Samsung D600 Review

The Samsung D600 is an attractive & compact mobile phone designed by Samsung. It has a slide opening mechanism & comes in a black & silver coloured casing which oozes sophistication. The D600 is very similar to the Samsung D500 but the D600 has some updated features on board. The phone is focused towards the top end of the middle market phone users & it really has some very useable & desirable features.

The D600 has a great 2 megapixel camera which comes complete with 4 x digital zoom & LED Flash. The camera offers the user the options to take self shots, multi shots, timed shot & night shots by simply select the appropriate setting. The photos can be displayed on the clear QVGA TFT LCD 262k colour screen (240 x 320 pixels). The D600 comes with a photo caller ID feature which allows the user to select photo, text or video to be assigned to each contact in their phonebook. The user can change the Samsung D600 into a video recorder & player which comes with an integrated video light.

The Bluetooth® connectivity gives the user the freedom to connect wirelessly to any other Bluetooth compatible devise. The D600 is great for the business user as it comes with PicselViewer (Excel, Word, Powerpoint, HTML docs) & PicBridge (Mobile Printing) to make life a little easier.

The D600 has great sound quality with its 3D sound technology which can be heard on the built in MP3, MIDI player. The user can also use the built in handsfree speaker which possesses good voice clarity.

Memory is not a problem with the D600 as it comes with 81 megabytes of built in memory & has the added option of TransFlash™ memory which is an external memory. The user will have plenty of memory space for saving those all important photos, videos, messages, emails & documents.

I have had this phone for almost a year.

This phone is a very good & long lasting durable phone.

At its compact size this phone really does satisfy me with the design & the usability. This is the only phone I would give such high percentage in design & usability.

Love it & never experienced any problem at all, NEVER.

I got this phone, well, I think it was last year, & I think it is great, camera is great & I don't see why people have a problem about it? I must say though, the actual phone is a bit chunky. Texting is easy, basically a good all round phone. The battery is good, but if you are playing songs it doesn't run out of battery, but uses up about a bar (out of 3). The camera is good, but not very good for taking a picture in dim light, even if the flash is on. I was thinking about looking for another phone but I thought, why? This is I good phone.

I would recommend this phone to anyone.

Great phone. Extremely durable. Mines been soaking through, bounced off the ground & more & still worked 100%. No problems. Even had it away with me when I was away with the army on exercise it worked a treat.

The only thing was the battery could have been longer but still an extremely usable phone.

I would definitely recommend. An older phone now but ideal for a multitude of things.

I got this phone for my Christmas (2006) & have loved it since. I wouldn't buy it now as the camera is RUBBISH, the games are weird, & because I can't listen to music on my phone & text at the same time. Overall, It's ok! I am glad I got it in red though.

I got this phone in January last year when I first got it I loved it, I couldn't put it down, I felt proud & confident with it in my pocket over time I began to not like it so much it was very fat compared to other phones & dust gets in the screen easily.

I still have the D600 today but I hate it I rarely use it in public as it is hideous, the d600 has all the basic features but not many special ones considering it is a Samsung.

DO NOT BUY IT! I HAVE MY EYE ON the U600!

I like the look of this phone, mine is pink which is why I chose it!

I don't bother using most of the functions as the volume 4 the music is dire, I can hear other people's music louder than my own when using the earphones!

Signal can be pretty bad so overall not a v reliable model. Looks far better than it actually is.

A fool proof mobile. Easy to use & will not cost that much. The camera is excellent, the quality of a 5MP camera! The 77MB memory is good enough to store about 12 songs & a few pictures & videos. The camera lens is not protected & the MP3 player volume is not loud enough. It is loads better than my Sony Ericsson t610i but this phone does have its down points.

Got this phone as a cheap replacement from my Sony Ericsson k800i which got stolen : (.

Anyway it's a phone the cameras rubbish music on the phone is useless as you can't do anything else with it while you play MP3's, I also have a pair of wireless Sony Bluetooth headphones which worked fine with my k800i but with the Samsung it's so rubbish the quality is very low & the phone lasts about 1.5 hours playing music & that's about it, reception is not as good as Sony Ericsson my Dad's k750i gets full signal & mine gets 2 bars? & where both on Orange.

Oh & the battery life is rubbish you have to charge it up daily when I send about 20 texts & 30 minutes calls, with my Sony I got about 4 to 5 days out of it?

Bottom line, don't get this phone its rubbish don't get a Samsung there nothing compared with Sony Ericsson! If you're a Samsung person just get a Sony you will soon see that everything is so far superior.

I got this phone around November 2005 & I loved it but the camera takes so long to take a picture but I didn't really care because it was the first phone I ever had with a 2 mega pixel camera.

