Samsung SGH-G600 Reviews

CNET Asia reviews the Samsung SGH-G600 and writes;

“Call quality on the G600 was very good–it’s something Samsung noticeably takes very seriously. Calls sounded loud and clear but the speakerphone was relatively quiet and could have been much louder. ”
Rating: ★★★★☆

IT Reviews reviews the Samsung SGH-G600 and writes;

“From a full charge we got almost nine hours of continuous music. Even better, after the phone decided to stop music playback it kept going for a total of 20 hours 20 minutes, and we were able to make voice calls throughout this time…Forget about the 5-megapixel camera, which is a bit of a red herring, and concentrate instead on the good design, nice features and extremely impressive battery life.”
Rating: N/A

PMA07 reviews the Samsung SGH-G600 and writes;

” A combination of tight outlines and round forms make sure the camera looks good, but not overly prominent. Even a business man will fall for the design of the Samsung G600. The handset comes in dark grey with three silver colored buttons on the front side. Directly beneath the screen we see a raised edge to slide the mobile open, this edge could have been made a bit higher, because now your finger will slip past it at times.”

Samsung SGH-G600 video review by Mobilesift;

LetsGoMobile reviews the Samsung SGH-G600 and writes;

“All in all, the Samsung G600 performs well, in spite of the few points for improvement. For those who fall for the design of the Samsung G600 and those who like to have a 5 megapixel camera, the Samsung G600 is recommended.”
Rating: ★★★½☆

RegHardware reviews the Samsung SGH-G600 and writes;

“The handet’s slim, elegant, understated and solid in the hand. Taking and making calls, the quality of the G600 is top-class too. We experienced clear calls, good reception and an all-round very reliable performance.”
Rating: ★★★★☆

TrustedReviews reviews the Samsung SGH-G600 and writes;

“The SGH-G600 is a very good slider mobile that’s pleasant to use, with some great touches. The 5-megapixel camera is very good, though not quite good enough for the more discerning to want to leave their point-and-shoot digicam at home. ”
Rating: ★★★★½

PCAdvisor reviews the Samsung SGH-G600 and writes;

“The MP3 player and FM radio produce good sound quality, despite the need for proprietary headphones, while the Google Search function might not be revolutionary but it’s certainly useful.”
Rating: ★★★☆☆

Samsung SGH-G600 Video Preview by T3;

3G reviews the Samsung SGH-G600 and writes;

“Samsung is intending to break into the 5 megapixel plus market in a big way and have made an impressive entry with the Samsung G600. No 3G but if you want a highly specifed camera phone this one needs to be checked out.”
Rating: ★★★☆☆

Pocket-Lint reviews the Samsung SGH-G600 and writes;

“As a phone, the G600 is a solid number that doesn’t push the boundaries, but then, is likely to appeal to many. If you were tempted by the U600 but not sure about those magic touch sensitive keys then this is definitely for you. As for the camera? The offering here is as almost as good as the Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot range and certainly as good as the Nokia N95.”

There is nothing wrong with the battery, this is because u have the phone set to Samsung PC Studio USB Mode

Terrible phone. The text tone cannot be changed, the predictive texting holds around 5 of your own words then forgets them after a few messages. It is also slow, big and bulky and overall a VERY bad phone.

Just bought G600 2 days back.. and am pretty happy with it and its features….the only thing that I cannot figure out is how to configure pop/smtp access for my gmail account.

If anyone has it working, please give me the procedure.

Great phone, but I can’t get Messenger to work. I get it free for six months, so I want to use it, but whenever I try to sign on, it just won’t load. On the rare occasion it does load, none of my contacts load, and I can’t communicate with my friends??

Where am I going wrong??
