Ups: - Sleek design with cool touch sensitive keypad and durable reflective casing - Comfortable keypad - Fast built-in web browser (I compared the browser with Mini Opera, and the built-in one was faster and more comfortable to use) - Reads .pdf documents - Nice, clera sound (but low on the bass) - Nice camera (though no flashlight) Downs: - Can't install JAVA via PC-copying (must be done through downloading)

  • Hi, a new mobile company opened up in Malta and theyre giving away free phones and this is 1 of them. Is it worth getting and is it femminine?

  • It is a cute phone, very feminine. Screen is extremely small and the battery doesn't last more then 24hrs on standby. My phone is one week old. Otherwise I think it is a good phone from Samsung. Malta

  • got this fon just yesterday here's what i found out: -doesn't connect with a MAC thru blutooth and wired -playing videos is frustrating -no flash -cant use wav files as msg alert tone (only as ringtone) thats it for now *how do i change the default settings of the text font smaller in inbox?

  • this phone is also available in ruby red..i bought it yesterday haha! slim and stylish..the camera is good even without flash! try havin pics at daytime haha! or always bring flashlight! lol. the sound is good..and hey! fast reception! the only problem is the screen..this phone i think is intended for those who have good eyesight! Haha! so if you're blind..this is not the right phone for ya! haha! i asked the sales lady why is that the screen is sooo small..she said that's bec. it has touch pad..but you see if you view pics in it you can zoom that..and watching videos..just fine just make sure you're alone watching!so you won't argue with the screen haha! and it has doc viewer..hey guys it has a mem card slot inside..and by the way it has 2 themes, blue and white..why is that there's no black..ilove that! u'll have 3 choices of wallpapers..pictures, living world, my screen..oh! how i love this phone! after using sgh-u600..i've been lovin samsung phones then..i'm telling you compared to other brands like nokia(yuck! haha!) gosh! this is worth buying! samsung! rock on!

  • try to call your service provider w/c is globe..

  • The front camera is used to make video calls that is why it's asking for the number to call.

  • I like this phone...

  • simply as it is...just be more quiet simply as it is,for much just as small enlargement of the screen and,seems to be perfect!

  • ..nice slim phone,create more just as like that..

  • It's a nice slim phone.

  • Can I ask if this phone is suitable for guys? or is it too feminine?

  • No Clear button when typing in browser text box

  • Hi guys! Has anyone tried pairing this phone to a bluetooth headset (a headset dedicated for superb music expirience)? What can you say about the sound quality? I have plans in buying one but hesitant due to possible disappointments...Really love the phone!

  • Thanks for the immidiate response guys, I really appreciate it! I just kept on turning from umts to gsm and vice versa and then finally it worked! Now mobile browsing is extremely fast even just by using EDGE. A very compact phone, small screen though.

  • It looks nice to my eys, but I look back to its screen, it's really disappointed.

  • It's a great phone!!!

  • Have you configured your Phone for 3G/MMS/etc... etc...?

  • it is better if you go direct to globe and ask them why... there are new cphones that can't be configured immediately and the network still have no means in connecting or configuring them... but still go to the nearest wireless center of globe...

  • what a small screen!

  • Guys, got a real trouble here. Got the phone days ago. I am here in the philippines and subscribed under globe. Whenever I try to connect to the internet it keeps on saying "service unavailable." The 3g symbol appears and the signal is strong but still I cant connect. Help...

  • ilovethelooks....... ohhyeah!!! sexy!

  • i love my phone! mwuah!

  • im praying beyond 24/7 to get this fone.. :)

  • can any0ne tell me h0w t0 install a game in this ph0ne?! its file f0rmat it (.jar) an he other one is (.jad). i downloaded it from mobilerated.com

  • pls help how to operate the front camera...i mean using it without having the box below that asking to input the number to call on..

  • i just bought the phone a coupe of days ago. It sooooooo great, and I discover a way to prolong the battery life. Goto setting and change the network mode from automatic to gsm900/1800, since the network is in automatic search default it automatically detect the 3g network in your local area and it consume alot of battery power. I hope it works with your phone.