Also I thought the memory was OK but the Samsung headphones are rubbish, they are bulky, big & the sound is not perfect, but I would recommend this phone if you don't want to take that much pictures & you want to play your music out loud.

What an awful phone. It only LOOKS good! The fun options such as custom message tones have been disabled, the photo viewer has no zoom, the vibration takes longer than is available to answer the phone, the screen is brittle & my keypad just cracked it on me, so I can't read my final message on this phone.

I hate this phone. Sorry but I do. It's a rip off. The memory is naff, & I don't want to by no SD card. It takes hours to get a song onto it, if it has enough memory that is. The sliding isn't sliding at all but more of a ping action that shoots up. The battery life is the worst I have ever known, my battery is gone by one day. It's really fat & ugly & the worst thing of all is that the directional buttons are so loud. THANKFULLY, MY DOG GOT HOLD OF IT & I AM NOW GETTING the Sony Ericsson W800i.

Don't BUY IT, THERES OTHER PHONES OUT THERE WHICH ARE BETTER & CHEAPER.

This phones problems are firstly it's not the easiest phones to use I have had. I like to stick with Samsung's as all the other ones have been brilliant. This phone is good but am looking forward to upgrade to a f700 just after Christmas.

The memory on the phone is pretty bad & would invest in a memory card, however it is difficult to find one for the phone. I like to edit pictures with text but on this phone I sadly can't. It's not a major crisis but after the first week on having this phone it becomes boring.

The quality of the music isn't that good & is not as loud as Nokia's & phones I have had in the past. I do not like the fact that you can't change the SMS ringtone as I have to keep with the set Samsung ones.

In your contact book you can only have a maximum of 1000 people saved to your phone & 230 people saved to the sim card. As I am quite popular I have nearly reached 1000 contacts & hope that the Samsung f700 can save more contact to the phone.

I had the D600. Best phone after my beloved Nokia 7210 on which the screen cracked after some two years of rattling around in my handbag. Never thought I'd find another phone to match. Needless to say the D600 was the business. My first camera phone, its steady enough phone to hold & take fuzz free photos, video. Heaven! Unfortunately vanish out of shops.

I have had the D600 (red) for almost a year now & I haven't had a single problem with it! The only thing I am a bit miffed about is that the memory isn't as good as it could be. I can only get about 15 to 20 songs on it & don't want to have to invest in a memory card. I am looking to upgrade soon because I just want a change. Overall though it is the best phone I've had & I love it! I would recommend to all =).

This is a very good phone & it won't let you down. What is really annoying about these reviews is that most people say the design gets ugly after a while! OK, you're buying a phone! Not a fashion accessory. Not the latest model. I'll tell you what phones are not good. Well, flip phones, great for girls, but they are rubbish! Most don't even have blue tooth or MP3 & also those simple phones, like the Nokia ones, how bad?

Don't even have camera or the simplest FM Radio! You buy it, because you need to contact people while travelling! Message in your brains? Good! Sorry for that little thing readers know it's not your fault above all things.

OK. I'd say the features are great! The camera is 2.0 Megapixel & you can do effects, frame the pictures with goofy faces, backgrounds & even cute little bunnies, which is fun to do. You can create different effects, as I said, & there are nine to choose from. Sepia, gray, antique, you name it, it's all in a simple little sleek phone.

Hey I really can't decide between the Samsung G600 & the Nokia 6500 Classic. Nokia has 3G, voice activated dialling & infra-red but I don't use these.

Samsung has the 5MP camera & FM radio which I do use as well as all the other features of the Nokia. The battery life concerns have me worried as many people are complaining about I. Should I go with the Samsung?

Also I had a Samsung D600 but it died on me after a year of having it, no idea what was wrong with it. It wouldn't turn on, any ideas?

My Daughter has upgraded so I have acquired this one & have to say it is far & above my original phone. Very clear display, easy to access menu's, so easy to use, bit of a pain not having voice recognition though as I am used to that feature which completes the hands-free approach totally.

Would recommend it to anyone, well if it were still available but if its replacement is as good then I would say go for it. One minor gripe is in the placement of the volume key, it gets in the way & can be depressed to easily, that said it is only a minor irritant.

This phone is really dated now, it looks similar the c300. If you want a good Samsung phone with MP3 & expandable memory, don't get this one, I recommend the j600. The d600 is one of those phones that are trendy for a year, & that year has came & gone. If you want a phone solely for ringing people up, & it won't be an accessory, this is a decent phone for you.

I have used this phone for the past 18 months & it is simply & easily the BEST PHONE I HAVE EVER OWNED. The software is so accessible, well organised & very responsive. The screen is awesome & the camera is decent. The battery is the best mobile battery since Nokia 5110.

I am looking into upgrading to another Samsung now. Possibly the new G800.

I have had the D600 for almost 2 years & have had no problems, even though I dropped it many times. Some people complain that you lose calls when phone slides while taking it out of pocket, simply disable answer/hang-up with slide & instead use green/red buttons. Others complaint with scratches, in two years I only have one scratch & it is only on the side of screen, even though I am not the most careful.

I am now thinking of upgrading to U700 only because I need 3G HSDPA coverage to use with Internet. If it turns out just as good as the D600 I would be most happy.

Brilliant phone. Battery life is good. I get 3-4 days at least. Mine isn't scratched at all & I've had it 15 months. Easy to navigate & quite self explanatory. Only downside: the 2GB memory card I bought is not supported & could not find which one I needed for ages. Now I know it's only 512Mb which is a bit gutting. But then can free up space by putting all photos on PC & love the fact you can hook it up to telly & watch videos & see pictures. I was thinking of getting new phone but haven't found anything to match it.

I've had this phone for 18mnths. I love it. But have had problems sending large picture texts. Even the ones that are built into the phone e.g. the happy Birthday one will not send, which is annoying. I've had the settings changed but still no good. So I've given up trying to send pics. Also the slider closes when I take it out of my bag cutting the caller off. But I can live with all that. The screen has never scratched, its very easy to use, & has never let me down. But after 18mnths need a change only problem is which one to go for. If my next phone is as reliable as this I will be well pleased.

This is a great phone but you will get board of it its memory is a bit low good battery but a cheat has messed ma phone up. I recommend the Sony Ericsson k750i or the w810i I made the wrong decision plus it will get scratched very easily listen to this.

First I will start of by saying very good phone, could have FM radio, the design isn't as nice as the d900 & d900i it's a bit brickish & when I first got it had to take it back to Carphone Warehouse (3 times) but got new one then OK so I have dropped it a few times its not broke but when it's in my pocket it keeps opening don't know if it's something to do with the slide & last week I dropped it & the slide broke along with the VGA cable & this is none fixable but all in all an OK phone pity I broke it but never mind.

I REALLY recommend THIS PHONE! If you look at all of the reviews so far, most of them are fantastic, only some people probably mistreat theirs! Also, I work up a stables & it is dropped in water & onto the floor but it still looks great!

Compared to other designs it's not the prettiest but it is a good size & holds nicely, would be nice if it was same shape but smaller. I have had mine a year now & it hasn't failed me once, & as for the above comments saying it cuts off the caller if you take it out of your pocket, I think your wearing too tight trousers if it's too small to fit or you can change the settings extremely easily so that it only answers or cancels calls by you pressing the button rather than sliding it. The camera quality could be better & if music is on full volume it gets a bit crackly but the volume can turn up very loud (much louder than D900), but otherwise I love it!

I have had the phone for over a year now & think it's brilliant. I have never had any problems with it.

With some phones in the past I have experienced poor sound quality when receiving / making calls, but this one is very clear.

Hi I have had this phone since Christmas 2006 & it has been great I put my old memory card in it so I had a lot of storage for music.

Problems - when I have it in my pocket it always turns on & off when my trousers are tight (I have been caught out by my teacher a lot) it has been quite hard wearing because I does get banged about & dropped & everything else a sporty 14 year youngster does with their phone, great phone looking for an upgrade to be as good to me as this phone has.

Has anyone else had this problem? I couldn't receive texts from a friend. Looked in the 'bar texts' menu & found her number was there. However, I hadn't added it - it had just found its way there by some other means. The phone has not been out of my possession so am pretty sure that no-one else has placed the number in the 'barred' list.

Don't trust any positive reviews written here they are probably from the manufacturer. This phone is terrible. You cannot take it out of your pocket without cutting the caller off. It cost you a fortune as you have to call the caller back all the time. I can't wait to get another Nokia.

Have had this phone for just shy of a year. Really like the phone, easy to use & navigate, never had any problems with it, would recommend it if you are looking for an easy to use phone with good camera for pics & recording.

The slide element of it can be annoying sometimes like when you try to get it out of your pocket (more so with tight jeans pockets! ) but this doesn't cause too many problems, just have to get looser pockets!

There are 3 things with it (but they aren't major things, definitely not worth not getting for) that are: the buttons are quite loud when texting, which annoys my husband! Also (& this answers Laurens? question) you can't have music/tones you have downloaded as a message tone, you can only use the message tones on the phone already. When you go into your tunes you have the option of setting them as a ring tone or even your alarm tone, but not as a message tone & the screen can get quite scratched, but if you look after it this won't be a problem.

