  • If you are browsing for hours then this is the case. The extended battery is twice the thick and heavy of the standard battery and comes with a back panel that extends up to the sides of the phone's camera and so the phone appears thicker. This battery is hard core and have a great life but also is thick.

  • it's not a great phone, it's really GREAT! Be careful with the charging port though, don't use headphones often as it uses the same port for all charging & other plug-ins.

  • I heard on the internet that it is best not to use the standard battery.Was this information correct?If so how do I know what battery is the extended battery?

  • I have just brought this phone.Did I buy a great phone?

  • You can only use the secondary cam for video calling purposes whenever 3G icon appears in the top panel of your phone. You cannot use this cam for other purposes.

  • hi every1 my i600's camera is not working. when i press the button it went in loading..... plz help me at [email protected]

  • Although both charger and USB cable do use the same connector, i believe there is some sort of indicator pin that differentiates them. Mine dont charge anymore using the charger, but when i use the dsu-8(USB cable) it clearly shows its charging although it takes longer. I also opted to buy a spare batt and charge them interchangeably using a universal (desktop) charger. In case you may want to know, i got tons of useful apps and games. the ebook reader (& maker/converter for PC)is a cool one for reading pleasure, much more the mobile Office suite.

  • Robert, my i600 won't charge anymore and i'm pretty sure the charging port is at fault as i've tried using several different chargers. on your suggested solution, ho do i go about charging the phone via usb? is there some sort of adaptor to convert the charging jack into a usb/mini usb port? if the charging port is already faulty, how is it able to recognise usb then?

  • This is a common problem with this phone. Its charging port wears down easily. My problem too. 2 solutions: Charge using the usb via PC or charge the batt using a universal charger (though you have to turn off the phone & take out the batt for charging)

  • hi i want to buy i600,can i video chat with this mobile using yahoo or any thing

  • how do you get youtube videos to work on the phone?

  • Null123 i don't agree with you. Nokia is not the best. Yes ther are some nokia phone that really last, like the 3310, but according to my experience, thats about it. I've had a sony ericson for over 4 years and it never gave me any problems whatsoever. Unfortunatly it got stolen, so then i got me a nokia5610. It didn't even last 6 months and it started to fall apart. Now i have a samsung F250... I'll see how long this one will last and i'll let yall know...

  • how can i get loud volumes when i am playing music? why i can't move items from my document to storage card and only 223mb used?

  • Lashan my best opinion is that you stick with nokia phones. I have used phones from all type of cariers such as HTC, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and lg, and by far the best quality phones that i have used would have to be Nokia. And if you are looking for a phone like The i600 take a look at nokia e63, which is a smart phone like the i600. Though i can not say anything about the i600 because i have not used this particular phone.

  • cant sync my i600 to media player v10. does anyone know how? help pls! tnx

  • i'm using I 600 for bout 1 year on January 09, i think this smart phone is really smart in daily used with speciality on ultra messaging which really fast, worth it with the price it happened best buy for the features i get. the only problem is : -suddenly hang (can not answered incoming call) perhaps this caused by the 5th windows mobile, which my phoned had upgrade to 6th windows but still not fully over all this is the best buy smart phone... regards

  • Agree. If you are not affraid of its size, and you need qwerty keyboard - it is great smartphone. Only one little thing I found is that there is no program that could show battery use in every 1%.

  • yes it's worth the money, good mobile, features, reliable, long lasting battery, good wifi connection, great display, light, loud volume etc..etc..

  • Hi i currently live in the Philippines...i am a highschool student...i really love to buy samsung i600 and i want to spend money on something real... is it really good? is it worth it to buy this phone? is the prize just right? the things i like about cellphones are the following: texting, calling, 3G, Camera, qwerty keypad, internet connection, USB connection, music, External memory, long lasting battery, functions really well, the prize is right and etc do you think i should really buy this Phone?

  • can u make a video call using i600 ?

  • Does anyone knows, how to save a picture from web? I can't save any picture from Internet explorer. Thanks

  • does it support 4G memory card?

  • wifi is fine. web experience is fine too. there isnt a ram problem even in youtube. wifi is better than n95.

  • I780 is better I sold my i600 after 4 month to get rid of it.

  • I've i600 too & not all that slugish. it's design is ergonomic too. i wonder that you've got the faulty unit or maybe you're from those nokia or SE fans..

  • This was my first smart phone, and I'm disappointed with the experience. The i600 is sluggish, requires frequent rebooting, and has bad ergonomics. I haven't been able to get the e-mail working or don't find many of the other applications useful. The camera takes low-quality pictures. About the only advantage I've gotten from the phone is that I can use Skype on it. I even have to lock the phone before putting it in my pocket, because the pressure from my pocket with depress the buttons. I've unwittingly dialed numbers on my contact list! My advice is: Don't buy this phone!

  • i have always been a nokia user!but always had an eye for this set!do u guys think i should buy this(i have n79 currently)? and is ther anyway i can upgrade it to wm6? and what are the main disadvantages and adavantages of wm6 over symbian s60 9.3? thanx for answering! if u guys have any question about n79 or symbian s60 9.3 u can ask me!

  • I need some help.. Im from the Philippines. Whenever i send a text message, an alert pops up stating that "the message cannot be sent to one or more recipents... to verify the signal, press retry..." the signal works fine... i dunno why it won't send. i have credits and is on globe unlimited texting. i inserted my sim to another fone to check, and it works just fine... i might have changed a setting unknowingly... soo.. if any of you could help, please do... [email protected]

  • how do i move my messages/sms (inbox, draft etc) from i600 to i780. i tried connected the i600 to laptop using the data cable -but cannot see a folder containing all my messages.......;pls advice

  • i heard that i600 is better than touchscreen-oriented i780? is that true, mate?

  • It's a magificent device...wow

  • Play around with it for a while, download the full user manual fom their website. believe me you get used to it after a week. when you can start using the full potential, it becomes all worth it. also do yourself a favour, read the full write up on this website. you will learn alot and start enjoying the experience.

  • i600 does have wifi, when i use it with a friend's hot spot i usually can download 10megs in just under 2 minutes. also depends on the strength of the signal and the speed of that specific server. Battery life: if you on the internet the whole day, expect a much shorter battery life.....

  • just try again, usually second time it works, mine does that when i move from 3g to hsdpa during the page opening. or a lack of credit. or a lack of signal.

  • Front camera is 4 Video Call, so others can see YOU!

  • Included in the phone is a Picsel viewer ....that only allows you to view Microsoft word and excel, as well as photos etc... Microsoft have removed the ability to read / write in office applications with WM 6. There are alternative programs "documents to go" for about �20 or you can buy the microsoft office suite for your phone for about �25. Hope this helps. Matt

  • how do you access the internet when i do it says "the remote party has denied your access" help!

  • hello everyone am from philippines,can you help me i can i use my wifi coz when i used it and the respond is that the remote party has ended this connection,pls help me

  • +The keyboard is just great -The decision to put a number for every two button totally messes up the usage of some 3-rd apps (like AEKmap) +the screen's landscape, which in my oppnion is better than portrait -the compatability with some 3-rd party apps is bad due to landscape screen, however most of the nice games and application already have a landscape support so i don't complain much +very good call reception and built in handsfree even in noisy environment. -no voice call recording option, even with vito audio notes :( +good camera quality -only 1.3 mpx and no flash -d-pad gets rubbed of due to heavy use - should have put metallic one.It's also weird till you get used to it, but in two weeks you wont notice and it feels much comfortable. -Wifi is just perfect - i use it a lot as it's FREE.Never buy a phone without wi-fi -bluetooth gives me hard times - the phone won't run a file transfer server and receives only beamed files, or using the built-in ftp client. Not accessible from a laptop -Cpu could have been faster... Battery: thin 1 day, Fat- 2 days. 3G is turned off. +Very tough i think, dropped it few times - no problem. +Thin thin thin - that's it.Never get bricks like htc, just too ugly. +good for gaming, texting, e-mail.It's possible to install flash 7 support and even watch youtube.I've also watched streaming tv. -fm radio and GPS could have been useful, but probably battery wouldn't hold a day then. -TV out would have been a good feature... +The scroll wheel is very helpful. -Got software problem - frame network doesn't function well and hard reset doesn't solve the issue. -the defauld card wheel homescreen is stylish but much useless. +Very good preinstalled apps as unit converters, appointments, rss feeds and so. -Could have put more ROM -stock handsfree iz just rubbish- very uncomfortable headphones. Thought of buying a gps receiver but not sure if it would work properly. There are 250 usd standalone receivers with touchscreen on the market after all..

  • Is this phones vibration on the batery or phone's body? It's vibration does not last long.

  • Nice features, good data performance. Worst ever phone I ever had when it comes to making and receiving normal calls-poor signal and voice quality. I initially thought there was something wrong with this phone. 2 other people I have spoken to, reported the same problems. This will be my last Samsung ever.

  • can someone please tell me how to download pictures from a sms message

  • Hi Everyone, i've managed to install/upgrade from Windows Mobile 5 to the Windows Mobile 6 version.It was so simple. Just follow the instructions as the manual that you'll find @ the very same link that you need to download the 3 steps upgrading setup.exe files *NB that you download proper version of your language cause once you begin the installation there's no turning back. And it only operates in the Windows XP OS. And before installation you must first back up all your information. Lastly please make sure that there's no applications that might interrupt the installation. I just love my new WM 6.0 version its different.it gives me this new feeling.... [email protected]

I have dropped it time and time again, and it still works great! I have 4 email accounts on it and they all work great, Messages are almost unlimited, msn messenger works great.

  • Wi-fi works perfectly, writing is really fast on it, i don't use 3g.. camera is quite nice for a 1.3mpx.The lg chocolate chocolate has a 2mpx camera and takes photos more badly than this 1.3mpx. The body is rubberized plastic and u can get scratches very hard on it, very good body, even better than the aluminium body that some phones have.It's a bit big in height, but u get used to it preety fast. And it looks like a true gentelman's business phone.

  • I have mine for a week and i'm very pleased with it.It's overclocked to 252mhz,i'm using a standard battery wich is kinda poor tho(but if u charge it at the computer, charges way more and last more), i'm also using a 4gb hc card from vodafone.Programs work fine on it.It's preety solid, dropped it and it hit the ground kinda hard but no error, nothing(wich is preety weird).I think it's a great phone overall. 9 out of 10.

  • how do i activate the second camera? so i can enable video calling!

  • I have problem with the samsung calendar it's one day behind . must i chance a setting or what? phone is very slow battery is very poor. other wise i think is a great phone. I there a way that one can use the video calling cam in front for video mms as well?

  • Great phone. . . however, poor battery life. That's why i bought an extended battery. Encountered difficulty connecting on internet, can't send mms, unit are looking for set-up not like other phone. Poor on playing music due to low volume, but with earphone it sounds great. with only 1.3MP camera is very good.

  • Was very excited initially but 4 months down the line I am actually trying to sell it. Great features, but poor reception in my area (often my calls fo straight to voicemail but my husband who is on the same network and has a TYTN receives most of his) Phone is quite slow to start up (takes about a minute) Battery life not great Email client and internet "freeze" if you leave the phone on for more than 24 hours (can't access web pages and your mail doesn't come though), so you HAVE to restart it or switch it off every night - Very inconvenient since the alarm only works if the phone is on Surprisingly good camera quality considering it's only 1.3 MP Have trouble syncing with Windows Media Player 10, so just copy my music files onto my memory card Having HUGE problems getting MMS settings - Samsung's handset support in South AFrica leaves alot to be desired Can't view pdfs Picsel viewer is very slow (media player works great)

  • Take the I600 to Icsia (011)6558118 for an official Samsung Windows Mobile 6 Upgrade. Loading all the BullS&t cracked ROMS cause more problems than anything else. Took mine in, And hour or so later it was done. There is no charge provided the phone is ub=nder garantee and that you take it to them yourself. Phones out of garantee carry a charge of R164 for upgrade...

  • Never had such a shitty phone! Extreme slow en keys are too small. Worst of all Bleutooth doesn't cooperate with my tomtom consequently. So the connection is constantly on/off/on/off etc. At the end it drives you crazy in your car while driving. A dangerous combination. So I'm back to Nokia. that works as it should. (my i600 lies dead in the corner)

  • great phone; not so great batery.. for VOIP and SIP accounts check a new sofware AGEphone mobile for WM5 and WM6.. you can really have a conversation.. with FRING i didn't manage to make it work on both sides (the other person didn't hear me)

  • I have nokia E51 and frend is offering me to change phones, he have brand new i600. I like wm6 more than symbian but i600 is bigger phone... Any advice would be fine... PLZ

  • I was using a HTC p4370 until it strated freezing up. When It was at the service they recommended me the i600. Since that time Iam still using it. Seems like will be hard to change it :-)

  • I'm still having trouble trying to install any JVM on the i600. I cannot get any .cab files to install on the handset. Any help/suggestions will be much appreciated. Pierre

  • Hi For all of those wanting to load MXIT or Opera Mini on this phone, now you can. Download this brilliant Java Emulator. Click this link and download CAB file to PC: Then Plug phone in and active sync. Once synced, go to tools and browse smartphone. Select device, and select my documents. Create a new Folder (Named Java) and copy the CAB file into this folder. Now unplug and select the cab file on your phone to install. Once installed, you can download MXIT as well as OPERA MINI and open it using the emulator. No bugs!!! Enjoy!

  • I used this phone for two month already. It syncs with Outlook nicely once you install the Samsung add on for syncing the Notes. I was not able to use internet sharing as there drivers provided didn't work properly on XP I found it impossible to get technical support for this phone. Samsung are always referring to Microsoft and are not offering full support for the drivers and software of the phone. Website isn't offering much under "support" Finally most of the software out are for regular windows mobile phones and there are limited number of software that support this and other qwerty phones.

