+ The large screen is helpful, because its large. The camera is brilliant and camera features.

- Some of the messaging techniques are not so helpful, and it takes slightly longer to text than on my old phone, which was also a Samsung.

Score 9.0/10

+ The phone is extra stylish, it looks great but it is also easy to use. I has a top class camera and the camcorder which so often lets camera phones down is fantastic.

- You can't see smiley face icons on text message and the memory card saving options aren't great, you have to do that all manually - it doesn't save to memory card automatically.

Mel, Leeds

Score 9.0/10

+ The phone is really easy to use, has a great battery life and has some really good features such as the fm radio and the record function that allows you to record from radio, the camera is fantastic and has lots if fun settings too. it also has really good persoal settings and has a theme creator so you can custamise it exactly how you want it.

- I've had problems with the software that came with the phone and have had to reinstall twice as it stopped recognising the phone was there, apart form that the only problems i've had are the postion of the camera button on the side as when texting it is easy to press which stopped it recognising what I was typing and the bottom corner can dig in to your hand as it is quite pointy.

+ GOOD BATTERY LIFE. Slim design, looks good, good camera and video quality.

- A little over complicated when it comes to navigating menu's.
Texting could be made simpler - too many keystrokes for commands.

+ Its a good style suitable for male and females, I haven't had any problems with it, it is my favourite phone so far and believe me i've had many!!! I would never buy any other brand i love samsung they have the best quality in all their products not just mobile phones, the screen is a great size has a big storage space for all your pictures, videos, music and messages, i'd 100% recommend it, its brilliant.

Expert reviews for Samsung G600

PC Advisor expert review - by Marie Brewis

With a 5Mp camera propping up its generous feature list, the Samsung G600 is automatically propelled into the Nokia N95's premier league.

TechRadar expert review

Samsung has been there, done that and bought the T-shirt as far as ultra-thin mobiles go. But the introduction of a 5-megapixel slimline snapper signifies a move into a new market for the fashion-conscious Koreans.Pitched headlong into an elite group of two, the G600 knocks spots off its Nokia and LG 5-megapixel competitors in terms of sleek looks, fitting its impressive tech-spec into a familiarly sleek, sliding form.Admittedly, it's not on a par with LG's Prada Phone (and forthcoming Viewty 5-megapixel newcomer) or even Samsung's own U600 in terms of panache, but there's something a…

Mobile Phone Buyers Guide  

Manufacturer's Description

5 Megapixel Camera
The Samsung G600 packs a punch with an astonishing 5 Megapixel camera, auto focus and flash. The compact and sleek design is perfect to take anywhere, and you won’t need a separate camera.

Multimedia
The G600 has an in-built FM Radio, a multi format Music Player and don’t forget to utilise the Bluetooth capabilities with a wireless stereo headset, or transfer your music at lightning fast speeds using USB 2.0. Either way, it’s all music to your ears.

Sonic Utopia
How’s this for harmonious? The G600’s MP3 player hosts multiple audio formats, an intuitive Updated Player Skin GUI, a groovy music library, BMG Animation, a Dual Bluetooth Headset and MTP/WMDRM for seamless downloading and so much more.

Mega-Generous MicroSD
Are you the saving type? No problem. Enjoy a generous volume of built-in memory plus a microSD slot that has a virtually limitless capacity. In other words, the phone may be slim, but your pickings don’t have to be.

Boundless Connectivity
Share the fun. Go online, download files and transfer data in a snap with Bluetooth v.2 and high-speed USB. Enjoy faster wireless connections to A2DP/AVRCP headsets, share tunes with a Dual Bluetooth Headset and know the tangible joy of mobile printing.

Bluetooth
Connect like never before, no wires attached, with Bluetooth. Transfer your files faster, without hassle and with greater ease. Enjoy content on headsets, speakers and other peripheral devices. It’s all about options.

Imaging Power
Snapped your photo? Let the fun begin! Use Image Editor to incorporate text, color, cartoon and other effects. Merge image files via Image Stamp. Correct the colour balance of your pics with White Balance. And make prints with PictBridge and BT Printing.

Printing Privileges
Sometimes, you need something you can hold. Connect directly to a printer via USB and print photos and other files using PictBridge. Or, with the touch of a button, use the Basic Printing Profile (BPP) to print on Bluetooth-enabled printers.

Authority on Style
Refined, assuredly poised and with a perfectly edited style. Sounds like the best-dressed gal in town? Not quite. Meet the G600. It’s 14.9mm thin but with an aluminium metal mount in front. Now that’s style with substance.

Browse All You Want
It’s like a PC in your palm. NetFront Browser v.3.4 equips your handset with PC-like browser capabilities. Smart-fit Rendering conforms Web pages to mobile dimensions. PagePilot displays an entire-page layout while Virtual Pointer acts as a mini-mouse.

All About You
The operative letter in “UI” is “U.” That’s why the G600 lets you customize your Changeable UI with exactly the skin you want. Choose and change wallpaper as you wish. Edit display settings according to opacity, focus colour, character colour and more.
