Samsung E600 Review

Overall Rating

Really good picture and videoing quality, long battery life, photo caller id, really simple to use.

Texting is a problem and although it has video, they only last 20 seconds and you can't hear it very well. Worse of all the ringtones aren't any good!

One of the best things about the Samsung SGH E600 phone has to be its camera, it's got matrix, multi, night time and self portrait shots on it, and the quality of the pictures are really good. The videos are also good but you can't really hear them, unless that's just me (I'm still learning how to use this). The battery life is brilliant, I only charged it 5 days ago and its still got bars left, my old phone used to die in 2 or 3 days.
At first texting was a problem as its set to T9 text and you have to press a key if you want to text normally and than another key to for uppercase and another key for lowercase. But as you change from T9 to upper, and then to lower all the other keys change and suddenly the key you thought that did the space doesn't any more, it's a different key. You have to learn all the different functions of each key for each way of texting (T9, upper or lower). It's a pain at first but you do get use to it. So if you like your texting, tell your friends it may take you a while to reply to their messages. If you do get this phone be prepared to spend some money on some descent ringtones as these ones are just bad, just really, really bad.
Another problem I find is that despite it has a colour screen on the front, you can't set any pictures to it, it only has 4 different colour backgrounds and within 10 seconds of closing your phone, the front screen goes off and you have to keep opening and closing it if you just want to know something like the time or date. What's the point in that? Why can't it just be kept on?
But if you do want a camera phone this one is pretty good. I haven't had any real problems with it, it does its job and more, plus it looks pretty good while doing so.
