Moving from Nokia to Samsung

Feb 24, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: ALL in one
Cons: no accesories
Opinion:
I just bought this device after a positive referance from a close friend who has been using dopod, htc etc. Anyway it has been two week & i find the transition from Nokia N73 to samsung i600 was not that difficult. In fact, i would recommend this i600. From days of Psion Revo, HP4700, N73 if you considering a smartphone, you should seriously consider the i600.
The downside is that i can not use any of my nokia charges or headphone. It has propriety connector, therefore you may reconsider, if you are not using PC/USB to charge the i600.
Overall, try the i600.No regrets......YET

 

A Decent Smart Phone

Feb 22, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Connectivity features, Compact Size
Cons: Hangs occassionally
Opinion:
Got this smart phone with the Starhub carrier back in Nov 07. A decent looking phone with all upto date connectivity features.

The problem I find is that it occasionally Hangs during an incoming call, having to restart again which is very annoying. Do anyone have similar problems.

Other than that the connectivity features such as Wifi are great with WM6 platform allowing many 3rd party softwares to operate.

 

One of the best smartphones in a long time

If not for its Very Good Form Factor and wifi, this phone is trash

Nov 8, 2007

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: Very thin and compact form factor... comes with extended battery& 2gb micro sd at a cost of S$378 from Starhub
Cons: No Office Mobile and Chinese reading or input capability. Left very low memory if installed with 3rd party apps
Opinion:
Just bought this phone from Starhub at S$378. Comes with WM6 Std installed and 1 standard battery and 1 extended battery included in the package. On top of that I was given a free 2Gb micro SD card. A bargain that is hard to resist.

However, I must warn readers that this smartphone does not include MS Office Mobile and it has no built-in chinese reading or writing capabilities. For reading of MS Office and PDF files, it can be opened with Picsel Viewer. However, if you need editing function, you have to fork out US$25 to download Document to Go Premium from online stores. For Chinese input, you can download CE Star for smartphone at the cost of US$25.

The reason why i mentioned the cost of these software is to point out that although these features are not available out of the box, they are available online at a cost. If those are the features you ... Read more
