phone, it won't be picked up. When it is picked up, it doesn't last long. As for message tones...well, what can i say? You will have to settle for one of the default tones. The phone restricts you to sending a message to only 10 people at a time - extremely annoying and time consuming if you want to contact everyone in your phone book. Also, when your phone'e battery is low, its like your phone shuts down - you cant play games, change your profile settings, take pictures, record videos or sounds or play music. I first found this out when i was at a Kaiser Chief's concert, a month after i got the phone. My battery went low and i couldn't even take one measley photo. The slide mechanism is not too good. After 6 months, my phone looks like that it will completely slide apart. Overall, i am pretty disappointed with this phone: i wanted a slide phone, to make a change from the candy bar and flip phones that i have previously had. I can honestly say that the only thing that i like about the phone is that it is realy slim. You can also create your own themes, using downloaded images, or images that you have taken using the phone's camera. As i am a keen Orlando Bloom fan, putting images of him in a theme is one big bonus!!! However, I should have waited. I will be continuing to use my Sony Ericsson K800i and ditch this one. I can't wait until July when i can be brought out of this contract. This was my first Samsung, and for the very distant future, will be my last. It was put me off of samsungs and slide phones for life.

The Samsung G600 is the worse phone I've ever had and i regret ever buying it. While it may have a host of features, Samsung put no effort into making the G600's basic features more flexible - things such as flexibility in ringtones for text messages - reminder that you have a voicemail or text message. In general, I think the phone is clumsy and I much prefer Motorola.

Got this phone on Tuesday and have sent it back. The screen clarity isn't a patch on my Sony W810i and you can't organise your photos into sub folders as you can on that, also I agree with others in that texting isn't very comfortable. This is the first time I have been disappointed with an upgrde. It is my first and probably last Samsung, have had Nokias, a Motorola and Sony before so don't stick to any particular manufacturer. Am now deciding carefully which phone to get so will be looking at many more reviews. I wanted a 5mp camera but the Sony K850i doesn't seem highly rated, so might go for the K810i. Music player isn't an issue for me as use my MP3 and haven't tried the radio either on this phone. Haven't had it long enough to experience any of the other reported technical issues.

Good camera, great ergonomics and easy to use. The 3.5 headset adapter is also a blessing. Now I can put my Sennheiser's to good use as the audio playback is of a high standard. One bad thing, the screen still can't beat Nokias in direct sunlight. This is something I think all manufacturers should look into, as it is just unacceptable that Nokia (who up till a few years ago had been universally accepted to have the WORST screens) has jumped the makers of some of the best flat panels in the world.

I have just upgraded from a Motorola KRZR and I love this phone overall. I had a Samsung ages ago and loved it, Samsung always have great graphics. The camera is fine. The build quality of the phone is excellent, it feels solid and looks sleek. I have only a couple of issues with it. I hate that it only has four tones for text messages. How hard would it have been for Samsung to have incorporated the ability to enable customers to personalise with their own tones? That is what most of us want after all. Also when the phone rings it is not loud enough, when it is in my handbag I can hardly hear it. One other thing is that I cannot seem to be able to set the phone so that it gives my name or number when I am calling others. Other than that it is great to have a Samsung again, I am one of the few who hates Nokia's. Nice work Samsung but with a little more attention to detail this could have been a really brilliant phone, it is just short of that so 4 stars not 5.

ive had my G600 for about....4months or so? and i have loved it. i read all the reviews and how it was a bad phone- always restarting and bits and bobs BUT my phone has never been any trouble. if im honest with you it did restart a couple of times after sending an MMS message but that was because i was doing to many things on it. The only problem i have found with the phone is that the back of it is poor quality- if you (like me) have a habit of mucking about with the phone you find that the back becomes loose very easily so now whenever i drop it the back comes off and out falls the battery. And also battery life is rather poor so i am finding myself charging it every night. Pain. But apart from that i love it. very stylish. very easy to use, HUGE memory capacity, good camera quality, excellent sound quality in phone calls and the music player.