  • all negative comments...not so promising

  • well firstly for this price of the black jack i expected more.this phone cannot download mxit and currently i am struggling downloading emulators for this phone nor does it come with a proper instruction manual . It also freezes a lot and is relatively new(1 month old).many other applications can also not open up on this phone and it just says "this file cannot be viewed on this device". if anybody can assist me with downloading mxit it will be great. kind regards anonomous

  • This phone is SH1T...! I have had endless problems with it. Lets see now... Where do I start...? 1) I freezes to a point where my clients can not get hold of me. Nor can I make calls. 2) It drops my HSDPA line on a regular basis. 3) The battery life is up to crap...! 4) Everytime time anything goes wrong, I have to take out the battery and start it up again... This takes time people...! A long time. 5) I have had endless problems with people not being able to hear me. 6) Reception is a problem as well. 7) The Pixel Viewer software leaves allot to be desired as well. 8) To get the video call feature to work is something I am still trying to figure out... 9) One thing I must say though, the phone is feature rich, the idea was good but ended up as a terrible investment option. I am hoping a firmware upgrade id the answer as most of the problems are software related. But for now... I would not advise this as a good idea. Look at something else...!

  • How i Can play Real format on i600( .RM ) ?

  • Has anyone found out how to use the front camera for photo taking yet??? Also how do you record phone conversations? Thank you!

  • To geekachu Firstly the Bluetooth. First switch on your bluetooth. Thereafter open the selected file. Press Menu on the right, scroll down to send, press OK, then scroll to bluetooth and press OK. The phone will search for bluetooth devices. Once found, scroll to the file, press OK and beaming will start. Then wait till it says Done... only exit once done. Secondly, closing of internet. Hold in the "Home" key until task manager is displayed. Here you can close the internet application, identical to that of a PC. Hope this helps. Regards Lionel

  • A few questions that I have about the i600, i've had one for just under a month now and it's starting to frustrate me.. I love most features about the phone... BUT How do you send files via bluetooth? I can receive but not send. Also when connected to the internet using WAP, how do you disconnect it without having to turn the phone off? I'm not great when it comes to phones, but I need to be able to use the internet on my mobile a lot for work. HELP! Thanks

  • @kiddyz If I recall right, Windows powered phones do have this bluetooth problem. try visiting modaco.com forums for a solution.

  • Please, I have no comment, but I want to know how to get this type of cellphone Sumsung i600. Please advice me on the way forward. Provide your Bank details and so forth.

  • It's a great smartphone.it has every application useful for any user.

  • Dont understand how to work this phone but like it. Anyone know how to work this phone? Seems u need to go to the website to understand this phone.

  • Guys pls take note. If u set an alarm in the i600, & if u OFF the fone, u won't b able 2 hear the alarm. U gotta turn ON the fone. This is 1 of the many reasons y i sold off my i600 after 1 month.

  • In addition, the user interface of samsung i600 is not as straight-4ward as nokia. Sold my i600 & bought a nokia 6500s instead.

  • i600 plus & minus: PLUS: The slimmest, lightest & most compact smartphone currently in market. MINUS: Cannot record tele-conversation. Cannot send chinese character SMS. No voice call. Battery life sux; gotta charge everyday. Conclusion: If u need 2 checl/ send/ receive email on the go, i600 will b very useful for u. If not, juz get a 'normal' mobile fone will do. I juz sold my 1 month old i600 * am now using nokia 6500s.

  • Yes, the i600 can surf internet + send/receive email thru WiFi or GPRS. To check if u r on wifi or gprs, check the logo that appear on the top of ur screen once u r connected. If is wifi, it'll show a wifi logo (looks a bit like a lighthouse). If is GPRS, it'll show a capital G. GPRS charges r more xpensive.

  • i wanna buy this phone, can i ask something can i use the internet on this phone?

  • Hey guys, I have a question: i am using wifi all the time, so for sync i want to use the wifi connection. but when i for example click on "send & receive" in my gmail account, the phone gives me a message that you are currently roaming and additional charges may apply. how can i use wifi only, not anything else like GPRS or edge? i am with FIDO in canada. also why does the phone shows that i am connected to another GPRS (roaming)? any help would be appreciated.

  • plz plz plz i need help to get wap back on my samsung i600!!!!! i went on it once and couldnt go on wap again... whats up with that? plz someone help!! ps: i have tried downloading settings from my network provider it doesnt seem to work, i have tried a bunch of things.

  • Hi, I need Some Big HELP I Bought My Device two days ago after along search for a good affoardable windows mobile phone, it's an efficiant tool to keep it on the go. Im trying to update it to WM6; but the thing that my phone has an English/ Arabic Keyboard, so if i updated my phone to WM6 the Arabic Keyboard will function well? Does the "i600" WM6 Update includes the Office Elements like the normal Standard WM6? All the Buttons will have the same functionality after update? The wireless Manager will be in the same place? The Phone will Support Windows Update? Thanks

  • I have the phone for a few months now, and only one thing is bothering me. When I speak to someone on the phone, a lot of the time the sound quality is not good and I am having trouble hearing them. Do other people have the same problem, or is it either me or my ears? Thanks for replying

  • I've gotten this fone 4 1 month, still regretting it. If u want a smartphone which is compact in design, light, slim, then the i600 is 4 u. But, dun xpect it 2 perform like a 'smartphone'. It is, IMHO, a not so 'smartphone'.

  • I want to have a replacement phone, this phone does not live up to my expectation. sheesh. Do not get it phone i tell ya, it looks good but thats all it is...

  • Gautam> "bulilt-in handfree" is just good old feature, when during conversation, the loudspekaer is being used, and sensitivity of microphone is being rised, so phone can be in 1-2 metres away from you and can stell talk. Quite useful in a car, or when someone calls and asks to tell number you have only in your phone, or you just need your hands free.

  • I got i607 from AT&T a week ago. First impression - battery life sucks. If I use for e-mail/web access doesn't even last a day. Just had to shut it down at 3 PM because of warning message. It was showing as fully charged in a morning. If I don't use Internet it barely lasted for 2 days. Is this a problem with my phone/battery? Any comments?

  • I heard tat Skype on i600 WM6 is possible. I've not tried yet.

  • Thanks for the feedback on skype. I just upgraded WM5 to WM6. Not much diffrence i guess. Do we to install antivirus for protection when using wifi, checking email and so on? If yes, wish website i can download antivirus that compatible to WM6? Please advice. Thanks guy.

  • ei guys, thanks so much for the responses. i finally got my phone and it is working just fine. even listen alot of mp3. haven't tried playing videos yet though. if i find any good sites to share will post them here.. cheers!

  • Please help me decide? I need to upgrade now and Im so confused. There r so many phones out there. Im considering the i600 but was putt off by the comments on battery life. How many people are using the phone for the office applications? I do use e-mail a lot, and was wondering if this phone would be easy using the e-mail? Should I rather opt for SE K810i or Nokia 6234? (Same cost)

  • Hi there, the battery is fine. If you listen to too much MP3 or play clips, constantly: Of course, this will consume all the battery energy; just like a normal MP3 player or ipod, or others. This, you have to keep in mind. I just charge up about every 2-3 days, and once in the weekend by putting it off, and let battery charge till charge light indicates fully charged.

  • Yes. I too have the battery problem. Seems like Samsung is aware hence the thin/ thick battery options which is still not useful on a heavy daily usage. Otherwise, I like the phone and other features.

  • i also hav the same problem wit the battery, it seems the battery isnt so strong to last for a long while;nt even a day.

  • Thanks for the feedback on skype. How can i upgrade my Wm5 to Wm6? Is there any link or can someone help on this? Everytime i sync my moble there will be lots of unwanted file save to my mobile. How can i delete all these unwanted file collectly without deleting files that is needed or is there any way i can prevent these unwanted file save to my mobile during sync action? Please advice. I like this phone compare with most of the smartphone available in the market. Thanks. Eric

  • Yes, the i600's battery sux big time. The slightly thicker extended battery is better.

  • skype thru voice is not possible, but "texting" is okay on wm5, nv try on wm6 yet.

  • this phone launched in asia! no chinese input!! ridiculous!!! even after free update to wm6!!!!

  • i just get my phone. can i install skype in WM5 version into mu i600? thanks.

  • does this phone support gps?anyone tried before, what is the software use?

  • hi there, i got my i600 about 5,5 months ago. like it very much. good user functions. problem is: battery life. it gives me sometimes less than a day on heavy use on either thin or thick battery. i would like to know if anyone else has had this problem: battery bar would show say 3 bars in " idle mode". as soon as u want to do something, it just switches off & u HAVE to charge it again before use! anyone, please advise. tks

  • Ahmed, Decon The secondary cam is activated automaticly when you make a videocall ;-) K

  • I have an i607 and need to add Chinese characters to the phone, both to view and to send. Are there any products out there to help me do this? Does anyone know if the software for the i608 from HK comptible with the i607. I really need an OS with this function built in without buying a new phone. Thank you

  • Is it possible to get the software document to go for free.I need your advice

  • Ahmed, Thanks again ;)

  • Nokia6288, I don't know if there is such thing for chinese, but when i bought mine, it has no Arabic input.. i had to go the Samsung center and install an arabic support application. For the conversation recording, there is a software available for that i guess.. but i can't remember the name :-( you can just check this website, there are a lot of good free software here:

  • angelfire04, if you are talking about battery lasting for over 3 days, forget it.. the maximum you would get could be 1.5 ~ 2 days with normal use.

  • the battery is fine, i use my phone often. talk a lot and use a lot of wi-fi. but no themes.

  • no java, no extra themes, only these in the phone.

  • Juz 2 add. The i600 package c/w TWO batteries. 1 is a standard battery, the other is a slightly thicker extended battery.

  • 1. Over here in Singapore 2 upgrade 2 WM6 is free @ the samsung customer service centre. My i600 c/w pre-installed WM6. 2. For freeware flash-light software, pls go 2 www.modaco.com 3. For documents to go software, pls go 2 www.dataviz.com This software is free for 30 days only, after which gotta pay 4 it. Yes, it can edit & create Word, Excel, PowerPoint files in WM5 & WM6. 4. The speaker of the i600 is unfortunately not loud compared 2 majority of mobile fones. 5. Organiser, Calendar, Alarm features r quite good. 6. Can't comment on battery life as im not a heavy user. 7. Pls take note i600 doesn't hv chinese language, no chinese text SMS input (but can receive chinese text SMS), no voice recording of tele-conversation (but can record voice as notes).

  • hi, i have a few questions to ask.. in addition to all the features and benefits i may get from this phone based on the previous comments and specs posted on this site. have any of you guys experienced having problems with battery life with frequent use of the phone? how long does the battery last for heavy use of the phone? and i am very much into display and mobile themes.. does this phone have themes downloadable like any other pocket PC's and mobiles? your answers will be of great help.. i have been saving just to get myself one of these and if battery life and themes doesn't pose any disappointment to the features that is already on the phone. i guess, the time and money used will be worth it. cheers!!!

  • Kai's flashlight cost US$3.00 and you can get it from Follow the link "Tools" then "Flashlight" on the left side of the page.

  • Hi guys.......plz tell me is i600 speakers sound luder than i300 or Nokia 5700...plz tell me.....???tnx

  • hey guys can anyone tell me how to upgrade the OS to WM5 to WM6? and please tell me where can i download software that can edit word and excel files

  • Juz got the i600. Very disappointed. No chinese language. No chinese text SMS input. No voice recorder for tele-conversation. No FM radio. Battery cover damn difficult 2 open.

  • Ahmed, Thank u very much!

  • All, this "Multi FlashLight" application works like charm with me: and it's totally free. one more thing.. when i bought this phone, i got a full version of 'Documents To Go' within the package. I can totally edit Word and Excel documents.

  • I cannot install java application..i600 cannot play Java?

  • Appreciate any wise inputs on this.. I am currently having a basic cell and a PDA and have plans to intergrate this to 1 hardware. I use the "notes" fuction and calendaring extensively on my pda. I have heard reviews that we are not able to edit Word document on the cell? Are we able to edit with Windows Mobile 6.0 installed? Can we create Word document and edit them on the Samsung i600? Thanks and really appreciate any advice.

  • Where can i get Kai's Flash Light

  • almost looks like a high school scientific calculator. lol.

  • Hi Green user, Where did u get the software 'Kai's Flash Lite'? Is it freeware or how much does it cost? And, do u know is there any memory limit on the voice recording function? I intend 2 get the i600 soon. Many thanks.

  • Ahmed, Thanks 4 the reply.

  • I have figured out a lot about this phone. Comments in this forums and are unquantifiable help. Find below my amateur assessment of the phone; [The VERY GOOD] LOOK: Stylish, attractive yet simple. FEEL: Lightweight, sleek, velvet-like. LAYOUT: good button spread, decentralized navigation. FUNCTIONS: Robust phonebook, high speed wifi, good organizer, Nice Camera. BATTERY: Much above average. OTHERS: call clarity, concealed connecting ports, GOOD security level, fast synchronization. good video quality and audio quality via earphone, child-lock battery cover (I guess that is what it is). [The not good] Ringer volume is moderate. Vibrate and ring helps. Using Activesync 4.5 for the phone is problematic. It may be activesync 4.5 issue. Uninstall and install the activesync4.5 every time you want to use it works. Also ensure firewall isn�t running. The screen could have been bigger. Why write SAMSUNG in an area that could have been used for screen. Slow boot, it makes me panic. Be patient it will come on. Accessing task manager every time to stop running programs is not fun. A simple prompt like I see in office �Do you want to save or minimize� would have been best. Samsung was not generous enough to put an external memory card. Internet sharing is impossible with wifi. Samsung assumed all computers have wifi. The VoiceAssist has never one day gotten my request correctly. Unique USB port makes it hard to share accessory. No flashlight. A software Kai's Flash Light solve that. [Bottom-line] Feature packed. To be unique and still stay in touch with official and unofficial activities, get this.