  • i cant find where i can operate the front camera...can u help me???

  • yah..i agree..;)

  • i lurve it!

  • This phone's cool. I really love it. Wery sleek and cute.

  • i've got it from my boss, i can customize ring tone and sms. very slim but little screen. over all it's OK.

  • since i got this phone my friends notice it all the time they say its an executive phone/the design the features/is very unique

  • I don't think there is a memory card. but i heard it can support up to 4gb or 8gb using microSD.

  • keypad is not really small. just that i think it's kinda hard and a bit frustrating if one text a lot.

  • im gonna buy this phone coz i think its cute..haha..and based on your comments I think I wont waste my money in buying it..in the Phils. it costs 12000php..whew thats alot money for a student like me..i just wannt know is there a memorycard included in the package?

  • was looking for 3G phone and happens to opt buying this model. 3G works well and u can use it as a modem, which works faster as well at 230kbps. Specs wise, pretty good!! only that it has small screen and small keypad.

  • looks very solid. but battery consumption a little high for this as phone screen is not very big.

  • Unless one really don't mind small screens. This phone is actually quite stylish. But I would think if you focus too long on the screen, it would be straineous for the eyes. and now the most common on phones is 2.0" at least. But it's got nice exterior. JUst wish they would include microSD memory card with it. So as to store more photos, music.. etc.

  • does anyone know if the ringtone can be customized? cause for some reason im not able to customize it at all it sucks

  • nice design: flat, and feels good in de hand; the weekest point is the battery

  • nice and perfect!!!!!

  • Does Any one Knows What Is The Max JAR Size or Heap Size Supported On This Handset?

  • nice phone.....

  • Is there anyone here who have this phone? Can someone tell me what they think about it? Good and bad.... Thanks...

  • Can you customize the SMS tone?

  • I Would buy this Cell Phone i love it but i am not going for it because the Screen is soo Small! I have to go with LG Shine KE770..

  • hp very nice look class and also very cheap (selling price)

  • its gorgeous...gorgeous...gorgeous...

  • very nice phone, but the screen is too small.........

  • Looks very Nice... works Fast... Low price tag

  • Butiful phone, has a small, but very good quality display. Small size - ultra. Looks good for the girl. Internet works very good.

  • Talk time Up to 2 h 50 min whaa....ha..ha.. good job samsung!

  • sorry, i forgot to mention the small display. Well, its really small, but you are not supposed to watch movies on your mobile. for SMS, menu and phone applications its really worth its money.

  • really nice phone, small in size but huge in function, well its camera has got no flash, so you need some external light source. its just a nice, sweat, snuggling mobile. no pda function, no extras, just a good mobile!

  • I thought this phone was a slide at first lol. Anyway, the specs are ok i suppose. But the battery life is really poor!! Also, you know the camera is meant to have a flash..... but the pictures does not show this. So are these the official photos?

  • i'd get it, it seems sickk

  • Atleast Samsung is getting to be a little bit innovative and unique.... good for LG too.

  • OMG this phone looks soo sleek & hot y'all...it reminds me of Mercedes Benz cars...I mean,I just imagine myself having an SLK & with this thing in my hand...damm...I think I'll buy this thing when it comes out,jut to fulfill a part of my fantasy ;-D Oh & about the specs...I mean,guys,what do you want more?2 mpx camera is good for your day to day snaps,if you want higher just buy a freaking N95...there are options,you know? & the screen...belive me,after you lived with a samsung F300 every screen is a big one ;-D

  • 1.6ins?? Decent spec, good looking (especially keypad) but why the tiny screen?

  • hi 2all, its a rally bad phone, just 1.6 lcd!!! i had u600 for a week, week battry and very slow proccessor!!! and very slow read from memory card, i love SE!!!

  • where is the camera flash in the picture?

  • THIN! Weak camera though. Autofocus and flash saves it. Cool design. Slider wannabe?

  • The image really plays with your eyes cause it thought at first it was a slider phone, well that was cool, lol :)

  • Um, that was weird. When I posted the first comment the phone was towards the bottom and now it's the first phone.

  • Woah, it has a somewhat cool design. Lacks in features, though.
