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.

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.

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.

The Samsung G600 is so easy to use that within hours i felt like i was almost fully conversant with it. The menus are easy to navigate and the auto set up feature makes the process of setting up even easier.

The worst point about the phone is i have a tone which sounds everytime you perform an action such as delete/send a message and i cant get rid of it.

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.

I honestly can't think of any bad points, maybe the phone bill!!! (But thats my fault!!!!)

The Samsung G600 is very easy to use, brilliantly designed and is a sleek, attractive phone. It's great for camera lovers because of the 5 megapixel camera. The most popular cameras on the market at the moment for personal use are 7 megapixels because of the great picture quality still at an affordable price and a camera close to this standard is already built into the phone. The sound quality is also excellent and something that not all phones have but I find comes in very handy is the memory card slot. I've filled it up with music and now I don't need to carry around an MP3 either.

I only have a few small problems with the phone. As I use lots of features e.g. the camera, radio and music player the battery can run out fairly quickly but as long as you fully charged the battery it will last for a few days. There isn't much storage space on the phone itself but the solution to this is in the memory card. This comes with the phone but if you want a memory card with more space they come very cheap too. My only other problem is the difficulty in using certain symbols while texting e.g. '&£ I overcame this by using predictive text as it seems to be easier and quicker to text this way on almost all Samsung phones.

Like the feel of it, seems pretty sturdy and solid slider. Good screen. Good camera - not extensively used yet though. Like the background picture which changes depending on which country you are in - Big Ben in London, Barcelona Cathedral in Spain etc. Like the fact I can answer calls by opening slider (no buttons!). Calendar is pretty good - can mark dates with different colours for appts, anniversaries, miscellany etc.

Navigation takes a bit of getting used to but haven't had a Samsung before. Texting is a bit annoying, especially adding recipients - I'd like to start typing their name and for it to automatically look up the person but it take many more button presses than this. Also, when you save a draft text, it doesn't save the recipient which is v. annoying.

You need to come out of a picture/text message to move on to the next (very time consuming). If some one sends you an email with a telephone number in it you can not copy the number to save it in your contacts.

Looks good, sound quality is impressive.

Screen scratched very badly within a few days of use, despite my extreme care to protect my shiny new phone, handset digs into palm during use, only stores 200 messages, everything about the camera function is very slow and even pictures taken with flash require an extremely steady hand. The phone cannot be put onto a 'lights only' function; it has to use either vibration or a quite ringtone unless switched off. Texting is very slow and the phone often gets left behind. The dictionary does not remember words which are added to it. Realtones cannot be assigned to text alerts. There is also no message counter. Samsung have added too many extras to the phone so it just does not satisfy when using its basic functions.

I'm trying hard to think of any good points. I do like having the radio on it, that's about it.

Keys are slow to respond when texting. Having thumb nails I find it hard to text the top row as the slide screen is so close to the top. When choosing a person to text I'm used to typing in the first few letters of the name and the name coming up rather than having to go looking for the name then selecting it then inserting it, its all abit of a faff. My number of texts has gone down since having this phone as I find it too slow and longwinded. Sound quality is also abit naff, very crackly and hard to hear someone at times.

Reception is generally quite good and the sound quality is high. It works well as a phone, which was the main reason for my wanting it! It has lots of other features but I generally don't have the time or inclination to find out how to use them.

The camera is very slow and most photos end up being deleted because the picture is 'after the moment' rather than capturing it. This is a shame as it was the camera quality that led me to choose this phone.

I purchased a "visor" hands free kit and it wasn't compatible. I didn't want a headset or an earpiece, and to date I haven't found an alternative that it will syncronise with.