  • Decon, shouldn't it be activated automatically when you make video calls?? I never tried that.. i'm just guessing.. but i think you can't enable it as a photo camera. Also, not sure of that.. if anyone knows anything, please let both of us know ;-)

  • how do you activate the secondary camera

  • how do activate the secondary camera and how do exit the internet exp

  • sorry, the sketch got completely messed up!! :-(

  • Green user, Do you mean the power button? It's located on top side. you can only see it when you look from up. this is a simple sketch.. | v ________________ | ---- o | | ______________ | || || || ||

  • Sori green user,I dont have this model phone. Hope someone can help u.

  • Love this phone so far. A little sluggish once in a while, but I do things very fast on computers so most people should be fine. Wifi works great. It can be set to turn off when not in use for a while (you determine how long) and come right back on when you continue browsing. Just got this for now until i780 comes out. I need the WM6 Pro. Don't know what others are talking about but screen is plenty big for normal use. Get a personal video player or laptop if you want to watch movies. This is for work. Side wheels makes many things easier. Buttons are laid out well. For numbers you don't have to push the number exactly, you just have to push any button within the white square which includes two buttons. For example, #1 and R are two separate buttons within the square, but either one (or both) can be pressed for #1 to show up on the screen. So it's fat finger friendly. Overall great phone to help get work done.

  • ActiveSync, I was opening video files directly and trying to use Windows media player so it was not working. There is a Program called TCPMP in the phone that opens video file just fine. Where is the reset button located. Is it the one under settings or there is a hidden button on the phone like wireless routers?

  • Welcome Green User. It depends where u stored the video, mayb u need the right decoder. I also made a mistake iwth my earlier instructions, u will need to save your important data and do a hard reset b4 u can reinstall into the sd card.

  • Hi Documents to go is not free, you can check it on www.dataviz.com/buydocumentstogo All your info will be there... its worth it!

  • hi lionel! where can i download the documents to go software? is it free? thanks...

  • Hi I loaded a 3rd party MPEG1 player from Smartphone-freeware. Now I can play MPEG as well as rip a full DVD movie to MPEG1 then transfer to my phones mem card. Plays full length movie in good quality!!! All and all, an awesome phone with awesome features. Would suggest this to anyone. Also, download documents to go... you can then edit word, powerpoint, excel... etc documents!

  • Activesync Thanks. I'll try it out. Please one more question. I moved videos from my pc to phone(.mpeg format). It doesn't recognize the videos. What will happen if i do a total reset of the phone and startafresh. What do i lose?

  • Hi Green user, u can install ur applications on a mini sd. Make sure u sync with the sd card installed. Go to add/remove programs, remove tic at install into default folders. Now tic all the 3rd party software and click remove from ur handset. After its done, tic those u want to install and it will ask where to install it to, click on sd card. Complete the install and u will have your phone memory free. Just make sure u keep the sd in the phone all the time. Hope it helps.

  • hi Nokia6288, I'm not sure about the recording thing.. but it vibrates while ringing (both at the same time)

  • Took a month to get used to and I still screwed it up. I installed 3rd party applications successfully some days ago. I tried saving space by deleting files in program file, I remember deleting certificates and themes folders and this stopped all my 3rd party programs from running and installing new applications do not work anymore. How can I remedy this problem? Mine runs WM6. It is a wonderful Machine. Thank you all.

Processor speed on mine E61 is rather pathetic s well *still no solution on my end *, but with Nokia, i had found compatible themes, n probably some upgrade/s. Ques: 1. R Samsung themes varied s well with a vast, expandible add-on applications(* i.e Zip, abode PdF *) available ?? 2. does n can this Samsung I600 cope with a 4GB microSD, will a lagging in speed occour, accessing pixs, video, music gallery like that seen in mine E61, it completely Flops on d 4GB. Slow on d 2GB though. 3. or wld u guys recommend I sit n wait for I780 instead, if I B seeking better performance ?? Seemed better value for MONEY Touch screen with stylus, very impressed too ! 4. i'm mostly on a Wifi internet connection aft work, everday oudoors, wifi is crucial for me. Is wifi connection sensitive n steady ??? 5. Does it comes with a compatible Macromedia Flash player ?? Mine Flash lite has been dead for quite a while on E61. I'm juz hoping if I purchase I600, that I probably I b commiting on a right decision finally, that gripes s seen above wld B solved ??? I consider myself not too tech-savvy, Do advise. Thanks a Million, Pete N.

As the i780 has replaced this modle but I don't like it, because it has a touch-screen (which is a lot less longer lasting than a normal screen) & gets dirty, plus has inbuilt GPS which i already own.. thanks:)

  • WM6 upgrade will be available for Asia set soon, as for Singapore the upgrade is available starting 13 Oct 07 !! I am ok for my modded Asian -> European set right now in Malaysia :-)

  • I am disappointed that there is no upgrade of Windows Mobile (from version 5 to 6 as promised) for Singapore users to-date. Samsung appears to be indifferent to customers' feedbacks. I telephoned its local support and left messages (as requested) several times but so far I have not been contacted. I will not buy any Samsung phone from now on.

  • does data take preference over WLan or the Network operator (eg can I have WLan enabled and connect to my mail, but still be connected to the cellular network for incoming calls and messages?) Tytn seems to route mail traffic via GSM network unless GSM is tunred off:( Thanks

  • i've read a comment on sept,16 2007 ;bout mp3 file can be set for sms tone? is that true? how? cause ive tried, it doesn't work. mp3 only can set for ring tone.. if its true, please tell me... thanks a lot

  • Great phone. However I am on my second i600. The Wireless Manager keeps hanging when I put the Phone feature off when I am in my car. Samsung are impossible to contact and have not responded. BOTH phones are doing it, so I assume its a fault in the Wirelss manager

  • I have bluetooth headset H200, it was working when I was using my i600 with wm5, after upgrading to wm6 something happened, I find this headset, it recognise, beam is turned on, visibility also and it shows that they connected, but when I call, the headset disappear's. When call is in progress I try to turn on headphone it doesnt work, but when I try speakerphone it works. Maybe you know what can it be? Some problems with bluetooth drivers?

  • sup, hey Where can i download wm6 from

  • Can any1 tell me how long it takes 2 dowload a full length movie, how is the battery life of the phone, does any1 have software problemz with there phones etc.

  • You need to check how many programs are running and if you suspect any of them is consuming much memory, close it. press and hold the home key (on top left of the answer key) to open the task manager.. now, check the running programs and stop the ones you suspect consuming memory and then refresh and see your memory usage.

  • Help..i havent have anything installed but it already indicated im using 43.9/48.6MB?? I cant even use the camera nw! anyone,pls

  • i bought the Samsung i600 yesterday as well. Am from Singapore and bought through Starhub. Anyway my phone came with WM6, the firmware version is i600UDXGH4. Seems like most versions on the net are xxGG4 for those with WM6. I am wondering why mine does not have the Card Wheel Interface. ANyone has any clues?

  • does any one know whats the maximum memory is on the i600 iam consdiering buying a 4gb stick but want to find out if the max is less

  • Can anyone say for certain whether there will be an official update to WM6 for the i600. I have one on order, but do not want to take it unless someone can say with 100% certainty that there will be one. I live in South Africa. So I reckon it will have the UK English ROM.

  • Samsung i600 WORKS WELL :calling, messaging excellent quality with skype for smartphones. After upgraded from windows mobile 5 to wm 6. If you have prolems with updating from wm5 to wm6 or your skype desn't work, freezes or doesn't sart. Write to [email protected] will help! www.jocompany.com

  • Check out the new Samsung i780 :D The designs similar and has an optical mouse pad and best of all it has touch screen and built in GPS! It will be running on WM6 Professional. The Dimensions are said to be 115.9 x 61.3 x 13.3 mm! The only let down might be the processor which is said to be running at 2100 MHz, but it doesn't say which processor! The dimensions put me off a bit! It's slightly wider and thicker than the i600! But the qwerty keyboard buttons look a little bit larger than the i600's which might be a good thing. The i600's dimension is just perfect for me!

  • This phone is the biggest piece of rubbish I have ever purchased. None of my email or mms work. It's so slow and takes ages to view a picture. Why I ever changed from Nokia to this piece of rubbish I don;t know. I'm taking my sim card out and putting it back into my faithful N80. SAMSUNG YOU SUCK !!!

  • hi the student where u get the wm6 software? can u tell me? my location is jakarta

  • Yes it is possible after considerable monkeying around. Mine was bought in Singapore. I first had to flash the ROM then install active synch 4.5 and then install windows 6.

  • Hi. Can you tell me is possible to install windows mobile 6.0 on this phone?

  • the GPRS run darm slow. can not believe this kind of product performance so bad.

  • Anyone know how to HARD Reset this phone? ANd how come it do not have MSN Messeger?

  • I am confused between buying an HTC product an O2 or a samsung windows based device . I had tried the O2 mini when it had launched about 2 years ago , apparantly they were really costly then . My O2 used to hang a lot and after 2 months i had to sell it off due to problems like hanging ets . My question for now is which is a good windows based phone , i mean what brand should I go in for HTC,IMATE,O2 or SAMSUNG. my email is [email protected] would really need an expert advise on it

  • are you realy as dumb? to set an mp3 as a ringtone you have to put the song on the phone memory, you cant set is as a ringtone when the song is on memory card! clear?!

  • Hi! If I input Birthdays for my contacts, does it appear in the calender as an alert?

  • You have to save the mp3s directly in My documents. Then you may set as Ringtone and SMS tone. :) this is a great phone.

  • How do you set a track in My Music folder under My Documents as a ringtone? Someone please reply.

  • Mpanda: i've been trying this for a while and i couldn't figure our how. it think it should always be under 'My Documents' folder directly!

  • I am using i600 and I want to know how to change the ringtone to be a song in the music folder. some please help

  • WM6 is now out for the Samsung i600, and should be coming out soon for the Samsung i607 aka the Blackjack. Heres the website to get the update for WM6

  • Netsurd, I use both ones. both have pro and cons.Prefer the samsung above the nokia, the main reason..... the size and Windows operating system

  • I evaluating the Nokia e61i with this phone. Any suggestions how they both compare ?

  • i like to know that how to copy or move the notepad to the memory card .... pls let me know guy... TQ

  • This is a cool phone, just one problem though,why is the new appointments not showing on the screen as with the other PDA's where you can just scroll to the column and excess the appointment without going into the actual settings.

  • I am just wondering. Can cellphone cases with magnetic buttons affect the performance of my i600? I heard before that magnets can damage mobile phones? Is this true? I bought an expensive casing for my i600 smart phone that uses magnetic snap buttons?

  • Maybe for SUN Network users you have to adjust the seetings of the i600 hundred to the capacity of the SUN network. Try to adjust your i600 to its 2G settings. I think by default the i600 is already set to accomodate 3G settings. SUN Network is way behind 3G technology. Maybe that is why?

  • is that true? i cannot use my SUN cell line on i600? i asked the help line.. the phone must be SGH-i600 here in the Philippines not SCH-i600.. its different.. thats why..

  • Where can I get the driver for the i600 for Vista?

  • The i600 is a cool phone. It however is not upgradable to Windows Mobile 6 and it has been stripped down from its international released i600. Eg. Voice command. It also has a niche of hanging-up on receipt of another call and you cannot look-up a number whiles a person is holding. Its international release can be bought for $99.00 as appose to R3�700.00 here in South Africa. I am pretty pissed-off at Samsung for its blunt poor service and support. I am selling my i600.

  • I had my phone for a month and one day my buttons froze. I can still receive calls/sms's but i can't answer. Took it to samsung was fixed but did the same thing the day i collected it.had to take it back.what could cause it.

  • kabir, I use Fring since 3 months daily on this phone without any problem. maybe install it again. Do not see any reason why it should not work. Skype is not working as the processor is too slow for it

  • hi. The samsung website states that the phone is compatible with skype however the skype official forums clearly state that skype would not funtion on the phone. Is there anyway i can configure skype on it? i also tried fring but apart from the s/w hanging the phone it did nothing. Is there any other VOIP s/w which i could use. Help!

  • Hi. i am trying to use my i600 as a modem by connecting it to my PC with the USB cable. does anyone know if this is possible? "Settings - Connections - USB" doesn't seem to give you the option. please help!

  • this phone cannot send/recieve txt messages and cannot make/receive calls using SUN CELLULAR NETWORK in the philippines....beware! ...im still trying to figure out why...

  • Great phone! yes the WM6 update has been removed from the Samsung Promo site. I phoned them and apparently it will be released but they are uncertain of a date...

  • @JR (Cool nick by the way ;-)) check

  • Just bought the i600 yesterday, with WM6 installed. Very pleasant experience so far. Qwerty keyboard was easier to press than expected. User friendly and very good responsiveness from the interface and WM6. Wi-fi speed is decent. Would recommend this phone.

  • I have been using this phone since nearly a month now.It is a very good model & would recommend it strongly.If you have thick fingers though you might have problems with the key pad.But absolutely no problem for me.

