CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: Slim and sexy design; thumbwheel provides a BlackBerry-like user experience; microSD expansion slot; HSDPA, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity; supports A2DP; user-friendly interface; excellent sound quality on speakerphone; second battery included. 8
out of 10View score
The bad: QWERTY keyboard needs some getting used to especially for users with large digits; proprietary port for charging and synchronizing phone; no audio port; basic camera feature set; no onboard flash light.
The bottom line: Easily the king of connectivity in the QWERTY-equipped smart phones category, the i600 boasts strong features in a sexy, compact, monoblock form factor.

Best of the best
Mar 5, 2009Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Wi-Fi, windows, qwerty, conectivity, quality, apperance...
Cons: No GPS, micro sd limited to 2gb, to weak loudspeaker
Opinion:
I have this phone for almost a year, and i am free to say that that is the one of the best (smart)phones that i have ever had. Wi-Fi, qwerty, windows mobile 5, 3g... excellent. It has fall out from my hands for several times, and not a scratch, it has 350 hours of conversation, and battery seems not to get any weaker... The most quality samsung that was ever made (i have no idea what is it made of). Only thing that i don't like is the sound of ringing tone (it is too weak) and the absence of the GPS. Everything else is just perfect...!!!!!!! Where can i download windows mobile 6,send me link, please!!!!!!!
Very useful and light phone

Pros: speed, wifi,connection, size
Cons: keys are a little fiddly
Opinion:
Compared to other phones that I have the i600 is every biy as good as the Nokia e51 and with a bigger screen, and because you type every letter there is no T9 embarrassing mistakes. Its battery life is good for a Samsung with this capability. But the beauty of it is in an age where street crime is rife in many countries (I have had phones stolen in such a robbery) having a phone that easily slips into a side pocket and is not detectable is very very important
This is indeed an awesome smartphone and user friendliest too ;-)

Pros: Has al the features that U need as a phone and PDA though but.........
Cons: except that U can't edit on windows office,limited to only 2GB external microSD and unable to sent out Chinese/Mandarin characters text.... oh...... and also the caller ID's picture is far too small :-p
Opinion:
The Samsung SGH-I600 is indeed a great smartphone.It is sleek & slim with a comfortable LCD.
Its kind of a setback though because the build in speaker is a little too soft compare to most other phones.It would be great if Samsung is able to incorporate or offer free upgrade features such as security-privacy and mobile tracker into i600 like most other Samsung mobile phones has in it.
Nevertheless,I am very happy with the phone till date ;-)
