  • yes

  • I solve the problem, i upgrade it to 6.1 and now works great

  • I have problem with my t600. I charge full my battery and i can watch TV , make calls and everything with no problem, but when battery reach 50 percent phone start to shut down by it self in the middle of talking or watching tv. Can somebody help

  • i used this phone quite while a go, there no issue with this phone, for that price its really worth it , i mean it

  • Ian, can you please suggest me the seller you used?

  • Here is something VERY interesting regarding the White screen issue. I have had this "fault" with my T600 from new and read about software updates sorting it, but have chosen not to attempt updating software, up to now. However, i damaged the digitiser, and ordered a new LCD and Digitiser from a Chinese seller on Ebay. It arrived within 6 days, took 1/2 hour to fit and best of all, THE WHITE SCREEN ISSUE IS NOW CURED!!!. Nice one. Ian

  • the worst battery life phone. lesss than a day. i have it and is a mess. i give you 50 gbp with free shipping to cyprus and i want the black color

  • got the T600 a couple of days ago, amazing phone. vga resolution on a 2.6 inch dispaly is fantastic. the TV is great, watched chel play liv the other day. picture quality was great. wifi works like a charm. diff ways of txt input available, all of them are very fast. still gettin used to rest of the features. only downside i see is 64mb ram which is jus barely sufficient. and the battery life aint the best either, practically charge it everyday.

  • Hi ,I am new with t600. I have phone with Italian official 6.0 rom. I upgrade it to GSmart-t600-I-v3.50-MyBestPDA rom because i need to change to English language. Now I don't have any tv applications or anything for tv. I also install t600-orig-SD-driver but nothing. Please help. I just need this phone on English with tv, nothing more... Thanks

  • Hi Friends As I am planning to purchase a buisness phone please help me Ashok

  • Hallo friends, I have a t600 here in Switzerland and I need the GSmart DAB player, We have many DAB radios to listen... Anybody here can help me and upload it? Thanks! Marco

  • this gigabyte g-smart t600, have configuration n all network?

  • Thats initially what i was saying to the person earlier..Reception at terminal 5 maybe strong but where i am in uk we struggle as yet to get reception with a new rooftop aerial etc so down in the street their would be no chance of getting a picture on g600..i was one who bought the lobster 700tv and when it worked it was ok but continually updating licence and getting reception was maddening to say the least.. One good thing to say to that person earlier and its in his favour is if dvb-t works in good reception and by 2012 the freeview reception is brilliant in 98% of country the uk will not have to build a seperate dvb-h system,,but,,the freeview is directional so you would have to point your mobile at the transmitter and also at street level i cannot see it working altho i would still not rule it out.. With xperia the only tele is via 3g and thats dodgy to say the least..I am definatly for mobile tv 100% and always have been so roll on 2012 for our olympics in london..When and if tv comes fully to the mobile will we see whats happening at moment with lots cut out due to copyrights etc,,,who knows but tv on the xperia would look good with that diplay but by 2012 we do not know what handsets will be out???????

  • there's no official English rom, but there're already unoffial WM6.1 roms available:

  • still no sign of it in uk

  • So have I but it depends what version

  • I have an english rom for this phone

  • its out in germany in few weeks and coming to uk in late june but it quite expensive,,aparently play.com has pre-order for �599

  • just the thing i want and 3g just sucks your battery flat if you can get it

  • coooooooollllllll

  • the problem with gigabyte is that they are taking too long for launching a devise, so they loose market. the t600 was pressented one year ago and still not launch for europe. so i think nokia will be surpraising us with better models with tv in a few months adn then the t600 will become old, as it is getting old already

  • no english version yet,check on their web site, there�s only chinesse and rusian version,english version maybe in 2 months but that�s too late, new things better ones will be showed in the 3gsmcongress.

  • Hello. Is there ENGLISH version of menu on this phone , because people use this phone in England and only I can buy is taiwan version of this phone

  • Wow, it seems evrybodys T600 has some kind of problem. Mine included. the problem I have is when it went into standby mode, sometimes it cannot be waken. I have also notice the white screen problem. Wifi is yet another problem, if the phone freeze while the wifi mode is on, after you take the battery out and turn the phone on again, the wifi will forever shown as on but there is no network detected. It is like somhow the wifi have been disabled. very strange. This phone is such a crap.

  • DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM GIGABYTE. Just got my t600 back. At first the screen did not shows anything after standby, so I send it back for repare. and now after the service been done, the touch screen wont respond to touch at all. There is no quality control at all at Gigabyte appearantly. They dont even bother to check if the device works ok before send it back to me.

  • No, Mik. the problem you descripe is not only happen to you. Mine has the smae problem- what I call the white screen symdrom upon wakenning from standby mode. Also the weak signals, low valume. I have sent mine back to Taiwan to repair, it's said there is a fault in the mother board. You should do the same, so they will know the problem is not a isolated case. And finally to clearfy, the DVB-T and DAB does work in the UK. At least in some parts of London, such as in Pushy park. 3 weeks ago my car broke down in the park while I was waittinf for aa to come, I turn the dvb-t on and to my surprise I finally got the signle and pick up about 20 something channels most of which are dab tho. One last thing, at the moment the device is only come with chinese rom, I ask the customer service to change mine t600 to english rom while they fix it. and the answer I got is, the english rom is still in testing stage and wont be available till november.