  • i'm a businessman that uses the email alot. 24hrs actually. MS OUTLOOK. i'm thinking wether i shud by a i600 or a nokia e61i. knowing i600 is windows compatible i guess it should suit me better?? will i be able to us MS OUTLOOK w/ the nokia(os is symbian)? can anybody tell me pls.

  • Hi Jc.Tay, The phone comes with "Doc To Go" which is a very good application for viewing/editing word documents and excel sheets.

  • i plan to buy this phone to replace my HP ipaq 512 smart phone. the ipaq screen is too small for me and i lost many time during input text. i need a qwerty keyboard. but i wish to ask, does this phone able to edit the excel worksheet as the ipaq able to do this. this is important for me. thanks for advice

  • I'm also upgraded my samsung to wm6, it works fine. Windows are faster,it takes 8mb more memory, but it dont makes any differece:) I did everything by this manual:

  • update to WM6 is on samsung website, first u need to buy the device, than by giving the device type and number, you can download it.works fine, very easy. It seems ( not sure about) that latest devices are pre-loaded with WM6 already

  • Hi, I'm debating on weather to buy the i600 or the htc S630. I'm just curious weather the upgrade to Windows mobile 6 is available in English, if so how can I upgrade it? Does anyone know? Thanks!

  • indeed, this phone updated to WM6, with Fring and documents to go installed on it and you will never change mobile anymore. the best smartphone on the market, for sure

  • Anyone having a 4 hour clock difference from the phone clock and the sms text messenger? They are both not the same. When I receive a text message, it's 4 hours behind....

  • Fring makes the phone good, a must have i love it now and i love my i600

  • is this phone a quad band and how many different versions of the blackjack are there? I've seen i600 and i321N

  • dose it have the auto answer? thanks.

  • slick, you have windows live messanger on WM6, that�s the same as pocket msn. Anyhow installing FRing is a good idea as making skype calls is not working if you install skype, with Fring it works fine. enjoy the phone

  • Not sure if anyone made the discovery after buying their new Samsung i600 and realizing that Pocket MSN isn't there. I found this great solution if you already haven't. If you get a chance, check out Fring, great software that allows you to run Skype, MSN, GTalk and others in one simple app. Works great!! Make sure the accounts you register aren't logged on from your computer, or it won't subscribe it thru Fring. It's also best to make a Test call, which can easily be done since there is a default test user in the app.

  • Just received this phone and let me tell you, it's amazing. Paid 350$ Canadian... got the latest version with the firmware update, so I didn't have to do it myself. Been 5 days and has yet to crash on me. There have been dust issue creeping under the lcd, but with the latest version, this problem doesn't seem to be there any longer. No Java pre-installed, but you can install it with 3rd party, and it works wonders. Haven't had a chance to install Skype yet, but will soon. Bar none, great phone, sleek design, nice rubber enclosure, super thin, and Qwerty keyboard works great. The only flaw I see is that you can't use Bluetooth and Wifi at the same time, because it just doesn't want to work.

  • dear all, from the moment the update for ur country becomes available update ur phone to WM6. I did 2 weeks ago and it works without any problem. No worry, just update, all goes fine

  • Attention: Don't buy from e-buy-global.com ! It's strange that they got mobile phones 70% cheaper, e.g. 8600 Luna - $150. It's that odd, that it doesn't even cover production expenses... So, my advice: don't even write to them. They aren't really from Italy! Their host is somewhere in Israel! It might aswell be some kid playing around behind his PC, and getting his money off our backs. When I asked for their company's registration number, business rate, or something like that, the director replied to me they haven't got it for anybody. 'Cause that's something that has to be made public, so anyone may verify it. Thanks! Bye! P.S.: Please tell others, on other forums, too!

  • Does this phone have JAVA?

  • has windows mobile 6 came out for this phone yet in the u.s.? if it has can someone please email me the link

  • I have bought this phone, but I didnt found that Card wheel theme, maybe it belongs in which region and provider it was bought?

  • I installed FRING and tried it with MSN and GoogleTalk and it worked just fine! when i try to register my Skype account, it just keeps saying Registering and nothing more!! it never gets to finish the registeration. does anyone have any idea about that?!

  • This is the worst phone... It looks good but. I have a Nokia e61i and it simply kills the samsung. Samsung features are so complicated its incredible.

  • Has anyone tried installing the Pocket DIVX Player 0.8 on this phone? Would like to know if it works or not.

  • I live in the US, and have upgraded to wm6. i used the link from Finland and it works great. i like the new features, feel just like a windows pc. I dont really think it matters much where u live or which location you chose to use. Also since i installed the new software my talk timers got wiped out, so i can now sell it as new(ish).

  • Samsung is upgrading the i600 handsets to run windows mobile 6. this is the site from where you can upgrade your i600 to Windows Mobile 6. Only 6 countries have been activated, the rest will follow. DO NOT upgrade if you have a Blackjack 607 without WiFi. This is only for the i600.

  • Today, Samsung told me by e-mail, indeed they will provide an update to WM6 for the i600.The update will be available on the samsung website. there was no time slot announced in the mail.

  • yesterday ibought i600 after then ifound some problems in wifi and blue tooth.i think it is the worest pocket pc in world

  • @shane try to download from this link: if you have cellphone vendors there that offers installation of anti-virus, asked them if they could download it to your mobile. here in the philippines we have tons of vendors that offers that service. its not necessarily must come from a samsung service center just be sure that they offer quality service. just to let you know virus in cellphones are now rampant nowadays. if a virus gets to your phone then its doomed to shut off. the best that we can do is to install anti-virus to a symbian phone or windows mobile phone. AND be careful in transferring files via bluetooth. sometimes it has virus. and also be carefull transferring files from a computer to your cellphone. first you must scan the file for viruses in order for you to be sure its clean. :)

  • TO DOM how to get the anti virus? anyway it had been days at service centre.. still no news..dunno the samsung guys doing what??their sucks esp in singapore..

  • this smartphone has java MIDP 2.0,or doesn't? my phone branded in Orange but I don't find extension .jad and .jar to him.Why???

  • Ahmed, Fring works very good on it, Nokia N80 is far behind this juwel. I use it for 4 months. great mobile

  • Hi Guys.. anyone knows if this one is better or the Nokia N80? also, with this software FRING, could i simply make voice chat calls using any wireless internet connection available like i do with my laptop?

  • @shane well, no one is perfect in the world. i think you should give this handset a chance. after all some phones do have defects and you are the lucky one. take it back to a service center and asked them if they could replace the handset, if not possible have it repaired and if the same problem happen then you now have the right to throw it to garbage. i think the problem would be in the software, have it reformatted and have an anti-virus since windows mobile phones are more prone to virus.

  • i would like to know windows mobile 5.0 is it compatible to pc wondows ? i wuld like to use I600 instide of pc in using data show ( proctor ) . thanks

  • when i have finished downloading email the connection still remains live with the icon on above the battery icon. the only way i can stop it is to switch my phone off then on again. does anyone know another way to disconnect without switching off the phone. thanks.

  • Very bad phone!!!! Horror battery cover. The connection functions are terrible. Worst ever !!!

  • anyone knows where to download msn messenger? pocket msn? so unfortunate that this device doesnt comes with it.

  • Thanks alot for your quick response on my question about the charging of the new phone, i'll do so thanks!! Cant wait to get it!!

  • Mike, The battery life depends on what you do with the device. If your going to be using WiFi and leave bluetooth on and make calls on a regular basis then no the battery life isnt that great but then again this will be the same case for any other deivice out there. Also HSDPA drains the battery really fast and even heats up the device a little. My i600 is an Orange branded one and it came with one normal battery and one extended battery. The extended battery really makes a difference but the only downside is that its a bit bigger so therefore you need to use a different back cover which increases the thickness of the device but not by much and it still looks pretty cool and thin. I only use mine for instant messaging, email, sms and talking on the phone here and there so I only need GPRS. I have disabled 3G and this has made a huge difference and it now lasts me a good two days. With the extended battery it lasts for a good 3 days. No problems for me what so ever but like I said it depends on what you do with it.

  • When you get the phone, put the battery in it and charge the phone for about 4 hours. Then use the phone untill the battery dies completely then charge it again for about 2 hours or how ever long it takes for the battery to fully charge. Thats it. Don't worry too much about it. But do remember to let the battery die out completely every so often. This will make the battery more efficient and it will last longer.

  • I ordered my Samsung i600 Blackjack and im expecting it early next week. Im just wondering, for how long should I charge the battery the first time and can I use it until it goes down and then charge it or should I charge it directly before using it??

  • Great forum and comments. Could anyone who has US Cingular (ATT) service and an i600 working in such network tell me from 1st hand experience if they can access and reach HSDPA speeds? Is there anything you have not been able to do the same compared to the ATT branded counterparts? anything better besides WiFi and webcam? Anyone knows why The Samsung website advertises FM radio? I would really appreciate straight forward answers as I might get one for my wife and one for myself. Thank you all!

  • Any owner of I600 has comment on its battery life? Some review says the battery life is too short (last for 1 day) for slim battery. Is it true?

  • Egor, thx for your advise, Fring works without any problem. Great

  • I use both.both are perfect. choose windows or symbian and decide, they are both very good. slightly prefer samsung for his smaller size

  • Friends, some people mention they have information from Samsung about the update to WM6. But on all the questions where this info can be found, never an answer is given.

  • Its a fine phone and synchronization is easy. However, how does one transfer SMS to the PC?

  • Guys, How's the sound quality of the music player? Is it comparable with the nokia music phones? Does it have a clear full stereo sound? Thanks

  • Most of the problems related by most of you guys here with the i600 are mainly OS related. Look for sites like SmartPhoneThoughts.com or msmobiles.com and join the forums. Most people there are experts on Windows Mobile and you should be able to get an answer to most of your questions there. BTY, I've been using mine for 2 months now, and still trouble free. Just need to know where to look for the functionality your looking for. Need a better PIM suite, try SBSH Papyrus, I'm using it and it's great.

  • I am based in UK and have an Orange i600. Does anyone know if I can flash my device with an Original Samsung ROM? If so then would someone direct me to where I can download the ROM. I very much dislike the Orange branding and would like to get rid of it. Thanks for any help you give.

  • This is my first experience with Samsung Mobile phones. Ive been using this phone for 1 month and have no critical problems. The buttons are a little too small but i got used to it pretty fast. Battery life was good after adjusting the power management features. I have problems editing my "tasks" and setting a due date for them. Can someone tell me how its done?

  • i find it hard to open the battery cover..

  • got a quick question here, hows the interface like on your units? i tested one the other day, it had the cardwheel HS, it probably lagged atleast 1.5sec in everything that i had it try doing. i was thinking that it probably was because that it was a test unit, thats why it as lagging, i mean a lot of people had used it hence that lag, im not sure though.

  • do we really need an update to WM6 ? the i600 works complete stable, I had not 1 crash in 15 weeks. think even if the update arrives, will wait few months before installing and see the prblems faced by others. this mobile looks not bad and works perfect. Btw WM6 is not that special

  • I am very satisfied with this phone. Great features, very good quality. The only drawbacks are that you cannot yet edit documents and that the battery life is nowhere near 305 hours (12 days). Try 3.

  • The phone is compatible with java midp 2.0 but if I try tu run a java jar or jad file it doesn't recognize the file. If they said it suport midp 2.0 that means they should install a java enviroment on the phone?

  • Does anybody know how to download mxit on the phone. please advise. thanks

  • to shane; ur phone is switching to HSDPA for downloading, that makes the phone heat up and the battery drains fast. it should not happen if u do not enter the internet or read mails. To what I found out, once the mail is downloaded the system swith off HSDPA and goes on normal 3G, on that moment also the heating is stopping

  • does anybody know where i can get pocket msn and pocket office 4 my blackjack please tell

  • The phone is compatible with java midp 2.0 but if I try tu run a java jar or jad file it doesn't recognize the file. What should I do?

  • To Shane That is definitely your batteries fault... maybe it is shorting somewhat, maybe get a new battery or have the connection terminal to the phone checked.

  • Does anyone know, if I enter the birthday date under contacts will the phone notify me on the day of the birthday????

  • Awesome phone, does everything you can think of, especially after installing Office edit where I can edit word, excel, ower point, zip files...

  • the reason i intend to buy this phone is that it is the only business-class phone available in the market that supports 3.5G (HSDPA), WiFi & doesn't cost a small fortune, this phone costs almost half the price of any other HSDPA phone on this website (prices in the UAE where i work), & as for the battery life, all phones crammed with features eat up batteries, if u fully use the features u will have to recharge daily, & if u plan to use 3G or GPRS for a long time on one go u have to plug an AC cord into the phone. I just wish they DIDN'T put a camera in it! would've made it cheaper & use less power, & I won't use it anyway, i use a dedicated camera when i want one.

  • Horrible battery life! Required 2 fully charged batteries provided to go through a full day. Returned it after 4 days.

  • Could someone please telll me where to download USB driver for this phone? I have i600 not the blackjack. thanks.

  • after 2 months intensive using, very good mobile. Can advise it to all of you. cheers

  • Phone isnt amazing. The keys are have a, "cheap" feeling due to the use of a cheap plastic. If you are looking for a sleeker phone, go for the E61i. However, the i600 is better in which it has a second camera in the front.

  • yes, the data cable charge the battery as well

  • u u rather carry a keyboard and monitor in ur pocket its no diff.........big and untidy

  • Does anyone know if the data cable charges the battery as well? Is there a USB charger for this model? Samsung brand, that is...

  • I've had the samsumg i600 for a week now and I'm loving it. The battery lasts at least a day or so, so at the moment I'm not too fussed about the short battery life. I think Samsung have done the right thing by including 2 batteries anyway - and for the slimness of the model, it's to be expected and quite satisfactory for me. Major plus points: - screen - web browsing - WiFi WiFi WiFi WiFi!!! (big plus) - scroll wheel - video is quite OK Negatives - camera lower quality than expected, but no big deal - I use a dedicated camera most of the time anyway - no shortcuts between My documents and the storage card - would love to get rid of the Microsoft Outlook sync icons around the place without major hacking - speakerphone quality not so good - can we please have a phone that will accept normal headphones??? Other than that - very, very good phone and I am more than satisfied!

  • I love the phone, but can't seem to get Wi-Fi to connect....can anyone help

  • I bought this phone 3 weeks ago & the 1st week itself it hanged. This happened 3 times & finally sent it to service centre. Don't know if I would really keep this phone for long, as Its very slow on response compared to Nokia 6310i phone I used earlier.

  • to Iman, the phone battery is for a smartphone / pda acceptable by normal use 2 days, by heavy use of Wifi you will need to, charge it daily, but as said this is normal for windows based smartphones. about MS office two possibilities, or you install documents to go software (29 us$) what gives u a very good packet of MS office software, or you update to windows mobile 6, an update that samsung will provide for free before end of June ( read somewhere july ). To be honest, I use the phone for two months now, it is a great tool.

  • I have been waiting for this phone and need a little advice from those who have already experienced it. I see mixed reviews on battery life. Any final word? Also, any idea if it is possible to set it up so it downloads from Microsoft Exchange? Also not sure if if it supports MS Office functions. Thanks in advance.

  • Samsung promised an update to windows mobile 6 during this month. Anyone knows about when exactly the update will be provided ?

  • Yes, as long as you have the USB cable which comes with it

  • can this phone be detected as a mass storage device when hooked up to the PC? or it really needs it's own software to be installed first? thanks.

  • Can someone tell me how many numbers can you save on this phone? Is it unlimited (only limited to the external memory that you ad), OR is there only a certain fixed size of memory put asside for your contact list (telephone list). How many numbers can you save on your normal outlook contact list?

  • Windows mobile 5 doesn't come with MS software but the new MS 6 do have. MS 5 have a software to view MS file only. But you can go and purchase Document to go for MS5 which is more superior then MS edition!

  • can someone please tell me where is the MS office software on the phone? I just bought it today and cant find it anywhere in the menu...plz help

  • can someone tell me how to swith on the automatic keyboard lock on this samsung ? thx a lot

  • i love this fone!! i want to get it this week on a vodafone upgrade. can someone tell me, does it have any app included tot make notes or create documents? and also, does it come standard with he sleek looking today interface that scrolls the windows vista-style?

  • Hi jorge, u ll find after few months what kind of gadget u bought. Then u have 2 charge your phone twice or more a day. It ll make your life hell.

  • It does have WI FI. You must got the one calls "BLACKJACK i607" from Cingular. They make that doesn't have 3G CAM either. They look the SAME THINGS but just that one doesn't have a 3G CAM on right corner. That's why you got it for a such cheaper price. Just take your complaint to Cingular.

  • It does have Wi/Fi b/g, checked on Samsung.com

  • Regarding the previous comment: Samsung i600 does have WiFi. I just bought one. Wifi works great. Just trying to correct previous poster's erroneous information.

  • Dear Blackjack Owners, can you use the phone as an HSDPA wireless modem and receive a call at the same time?

  • This phone does NOT have Wi-Fi as described on the details above.

  • I have been using the phone for over a month now and I must say . . . fantastic. I bought this to link up to our corporate email via Goodlink - done. Googlemaps - done. standard feature packed. I bought the phone in German, it is now all English, didnt know you could do that :-) Downside: a bit small (but thats a plus too), battery life short (especially with blue tooth & WiFi burning) All up: recommended!! I would buy it again. A positive experience.

  • Awesome smart phone. Pitty there is no FAX feature and the HSDPA is only 1.8MBPS. Samsung phones are hot and sexy, why does the i600 lack design? Looks like my Varsity financial calculator;)

  • Not sure about those of you who complain about battery life. I get by on 2 days with a full charge! And I use it quite often, for calls, online surfing, MSN and tons of sms.

  • This is a great phone the battery life is not that bad at all, but it could use a touch screen. Besides that it is an amazing phone

  • Samsung i have eagerly awaiting the i600 and i already have the nokia e61i which is a great phone but was a bit big and did not have e secondary camera. I have to say that samsung is going to destry their reputation by the lousy batteries and very short battery life they include in their phones. the battery life of the i600 is so bad it makes me hate using the phone and i thought they learnt their lesson from the 3201 the model before the i600. actually everyone i meet complains about the lousy battery life and swears never to buy a samsung phone. For everyone out there who want the perfect phone look at the HTC 3600.

  • I have been considering buying this phone. The only deal breaker would be if there was no profiles system for the phone, something similar to the Symbian S60 profile system. I have a P990i and while I can switch to silent my phone during meetings, I inadvertently forget to switch it on and thus miss calls or messages. If the phone has this system, then I would get this for myself. Can someone help me out with my query?

  • I used a samsung mobile n d bettery performance was very very bad. Voice was very strong. Problem occured when waned 2 download software. Thats why i hate em. Hope this 1 ll be frederent. Sorry guys.

  • Just out of curiosity, I will be switching to to samsung i600 soon if this question is answered by you i600 experts. Can u exchange files from Nokia phone via bluetooth? for example recieving notes from nokia phones which ends in txt format Thank You, great website!

  • wow! its amazing, just got it today, its easy to use, light, wifi - im always online within the house wireless!, stlyish and fullfill all my needs and more

  • Hi Im from Cisco too. We have an option to get i600 or E61i (I hate the Treo 650). I like the i600 more but what I know is that Cisco is going to release an agent for Windows Mobile that will support Cisco Call Manager

  • Does anyone know when the Samsung or any other mobile using the Windows mobile OS will support the Cisco VoIP clent. I currently have a Nokia E61 and am about to upgrade. I really like the Samsung i600 but it doesn't have the Cisco VoIP client like the E61/E61i or E65 and i use this feature at my office on our Cisco call manager. I heard you can download a 3rd party app for the windows mobile phones. Any comment.

  • hi. usually when you have your operator settings for wap, the gprs connection is there, but works only when needed.., you don�t have to worry about it. The wi-fi connection if on, keeps searching for a hotspot, then your battery life will "pay" for it...if you need to use wi-fi for Skype or to surf the net, go to the connection manager and then activate the wi-fi. regards

  • i've found out abt the when both gprs n wifi is on..how do we noe whether we r using wifi or gprs...? i've called samsung hq..if u wan to use wifi..make sure there's a wireless connection which u can access..to disable the gprs..go start->settings->connections->wireless manager->tap menu->n u will see a disconnect cellular data->tap on it.. n there the gprs will be disable.. if its already disabled..the colour of the "disconnect cellular data" would be in grey...after doing this..u r ready for high speed free wifi internet! another thing..anybody got msn mobile?can mail mi it?

  • Normally the device always use WiFi if connected. But dunno how to verify that. Just need to trust on it I think.Maybe we should send this question to Samsung Support.

  • Bought a Samsung I600 a couple of days ago, and so far I'm very happy with it. I used a Treo 650 before, so pretty familiar with Qwerty keyboards. I actually find the Samsung's keyboard easier to use than the treo, less errors when typing. Screen is about 15% smaller than the Treo's, wish it was about the same since I'm used to bigger screens. Syncing with PC is a breeze, and using wifi and 3G for internet is also very easy. Managed to configure my gmail account easily (without contacting my phone provider) so I can send and receive emails directly from the phone. I also have the same question: how do you know if you are using 3G or wifi when surfing the net?

  • You will be right Ling, this samsung is a great device.In my company we all changed mobiles and had the choice between Nokia E61i and this Samsung, Samsung won the voting and seems nobody regret the choice.About the Ghost voting on this forum, It is known from other Forums too that Nokia babies try to bring their devices to a higher score and do the inverse with their competitors. Do not think Nokia is happy with this but babies stay babies....so just let them play.. :-)

  • upgrade will be available on the samsung website in a few weeks. Before end of June anyhow.

  • samsung offerin upgradin og windows mobile 6?how to i get the upgrade? n another qns.. when i on my wifi n my hp havin gprs.. how would i noe whether i'm using the wifi or gprs? coz if i keep using n its chargin into my gprs i'll be paying big bucks at the end of the month.. anybody noes abt tis?i plead to all i600 users... thanks..shane,singapore

  • Must be nokia fanboys that bring the score down drastically. I bet they vote 0/0/0 for this great device

  • did u saw that too ? almost 100 votes came on this site in less as 1 day !!!! dropped from 8.3 to 8.1...... mmmm very strange, maybe little boys are playing a game ?

  • Hi I bought this phone around a week ago, loving it. I downloaded Opera Mobile Beta 8.65, seems good!! Only question is, how do I load Opera Mini on this phone? Everytime I try to download, it states that this file cannot be viewed on this device.... any suggestions? Regards Lionel Gaum Cell C SP MNP PST [email protected]

  • I am interested in purchasing the i600. I read in the forum that Samsung is offering a free update/upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.0 Is it the full version of smart phone version? By the way a word of advice for the Samsung people: If this product had touchscreen feature it would have been extra awesome. Anybody know any plan by Samsung to provide touchscreen feature in the near future? If so I will wait till it happens. Thanks and please contact me at my email address.

  • Thx for the clarification! Got the brochure and also not similar to the one I held. Let them sell it to me as an i600 and I'll drag their sorry @rses to court for misrepresentation.

  • you saw the blackjack version, no wireless,no 3G and logical no front camera.This version is sold in USA and called i607. looks same but isn�t

  • Had a look at this phone today, but it doesn't look similar. The one I saw had no camera on the front and at the back there was a camera with what looks like 'speaker/microphone' perforation holes on either side of the camera. Does not look like the pictures on here. Samsung care to explain this anomaly?

  • I have a question... Do you have to add another line to this phone like the BlackJack if you get it??????

  • Really nobody knows how to change the web home page on this lovely mobile ?

  • to Pak Abu, yes you are doing wright...First connect with usb cable to your pc then go tointernet sharing on the device, you will get an immediate connection. Go on your pc to internet options, connections and click the case...dial whenever a network connection is not present...it will work perfectly...i600 is one of the best smartphones i ever had and i can tell you that i buy and try all the latest models, from Nokia e-series to HTC...

  • Hi All Need some of yr experience with i600 when using it as a modem. What is the actual way to set it up as a wireless modem? Previously i was using a O2 Mini II and quiet happy connecting to the net (using it as a modem). But now with this i600 i don't know how to set it up as a wireless modem on how i did it for O2 previously. Last time i used to create a dialup connection and as at when i wanted to connect, i'll just dial up. But i really can't figure out how to do this with i600. I notice that once i connect the phone to my laptop using the USB cable, it will detect a network automatically (ofcoz after i've installed the CD pack in the first place before plugging it to my laptop). And then, i will use the Internet Sharing application to connect and it will terminate the first network and create another one. And now i'm able to browse to the net. Did Microsoft removed the dial-up networking (DUN) functionality from Windows Mobile 5.0 but replaced it with Internet (Connection) Sharing instead? In the past with using the DUN functionality, a connection was established from the laptop. This means, the connection was created on the laptop by dialing *99# and configuring the APN on the laptop as well. Then, the connection was initiated from the laptop and the Windows Mobile smartphone was just a dumb modem which received all the commands from the laptop. Is this the correct way in using i600 as a modem? Tried to google around but can't get an answer. Truly appreciate for any comments. Thank you. Best regards, Pak Abu

  • on some webpage, people mention about a battery with extended power to use in the samsung blackJack. as Blackjack is almost same mobile... any idea if we can use it in the i600 as well and if it really helps to extend the time between two rechargings ?

  • Hello friends, how can I change my homepage in this mobile ? can�t find it and want google as homepage instead of the default page

  • if you want to create and edit documents go to and try their program: documents to go for windows mobile.

  • can you use windows live messenger here?

  • can we install a software so we can edit/type on ms word and excel?

  • Does anyone know what the carousel software actually does? also why did Orange remove it?

  • hello "not sure",surprised I am as I installed on the i600 the dataviz smartphone edition 3 and it works as a dream. surprised I am as I travel the world around , as you do, no dropped calls at all. Or I was very lucky, or you had bad luck with the samsung i600. Be honest, after installing documents to go on it, almost no difference anymore with real pda.anyhow I am very happy with it, you a little less. let it be as that, makes the life attractive. btw, a very nice review u gave here.

  • I'm sure everyone's experience will differ, but mine is based on real world experience. And from that, it didn't work for me. If you move around in a vehicle (happened in Singapore, Hong Kong, and London) the calls do drop. As I said, I attribute this to the fact that the switching between signals/base stations is poor. I had another phone as well with me (which is a Nokia N95) with a different 3G SIM card and that worked fine (as well as my Blackberry 8707 which also worked fine). When I went to Bangkok for work, the i600 refused to pick up a signal. Luckily, I know how to manually find a network and then I had to keep telling the phone not to keep switching. BTW, I installed DataViz and it doesn't work on the Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone. I must have the WM5 Dataviz FULL version and not the Smartphone version (or maybe an older version). I know it does have this function because the Dopod WM5 smartphones' can edit documents but I couldn't install it and don't know why Samsung didn't have it built-in. My final thoughts on this is that perhaps I have been looking at this phone incorrectly. I tried to compare it to either PDA phones (like my Dopod 838 Pro and XDA Zinc). PDA phones are usually better PDAs than they are phones as they run full Windows Mobile and have the full functionality as such. In contrast, mobile phones are mobile phones, and don't have the capabilities of PDAs and as such we don't generally compare the two. To me, the Samsung is in its own class - an in-between product, which many manufacturers dub a "smartphone". It's not a PDA phone nor is it just a phone. That's why it runs WM5 Smartphone, and not WM5. So it's not fair to compare it to either of those. I should compare it to other "smartphones" with WM Smartphone like the O2 XPhone Graphite/IIm, Dopod C720w, and the i-mate SPL. Although I like the Dopod a bit more, the i600 does pack in a lot for something so small which is pretty amazing. I just wish I wasn't fooled by the Samsung marketing which led me to think this was a full PDA phone which it isn't. And I'm still unhappy about the poor phone reception!

