The
Samsung E600 is Samsung's smallest camera phone, with a clamshell
design much like the old A800, but with tons more features!
The
TFT screen displays 65,000 colours, which is ideal for displaying
photos and videos. The screen is small, but this is understandable
in such a tiny lightweight phone. The E600 has 64-voice polyphonic
sound and Java™ capability, so that you can download and play
games, making full use of the display and sound quality.
The
integrated camera includes Multi Shot; Matrix Shot; Night Shot;
Photo Frame & Effect; 5x Digital Zoom; Self Portrait; Motion-JPEG;
and Photo-CLI. The Motion-JPEG feature allows you to record videos
and playback by taking a series of pictures in rapid succession.
Photo-CLI lets you match photos of people to their numbers in the
phonebook.
In
summary, the main appeal of the E600 is for those looking for a
very compact, lightweight camera/video phone. The E600 is only slightly
smaller than the E700 and E800, which both have a larger screen
but lack the video function.
Features
of the Samsung E600 include:
VGA camera (640 x 480 pixels)
Video recording and playback
Internal display: 65,000 colours, 128 x 128
pixels

i got this phone a few months ago when it was brand new and it was
amazing! However, the novelty has since worn off, and i am actually
thinking off getting an upgrade in just a few months! The picture
quality is good (although it is a phone so don't expect miracles)
and the design is sleek. My sister got this phone too and she still
loves it, but she is only 15! It is brilliant for a teenager, but
maybe not a 21-year-old student obsessed with neat features! I wish
it had more stuff and the texting is a bit of a pain. Also, the
ring tones are so loud and i am sick of getting into trouble in
class when someone phones me! get this phone if you are not a mobile
manic, but dont get it if you permanently have a phone glued to
your ear (like mua). Rating:

Hi ppl!!! I have had an e600 4 about 3 months and i luv it to bits.
The camera is gr8 and the video is quite gud 2 (xcept u can't snd
it 2 ppl). The camera has very cool effects and i couldn't be happier
with it. Especially the self portrait feature where u can take pix
with the flip closed and see yourself on the front LCD. (VERY COOL).
However, the texting drives you mad if ur in a hurry bt i dnt care
bout dat (believe me u du gt used 2 it eventually). Da menu is really
easy to use and da 64 poly ringtones are mind blowing. I was attracted
by its dinky size and light w8 and i luv it 4 that. It fits into
ur pocket with ease (it so small half the time i think iv lost it).
This was my first samsung fone and i changed from the very common
Nokia 7250i (okay fne 2) and i think i will probably go back to
a nokias afta this one. Don't get me wrong tho samsungs r gr8 2
but i feel some of the features on nokias are more thought out.
I do av a slight problem with my fne however. it keeps saying "LIMITED
SERVICE". this stops you getting texts, calls, etc which is a real
pain!!!! Does ne 1 else av dis problem??? Ne1 hu disses this fne
is wrong. For da price it beats the e700 and e800 which my friends
have. They dont have video but are more simple to use i guess and
are a lot more expensive. The e600 has a lot more features, costs
less and is much more exclusive than them common fones. Overall
I am very pleased with this fone and don't let my nagging put u
off there just tiny little niggles. Buy one and b happy and proud
of your purchase. I am!!! Rating:

This phone is absolutly rubbish dont bother buying it!!!!! ive had

the phone keeps crashing on me, texting is awful, messages dont
send and if they do they send about 4 times, the camera can take
good quality photos but is very sensitive so if u move slightly
it blurrs, its too slow i text faster than the phone can deal with,
i hate the fact that if u close the phone you lose everything, do
i need to go on.......... Dont get me wrong this phone looks good
and is small but for me it just doesn't cut it. my sendo M550 was
better than this. The one thing i do like about this phone is the
caller ID and only that!!!!!!!! DONT BOTHER. Rating:

Firstly, this has to be the sexiest phone out there - you may like
the slidy ones, but when you're in the street, flipping this small
sleek phone to answer does feel very cool. And owning a S300 previously,
it's good to see they've cured some problems. These are: adding
words on predictive text, MMS capabilites and a very cool 65k colour
front screen this time too. This makes the caller ID pictures brilliant.
And using EasyGPRS to download all the pics to my computer, the
quality isn't that bad for the well lit photos - pretty reasonable
640x480 resolution. Grumbles include: as somebody mentioned earlier,
inability to copy numbers all at once from sim to phone and vice
versa (makes backing up numbers v. tedious), short videos (30 secs),
no loud-speaker so tricky watching and listening to videos at once,
should've had memory card slot like the nokias, no stop watch...
and I think that's it! These are all relatively small because this
is a wicked phone, stylish, and well designed software-wise too! Rating:

hi, i just bought the samsung e600 and for those wanting a good
review on it i will do my best. firstly if you are deciding on the
latest range of phones. i.e e300 e330 then the e600 is way above
them in my opinion. mainly due to the fact that the e600 has amazing
polyphonics and video recorder. screen - very good screen display,
on both screens. the inside is 128 128 pixels which is slightly
less than the 128 160 pixels but to be honest you can't really notice
the difference! the screen is very bright and photo's come up very
well on the screen. external screen is also very bright and you
can set it to either blue/green/purple etc..it displays the time
and the date although the phone automatically turns off after a
few seconds to conserve battery time. this is a little irritating
but you cna always turn the button on the side to see it again.
something which some people may be worried about is the size of
the screen which seems quite small. however it is perfectly adequate
to display photo's and isn't a problem at all. camera/video- extremely
good camera, if you put it on the highest kind (super fine) the
pictures come out fantastic but they do take up more memory. video
recorder is also very good, picture remains a little shaky but then
again it is on the top end of video recording phones and the quality
is still tops. ringtones- polyphonic, no MP3 ringtones though. very
good selection of ringtones and more downloadable. ringtones are
very loud and clear and use the latest 64-voice which is the best
yo can get, apart from true tones. (but i do recommend you don't
put it on max. volume!) texting- not really a problem and certainly
not as 'impossible' as some people say. nokia phones are a little
easier to text with but once you get used to it texting isn't a
problem at all. you can also save loads of messages..i think up
to about 100 or maybe more! games- java gaming is very good, 4 games
pre-installed but i don't really go them so i dont know much about
them. more downloadable. all the other features of a phone are there..e.g
calender, to do list, recently dialled numbers etc. i'd say this
is one of the best handsets you can buy at the moment. for the size
(which is amazing and really useful if you want to slide your phone
into your tight jeans without it sticking out your pocket!)its got
loads of features.its definately a womens phone as its so petite
and fashionable. its a very easy phone to use (unlike motorola's
which i find quite annoying) and i really don't think you would
be dissapointed. the only minor complaint is that i think it is
a little bit too expensive. it retails at about 160-190 pounds but
then samsung is a very popular name, and truthfully you can't really
ask for a more respected name. Rating:

This phone is average/good. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.
It looks good, is easy enough to use, the camera is really nice
and games are ok. However it does lack a few features compared with
my old Nokia 8310 that really annoyed me! Texting is a pain, it
always starts on capitals and it's a real pain changing it every
time and it just generally hard to get the text what it wants. Another
thing that shows it lack of quality is the fact that words are spilt
and half goes onto the next line so it's hard to see what u've actually
wrote and if it's the right word! Other features it lacks is a timer,
it has absolutely no timing facility, no second hand and count down
thing. How am I suppose to time my cooking :P It also lacks facility
to store peoples birthdays or address under there name in the address
book. The ring tones are well rubbish and if u press the wrong button
when u flap it open it plays it really loud, grrrr. I've sent it
back and am getting the sony errision k700i, my boyfriend has it
and that has SO many more feature, all the things I mentioned that
thhe Samsung e600 lack and more: for example a picture of the person
who send you a text comes up, unlike this phone where it's only
if someone rings you. It also has a radio and MP3 player which can
be played on speaker...how cool! So if you want a small average
phone, get this. It's not bad. I thought I would be able to live
with it being substandard beside my boyfriends but I can't. I want
my phone to do as much as possible :) Rating:

i'd like to set all you monkeys straight on. 1) copying contacts
from sim to phone CAN be done and is terribly easy (yes,it is a
bit time consuming, but it CAN BE DONE!) if you serach through your
contacts, select a contact and go to 'copy', you then get the option
to copy the contact to your sim or to your phone - told you it was
simple. 2) if your gonna complain about the backlight and the service
light you have two options - for the service light, option 1. turn
the service light off by changing the display settings or 2. realise
how dumb you have been by not noticing this and stop complaining
- if your gonna complain, make sure you know what your going on
about!!! and as for the backlight, you can either change the colour
so that it is not set on a colour that is really bright or once
again, you can accept that you dont know how to change it, or alternatively,
stop complaining. i love this phone to bits, the texting suits me,

my grandmother bought me an e600 un Hong Kong. its ok.. its like
my panasonic g50, only clam type. transferring contacts from the
sim card to the phone memory is a nightmare! im editing everything
manually and the phone does not recognize some symbols, which sucks.
mine's made in china so its a perk that i could type in chinese
characters. pinyin, traditional or simplified. it's also not set
in default t9, so its ok. its not exactly a fast phone, but its
faster than my panasonic g50. Rating:

Samsung to be incredibly un-user friendly, the text messaging system
was very buggy (and hard to use, unlike the SE), the ringtones didnt
always seem to work, the games were pretty poor and I found it quite
hard and fiddly to open (big fingers perhaps?!). Plus, xall me boring,

phone mainly cos I txt loads, I'm a bit peed off with that aspect.
I have 2 disagree tho wen ppl say the picture quality is poor -
it's actually way better than any other phone I've seen! But it's
people's opinions I guess. The menu setup isnt that gr8 either,
and the voice recorder volume is so loud and as far as I'm aware
(any ideas?!) u can't turn it up. I got this phone on contract,

I have to say that i was very disapointed with this phone. Firstly,
the screen is so tiny, it drives me mad. Also, sending txts is a
nightmare, it does not wrap the text and you cant change to abc
mode as a default meaning that every time u write a text message
you have to change from t9 to abc. You constantly have to change
from lower case to uppercase if you want to use a symbol for example
a '!' symbol can be done in uppercase only but a ',' symbol can
only be done in lower.Very frustrating indeed. camera picture quality
is awful. menu style is poor. The outer screen does not display
anything (as though the phone is switched off) unless you press
a button on the side of the phone. The polyphonics however are amazing! Rating:

and wow! there is a 10,000 peso difference from e700. if you will
buy this in greenhills, it will only cost 14 thou instead of the
23000+ of e700, considering that this phone has video capabilities,
and i believe this is a tri-band phone compared to e700 which is
a dual band. but i guess this is ok for female users only with small

I have small hands and it's great to hold (some larger mobile are
awkward for me. On the practical side, however, I find some things
quite irritating: Firstly, the fact that you can only see the time
on the front when you lift the cover up - it would be nice to have
the time displayed while it sits on my desk. Secondly, texting is
a pain as it it reverts back to T9. Finally, I am really surprised
that the alarm doesn't have a 'snooze' facility which I would have
thought was a basic must! I normally use my mobile when travelling
but not this one. As someone who uses my phone for everything; from

This being my first Samsung phone, I'm comparing it with my previous
Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones. Overall a good phone if you are
looking for a tri-band, basic camera/video camera phone. However,
quite a number of minus points. 1) You cannot copy numbers from
the SIM card to the phone and vice-versa. That is highly troublesome
if you have hundreds of contacts on your previous SIM card and you
are getting a new one. 2) There is no option available to lower
the brightness of the LCD back-lighting according to your preference
and also because the brightness determines the power consumption
(though you can choose how long you want the lighting to be on if
the phone's not in use). 3) WHil you can take pictures and video
clips, you cannot download them onto your computer... What's the
POINT? These features are the ones that inconvenient users and are
deemed most basic in the other phone makers' equipments. However,
I love the internal and external color LCD screen though. A refr
eshing change. I would rate this as a fashion phone and nothing
very much more. Rating:
