Why pay pay a fortune for a mobile phone when you can get it, brand new, for only £5 - yep, that's right - £5.

Broke after 2 months! - 01 Dec 2007
0 out of 0 found this review helpful.
I bought this phone in July 2007, and by September 2007 every time I attempted to text or make a call the phone switched itself off. I reported this to the place of purchase and the manufacturer, and both seemed unwilling to assist with the repair, despite it still being under warranty (and only being 2 months old!)
I would not recommend this phone to anyone who requires a reliable means of contact
Cracked up within days - 26 Nov 2007

Awkward: Texting is awkward. Menu try getting to Settings no 12 on the menu or Applications no 11 you'll get menu selection 1 the Call Log.
Touch sesitive: not with gloves on
Slow: Autofocus takes seconds as does loading pictures and MP3s.
Fragile: The screen cracked within days of light use.
Battery time can be extended if you turn the backlight down so you can't see anything in daylight

My First Samsung: Wish I Never Bothered! - 30 Sep 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful.
I'm going to start this review by saying that me and this phone didn't start on the right foot. I originally had my heart set on the G600 when I was looking into updating my phone, however since I had to pay £100 for the phone on top of £30 for the new contract, I decided to try the U600 - simply because it was free.
After 3 days it's now back in its box waiting for the Orange return bag to be sent.
I'll try hard not to be too negative, bare in mind that this review is based on a 3 day trial before giving up.
The phone is very slim, it's known as the "slimmest phone on the market" according to Samsung. It's designed nicely with the camera carefully protected when the phones not in use, the button also are hidden when the phone isn't pushed up. Sliding down the phone locks the keypad. However it is quite delicate, it slides up easily enough but due to it's thinness I truly believe that one slip of a finger, fall to the floor and it'll smash into lots of little pieces.
Due to its slim design, holding it whilst texting will take some getting use to and practise. The non-touch sensitive buttons respond well and are decent size since I'm used to the tiny buttons on my previous N70 phone.
The battery life is not what I though it would be; I recharged it fully when I received it on Thursday evening, the battery life dropped by one bar on Saturday - oddly enough just as I activated the Bluetooth for 2 minutes. So a few days shorter than my N70 but enough for those who are used to short batteries lives like the N95.
The main screen has the menu on the left hand side (similar to the N series) but can be altered in what's available (slightly), you can change the shortcuts at the bottom of the screen if you desire. However you cannot attach shortcuts to the circular dial. The main menu is easy to navigate, with 12 categories to browse through, including messages, settings, camera, connectivity and calendar.
This is the first phone I've had that's had touch sensitive buttons, and it'll be my last.
The two answer/end call buttons plus the two on either bottom side of the screen which activate short cuts are all touch sensitive.
Though they seem like nice novelty features at the time, they are not practical and annoying. At the brush of a cheek whilst calling someone ends the conversation abruptly, meaning that I had to hold the bottom half of the phone far away from my face in order to talk to someone without cutting them off.
I work for a television studio which requires me to do multiple things at once whilst talking to producers. On countless times I've had to hold up my phone using my shoulder whilst carrying props and breakfast for presenters back and forth. I can't be worrying about the touch sensitive phones whilst I'm working. If you have a less hectic job, work from home, or a young teenager that is not concerned about treating the phone nicely whilst making a call - the touch sensitive issue shouldn't be a problem.
The end call button also serves as a `cancel' text button too; since it doesn't always register you end up pressing it more than you need to and deleting half of your text. The same goes for the other touch sensitive buttons too, it's doesn't always pick up the touch straight away, if you have a quick temper this phone will drive you up the wall.
The camera is 3.2 mega pixels; though decent in quality it's not as flattering as it should be. The picture quality is only a percentage better than the camera on my N70 (which was a 2 mega pixel). The flash is automatically off and must be turned on to activate it, unlike the previous phones I've had that are more practical and the flash comes one when the lighting is low.
Also there are no available shortcuts to activate it at the touch of the button (though the trail run I had on the G600 in the Orange shop did). You can make a shortcut to your inbox and calendars but not to the camera. You have to plow through the menu to find the camera icon and slide it up for it to activate, in addition the "shutter time" (the time it takes from clicking the button to taking a picture) is VERY long compared to my previous phones. It has auto-focus, which can't be turned off, so it zooms onto an object and takes a picture, the final result will appear after 4 to 12 seconds, depending how far away the object is. Not ideal when taking photos of fast moving objects.
Furthermore, the "key pad" volume and the "camera shutter" noise are counted as the same thing, so if you want the key pad to be mute when dialling you have to sacrifice not hearing the camera going off (annoying if you want to take photos of yourself - which is popular amongst the youth culture).
There are also little nick-picking things that I will bring up and hope that they help you.
You can select, when receiving an incoming call, for it to ring, vibrate, vibrate then ring or ring and vibrate. But you can only have sound when receiving texts - meaning that if I'm walking around or on the train with my ipod blaring I won't be able to tell if I receive a text, so I'll have to check my phone every few minutes to see if anyone has. Not ideal if you're in a busy/noisy environment.
Selecting text mode is slightly longer than it needs to be, instead of pressing a button to choose your input mode, (like on most Nokia phones) you have to call up the menu, select input type and then choose. Maybe not much of a problem to most people but if you can change from small letter to capitals to numbers with a touch of a button why not the input type?
Another strange thing to point out is that the sound settings has its own section on the menu, it's not with the settings...why Samsung? Didn't want only 11 options so thought you'd make the sound department separate?
So my first experience with the Samsung phone range was not a positive one. I've decided to return the phone and go for the G600, hoping that it won't be as disappointing, if I am it'll teach me to sway from the Nokia phones which I rate so highly. If you're concerned about the touch sensitive issue from the start - don't bother to click the "add to basket".