The camera, for being a 5 mega-pixel is not very good. I expected it to be better for 5 mega pixel. My other, 3.2 mega pixel phone, took better pictures than this one does, which is unfortunate. I've had many problems with the phone just automatically restarting when i've been in the middle of a text or a call or something, and i lost the message and had to write it again and had to phone the person back etc. The battery life is terrible, lasts me less than 1 day when im listening to music and taking pictures etc. When im not using it, it lasts about 2-3 but still, it should last longer than 1 day when u want to use the features on it!! I don't like how you cant scroll along from picture to picture on your memory card, you can olny do that if the pictures are in your photos, or downloaded images. And, you cant view the images full screen unless they are saved on ur phone too. Its all these little things that make up a brilliant phone, and the samsung G600 is missing out on so many of them!!

Reading these reviews you'd be forgiven for thinking these people were buying a camera !!!! Here's something, a few weeks ago i went out and bought a new pentax camera and do you know this.......as a phone it sucks big time.Terrible sound/reception and you can hardly see the keys! The G600 is a PHONE first and a camera as an 'add on' stop whinging, if you want a decent camera, buy a CAMERA, as a phone the samsung is brilliant and as a camera, it takes darned good pictures!

This phone is awful. Tacky and heavy and the bottom digs into your hand. The screen display is good, but the whole phone feels like you could break it at any time. And did someone say 'as smooth as windows'? is that supposed to be ironic?! I've tried taking it back, but apparently O2 doesn't have their 'piece of mind' promotion on anymore so I'm stuck with it. It's no better than my w880i which I'm going to continue using. And it could have been so great! Verdict: for £35 a month, get the new w890i.

This phone is awful. Every time I make or receive a call it is cut off. Then a message appears on the screen saying "Network rejected". I sent it back to Vodafone three times and they kept sending it back claiming it had been fixed. It hadn't. The next time I tried to make a call the exact same problem happened again. So, they replaced the handset and the next one had the same problem. They replaced it again and the next one had the same problem again. However, this time it had some lovely extra problems to keep me entertained: It would freeze while I was texting and would switch itself on and off all the time. The camera is rubbish too. Do not, under any circumstances, buy this phone. It has been the bane of my life since I bought it. I would give it no stars if it were possible. By the way, Vodafone are totally unhelpful too. Unfortunately I am tied into an 18 month contract with them.

The software crashed-the phone didnt receive calls, messages or connect to the internet. I wish I could send this phone back but have had it for 4 months now so I will unfortunately be stuck with it for another 14 months, Oh no!

I love this phone. I love the camera and all the different modes you can change it to. the only thing that would make this camera better would be to have a camera on the front too so you can take better self potrait photos! the only thing that annoys me is that with the predictive text setting it doesnt actually store the words for long AT ALL and i constantly have to put them back in all the time. but i do love the fact that you can make up your own wallpaper and everything. i do absolutley love the phone and the slide action because its so smooth. The mp3 is good too, however it doesnt go very loud. i also find the picture quality might not be as good as the cybershot cameras and im tempted to get one when my contract runs out. the last thing that annoys me is that you cant scroll through the pictures that you've taken on the memory card you have to go back and then click on them- little thing but it does bug people! its bad the fact that ALL the memory is on the memory card though because not much fits on the phone itself.

I upgraded from my old D900 to O2's Cocoon and was disspaointed by the lack of decent features and it felt very poorly made compared to what i have grown a custom to. Having previously had two Samsung phones i opted for the G600. I have had it for around 6 months now and i am yet to find any phone i would rather have. I have experianced no major technical difficulies, apart from sometimes it decides to save sent messages, even when i have turned that option off - although this can sometimes be unexpectedly convinient. The look and feel of the handset can not be disputed, it is slim and dicreet but not fiddly or fragile. Although there are not many new features since the D900 I am not going to complain because that had all i need. Don't let any of the below reviews put you off buying a G600. If your looking for an excellent all rounder then get one of these.

So far, so good. Just to everybody who is complaining about the camera, I too, thought it was completely rubbish to start with. Until I changed the resolution to maximum, and the picture quality to super fine. You have to do this for the camcorder also if you want decent shots. No problem. Think the camera's great. bad points: 1. I can't assign caller ringtones or images without copying the names in my address book from my sim to the phones memory. So I've got all my names twice. No clue on how to rectify this without wiping my sim. Which I don't want to do. 2. It's a little slow with the predictive text, or maybe I'm just a super fast texter?!! 3. The menu's are plain and 2d. Which is not really a problem for me. Just lacking a little wow factor. Good points: Absolutely everything else with this phone is fab. As for some people saying its unbalanced and top heavy when the slides open, try holding the phone properly! ;o) The music player is great. Quite impressed with the iPod type style to it. The camera's great, the video's good. And to top it all off, it's a mighty fine looking phone! I still give it 5 stars despite my gripe with the caller ringtone and image business.

i think a lot of the problems/issues reported with this phone would not be on here if samsung had bothered to provide a user manual that wasnt a complete waste of paper. It does not provide any details on the different camera settings and shortcuts, which are useful as the flash always resets to off (* key is the shortcut)and anything other than very basic info about any part of the phone. I thought i had a fault as the screen kept flickering, but turns out i just had to turn the backlight from auto to anytime. Orange didnt know about this either. Ive had this phone a week now and it is very good once you get the hang of it. the camera is fine once you find the right settings (no thanks to samsung). all in all a very good phone let down by a manufacturer who couldnt be bothered to tell anyone how to use it properly.

I got this phone in the silver and pink a couple of weeks ago on upgrade from phones 4u,and i have to say that i LOVE it. It is so feminine and slim too.You CAN use your mp3 tones as a ringing tone.I did it with an mp3 track taken from my computer. The camera needs to be on the highest settings to get a good picture,and yes it takes the best photos in daylight,but mine are clear and once edited in automatic mode,look fine. I only got a 512 mb memory card with mine ,but i will be getting a 2gb one on e bay soon. The earphones are basic,but you can get better sound with sennheiser CX300 ones. I like the light sensor function,battery life is very good too.I LOVE the fact that i can personalise my own themes.well done samsung,but this was long overdue.The London wallpaper that changes from birds and big ben during the day to dark with comets is genious.Clouds mean a poor signal,so depending on your area,you may well experience this (I am.) The sound is clear,and loud enough for me,and contrary to some people's reviews you CAN set the phone to vibrate and ring (Mine is set to both) I can text with one hand,so the people that say you can't must be either stupid or clumsy. The corners are a bit sharp,but you simply move your hand to prevent them cutting into in. I delete my texts too,but do you really need to keep 200 texts on your phone anyway. The samsung interface is different from sony ericsson,but it is NOT complicated.To send a text you go to create message,text msg,recent recipients,add recipient,then you type your message.The smileys are an added bonus. I had an LG viewty for 3 months until i persuaded(rather forcibly)phones 4u to change the handset after BAD reception problems to the point that i couldn't even make a call because people couldnt hear me at all,also it cut out all the time.I never had such a dreadful phone,so compared to that,this phone is a little GEM. I also got a year's free subscription to Cosmopolitan as well,delivered to my door for FREE. I would recommend this phone to anybody. I never experienced my phone restarting after an incoming call,flickering light etc.You change the settings of the light from automatic to anytime to sort this out. I stopped going for samsung upgrades a few years ago,due to the horrible black theme with orange,and poor quality,but this is a definite step forward. I just wish samsung would add a xenon flash instead of an LED one.Samsung please take note.

I can't understand the positive reviews, this is a really horrible phone. Plus points, looks nice, has a nice big screen, negative points, everything else. The shell is slim and looks pretty, but is too heavy in your pocket and leaves it unbalanced for one handed texting. The camera takes far too long to take pictures and for a 5mp device, lacks the quality of lower mp phones from Song. The menus are basic and poorly devised and you can't really customise the phone easily. I left it back after a week and picked up the much superior Sony Ericsson K800i

The software with the phone is also shocking, i still cannot get it to work.

Got my G600 last Friday, and I have to say it is a fantastic phone. I have been buying Samsung phones for a long time now and have almost always found annoying things with the phones, but the G600 really does please on all counts. It's fantastic to use, with no touch buttons like previous phones, and is slim yet not so slim that it doesn't feel robust-it just feels like a good quality phone. The themes creator is fantastic too, makes your phone totally customisable. Everybody seems to be complaining about the quality of the camera - when you take a photo it looks great, then when you bring it up in the photo album it seems to have lost some quality. However what actually happens is that the images do not appear in their full quality in the photo album to allow you to scroll through them quickly - it means you don't have to wait on loading times when looking through photos - transfer the photos to your computer and view them on a large screen, and you'll see what they're really like - mine turned out really good. I have to admit that when I first looked through the photo album I was a little shocked by how blurry some images were, but was relieved to find out that the photos turn out so well on a PC screen. Hope this review helps anybody who is experiencing the same thing!

Buttons are very responsive, a lot better than the U600 touch sensitive buttons. Having personally used an N95 for 2 weeks and then sent it back, I can recommend this phone over it. Performance and style the same but the N95 is way too bulky and crashes frequently! All these people switching to N95's, You will be disappointed again! Some people are not happy if the phone is not perfect, the camera is awesome if you think of it as a PHONE CAMERA, IF YOU WANT A PERFECT DIGITAL IMAGE BUY A CAMERA. The minor issue with the camera can be resolved in 2mins if you can be bothered, so not much of an issue here.

I'm gutted. The mobile-phones-uk review is horrifically off the mark - the G600 looks good on paper but in reality its rage inducing. Fundamental flaws in this phone. Camera: Will not take acceptable photographs inside, the flash is terrible. To take a good picture you need to be outside in broad daylight with rock steady hands. This is hilarious: Apparently it has a timer feature so you can get in the picture so to speak. The trouble is, the actual phone will not stand up on any edge! It just rolls on to it's back like a dog. If you wish to use this feature, your gonna need a big blob of blue tack or some kind of stand otherwise your gonna get a picture of the celling! Viewing your photos is a nightmare. you have to open one image at a time - no slideshow feature. Texting: You will need two hands. The balance of the phone is dire. using one hand requires you to squeeze the phone tight, in turn depressing the camera shortcut button on the side which then disables the normal key pad! Genius Samsung. + you have to keep the slider open until the message has been sent - if you close it sooner the text is not sent and ends up in the drafts folder. USELESS. Calls: It's good for about two then you will have to recharge. NOTE: you can't charge it through the supplied USB cable even though the phone end plugs into the same hole as the normal charger & USB is designed power peripherals. lunacy! You have to buy a third party cable. Mp3 player: No comment - never used it Menus: These are just silly really, too many clicks needed to get where you want to go. Web: Surfing the web on a mobile phones is terrible at the best of times. The G600 is no exception. You will need an iphone DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. You will be disappointed.

Had the G600 for about 3 weeks now, all seems fine. I've had Sony Ericssons for the last 3 years so the OS is different, sometimes better, sometimes worse. There is no perfect phone out there! I got it because my eye sight is going a bit and I can actually see the keypad on the G600 without glasses! Sony's seem to be intent on making their keypads smaller and smaller. One big problem though (sorry if it's been mentioned below) HOW DO YOU PLAY MP3'S IN ALBUM ORDER!

Having had the phone for 6 months... The phone randomly turns itself off, even when fully charged. Battery casing is fine, and has had no knocks or drops. Major flaw. Camera boasted 5mega pixels but when pressing to take the photo it flashes twice then the photo 3 seconds later, causing the subject to think the photo has been taken and with a very blurry result :(

I waited ages to get this phone and managed to get on in September 07 (unfortunately on an 18 month contract). I am a total clamshell freak but given that Samsung havent come out with any clamshell's in ages I got this, its nothing special, a bit of a disappointment really. If you are a texter like me, then be prepared for disappointment because its a pain to text on, its slow, the buttons are a bit rubbish, it wont allow you even to call numbers that have been sent to you in a text message, you have to write the number down and do it that way, for the money put into this phone, they could have seriously gone for something better. I am actually using my old Samsung E720 which works 100 times better. I would recommend going for a sony ericsson or a nokia to anyone tempted to by this...