But I would recommend the phone definitely, never had a problem with slowness, freezing, locking or anything like that. Great phone.

I have had this phone for 18 months on contract & can't wait to get rid of it. The screen is scratched & it's difficult to see text etc properly. Also it seems you can't sent a picture which is more than 100kb, which is total rubbish as most of my pics that I want to send are over this size. With all my other (Nokia) phones I was able to send no matter how big. Bluetooth isn't all that good when trying to search for a new device even if the other phone is cm's away from you. Roll on next month when I will be getting another Nokia.

I've had D600 for a year now. Great phone. Nice feel, especially the smooth slide, but why does display screen scratch so easily? Another thing, why does it freeze at random & then after that it displays wrong caller from address book, usually last caller before it froze? Is this an isolated case? When this happens, I have to switch it off then on again to normalise it.

An attractive phone, easy to use keypad & good signal in poor areas but lousy battery life nowhere near 300 hrs. I don't use Bluetooth & rarely use the camera or music player, but I still get about 100 hrs standby time (so does my sister with her D600, so this is not a one-off problem). If you want to get the best out of the D600, stay near a charger.

I want to buy one of these phones, but was just wondering if you can have MP3 ringtones set as the SMS alert tone too? Some people are saying yes & some are saying no. Any input from someone who owns one would be great.

Also, this is probably incredibly dumb, you know the size of 103.2mm long, is that obviously when it's fully open, otherwise it would be huge.

Not good people who like music on their phones as it only plays songs in MP3 format, you can't minimize the MP3 player & battery finishes easily if you use the MP3 too much. It also scratches too easily. It has 5 scratches & I've only dropped it once.

I recommend this phone for everyone as it is easy to use.

Excellent phone. Top notch for the money. I had the phone for over a year & I tell you what it's great. I started on Samsungs & I tell you what, I have never looked back. No Nokia can do the trick, & why did I even spend an hour with a Motorola? This phone is great. Memory card can be popped in! A bad thing with this phone would have to be the sound. The sound is very low, it's not as good as the other phones.

Battery is paramount in giving you performance! My phone lasted over 1 week without it having to be charged, & that is what you call power!

The great idea of blocking someone from texting you is a fab idea, with the rubbish texts not hitting you from the same number! Sadly I lost the D600, & am waiting for the D800 which I hope is good! Will post a review on that when I have had a proper look!

P.s. I only wish, you were able to block private numbers from ringing you, or if someone dials 141 in front of your number, it shows the recipients number, of course excluding police or companies.

At best this phone is average. The battery life is poor ( about 1/3 as good as my k750i). The buttons are not the best in the world (cheaply made). Photo's & video will not auto save to the memory card, you have to send them manually which is a pain as you have to clear them to make room for more. This can take a few minutes. For the same sort of money the k750i is by far the better phone.

OK, I'll start by saying this is the best phone that I've ever had. It has every feature that you could want (maybe you'd want a radio though) & is very user friendly. HOWEVER, I've just had to buy a new phone (pales in comparison to this) because the screen doesn't work any more. That's right, it's just black- & I still get texts from people, & can't see who it is or read it! This only happened last week, & I've been traveling in Australia & Thailand for a year so the heat probably fried it. I think it's actually worth fixing & I'll take my new one back- an IMMENSE phone this is with a massive memory.

This phone is compact & has some good qualities. However after using a Nokia N70 prior to this, it is irritating to find that my contacts can't be similarly sent from the phone to the sim, which is essential when changing phones. It will however copy from sim to phone. I found it useful with my Nokia to have check boxes to select whatever I wanted to move in my contacts. I can't understand why Samsung don't provide this user friendly facility. I have also found that the software that I got with the phone does not allow the phone to connect via USB to my computer. I have tried re-installing etc but nothing works. I have read that this facility does not work with all Samsung phones, but why put the software in the box if it is not going to work? I can access my expanded memory card but no other facilities, which is very frustrating. The instruction book also says that selecting options in phonebook will give a drop down of edit, copy to sim, phone or other. This does not happen.

I had not dropped it or anything if that is what you're thinking. Anyway I think that this is a good phone, nice design but at the end of the day it's rubbish! Waste of Money!

It is really easy to use as the processes are really simple. At first I thought it looked nice but now with other similar styled phones in the market it is proving to be not so nice. I find it really hard to put music onto the phone & the sound quality is rubbish. There are loads of scratches on the screen just from having it in my pocket.

the battery life is shocking, on a full charge the light for the camera doesn't have to be on long for the battery low warning to come on. I wouldn't be surprised if I have to get another battery if I don't get a new phone.
