memory card is great, plenty of room for music and videos

Fantastic phone, I chose it in pink, but might I add, the purple version is also beautiful. The battery life is fantastic compared to the Nokia's. It's very easy to navigate around. The memory card is great, plenty of room for music and videos, plus the headphones really make it worthwhile having as an MP3 player.

nearly a year now and never had a single problem with it

I love this phone, its really easy to use. I've had it for nearly a year now and never had a single problem with it. The camera is fantastic. My only problem is that I keep running out of space for text messages (although that is at about 200 between inbox and sent).

cheap contract and I'm really happy with it

I was upgraded to this mobile phone on a cheap contract and I'm really happy with it. Its very easy to operate and the menu is simple to navigate. The camera is good quality and many pictures have been taken and uploaded.

Extras include a radio however you can only listen to it through headphones. The battery life on this phone is brilliant and I charge it every 3 or 4 days.

I don't like the pink as it looks constantly dirty

Really easy to use phone. You do have to go through a few options before you get to send a txt message but again really easy. Very easy to use the camera and the pictures come out really good.

I chose the pink and silver version and the only complaint I have is I don't like the pink as it looks constantly dirty, but that is my opinion and it is totally cosmetic, wish I'd had purple or black.

It is quite big but for the benefits it is worth it. I'm not into technology but even using the radio etc is really simple anyone could do it.

Good customization features, funky design

I've had this phone for about a month, it's quite light but not as light as a previous Samsung phone I'd had before. It's quite a pretty colour, mine's pink, it's not in your face but is quite funky all the same.

The backlight is a bit weird, when you're typing it goes from bright to like a dull colour, it's very off-putting. Although the camera is a 5.0 megapixel, the quality of the photos are terrible, no don't blame me, my partner has got an old Sony Ericsson and his camera's about 2.0 megapixels and they are fantastic photos.

The battery doesn't really last that long, but that said I do leave my phone on 24/7. I'd say it would last about 80 hours with texting and phoning, so it still lasts a while.

I think it has very good options to change it to how you want to look layout wise. My menu background is currently purple in a funky pattern. The colours are very bright.

Also the buttons aren't touch sensitive like my previous phone, I prefer them without this feature as you always end up pressing one button or the other.
I would give this phone an 8/10. Ideal for those fashion concious but not really wanting a james bond gadget phone.

Excellent phone. The Samsung G600 has a sleek design and great usability and features.

One of the best features of this model is that you can create your own themes for the phone including lots of design features. It has a 5.0 megapixel camera and flash, this phone is perfect for the style conscious who want to have a top of the range phone.

good phone but it could have been great if they improve the keypad

Looks good, nice big screen, the only problem is the buttons. They are too small and easily damaged. A wee bit of force required sometimes to get the word/letter you want.

Difficult to get used to (I had a Samsung before and I expected the texting to be the same if not identical). The free headphones are garbage but at least you get the software included unlike previous models.

A good phone but it could have been great if they improve the keypad.

dont like how you cannot change the ringtone for a message

I have had the mobile phone for about a year and have been sent 3 replacements as the mobile has crashed etc. Also I dont like how you cannot change the ringtone for a message. The camera is very good but it would be better if the flash could stay on as a light as well as being the flash. Other than that the mobile is nice to use.

No complaints about this phone, easy and fun to use, great 5.0 megapixel camera, nice slick design. Comes in a range of colours, one of the best Samsumg's ever in my opinion. Battery life is a lot better than most phones today. Would recommend this phone to anyone young or old.

As it is a slide phone it took some getting used to

The camera is good, no complaints except there is a delay so pictures can be slow to take. As it is a slide phone it took some getting used to whilst texting and keys feel very close together. After my last phone which was a Sony Ericsson its, for me a hard act to follow and took a while to get used to.

Good phone overall, I always drop it but it has been very resilient upto now which is great. It is very large compared to quite a few phones out there but so long as you dont want to keep it in fitted pants pockets its ok. The camera is good and has some good features like drawing effect. I would reccomend this phone!

a really good phone, got to grips with it so quickly, I am impressed

So much easier to use than its predecessor, the U600. Gone are the irritating touch buttons, and in comes wonderful iPod style menus (love them) and a great light sensor which lightens/darkens in appropriate sunlight.

I loved creating my own theme for the phone. The only negative I have found is that there are only 4 text tones to choose from, and you cant use a song like you could on the U600.

However, this is a really good phone, got to grips with it so quickly - I am impressed!