Overall this phone is very good, one of the best I've had but it isn't without it's flaws. The predictive text does not save certain words, and when it does it suddenly forgets them a few hours later (Sony's will save them for as long as you keep the phone). I'm not sure if its a generic fault but my phone was forever re-booting itself - I would be half way through a text and all of a sudden it would freeze, reboot and then be fine for a few days (Quite frustrating). The camera can be awkward to operate, it's very fussy about when it wants to work and is quite poor considering it's 5mp claim. However, the music player is excellent (although the sound is terrbile compared to some Nokia's), the battery life is excellent, the phone feels very solid and well made, slim and slender design that is comfortable to hold and the addition of an external microSD card is welcome on any phone. Overall a good phone, not perfect (but then what phone is), I'd be happy to recommend this phone to anyone who wants a good contract phone (it's not worth paying the hundreds of pounds that it sells for on pay-as-you-go).

not as great as anticipated . Phone does do basic functions well and has the addedd advantage of being able to set multiple alarm times ( a feature i use regulary ) as well as an efficient messaging function ( with a problem lurking though i have to say ) . I have previously used Sony K800i and previous sony models but was looking for something slimmer that would be not as obtrusive in a suit jacket pocket . The phone is serving me well in the phone , text , alarm and size elements ... but it has some seriously annoying habits for a phone reputedly of its calibre . the camera .... rubbish...all pixels and no punch ...nowhere near as quick to access , rapid to respond and quality delivered as the 3.2 mp that the 800i had . very very dissapointing . blurred shots , no xenon flash , clumsy storage and edit facilty and utterly useless as a camera photo impromptu snaps . ( im very adept at photography and changing the iso numbers etc has no bearing on quality ) predictive text this is the lurking problem - great as you would expect in any phone these days EXCEPT .... turn the phone off or recharge and all added words vanish from memory ..very very frustrating . case paintwork looks great to start but chips away very easily around corners etc ( i do not abuse the phone by slinging it around ) but hey ho .. music storage and transfer ( ringtone use etc ) very very " round the houses " and could be a lot simpler although playback was good to balance out , the phone is neat , attractive and performs well as a phone ...but is nowhere near the multi media expert my 800i was ....had the 850i been a slimmer model it would have taken this phone to the cleaners . nice looking phone ...looks the part for business etc . and although i didnt think i used my cam on 800i that much ( although i did dispense with a full size camera for holiday last year and relied on phone with excellent results ) its obvious that i used and enjoyed it more than i did . G600 , great as a phone ok as a text platform and poor as a camera ....wait to see if Sony resize the 850i ( like they did with 800i ( to 810 ) and buy that instead. hope this helps

Normally it would take at least 4 hours!! The only quarms i have are the lack of speed when texting or inputting numbers, and the buttons are a bit fiddly.

Looks-Tip top but looks are not all.ok details Camera?i find awkward and nothing special although some nice touches in edit menus after all its sold on this CAMERA 5.0MP is it not? Phone top heavey when open,keys small but nicely finished and flush,no problems with build quality(to testify to this-i am a trucker and dropped it by accident a full metre out of my cab,onto the truck depot concreate floor,i looked down looking for bits and pieces,only to find a full working phone and a mere sratch,lucky?) I do not like the menus but do like the edit feature for menus,ie background colours etc,but just too plain. I am starting to like it now but when i make a call sometimes it goes dead like its ended the call,a quick flick of a button fixes this.Also donloaded tunes have been lost and no access to Mp3(at present)No problems to cause concern otherwise.My rating is based on contract renewal as i paid no money up front.

Bought mine about 4 months ago and love the phone itself. The problems you lot are having are that you cant use the phone properly - well learn!! YOU ARE USELESS. If you cant use phones properly you shouldnt have one! The ONLY problem with this phone is that, as stated below, it is archaic (spell it correctly if you want to make fault!!!!!) that you cannot use any other text message tones other than the four that come supplied however, I have been advised by Samsung that they are creating an online update (for you idiots out there who dont know how to use your phones thats an update that you use your software CD with and it will update the latest features for your phone) so that you can use other tones which is neat. IF YOU DONT LIKE YOUR PHONES - LEARN TO USE THEM CORRECTLY AS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE SAID, THE CAMERA RESOLUTION IS TOO LOW OR YOU ARE JUST NOT USING IT RIGHT!!!

The G600 is not without it's faults but overall is a very stylish phone. The weight of the phone was what first struck me it is very weighty. The screen is not what I would call scratch resistant although I only have it in my pocket on its own (I have had to get one of those aweful sock thingys to prevent not being able to see the screen by the end of the contract). I would also flag up the volume from the speaker it is very low and could do with being boosted. Texting is slow and not having the ability to change the incoming text tone is breaking a basic functionality IMO. Other than those few moans the phone works very well, the menus are quite intuitive and easy to use (this is my 6th Samsung) overall the good outweighs the bad.

Well, it has pretty horrible instructions, but I don't read instructions anyways. Once figuring out the camera, it's amazing. By defaults it's on auto iso, auto lighting, and the lowest resolution. These should all be changed according to the siutation and the quality. Each of these are easily accessable and toggled through the number pad. For all of you saying the camera is "rubbish" try it again with low iso, and high resolution. Also one quirk about the camera is if you use the buttom on the side of the phone to snap a shot it does an autofocus that takes forever. If you use the ok button within the directional wheel, it takes it instantly and usually looks better than with the autofocus. I also like the borders, and mosaic photos that can be taken. It's a lot of fun. The mp3 player is one of the best I've heard on any cell phone, and with some good stereo bluetooth headphones you have a very viable music player. I don't like corded headphones with it because the headphone plugs awkwardly into the side and that makes it fit strangely in your pocket. The browser is pretty lowsy, but you can easily download opera on it and have a great time browsing. The feel of the phone is top notch. It's thin and attractive but has a little bit of heft so you know it's made well. Call reception is loud and clear and have had no dropped calls with mine. With loads of features, a camera that matches or possibly beats the n95 and SE k850i, good construction, great mp3 players, customizable themes, and excellent call quality there is no reason to pass this phone.

I've had a G600 since November 2007 and am very pleased with it. Initially I found the instruction book to be a bit of a pain and the menus not so intuitive as the Nokia or Sony. However, after a few days of "fiddling" and all becomes clear!. I feel sorry for the poor souls who do not have the patience or intelligence to get any sort of result from the camera! It's just a case of learning how to set it up correctly - pictures blown up to 200% on my computer have been outstanding. All in all, it's a very good phone - nothing in this world is perfect, and after all, it's only a 'phone!!

OK, now I know some of the reviews on here are clearly written by people who cant write English properly and are confined to 'WIKID FONE SAMMSUUNG (sic)' but seriously listen to me for a second. Do not buy this phone. I had three in the space of about 20 days. The problem that kept recurring was that words that you stored when sending a SMS message would be there for about 5 hours (if you were lucky) but then they would be gone. The shop that I bought it from blamed it on everything from the phone needing a software update (I phoned Samsung direct and there is not an update available) to the sim being incompatible (I still don’t really understand this one but was assured by my network that this would not be causing the problem). Carphone Warehouse where I bought the phone from was particularly unhelpful and would not give me a refund of exchange it for another model. Finally out of desperation I took it to one of their main stores in London and they exchanged it for me. Other users that I have since spoken to have also encountered this problem. Have now swapped to the Nokia 6500 Slide, which I would recommend over the G600 as the camera on the G600 has too many mega-pixels for the relatively small screen so pixels bleed in to one another and the picture appears blurry.

At first there seems quite alot of menus to send a text, but once you've got used to it you'll find there are quicker ways to skip these. All in all a wicked little phone I think!

Samsung G600 is a nice looking phone but the instructions are awful it's really hard to find out how to change ringtones and message tones. The so called free bluetooth earpiece is useless, keeps falling out of ear and takes ages to connect and then doesnt stay connected. And when trying to message you keep hitting the camera button and it either stops you from texting or cancel your text altogether. Is ok but might return it for a Sony.

The samsung G600 is nowhere near as good as the sony ericsson phones. I have a few gripes. The camera takes bad photos so what if its 5 megapixels, the lens and flash suck. When you get the photos onto the PC there is some type of write protection which makes them difficult to rotote and edit how you want. To send a simple message you have to go through a stupid and complicated selection process to pick the right person. The battery life is poor and overall it's an annoying phone.
