Samsung U600 review: Slim is sweet

It seems Samsung really takes making sleek looking and ultra thin mobile phones to heart. It's no wonder that the Samsung Ultra lineup has become a significant part of the company's mobile portfolio. We got hold of another Ultra Series II member, the...

Great looking and very well built ; Navigation combining touch-sensitive and standard keys ; Camera with 3.2 megapixel resolution and autofocus ; EDGE ; Large display with great image quality ; microSD memory card slot ; Seamless PC connectivity and...

Weak sunlight legibility ; No 3G ; User interface is on the slow side ; Confirm key starts the web browser in stand-by ; Keys within the same row have no distinguishable borders and typos are likely ; Battery life is not among the best

Samsung U600 is considered to be the runner-up for leadership in the Ultra line II, behind Samsung U700, but that is not completely true. Actually the two phones come from two different research and development centers of Samsung and we would prefer to...

Sprint 3G/4G USB U600

The Sprint 3G/4G USB U600 from Franklin Wireless is the best way to connect to Sprint's 3G and 4G networks right now.

Good signal and speeds. Windows and Mac compatible. Simple design

Dim status lights

It's a close race, and the U600 is certainly no reason for you to go run out and replace your 250U; they function a lot more like identical twins than fraternal. But because of the U600's slightly faster download speeds, as well as its pleasant, simple...

Samsung SGH-U600 review: Samsung SGH-U600

The Samsung U600 has an attractive design with a gorgeous display. It offers a decent selection of features, including Bluetooth and a quality camera.

The Samsung U600 had passable call quality, and the speakerphone wasn't very usable. Also, it lacks voice dialing and we didn't like the push controls.

The Samsung U600 is more than just a beauty, but it won't please the most demanding cell phone users.

SAMSUNG SGHU600 review | cellphone prices in php | cellphones | www.CgeNa.com

A straight down the middle slider handset which will appeal to the masses.

Samsung U600 represents a good balance of miniaturization and functionality. Design wise, panalo! Tingin pa lang may dating na. It produces acceptable result with sound. It has a good quality camera, if you do not want to photograph fast-moving...

Samsung SGH-U600 camera phone

The beautiful, slim Samsung SGH-U600 camera phone surprises, not only with its good looks, but also with its touch-sensitive keys. The product comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera, MP3 player, FM radio, and other features, including the ability to project...

We actually liked the Samsung SGH-U600 a great deal, but are hesitant to give it a higher score because of two potential issues that may bother many phone owners. We liked it because it is a slim and elegant product. It has an excellent screen with...

Samsung U600 (Ultra 10.9)

Samsung Ultra Edition 10.9 (U600) includes a unique and stylish interface for the ultimate sophistication and usability. It also comes equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera encased in an ultra slim profile and boasting a 2.22inch wide TFT LCD widescreen.

Once setup, i gave it a shot and found that it is pretty useful. Since i get a lot of emails from forums, i just set the email check to manual.

Samsung SGH-U600 review

A new generation of Ultra slim style is ushered in

Top notch looks ; 3.2-megapixel camera ; Smart Search facility

No 3G ; Lack of definition between keys ; Fiddly interface

A stylish handset that manages to push design boundaries and combine class with multimedia functionality

Samsung SGH-U600 mobile phone

Samsung continuing its "Every phone we make has to be thinner than a piece of paper" route has released what it's claiming is the world's thinnest slider phone - the SGH-U600. At only 10.9mm thick it's pretty thin and it's amazing to think that only 10...

Large display, easy to use interface, thin

No 3G, touch sensitive buttons

With only quad-band GSM support those looking for 3G connectivity will be disappointed, certainly considering that Sony Ericsson has managed it with its non-sliding W880i Walkman handset which is equally as thin. That said, the U600 is a good strong...