A good all round mobile phone

This phone has a sleek look and it makes you look super cool when you get it out of your pocket. But then again, alot more people have it than they used to, which does prove it's good phone, but it may look like you are following the crowd.

So if you're wanting to be original, this phone is a no go. But the phone in general is really good, it is easy to use and adjust to, and has plently of features. Including, a music player, bluetooth, games, internet and so on. It has most things a phone can have,(I might be wrong so dont quote me on that) it doesnt have infared.

The memory on the phone is okay I guess, but I recommend a memory card (yes, that means there is a memory card slot) The phone can only keep up to 220 messages at once, which if you're a keen texter, and depending on if you want to keep your texts or not, can be a good or a bad thing.

But overall, in my opinion, it is a great phone.

when using predictive text you have to turn this off to access symbols

I found the signal very poor with this model, regardless of the area I was in. Also the phone would not remember new additions made in the predictive text library, a bit annoying when you have to keep typing peoples names in. Also when using predictive text you have to turn this off to access symbols such as pound signs.

annoying thing for me is the limited selection of text alert tones

On the whole a very good phone, easy to use and is quite robust. Probably the most annoying thing for me is the limited selection of text alert tones, as a heavy texter, I would like more variety.

Good games and super good camera on the phone, quality looks good when uploaded to a computer.

The Samsung G600 is a good looking easy to use phone, it has no silly touch sensitive function. The phone has a great 5.0 megapixel camera and also has an expandable memory sd card slot. Battery life is also extremely good. I would recommend this phone, the only downsides are I have the pink one and it wears very quickly plus I feel sound is not loud enough for me.

a stylish looking phone with a number of features

This is a stylish looking phone with a number of features, the best one being a high quality camera. The keypad isn't the most user friendly, you have to be slow and careful when typing messages. No problems with the slider - works well. Overall, looks good but a little fiddly. Not a good choice for people with chunky hands and fingers.

Excellent phone, very easy to use with clear and logical menus, the camera is also excellent. This is the first slide mobile phone I have owned and I've been impressed with how robust it is.

It is easy to send and receive texts and make calls, the quality of the screen is brilliant. The only snag is there is no way to save the number of someone who has texted you to the phonebook - you have to write it down on a piece of paper then add it manually. But, this is a small frustration for what is the best phone I've ever owned.

Very happy with it, great features and design

One of the best phones I have had, got my Samsung G600 almost a year ago, the only problem I ever had was the memory but I had got about 700 photo's in it and only a 1GB memory card, I bought a 2GB card which solved this.

But then my phone was stolen so I am unhappy now & looking at buying the Tocco instead, having read the reviews on the Tocco here tonight though am not so sure because I did like my G600 & found it easy to use & everything I needed it for, it was a great all round phone. I even dropped it loads of times & it never affected it at all so very sturdy too.

A fantastic phone, very easy to use, slim, fantastic camera. Can be found quite cheaply for about £100 which for a phone with a 5.0 megapixel camera beats most others on the market. Photos turn out great and can even be be blown up to 10x8 photo prints in excellent quality.

little more expensive than others, but worthwhile

Excellent phone, this is the third Samsung I've owned and its the best. If you've had a Samsung before then this is exactly the same - quick and easy to use. The only problem is getting it to slide open when you're trying to answer it, I wish they'd hurry up and fix this.

I only really use it for phone calls and photos so I can't comment on the other features (not learned how to use them yet) but the camera is great and picture quality really good. A little more expensive than others for sale but worth it.

techno-phobe and I found the phone very easy and simple to use

Very handy phone, large memory and very easy to use. Pictures/photos could be clearer but a very minor problem compared to the rest of the phone. Very durable, I have dropped my phone no end of times and it is still in great working condition.

The phone is also very stylish and isn't bulky like some mobile phones. I am a techno-phobe and I found the phone very easy and simple to use.

Phone looks good and is relatively easy to use as long as you don't want anything too high tech. It has a semi decent camera and also a radio which can be handy if you don't own an iPod. Had mine 6 months and the battery still last for a good few days, unlike other phones I've had in the past.

it is not as good as the Sony K810i but not far off.

Captured many a valuble moment with the Samsung G600

The G600 from Samsung is a very clever and stylish mobile phone but I found setting it up a little tedious but now I have had it for a while it is an essential part of my life and is very useful.

The 5.0 megapixel camera is a great piece of engineering, I've captured many a valuble moment with this, very recommended.

Really like the G600, music features are great

I wanted this phone for ages because I had heard lots about it from other people. My main reason for getting it was because you can use it like an MP3 player. The music is really easy to load onto the phone, the only problem I found is if you listen to the music a lot the battery goes flat quickly.

