Best of the best

Mar 5, 2009

Rating: 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

Jan 23, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
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 ;-)

 

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.
