Quick review

The good
Large display, easy to use interface, thin
The bad
No 3G, touch sensitive buttons
Verdict
If you're tempted by the Chocolate, but don't want to go completely touch sensitive this will meet you in the middle

  • Deeply disappointed would be an understatement with the u600. Of 6 people I know who have this pile of rubbish, 6 people hate it.
    Mine to list some of its many faults; texts show up and when pressed to read, sometimes disappear altogether.
    When sending multi page texts, have to watch it send otherwise if you shut phone, recipient will recieve broken text.
    Keeps forgetting words I put into its dictionary.
    Power management is bad, fully powered battery lasts just over a day.
    Lots of little niggly little things that go wrong from time to time and of course the touch sensitive buttons which are an absolute pain!
    Avoid this model of phone, it is absolute rubbish and some people may actually end up smashing theirs in shear frustration!

  • The samsung U600 is a completly rubbish phone to be honest!
    4 months after having had it, pixels on the screen disapeared, which had gotten worse by the next day (this had also happened to my cousin who had the same phone)
    And also, 6 months after having the phone: the touch buttons wouldn't work when slided up, so i was unable to access anything on my phone.
    Never buy this phone!