Very stylish looking phone but there are one or two drawbacks

I'll be perfectly honest, I chose this phone because it was pink. It is a very stylish looking phone but there are one or two drawbacks with it and certain features take a little bit of getting used to.

The camera is excellent, the music player is excellent but the choice of ringtones and message tones is very limited. The text messaging takes a lot of getting used to especially if you are used to (and who isn't) predictive text

Overall I love it, but the paintwork and finish quality could be better though

I love the Samsung G600, but I do have a few slight criticisms about it. My boyfriend and I both have the same phone and the paint has came of the front of them both so they look a bit worn and old.

The camera is great, 5.0 megaxpixels, one of my other criticisms is a small one but it bugs me, there is only space for 200 text messages even with a memory card and you can only choose between a couple of set message tones, you cannot have personal ones.

Apart from these small things I love the phone, the MP3 player is great and you can use it while doing other things on the phone, the bluetooth is ultra fast.

One of my favourite parts about the phone is that you can completely personalise it. You can make you own background and choose all the colours and the text colour on the menu and you can have a photo for the menu background if you want.

All in all I havent had any problems with it apart from the paintwork.

Has a feature list to back up it's good looks

The look and feel of the G600 is faultless, it really looks the part and has a feature list to back up it's good looks.

The 5.0 megapixel camera is excellent as long as you remember to adjust the settings to high. The built in radio and media player is well laid out and easy to use. One neat touch I like is the ability to see who's sent the text before opening it.

The build quality is also excellent with a good solid feel to the phone, it doesn't have that plastic feel of some other models.

The downsides of this phone are few, the one obvious one is the lack of text message tones, you have a choice of 4 and that's it. Overall a great phone that is as practical as it looks good, highly recommended.

Sadly, this initial appearance is slightly deceiving

At first glance, the Samsung G600 strikes you as robust, stylish phone with a nice simple interface. Sadly, this initial appearance is slightly deceiving.

Some mobile phones you can learn how to use all the features simply using your intuition and checking out all the menus. Learning to use such phones is like learning to ride a bike.

Learning to use some of the basic functions of the G600 is like learning a car. It takes a lengthy read of the phone's manual just to make it work with a PC.

The much trumped 5.0 megapixel camera also disappoints. My previous phones 2.0 megapixel camera somehow managed to take pictures that were more vibrant. It's hard to pinpoint the exact problem but it may be a slightly lack lustre shade to the colours.

Another problem is the phone only allows their pre-loaded sounds for text message alert. In a world awash with fun MP3s for such use, this seems a particularly retrograde feature.

However, if you can get past these stumbling blocks, the G600 is a nice looking phone and quite robust. The music player has some nice features, such as displaying album covers on the menu, though the PC interface software is annoying and clunky. It's probably best to try something else.

Thank you Samsung for making a mobile that any technophobe can use

I have found the Samsung G600 easy to use with excellent features, the best bit is to be able to access my e-mails away from home.

The design of the phone is very good and I love the colour (mine is pink). The ringtones are nice and loud which is very helpful when you cant remember where you put it.

I would be lost without the diary and never be on time for anything. Thank you Samsung for making a mobile phone that any technophobe would love to use.

Great phone but the finish could be more durable

I find this phone very easy to use, all the features are easy to find and adding photos, taking photos are all easy to do.

The overall look of the phone I find is very attractive, one thing I must say is that the slider does bind slightly on the bottom but it doesnt matter too much, also I found that the finish wore off quite quickly, like the top corners and bottom corners wore off in a space of about 4 weeks.

But overall its a great phone.

An excellent phone let down by the software and camera

To begin with I was very impressed with the design of the Samsung G600, it is very smooth, solid and the slide mechanism is a delight being so smooth when opening and closing, but after a few days of use I found that the software used for text messaging was very poor.

As I use predictive text all the time I rely on adding new words for the phone to remember but with the G600 words would be lost between 4 - 24 hours for no reason whatsoever.

Also having quite large fingers I found the small keys quite hard to get used to and quite often pressed multiple keys at the same time. The camera is 5.0 megapixel which sounds great as part of a phone package but when taking photos the phone has to be kept absolutely still as does the the thing/person being photographed or the picture ends up looking blurred. The zoom is very poor also.

Finally the phone is only able to support a 2gig memory card which is quite small considering a lot of phones nowadays come with 5gig as standard.

An excellent phone for style but only average at best for the software.

Had to send this phone back and I have to send it back again

God this phone is the most biggest pain, three times I have had to send this phone back and I have to send it back again. I can't make any calls or receive calls, I have to turn the phone off and on again to get it to work.

