I'm planning on getting this phone but I've read some reviews about how this phone breaks easily and there's a lot of errors. So I'm wondering what's your opinion about it for the people who do own this phone.

my phone still works after mishandled sometimes lol.. I dropped it twice and it still works. I love this phone. The touch sensitive keys needs time to get used to but it's not annoying to use. There might b times where you're looking through your contacts and accidentally call them or something like that but if you're looking where your finger is going to go then it's fine. I definitely love the camera and the screen display. You can set your own mp3 alert for your text messages too unlike my other phone which was the D900. I just love sliding this thing lol.

Did you experience problems with the screen being weird? I use to have a Samsung D800 a long time ago and I remember there were times when half of the screen turns white then everything gets really messed up.

this phone doesnt have a strap holder right?

not at all


sadly no.

I have less experence on Samsung, I like Nokia

I like my U600.
Compared to my old Sony, this phone rarely ever "freezes"
There isn't a straphold.
And I've dropped my phone a few times (once on concrete), and there are only minor scratches.

My GF just recently bought this fone. Probably owned it for only a week. She has been having a lot of problems with the screen. It turns black often and sometimes the screen flips upside down and gets all weird and flickers @.@~

Maybe its just her phone thats like that but its kinda of disappointing that its already having such issues within just a week of use. =(

-only bad thing is that the battery really sucks if you use it alot...e.g. functions like music,internet etc...
if you limit your usage and turn it off during night (it can auto turn on at the time you set - for alarm)

-and also, if you put microSD in, and use it for music of files...it will lag..alot (takes awhile to load)

-no strap hole

-i dropped it twice on ceramic, barely a tiny dots of paint off

Loving the phone. Got it like 2 months ago or so. I personally just love the style of this phone and the unbelieveable 3.2mp camera. I initially got this phone only because it wasnt available in the US on any carrier.

But yeah the battery life does suck. Its better to turn off bluetooth when ur not using it. Limit yourself on multimedia use. Having a microSD card (depending on the capacity) may slowdown performance on the phone & the phone takes awhile to take a picture. It's good quality but slow to take nevertheless.

I've been really scared of screen problems occuring.. did she drop it or something?

I haven't experienced any problems with it at all. It's a good phone overall. Everything works really well for me, and it looks great, too. Battery life is really not that great compared to my W810i, but if you invest in another battery (~$17 more), then it won't be a problem. I just switch the battery out every other day, so I will never have to worry about battery running low. And yes, the buttons are very sensitive, but it won't be difficult to get used to.

I'll be getting this phone by the end of this week, i'll let you know if i encounter any problems =)

^ Thanks!! I'm planning to get this phone pretty soon that's why I wanted to read some reviews from other people.

i love my u600!

so far i dnt have problems with it.

my only complain is that the battery runs out rather quickly when i play songs and stuff and when u add a memory card, it lags. well when playing the music or video it takes time to start playing.

other than that, it's an awesome phone!

I just recently got the U600 in white. ^___^ I love it~ only problem I have with the phone is that it takes rather long to take a picture since there's auto focus. -.- Is there any way for me to turn that off or something?

I don't think you can.

^ Okay, thanks. Oh yeah, I was wondering if it's possible for it to not automatically save sent text messages? I can't find a way to do that. -.-

had this phone for about a week now, the only big flaw is getting used to the touch sensitive buttons (but that didn't take long)

^i dont think you can make it so that it doesnt save automatically, i might be wrong though

anyone know how to change the alarm sound? is there a way to move the clock or know a place where i can get a better template for it? -just a few things that have been bugging me

For the alarm sound, go to the alarm and change the alarm tone. I don't think you can move the clock.

so there's no strap holder means that there's no thing to hang phone charms on?

Nothing at all, but it's not too bad.

for the people who own this phone: is the screen actually a mirror when it's not in use?
i tried my friend's u600 and found that the screen wasn't very reflective =\

it's not really a mirror like the LG shine but I can see myself.

^^ It's no LG Shine, but I use it for picking food out of my teeth.

ooh darn..it'd be so perfect if the screen was actually a mirror =[

Do you guys recommend this phone? I'm in the market for new phone.

my friend has this phone and she hasn't complained so far. I LOVE IT. <33

If you have enough light you can perfectly see yourself kinda lol


I would recommend it.

I WOULD RECOMMEND [[:
its an international phone xDD
cost me 250 .
BUT I LOVE IT xDD
i have it in black. i just got it yesterday.

DID IT JUST CAME OUT ?? the U600!??

Nuguya: oh ic. that reminds me, is it hard to see what's on the screen when you're out in the sun?
since the screen is reflective and all

Yeah it's hard to see what's on screen if the it's bright out. You need to cast a shadow on the screen to see it.

The difference between U600 and U700 is only about the 3G thing right?
I want to buy this!
But, I fear about this sensitive keys.
Does this handphone has like, lock keypads?
I always tend to accidentally call and text people.
I've been using Nokia though.
Had wanted to try Samsung because my friend said she dropped it for alot of times and it doesn't spoil.
And of course, it's because of AnyBand CF!

Yes, it does lock the keypad automatically so you don't have to worry about accidently calling/texting people. I love Nokia phones but I think Samsung phones are more stylish.

yeah that's the biggest difference along with u700 only triband too.

It locks the sensitive keys when you're on a call and when it's closed. There's only 2 ways to unlock the keys and those are opening the phone and pressing the power button once.

i got my u600 over the weekend, so happy ^^
didn't know the keys were so sensitive the first time i used it...
not too fond of the camera, cause of the auto focus, but i'll get used to it
also the little lag when i play music...but not like i'm going to use as my mp3 player =p

How long do you guys usually charge your phone for? When do you usually charge it? (When only one bar left, etc.)

I charge it every night because I leave it on just in case something happened.

ARGH~!!
I will be buying a handphone this coming Friday [two days from now]
I wanted U700 but my dad told me to get U600 since I won't be using 3G function anyway.
Between U700 and U600, the difference is only the 3G thingie right?
Nothing else?
Things shown in the screen is the same?

I want U600 in silver or black, but it's only available in dark blue [which looks like black] and white [doesn't look silver].
Aigoo.

P.S.: I might be tracking down this thread for future reference after buying the product.

I always leave mine on too. I heard that it's not good to charge the battery for too much because it ends up dying really fast? I have no clue. T_T But I'm scared to charge it much because of that.

it's available in silver and black too but I don't know where you're buying it. If you're talking about the default blue it doesn't look like black in personn.

I bought it today.
No, my DAD bought it today.

It's U600.
Can I ask?
Is there anything I can do about the camera?
It's a little slow.
When I click the button, it will end up capturing 2 or 3 seconds later.

none.. it's slow like that..

But you gotta admit, the picture quality is worth that slow wait, hahaha.

I'm having a bit of trouble receiving multimedia messages

I get an error saying "unable to receive multimedia messages"

not sure why.. I have unlimited texts and I believe they're included with that service

any help? I'm with AT&T if that helps

THANKS

you have to manually set up the MMS connection. you can google for it. search for at&t mms settings and the conection settings is in the settings.

edit:
try this-
AT&TWS WAP 2.0 Settings:

or you can just ask an at&t guy to manually do it for you..

Thanks! Although the ones you suggested didn't work for me, I decided to google at&t mms settings and found one that worked

here it is just in case anyone needs it for future reference