  • carousel software;

  • Does anyone know what the carousel software is for this phone? What is carousel software exactly?

  • Free software ? just hang around the internet and you will find tons. However really usable software you will need to pay for I guess

  • where can i get free softwares for mu samsung i600?

  • if you want to make a real business tool of this unit, install Dataviz documents to go on it.Viewing and edit most common office documents and zip included. really nice

  • Hi, i just got this phone yesterday and so far i think its fantastic. my only issue is, how do i get it to sync with outlook? i have windows vista and the versions available dont seem to work. where can i get a compatible version?

  • dunno why so many people complain, maybe they even never owned the device. I have it 3 weeks now and didn�t faced any problem of what people mention on this site. It is just a good smartphone doing what it need to do. BTW Samsung told me by mail they will free update to Windows 6 during coming month

  • Got this a couple of weeks ago. So far so good! The battery life isn't really that bad.. used half an hour of surfing & chatting on msn, about an hour on music and moderate calls and sms; the battery was still at half charge! Not too bad.. only needs a recharge every couple of days for me. HSDPA is a huge difference over GPRS, I have no problems with my 3G sim card or the reception. For those with problems, might just be your unit - go get it checked to make sure everything's in place! Overall its been what I was looking for.. didn't need the touchscreen!

  • anyone who knows how to do a soft reset of the device without switching of the power button ? thx

  • Does this phone have voice dialling?

  • seems blackjack has no wireless, this one have

  • is this the same phone as the blackjack that cingular in the U.S. has?

  • not sure 2 in Europe I used in a small test area. in hongkong I used Smartone in a test area on Hongkong airport Just to make the info in previous reaction more complete cu

  • To not sure, Dear forum member. I will not look as a guy knowing all about but I owned many really many pda. on this moment I still have 5. Samsung i600 is a real good phone and pda. Samsung do not pay me to tell this, just believe me, no problems at all. I tried 3.5 G in a test area in Belgium and Hongkong and it seems OK, however the few minutes use can not guarantee this fully.Noise about bad working in 2 and 3 G networks are realy not shared by me. I used the phone in Europe ( Belgium, Holland, france, Germany and Italy) in Asia ( China, Singapore , HongKong ) and did not had 1 dropped call, not 1 crash. just let you know this. Enjoy and do not forget, best is to try yourself and see. :-)

  • I'm a little skeptical about all these people that claim they are using it with 3.5G HSDPA. Tell me what country you are in and what network you are connected to? I don't believe that you are really on 3.5G as there aren't actually that many networks in the world that support it yet. It's coming but not yet there for everyone. The people that are having a good experience with this phone, particularly the phone calls are probably NOT using 3G. If you use this as a 2G phone, it might actually work. But I agree with ALL the others, if you put in a 3G SIM card, this Samsung fails. It can't find a network when you are roaming, it has a lot of failed calls, and sometimes doesn't even Sync properly. From someone that has used this for nearly 2 months now, I can tell you that my experience hasn't been good. It is NOT a good PDA phone, and it is not a good mobile phone. The Samsung tries to do both and fails at both. It should have tried to just do one and do it well. BTW, you can see the dust accumulate underneath the screen once you turn it off.

  • Its cool to have this with 3.5G HSDPA speed was so fast. The nightmare of hanging in touch screen PDA phones are all gone. Surprisingly, the phone function is more stable than other windows mobile phones. However, the keyboard need time to get used to. Also its difficult to find applications and games for this windows mobile 5.0 smartphone edition. Also I'm finding the Bluetooth GPS software for this but can't get hold yet.

  • i was going to say i have the e61i and the i600. the nokia has a bigger screen and much easier to read emails and other downloads. the samsung is smaller and lighter to carry. depends on what you need it for. i tend to carry the samsung more. the nokia is a lot more sophisticated yet easy and has a lot more features. the samsung is just funner to have. enjoy the samsung.

  • too late the samsung is mine

  • About this phone: I am using it for few weeks around the world. As well for phone calls, e-mail by GPRS/EDGE/3G and wireless, surfing the net. I owned a few pda before (O2 Atom, Dopod 810) Pda may have some more options, this phone is much easier to use and for sure the quality of the sound by making calls is much better as by pda.was never a Samsung lover but what I can see from this mobile, maybe I will become a Samsung lover. For business people using their mobile for calls and mail, this is what you should try. Maybe 1 more remark,Samsung made an own interface based on mobile 5 for this phone what makes the phone much more easy to use as standard windows 5

  • msn messanger is standard installed on the phone, just have a look on the internet map.

  • i got this phone last week, i use to travel HK & China, but this phone no chinese language setting, wondering third party software can be loaded??? and i tot windows mobile 5 can support IM Skype... can't skype in/out, it will cause yr phone "hang"... anyone can tell me whether where to find Msn Messenger that suits this phone? Pls help!!!

  • just got this phone 2 days back. this internet speed is wicked fast! 3.5G rocks.. you can't imagine how lovely it is having unlimited data plan and surfing the net with your laptop using this excellent phone as a modem. wicked fast! that's all i can comment. and the menus are so easy to use (spend 30 mins on the user guide first laa). i say this phone is almost perfect!

  • just wondering if anyone knows if this phone would be able to use mtv urge subscription

  • Finally got my hands on this pretty thing in Dubai still enjoyin it does anyone know how to configure it for DU MMS and Data services? Regards

  • i got this phone a week ago and had the same problem with the reception with others. i'm from the philippines and i'm using a smart sim. i tried using the phone with my smart 3g postpaid sim and i can't get through the 3g network. i have to default it to the gsm band coz i don't get any service or signal if i will select the band to auto or WCDMA. i tried to use my 2g smart prepaid sim and it worked pretty well. i think this reception problem would depend on the simcard you are using. i think this samsung phone still have to fix the issue with different simcards.

  • everybody who wanna edit documents on any ms smartphone can go to search this software: dataviz documents to go. it cost maybe 30 to 40 dollars. u can try search on ip-mart website for the keys... and hope u enjoy the only editor for ms sp...

  • Of the complains I read here, I did not faced one of them. on my Samsung all works perfect, there is no dust under the screen and there are no dropped calls. I owned 7 pda before from 02, dopod to HP and be honest we need to say, Samsung you made an existing tool better. I tried the E91i too and need to say, it is for sure not bad. but the samsung feels nicer

  • Kerneels, What office doc editor did you download? Freeware? If so, where can I get it? TIA rigel

  • how to do a soft and hard reset of this smart Phone ?

  • smile is what you will do when using this phone, if you know how to handle windows phones, u will be more as happy with this samsung.

  • Just Received, been a Nokia fan mostly & getting to grips with Samsung layout. Windows mobile helps, but some features missing or can't find. Nice clear screen. Finally a small phone, loaded to kick ass. Can't wait for the update to this...

  • Great phone. I used Imate and Eten before and initially missed touch screen but this has now passed.More phone than PDA but has all the functionality I need. Small and easy to fit in shirt pocket. Downloaded program to edit office documents and can now edit on the run. No crashes in 4 weeks and still going strong!

  • use the pda for 1 day, easy to setup, easy to use, till now all goes really fine and little frilan is happy :-)

  • just bought the phone, hope I will like it

  • Now on my tenth Samsung and the i600 is fantastic. If you want a business phone it is perfect. It now saves me carrying a seperate PDA as well. It will never please everyone which is normal but if you are s Samsung fan and want a phone for business this is a good buy. Free in the UK with Orange! I have now installed TV software so i can watch on the move. James

  • I think this is exactly what I was looking for - now if only I could find it in the US for an affordable price.... ANyone care to help out? ;)

  • funny huh.. actually i find it funny when people use a phone till it hungs or gets jammed. To me, a phone gets screwed if the person is also screwed up.sorry to say this, but its really true. i'm currently using O2 mini and everything fits well despite hearing quiet a number of complaints here and there. i truly appreciate all the great comments and experience from you guys. but the big question is, do you know how to operate the phone? i can say i'm kinda of a heavy user myself but you need to know the limits bro. after all, it is just a piece of gadget so-called a CELL PHONE. not here to offend any of you guys but do gain some IT knowledge first. Adiosss..

  • People that say this is a great phone need to use it first. I find it funny how the people that praise it aren't the ones that have used it yet. I almost feel sorry for you because you don't know what you are getting. Following what I wrote, I decided to give up and not keep the i600. The fact that it kept dropping calls and then freezing up was annoying. I also found a new problem - the keys LOCK. After a phone call, when you try to hang up, it doesn't. The phone just freezes. You are constantly connected. I had to turn the phone on and off to end the call (and once even had to pop out the battery). Also, please note this is a WM5 Smartphone version not a real WM5 so you can't do things like edit documents. It just doesn't work the same. The P990 has been out for awhile and I'm sure it too has issues, but the i600 isn't great. If you want a real smartphone go buy one. The HTC/O2/Dopod are real smartphones (I've had many) and you have plenty to choose from. Lastly, yes the software is full of bugs and the other writer seems to have the same problem I had. It's not the network or your SIM card (I'm a telco guy) - it's the phone. You can try to work around this by manually selecting your network. That's what I had to do. It's a temporary fix but again, another annoyance to an otherwise fairly good designed phone. Others here might want to wait for the Motorola Q/Q9 but initial feedback didn't sound very good as well. We just can't win yet.

  • If i were you I would not buy the P990i. I bought it three months ago and i totally regret it. it has a really bad qwerty keyboard and it the phone itself is very slow despite the three firmware updates SE has issued so far. It is very bulky and 50% heavier than the i600. I am not sure if the i600 has a touch screen or not though. good luck man...

  • i don't really understand why some people hate this phone. Dammnn!! This phone is incredible, unbelievable and believe it or not, Its on Ripleys :) hehe.. Currently using O2 mini and gonna trade it for this amazing gadget this weekends!

  • Battery life is bad and the network reception is worse.It drops reception and it freezes sometime.P990 is better that I600 samsung

  • I have bought this phone in Belgium. It worked fine. I travelled in Asia and it worked fine as well. Upon returning to my home country Jordan, the phone displays "No Service". It can receive calls/SMS but cannot place calls/SMS. I took the phone to the Samsung dealer and they said it has something to do with the Network. They tried the other provider's SIM and it worked OK. But it does not work on the my network (which supports GSM 900 and 1800). They tried their best to make it work - but could not :-( I'm going to have to ditch this phone if I don't get a solution. If anyone can help - that would be much appreciated. Regards, Bman

  • push email is when the email is sent to your phone as you receive it on your inbox, instead of having to select get and send on your phone, it is an additional service but worth geting if you are email dependant for work

  • AAARRRGGGHHH!!!! I'm torn between the Samsung SGH-i600 and Sony Ericsson P990i. Please help me pick! Which one do you think I should get??? Here are the pros of each (in my humble opinion): i600: design (thin/small; great surface texture), HSDPA, one-handed use, WM OS, "g" Wifi, P990i: excellent camera, large touch screen (although could be a con - see below), FM Radio, document editors (quite important for me) While the touch screen function is cool and may make web browsing and document editing easier (especially for spreadsheets), the single-hand usability of the i600 is also a big plus for me. I like the way the i600's keyboard is laid out though, and the placement of the scroll wheel is just right for single, right-handed use. As for price, I find them quite comparable where I'm from (the Philippines), with the P990i being very slightly cheaper (probably since the model is more than a year old). Although the slightly more expensive price of the i600 doesn't include a MicroSD card, while the P990i has a 64MB MS Duo in the package. I'm leaning towards the i600, but just wish it had WM6 so I could edit Office documents on it. Any chance it can be upgraded from the stock MW5 to MW6 in the near future? I'd really appreciate your thoughts (you can e-mail me). Thanks in advance. Regards, rigel

  • it is like Black Berry function.. that allow to connect to your email directly.

  • any one can explain what is pushmail pls

  • i was trying to say i am not a nokia phone enthusiast but they have done an excellent job on this one

  • I had the exact same issues with the samsung i600 and they are all sorted with the nokia e61i. i am not a nokia phone but have done an excellent job with this phone.