Very unhappy and will not be buying a Samsung again, my old Sony works very, well no faults and I have never had problems like this before.

This could be a network issue but whilst in the Vodafone shop, two other people were complaining of the same fault, the assistant said it was a bad signal what utter rubbish.

be as sneaky as you can!

Privacy lock for individual things like your text messages or photos

The phone is quite big and bulky to use and most irritating as the menu button keeps sticking. It is so annoying, what I do like about it is that you have a privacy lock for individual things like your text messages or photos so if you have a snoop in your midsts you can leave your phone lying around safely.

That is why I am keeping this phone, I would rather swear at the menu button than get caught having secret messages or photos.

It is a nice looking phone but a bit too big, but I will struggle on with it until O2 offer me a new one.

Hope this helps someone who doesn't want anyone snooping about their text messages. Life can be so hard at times.

Lack of word selection in the text editor

I've used this phone for a while now and while I certainly can't complain about the camera or MP3 Player I do find the layout clunky compaired to my old 6280i, using the internet, the lack of word selection in the text editor means you only have manual input which is very slow when using mobile MSN, the input problem also goes for the phone book too.

I'm on my second one now after the up and left buttons stopped working on the first one and now this one is switching off at random, good for the price but I will buy Nokia next.

5.0 megapixels with a good lense

I got this phone in August 2007. Mainly as I wanted a new phone and they recommended it was excellent value as the cheapest deal per month, I'm on T-mobile and went on a £15 per month tariff.

The camera is 5.0 megapixels with a good lense, which I really wanted, comparing the images against my 8.0 megapixel camera, its excellent and you cannot see the difference until you enlarge the pictures.

The other functions are great. It does takes a bit of getting used to like any if you change manufacturers. The music player is not in the same league with ease of use comapared to the Sony Ericsson's, but I dont use that function much anyway.

I bought it for the camera and video function and to take and make calls, and using these functions, it's great.

found the photo quality questionable, particularly at night

Excellent phone, very easy to use, nice and slim in the pocket. However photo quality is questionable considering it is supposed to be 5.0 megapixels, the flash on the mobile phone is also very poor quality so pictures taken at night time are also very poor.

Brilliant phone and I have had a fare few

Brilliant phone, the best one I have had so far and I have had a fare few. Brilliant camera, very clear, can zoom in and the picture still looks clear.
Has an MP3 player and radio which is good, it also switches the player off if you get a message or phone call.

Have already recommended it to family and friends

I love this phone, every Samsung I have had in the past broke but this one is fantastic, I have already recommended it to family and friends. The phone is easy to use, even my 4 year old daughter can work the camera and the mp3 player on the phone so if she can anyone can, the picture quality is also fantastic.

Dropped it many many times and it is very durable

Nice looking phone, although the touch keys can be a pain sometimes, especially when sending a text message. I have dropped it many many times and it is very durable as its still in one piece. Good phone overall, good camera but video camera quite poor.

Cool, stylish phone, easy to navigate and an excellent camera. Like the feature that you can have a picture and different ringtone for contacts stored in the phonebook i.e photo of caller. Love Samsung phones and this one is no exception, would recommend, I have the pink version which is so feminine, good battery life, also like the MP3 player.

I think Samsung need to come up with some different menus

This phone does look rather stylish with the dark casing, but overall its very basic to me as I am used to Sony Ericsson, I think Samsung need to come up with some different menus etc as every model seems to be the same. Apart from that I have had no problems with the G600 mobile phone at all.

Nice looking phone. Not so easy to text (coming from owning a Nokia for years), battery life isn't all that fantastic. Camera on phone is really good, access to the internet is relatively easy. Comes with a bluetooth set which is handy. Easy to download pic's to a computer.

The silver paint effect is of poor quality

The phone is acceptable, however, the silver paint effect is of poor quality and with general usage starts to flake away and ends up looking cheap and old very quickly.

The camera is meant to be 5.0 megapixel but quality of photos isn't great. The storage capacity for photos and music is good as is the sound quality.

The phone is pretty lightweight and slim so can be carried around easily unnoticed.

A good example of modern mobile phone technology

The G600 from Samsung has a very sleek and sophisticated design. The screen has a high quality resolution and a nice colour balance. The 5.0 megapixel camera is also a nice bonus feature, although it can produce quite blurred pictures as it is hard to hold very still. Overall though, the phone is simple, stylish and a good example of modern mobile phone technology.