  • First of all, the phone itself looks very good and the display is just awsome!! but there are few problems that pissed me off. Sometimes when other party call you, the connection goes through, but my T600 just doesnt respond or without any incoming call identifications. It works fine after restarting. This is not frequent, but it happens every couple of days. I guess i'm the only one who has this problem. Second, the battery life is a bit concerning, but since Canada has no DVB the battery is actually just fine for me. And at last the phone connections to phone network seems to be quite weak when compared to my previous phone. Overall, this is a very nice looking phone but the price is a bit too high.

  • I think the major problem of all Gigabyte models is battery life. 3h expected and probably less than one day if you are working with it. Other problem is that company has no experience in phones (like Nokia) and 1-2 years they will make some test on our money. The phone will have different small bug (wifi, battery life, audio quality,so) Finaly I love Gigabyte, I want to test some phones but in Europe is no official reseller.

  • no more I-mate after this ...

  • does it come with the sofware in inglish, the one you bought in tapei

  • Got mine in Taipei 3 weeks ago while on holiday. The phone itself is "gorgeous" and the VGA screen is out of this world. The DVB-T works brilliantty in most part of Taiwan and the quality of picture is just amazing. Having said that, the DVB-T is not working in Indonisia or UK. I cannot find any channel while in Bali and now back in London- still no luck. There is no DAB software buildin, so even t600 supports DAB, it is no use at all. It costs me $24000 NT, which is roughly �350. It is ok as a windows mobile but without the mobile tv reception in the UK, I don't think it is worth buying for the UK consumers. One last thing, the VGA screen seems to drain battery out like there is no tomorrow. It's good thing I bought 2 spair batteries. So, my advise is- before buy it, make sure the DVB-T works in your area!!

  • what ticks me off with gigabye is there lack of hmm, edge on there phones... there phones should all have at least edge gprs? That�s like slow, and if I would have known better I would have looked for a phone that had edge... come on thats so pathetic... if i ever get another pocketPC it will be one that is fully loaded, and no compromises... the only thing that will compromise is probably my wallet lol... still waiting what in the world Tmobile will do with 3G

  • It is already avaliable in Taiwan with chinese language only, I hope it will be launched in europe soon.

  • The MAIN + is , that it got gorgeous screen! You can watch whole web page on the screen whith readable text! Although you'll need magnifying lens ; ))

  • wat iz T-DMB radio?iz dis mob available in UK?

  • Piece of beauty!! Yes, it's main minus is the lacks of 3G, but who the f*ck uses 3G frequently?! Mainly wi-fi and in some cases GPRS, that provides enough speed for normal internet browsing(dont forget it will be normal for browsing without opening imgaes option), so GPRS or HSDPA, the difference is some seconds in the speed, so?! So cause of these 1-2seconds u dont hear about t600? lol! Neverthless this piece of technology won't get far away in the World's market.. I'm sure it will be "quite" hard to find it in Europe.. Maybe impossible..! :( St*pid europe market.. Always provides only the "best of the best" products from the best companies...(Nokia, Se, Samsung, Lg etc etc.)..!! F*ck them! Excellent job Gigabyte! U showed again that your products are NOT worse than more popular companie's products.. Good luck now, and in future!

  • i want to kno if u can use this phone with t mobile with internet ????

  • Transperent one :)))))

  • wut type of lens does this phone use for its camera?

  • i-pod?

  • Sure it can play avi,mpeg4 and specially wmv! ;) Phone running on windows

  • no aiv wmv mp4

  • This phone got the best specs of all others on this site!!! And having VGA screen is just brilliant! Poor screen on N95 its the thing which put me off

  • WOOOW! nice phone, no, nice is not enough, but i could not say the best there is, coz i know gigabyte would make sure this is not the last phone that would ROCK the world! my only comment is that why only one color and design? i always prefer dark-colored phones, hope they'll have a black t600..

  • I forgot to mantion the VGA screen! y, it's not 3 and above inches, but when it's vga no matters ~0.2" less dimantion! The decision to make the stylus as an antena is jjsut brilliant.. Gigabyte shows it's power more and more.. despite the non-world-wide selling because of complex problems and competition not wanting it around it's models..

  • And now who is the best?! 3G?! Do you use 3G?!? Do you recieve much much much bigger speeds with the more expensive 3G data transfer?! The difference is not so big! GPRS is quite enough for web browsing with this sweety.. When you have both analog and digital TV recipiant on board+worldwide radio reception, in this classy desighn, colors etc+wm6 pro+wi-fi and so on.. What do you need more? Video call trough 3G?! How many of all of you use video call?! Almost no one! So.. for people not searching exactly 3g pda, this is just the best of the rest! No doubt!

  • dear gigabyte, can i know about tv & radio for g-smart t600?can dvb-h/t tv broadcast receiver full function in malaysia and all country.i mean can i watch all tv channel and record? is t-dmb radio same with fm radio.can it be tune in every country.when g-smart t600 will be release in the market?where can i buy in malaysia? thank you very much

  • Keep it up GigaByte Make it , Make it , But Dont SELL IT Just like you did with i120 "Everyone is Still Searching it(i120) & NO-ONE is GETTING IT" your products are famous as Vapourwares in my country(india),i dont think their is a single importer of gigabyte mobiles in india i told you last time too(in i120 user opinions) about marketing in INDIA and all other users requested you to promote your products in their respective countries too, But you Dissatisfied All of your to-be clients Please dont take it in wrong sense "Yor Techonology reaches to our Hearts" "But it NEVER reaches to our HANDS"

  • No 3G! what we're gonna do with this device? 3g is becoming standard so this device will not have a chance in the market.

  • omg this is a pure amzing phone. vga screen, 624 mhz processor. tv.