  • I've had the i600 for about a month now (note, it is a little different than the Blackjack which another friend has). I really feel very mixed about this phone. I'm coming from previously using the Nokia N73/N91/6288, Dopod 838 Pro, and the O2 XDA Atom. I wanted to stay with a QWERTY keyboard type phone so I chose this. The definite positives are that it's amazingly thin. Definitely something small and comfortable for something with a Qwerty. Given that I have to carry around a Blackberry too and considering the other Qwerty devices, this was well done. The menus take a while to get used to and is a little different than other phones. Battery life for me was fairly decent. I charge daily anyway so not an issue and you are given two batteries. Data speed was good and a little faster even than the Dopod 838 Pro I was previously using. WiFi is fine though I had problems finding the MAC address as I MAC filter on my router. There are lots of features built-in which does make it quite good and things like HSDPA does make it technology-rich in such a small package. Now the negatives, which is the one reason I'm going to get rid of it as soon as I can find something to switch too: My biggest gripe is the poor reception. I think I figured out what's going on as I'm a telco guy - the phone does a poor job of switching from 3G to 2G (they need a better algorithm). Instead it tries to hang onto the 3G signal. This means you get a lot of dropped calls when your 3G signal becomes weak (instead of switching over to a 2G signal for example). Having said that, I've even had dropped calls on a 2G network. This is really the first phone I've had in sometime that actually just "drops" the calls. Very annoying. I didn't realise that the i600 was a Windows Mobile 5.0 SMARTPHONE rather than a full WM5 (probably too excited to get the phone than read the specs in detail) and hence a lot programs and things I had that worked on my previous WM5 device didn't work on this. Had I known, this would have been a very NEGATIVE selling point. Issues like what others bring up about editing Word files or past programs that I have for WM like WorldMate, Skype, IM, etc. don't work now. A good example of the shortcomings of this "lite" version of WM5 smartphone is that you CAN'T sync your Outlook Notes. Samsung figured this out late as they now have a download program you have to install to do this. It does take some time to get used to the screen being more "horizontal". All things appear so small. Pictures, web pages, etc. I definitely prefer a bigger screen. A smaller, vertical screen would actually feel larger because images fit better - and we're more used to it. The keys are also very small and too close together. I keep mistyping which is really annoying for a Qwerty device. It's also not very sensitive as I usually hold down the shift button, press a letter, only to have that letter be lower case. Then I have to re-type it. I've managed to crash my i600 at least once every few days now. The thing goes a bit crazy and some of the buttons won't work. To solve this, you can turn it off or you can go to the Task Manager and try to 'Stop' all the programs. That usually works but is nevertheless annoying. Don't try to use too many programs at once without properly closing them first in the Task Manager. Also the settings are a bit weird because when I took it with me on my travels, at first it wouldn't log onto a "roaming" network even when I selected Automatic. I had to manually search out the networks, select them individually, then switch back and "allow" them to be connected. May not be a Samsung i600 issue but a WM5 smartphone, but still irritating. Other issues to gripe about include the previously mentioned "dust" under the screen, the flimsy rubber covers on the ports, the difficult to remove cover for the battery and the poor camera. While I realise no phone is perfect, this one just isn't right for me. Just my 2 cents worth.

  • Has anyone had a problem syncing their I600 with their computer? After following the instructions and loading 4.0, then 4.5 of activesync it won't sync. Activesync is telling me it is trying to sync but there is no indiction of communcication with the phone. Thanks in advance Terry

  • does anyone know if you could dL programs like msn messanger or AIM on this phone? thanks

  • Can you use mpe, aac or wav files to set as SMS or email message tone to the sgh-i600? Samsung phones I've had only has preset tones for messaging, but I'm just wondering if the i600 can now use mp3 tones to use in the message tones. Anyone please advise. Thank you!

  • I got this phone today...great phone!! One bad point though...dust appear below the LCD screen. But it can be service by the Samsung customer care. Does any one know where to get a nice holder for the phone. need to protect this great investment.

  • with Opera Mobile browser 8.65 beta = fantastic !

  • ...you mean I can't edit Word & Exel on the i600 Samsung! Please advise on what meets or beats the HTC TyTn or iMate Jasjam

  • Received my SGH-i600 last week, Great phones. I''ve been very very careful with it. Not been scratched, dropped, missused in any way. But there is dust already starting to appear under the screen. Heard it might be a common problem. Anyone else got a similar problem? Can it be fixed?

  • oh wait, just realized that this is not the 'black jack' dont know anything about this phone...too bad, the black jack rules

  • I just purchased this phone and it is absolutely amazing...synchs very easily with computer and puts all my outlook directly onto the phone with ease. The features of the phone are endless and has everything you could ask for and more. Strongly suggest anyone who likes to email and run out look to purchase this phone, it will not let you done.

  • Why did Samsung take out the LED camera light? The i320 had it. That said, I want this phone! ;-)

  • I read in one review somewhere that 3rd party software for document editors are available for WM5 smartphones. Is this true? I'm seriously considering getting the i600 when it comes out locally, but lack of Word and Excel editors is a major downside for me.

  • i have a chance to look at this i600 yesterday, the price in malaysia is RM1899 and come with extra battery. With wifi and 3G. But the button is a bit bigger than i320.

  • Has anyone tried to sync their Outlook Notes with their Samsung SGH i600? It looks as if it is not possible to do this. Does anyone have an answer? thx

  • How to put video on my samsung i607?

  • I am so confused about which phone to get. Which is a better choice between the i600 and x830??? I dont really need it for much accept making calls, sms, mms, email. Just wanna get a fancy looking phone as well. Which is a better choice? Can anyone help please?

  • Just bought this mobile in the US, although it is called "black jack" and seems not having Wifi... Check it out:

  • Yes it has wifi and 3G built-in.

  • My i600 won't activate "tone" keypad sounds. It accepts only "click" or "none". Anyone has the same problem? Otherwise it's a great phone if you disregard short battery life, no mini-usb jack for charging and syncing and speaker position (ringtone gets muffled when it's positioned on its back). And yes, it has Wi-Fi integrated (unlike i607 blackjack).

  • can anyone confirm that this phone has wi-fi?

  • I just bought it few days ago, excellent phone and built quality. One of the best smartphone i ever had.

  • Great phone -just got it today . However I'm having problems with no SMS going through despite full signal (Tmobile USA) any ideas ? -help ...

  • I bought it but it says Fatal Exception with certain Sim Cards and it blocks. Be careful when you buy it!!!

  • I have just sell my nokia n95, will not buy nokia phone in future, slow, hang and the issue is the quiality of nokia is become more and more lousy, very very disappointed. Purchase the i600 recently and whao it is one of the best phone I ever had, fast respond and the built quaility is EXCELLENT. Value for money.

  • i love this phone!!!!!!!!.............NOT!!!!!!!!!

  • Dear all I just purchased mine.I was looking forward to get this phone since I saw it on the site..For the last two years I was using a D600E and I was more than happy with the phone!In fact I have a problem changing the phones all the time I thhing is my hobby,but just lately I realized that! As I was needing a phone that hae wifi and is at least 3G I bought first N80 even I never liked Nokia...I don't understand why I should spend so much money on a phone that cracks and is disgusting finished! You can have the same features from SonyEricsson or Samsung or LG on a lower price. Don't think is something specila inside...once you open a Nokia it has inside the same components that any phone has,provided by different comp manufacturers. So,I bought N80...a sandwiich,but nothing to say very complex as features....everything inside.... but very hard to write mails and SMS, Besides that,thae main disavantage....baterry!!!!!!!!! What is the point to put all the features inside if the battery doesn;t last? I sold it in a week and I bought N91... Not bad,good battery....sound quality very good but only with the earphones....or else..it makes a strange noise like the speaker is broken. Trying to see if is only mine that cracks...I tried more of this.....so all were the same...... Besides,the quality of the finishing is loussy.........you might cut your palm once you open thee flip.... Camera........000000000000 I understand it has 4giga...but let's face it....165 grames....and very thik... I sold it and yestarday passing by to a shop in Italy I saw the new I600.... Believe me the phone is trully amazing..of course for somebody that needs a smarphone... If you don't need it it would be raher dificult to learn how to use it.....but eecvnh thou,the menu is very intuitive,good finishing,very thin,packed with functions,the battery is more that good,...and I payed for all this 440 euros plus a mini sd 4giga..45...so for less than 500 I have a smarphone thtat,believe me you van not have from any other manufacturer.... Besides that,once again once you kkep the new Samsung I600 in your hand you will never want to look for any other phone...

  • How can I write the _ ???

  • can you download pda programs here?

  • Just bought mine from Welectornics! will be here tomorrow. I'll let you guys know. Gonna be using it on Tmobile USA

  • It was suck! I thought this one was the i607 blackjack! AFTER I got it I found out it didn;t have those important functions! Cingular is soooo tricky!!!

  • This phone can't work on GSM900 Band...

  • To the person who said the i320 is the blackjack. Thats not true! the blackjack is the i607 the i320 is different phone all together. I recently visited the samsung store and they had the i320 and the blackjack beside each other and they are quite different.

  • u see on this page.. it clearly shows "Available" ... and its available... my work mate got one.. and it has Wi-Fi and HSDPA ( but this fucntion not availble yet.. from Vodafone.. only work slow 3G)

  • You'll be able to purchase this phone next week because this phone is not officially release yet. The FCC approved this phone on first week of February. Samsung will start shipping this phone as early as next week. You can conact WElectronics or go on there website and get there number and call them in regards to the phone, i called them thay said next week wednesday they'll have it in stock.

  • i600 is already available..-_-;; what r u talking about..

  • Samsung i600: Wifi, triband, HSDPA, EDGE Samsung i607 (BlackJack): No Wifi, Quad Band, No HSDP, Edge these are two different phones! Keep this in mind! Blackjack is already available, and the i600 will be available within a month

  • this phone is the best smartphone currently.. has everything.. also HSDPA (3.5G) is good to have for fast internet.. it is also better then SE P990i... its much slim and lighter.. then any other smartphone... inc. HTC range.

  • i600 is not called "blackjack!" if you knew any better then you would know i320 was givin the name"blackjack!" Both look simular,but different like night and day. i600 does have wifi and runs really smooth. so those of you who wanna get the i600 ...DO IT! its a really good phone!! but please note there are some bad batches out there and you might recieve a broken phone. or messed up battery. always use the phone until the battery is about to die and charge it over night for the best performance. then you can charge it whenever you need to. also know that car charges will decrease the life of ur battery if you charge it for more then 15 minutes.

  • Hi, I read in some website that the processor speed is only 220MHz. Is it true? Can anyone tried the phone and give feedback to this post? Its all about what time the phone's need to open applications. Don't want to wait too long. Thanks in advance.

  • The samsung i600 will be launched in the first week of april in India.. And yes it has wi-fi.. Does any one know how is the response speed of the processor in multi-tasking?

  • Question: Does the contact menu shows a repeat of your contacts because it shows both from the sim card and the phone database. And is it possible to choose from the settings to show contacts from the sim or phone only. Thanx all:O)

  • Its called the black jack and is available in us with cingular carrier.... and it doesnt have wifiiiiiiii......... [email protected]..... its a good phone tho....

  • Anyone know that this Samsung i600 have WIFI in it? u can email me @ [email protected]. thnxs really want it to knw whether this phone have WIFI in it or not? thnxs 4 ur help......

  • I've been using the Treo 600 for abt 2 yrs now and im considering the i600. Does anybody know if it is going to be launched in the Indian Market soon? & secondly, does the camera hv a flash & can it playback mp4 audio & video? anyhelp would be much appreciated

  • This site lists this phone as avaliable but i can't find it anywhere. every site that i've found that lists it actually sells the blackjack instead, which lacks wifi, rss news reader, podcast reader, and voice control and dialing. it don't see any reason to switch from my i320n to the blackjack since they are nearly identical phones except for bluetooth 2.0 and an externally accessible memory card. does anyone know where you can buy the unbranded and real samsung i600 and not the neutered and impotent blackjack?

  • I use this phone for "blackberry" function only. And it works great. For call purpose, i use d900. Like both phones and have no plan to change them for the next 3 years.

  • One more thing. Does anyone know what the talk time of the i-mate Ultimate 9150 is compared to the I600? The I600 claims 6.5 hours talk time, this is unclear for the i-mate. Its so fully loaded, its hard to imagine good talk time. These are both in my consideration set. Any views?

  • I am just about to get rid of the very disappointing Nokia E70 (slow and serious bugs that cause it hang and crash very often). I am seriously considering the I600. Does anyone know how well it interfaces with Microsoft exchange (as push mail)? In other words, will I be able to synchronize with our office microsoft exchange?

  • I've personally have used this model. It's screen reso is as clear as crystal. Camera clarity is very fine despite of 1.3MP only if im not mistaken. The processor is pretty fast. The battery life is good for 2 days inspite of non stop sending sms and calling. Aside from that, the generous samsung gives an extra battery. Almost every features it has, but it lacks one thing only -- touchscreen, but no need anyhow, buttons are users friendly. Ill rate this 5 stars.

  • can it be used for chating

  • USB 1.1???? why not 2.0? i'll never understand phone companies. If your gonna release a phone that does everything then let it do just that "everything". I still might get one of these =)

  • what about the battery ?

  • is the screen resolution good??? since its only 65k colors... how much worse than a 256k is it????

  • I was going to get this but they took so long to roll it out (it is still not out here in Asia) and (since it is only tri-band +WM5) I might as well just wait one more month and get the quad band moto Q9 with WM6

  • I've got it, with Vodafone Spain for enterprises. QUITE GOOD!

  • no the phone does not come with the stylus its not a touch screen phone it has a button to scroll around like the blackberry pearl

  • hey guys, this phone comes with a stylus pen rite?

  • Check out the Blackjack forum, www.myblackjackphone.com. Its a decent resource if you have the phone.

  • let me rephrase, when does i600 come to US? not blackjack

  • To the guy above, the Blackjack here in america is known as the I607. Granted it doesn't have the secondary camera for video conferencing but it comes with 3G/ UMTS/ HSDPA. Which I find strange as Cingular is offering the Blackjack for 300 with a new contract and yet european websites are offering the i600 for $900-$1100!!

  • when is this coming to USA? I'm not 100% sure the 2 websites advertised here carry this EXACT phone.

  • was excited to buy this phone but with the new range of nokia and imate phones sorry samsung this phone suddenly is not that attractive. you guys just took too long a time to launch it.