Photo quality doesnt seem to reflect 5.0 megapixels

I think that this phone is ok but one of the main downfalls is the camera, its meant to be 5.0 megapixels but the photo quality doesnt seem to reflect that. At the moment there are alot better phones out there with more features, this phone doesnt even have video calling, but overall its ok for the basic phone user.

I am happy to recommend it

All together this is a great phone and I am happy to recommend it. At first it took a little getting used to as it is wider and flatter to hold than my previous phone but now I'm used to that it's just fine. I particularly like the clear screen and camera quality.

Samsung G600 has served me extremely well

I have not had my phone long but the Samsung G600 has served me extremely well. I bought it for the design/look and am still happy with it. The camera is really good as it takes excellent pictures. Other than this it does not have many more advanced features although I did not buy the phone with this in mind. Overall I am happy with my phone.

I think the Samsung G600 is brill.

I've had the Samsung G600 for around five months now, I think it's brill. Ive had no problems with it and I think that Samsungs are definately the best bet for a reliable, up to date mobile.

The design of the phone is really sleek. I love the gun metal colour and the overall sturdy feel of the phone. The screen is also a great size with an excellent display.

I've only given this phone a three for features because I was rather dissapointed with the camera. I was lead to believe that the picture quality would be immaculate, but they are quite pixelated and even worse when taken in false lighting or at night time. However, this doesn't bother me as I'm not a big camera user.

I love most of the other features on this phone, especially the custom made themes, mp3 player and radio. Another negative aspect is that you cannot choose your own message tones. However, there are a few installed within the phone and these are pretty regular and safe. The Bluetooth also doesn't seem as good as some other phones, if I'm sitting next to someone in a pub full of people and they're sending me something, you can guarentee that my name will be the last to appear, if it appears at all. However this may just be my phone because I've never had problems with the Bluetooth on my other Samsungs.

The usability is excellent and after a few hours of fiddling I found it really easy to use, and the navigation is also really easy. Some users may find the texting difficult because you have to be really quick, this wont bother power texters and is quite easy to get used to in anyway.

Overall, this is one of the best mobile phones that I have ever had. It's great and more importantly, its a phone that I can trust. The battery last for ages and more importantly, its survived a few nasty falls, not even a scratch on it!! If you're looking for a modern mobile phone without the gimics, the Samsung G600 is for you!

Thanks for reading my review of the Samsung G600, Gaz.

The sliding action tends to stick

The G600 is a nice looking phone, very stylish and slim style. However the battery power doesnt seem to last long and the signal always seems weak but I guess that could be a network coverage issue.

Some good features on the phone but find them difficult to negotiate at times, very clear screen but the sliding action tends to stick which can cut the phone off when your trying to answer.

G600 is great to use

This phone is excellent for the price.

Very easy to operate, great for teenagers too.

Internet very easy to use and is quite fast. Design of the phone is simple and is great to use.

Good phone all round. Good choice of colour.

Great quality of pictures and video

I expected the G600 to be lighter and thinner. I would have preferred a different colour, mine is grey.

Also the phone did not come automatically with the option of displaying my number to others. I had to call and ask about it. Was told I needed to put in another T-Mobile sim card to activate it, which was inconvenient for me.

On a positive note, the quality of pictures and video is good. I got my Samsung G600 on contract for free.

Like everything about the Samsung G600

Bought the Samsung G600 2 weeks ago now.

Doesn't feel heavy due to the ergonomics. Liked everything about it.

Normal Samsung 3 day battery life on average. Radio is far more sensitive than Sony Ericsson's phones, as it picks up the fainter stations without any problems.

Camera acceptable. Video ok, for the spec. Comes with 1GB memory card.

Best camera phone

I love this phone! I mean it may not be the best looking phone but it's fantastic. Love the camera.

If anyone is looking for a good camera phone look no further this is the best phone out. I had this phone for a month and its already got about three cousins buying one 2 because they like mine so much!

Great camera phone

Anyone looking for a camera phone should look no further. I was a Nokia user prior to buying this phone and I am more than happy with my samsung g600.

If you want a phone that you can carry on you to take great pictures this phone is for you. It so slim you don't realise you are carrying it and yet it takes amazing photos!

Oh did I mention it can make a phone call as well ;-)

The camera is amazing!

I absolutely love this phone! The camera is amazing! Its got a 5 megapixel camera built in and this phone is tiny! I used to carry my seperate 5 megapixel digital camera when I went out for nights with the ladies ;) Now I certainly don't need to as this is perfect for getting out to grab some shots. It comes with the usual features such as bluetooth. I had a Samsung mobile phone before so I find it really easy to use.