  • to the confused person BlackJack is Samsung i320 not i600. Blackjack doesnt have Wifi.There is no front cam either cos,its not 3G.

  • Nizar, are you sure that this phone is available with wifi? Let me know where to buy it?

  • Samsung i600 is at least a month away from being released in the Middle East. But it will be the best smartphone available at the price which will be around $ 480 to $ 500 retail.

  • The Blackjack is going to be amazing, I found a community dedicated to the phone. Check it out if you have one

  • well i just spoke to axiom dubai and sorry i thought it was out last week but it will be out sometime this week. i just spoke to them today.

  • Hi just wan't to know? If this phone support OGG media files for ringtones? Thanks...

  • nizar r u sure from your info ???/

  • we are lucky. OS X and Simbian 9.x now almost can not work with Windows Vista. I think around 1 or 2 years later ... Congratulation!!!!!!

  • good features. the thing i dont like is that the keypad is too small and close together. Its just too hard to type something without hitting the wrong key

  • The phone listed on popularelect.com is the blackjack. The specs mention nothing about WiFi or about the front vga camera that the i600 has. If anyone knows differently please let me know. Thanks

  • I just purchased the i607 from cingular but now i'm contemplating on the i600 because of the wireless, any suggestions? & what is 3G?

  • You can purchase this phone at www.popularelect.com $549

  • looks like calculator!

  • the i600 will be available in dubai from tuesday or wednesday of next week. you can get it from axiom stores which are everywhere in dubai. it will be about $500 without a contract.

  • has anyone found this? Welectronics is selling the I607 the BlackJack - I cant seem to find this phone? if anyone has found it please let us know... :)

  • BlackJack is a quadband GSM, meanwhile i600 is a triband GSM which is a mistake (c'mon we are in globalization era, quadband is amust!) .

  • You have to know where to look and never buy contract phones because they make the money off your buy, the cingular edition is locked and poor software, and does not have the 3G , (i607 if i'm not wrong) meanwhile the i320N is 100% the same as the cingular one, just an unlocked version with a different model, try to compare them you will not find one difference (only software) which i always prefer the unlocked ones they are much more better.

  • This is similar to Cingular Blackjack but the downside of Blackjack is NO WIFI and no Front Camera :(..... why US have to get crappy version of everything This phone sell in Asia under Samsung Ultra Messaging i600 I'm going to see if i can get my hand on this version not the Blackjack OH and there is no internal GPS what up with that?

  • No, this phone does not have a touch screen, it is a windows mobile smartphone not a pocket pc

  • does this phone have a touch screen?????

  • does this phone have conferencing functin with an audible speaker similar to nokia 9500

  • It doesnt have a flash for the camera.

  • It will use EDGE here there is no 3G

  • Display just 65K, WTF?????

  • No this fone is not quad-band. Its Tri-band with HSDPA

  • Hey, does anyone know if this phone is quad-band? Thanks

  • does it have flash for the camera? its not stated...

  • Does this phone has a stero speaker(s) or not?I see this phone has an all functions.like nokia n93 except camera.Will it gonna become a bestbuy,we will wait to see

  • The "black jack" on microsoft is the cingular based model which is a lesser phone, the "black jack" does not have a extra camera, nor does it support HSDPA data, this phone is the next model up, that has yet to have been released

  • features seems to be gr8.... it beats the nokia e 61..... it has OS mic.5.. but display is jus65k now days mob comes wid 16m colors tat features best pic quality ny way its superb phone i luv samsung for the cam quality ans phone speed

  • does this phone really have wifi? cuz on microsoft it says that is doesn't. microsoft calls it the blackjack.

  • Ya this is what all are waiting for and does this have a windows media player 10, hope this comes affordable in INDIA, as most of us would prefer to get this.

  • I think this would be a great phone, but does this have a windows media player, and why does this not have EDGE..., hope it could be affordable as many are waiting to get one like this in INDIA.

  • I don't get it.. so there are 2 different i600 for Samsung? what's the one released by Samsung in 2004 for Verizon?

  • I can't wait to have this phone!

  • hi everyone... believe me, dis fone is cool... got it last christmas

  • Y9Ae said that Wi-Fi/No-3G i600, no-WiFi/3G i607 (Blackjack). I think that i600 has both Wi-Fi and 3G.

  • 1. This is NOT the Blackjack. 2. This is quad band GSM, usable on Cingular US. 3. This is UMTS 2100, NOT usable on Cingular US. 4. Your real choice is: Wi-Fi/No-3G i600, no-WiFi/3G i607 (Blackjack). For me, with email a priority, Wi-Fi is irrelevant. Cingular EDGE is plenty fast for that. Although I have 3G in the Boston area, EDGE is also good enough for my important web sites. Certainly its coverage is better than Wi-Fi.

  • blackjack has a wifi antenna, its just not enabled by cingular. Does this phone have the N. American wcdma frequencies that Cingular uses for 3G - 850/1900, or Euro 3G of 2100Mhz? I have the blackjack, btw. Even without wifi, the HSDPA is awesome and the phone is not crippled. Wifi would be nice, but after having 3g for a month, I don't even notice the lack of wifi.

  • the 10 mega pixel phone everyone is talking about is a cdma phone and not a gsm....see this

  • Looks like this phone is going to be a hotseller. Too bad some people will be buying the Blackjack thinking it is the i600. Just keep your receipt so you can return it. Also it is obvious to point out that this phone doesn't match HTC's products, after all what does HTC specialize in?

  • for me I have been looking for a phone just like a BlackBerry yet all releases do not support 3G. Now this phone supports it great !! Ill buy it

  • the 10megapixel had only release in korea,while gsm user,the highest is 3.2megapixel.then i hope samsung release 5megapixel as fast as possible cause LG already release their 5megapixel.10megapixel must wait.

  • Hi, Will it be optional to have Word and Excel? Does it support skype? What is the processor speed? Greetings and good holidays

  • Samsung has already announced whooping 10-Mega Pixel Samsung SCH-B600. Why go for 5MP less?

  • when samsung going to release a 5megapixel phone?!!!!!!!!!i can't wait samsung come on.to win the market u must be the first and trend!!

  • Guys This phone is not BlackJack and is more advanced than BJ. Those who gone buy BJ-i607 wait for a month. This phone will be released in the first quarter of 2007.If it comes to Business class phone i love Nokia E61 but this phone is a real killer of E61, Sony Ericsson M and P series, Motorola Q, LG and in particular Blackberry.

  • OK fine all those who this fine is the Blackjack lets create a world for you and call it..(the matrix) cos in the matrix anything is possible. And those who believe this phone is not the Blackjack....just stay where you are cos the matrix is about to be destroyed.

  • Not as good as HTC's devices but as a Samsung fan, I love it! Still, for a smartphone or PDA, I think any user who knows his stuff would still appreciate HTC better.

  • guys i like this phone so much ...!!!! usually i don't like samsumg cause most of the time itshasn't so much power normal phons for normal users i have now nokia 7710 but i'm looking for something more simple as 7710 so big :) and hevey.... i was thinking of nokia E61 but i think this one would be so much better better as its windows mobile + its nice look and 1.3 MP cam not bad ...

  • This phone (samsung i600) is not the same as the Samsung Blackjack, also known as the samsung i607. They are alike in everyway, except the i600 is wifi enabled, and it has a 2nd camera on the front of the phone used for video calling. Basically the Blackjack is a stripped down version of the i600.

  • ...This is the blackjack and it does come with WIFI, also known as I606 or I607. cellularchoice in toronto is selling these already, cingular tho... looks cool, looks similar to the i320

  • "i have being using this phone for 3 weeks now all i can say s0 far operations run at 99% the blackjack is better cause its quad band unlike the triband i600 and when you have a 3g enable phone with hspda you dont need wifi its to blazing quick" The i600 is quadband look at the spec sheet. the blackjack is a waste of money compared to this.

  • i like fat phone like this , cool

  • i don think this is the blackjack because black jack dont come with wifi, I already asked cingular about it, and this one does...anyone with similar issues?

  • Nothing in common between HSDPA's speed and WiFi - WiFi is free or cheap compared to mobile internet. There aren't so many HSDPA enabled carriers around. No idea why you compare WiFi and HSDPA at all...

  • THIS PHONE IS NOT THE BLACKJACK. Anyways anyone know where I can get one in the US because I don't want the NO WI-FI version.

  • this phone is the blackjack, what're you talking about?

  • i have being using this phone for 3 weeks now all i can say s0 far operations run at 99% the blackjack is better cause its quad band unlike the triband i600 and when you have a 3g enable phone with hspda you dont need wifi its to blazing quick

  • Hello WM user,this phone runs WM smartphone, i760 is pocket PC phone, ALL CPU 520, 2->3.5 G, wifi g, touchscreen, full keyboard(usefull for compose, chat, action game...)put in D600 body. I stop its dream because its prize >$800

  • You unfortunately failed to notice, that this phone also has Wi-Fi, so it is a whole lot better than the Cingular BlackJack. I don't really understand why Cingular got the stripped down version of this i600, instead of the one already available. Obviously, Samsung had to make this crap (BlackJack) especially for Cingular. Shame!

  • This phone is the same as the Cingular Blackjack except that this phone has a secondary camera for video call. I don't know how long I have to wait for this phone to come out. It's the best windows phone with 3G HSPDA.

  • eeeeeeewwwwwwwww this phones gross

  • tis phn i can said one word are execellent because got everything customer onw like wifi,bluetooth,memory card n camera.... good

  • It's confirmed this phone does have the 850 band making the blackjack useless.

  • GSM 850?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • the mobile looks like a blackberry only thing is that the screen looks to small to make it a phone with PDA function i like the fact that its HSDPA which means its faster speed and so forth but the fact the screens to small not a good idea

  • WTF!!!!!! Why the hell doesnt the blackjack have WiFi?? I'm getting sick of the American market getting 2nd rate products from companies.

  • this is not the blackjack!! the blackjack doesn't have wifi; this one does.

  • Been testing this phone, battery life time is VERY much improved in comparison with i320. I am quite a heavy user, but I would say the battery lasts about 2 days.

  • is this phone really have quadband GSM? rumor said its lacking of GSM850

  • theres too maqny samsungs to keep up with

  • the blackjack has 5.5 hours of talk time

  • This is NOT the Blackjack. The Blackjack is the i607. The Blackjack/i607 is missing Wifi where as the i600 has wifi.

  • This phone has already been launched by Cingular under the name BlackJack. Its a nice phone, i have it myself.

  • i just got this handset from Cingular. its called "BLACKJACK" and so far its serving its purpose...cheers!

  • is it possible for me to use the blackjack if i have a t-mobile carrier?

  • This Phone is out for Cingular in the United States.

  • isn't this same as blackjack on cingular? I'm suprised that major carrier brought the phone before it was even released to the market!! now only if Cingular actually worked on their network services all would be good

  • been using the i607 blackjack for cingular which is the same model with no wifi and or video calling. call quality has been very good so far. few dropped calls so far. sadly im in LA so there is no hsdpa over here so i cant comment on internet speed. edge is slow as heck unfortunately. processor is slow too. also cant compose word docs. on the positives its a very sleek phone and does a good job turning heads. call volume is solid. browser is a bit annoying because you have to delete every letter to type in a new address. key pad is good. love the track wheel and it runs ok with the sd card. i still hate the pull email. i like this phone but ill prolly go back to my blackberry. not the greatest phone in my opinion.

  • Is it possible to add a mp3-file for when you receive a SMS?

  • Just about perfect. Just hope the batterie life is improved over the Blackjack.

  • Looks good but will it go on to beat imate models like jas jam. Touchscreen will be missed.

  • Because of short battery life in i320 I would appreciate if someone can tell how is the i600 battery life. Thks

  • This thing will kick ass nokia E61!

  • unfortunately guys. this one got no touchscreen. it cannot edit word or excel. it can only edit .txt files. i got a samsung i320, which is its younger brother. short battery life, easy one handed use, beautiful and really bright screen, very limited functions. it is all windows os to blame! not samsung's fault.

  • yup, must agree, sometime touchscreen is more annoying, just compare between tablet pc and laptop for example, touchscreen took a lot of good feature away

  • I think this is the perfect model, I tried the i320 and it was good but lacking WLAN and 3G and now these features are available in this model. and It is PERFECT because there is no touch screen, try the Nokia E61i and see how perfect the phone will be with windows mobile 5 OS without touch screen. It is just amazing and i am sure about buying this one. I dont' care about the battery life. I use Samsung X820 and very comfortable about it.

  • i think it's tow expansive but very nice&easy to use.

  • well i'm glad to be the first one who write some thing about this new piece of art well i have i-mate now but i love samsung and i was waiting for a mobile working on windows mobile, i hate nokia so i was waiting for this thank you samsung and for sure i will buy it no doupt

  • low power processor ,no fm radio no sleek looks are the great disadvantages to this phone

  • No touch screen?! hmm. I'll stick to P990i. Samsung arent very good with PDA's.

  • bigger display = bigger phone and more batt consumption... No this isn't blackjack. this is blackjack + WiFi + secondary cam for video call - 850mhz band :-)... ergo, this is made for asia and europe

  • is this the blackjack? the one sold by cingular?

  • Has this phone got a touch screen? It is running on WM5 or the Smartphone edition?

  • I may not realize from the photo but the display is reather small. No touch screen?....too bad samsung made an incomplete model. With a bigger display + touch screen it would have been perfect.

  • Whats the point with qwerty keybord if we cant edit documents?

  • cooooool!

  • A trio of slim beautiful phone!
