Had my samsung D600 for 6 years and its still working perfectly ! I love the small size and the reliability ! Shame they dont make phones like it anymore.

I have had my samsung d600 mobile phone for four years, during which time i have dropped it numerous amounts of times by accident int both the shower the bath and on one ocasion i unfortunatly dropped it in a stream. I have also dropped it on the floor somtimes from a fair height but never once has it needed repair, I have luckerly not had a single problem with it, and it has out lasted four of my sisters mobile phones which for varies reason have needed repair or have been beond repair and she has been forced to buy a new one. But still my samsung d600 is still working without a problem, the only critism i would give the mobile is the battery is not very good at all, but if you can live with that it is a brilliant mobile a certainly worth the money.

I love my Samsung D600 - I was a Nokia fan but switched to Samsung as loved the features. It is so easy to use, has large text and numbers (great for those who are "visually challenged!" and good sound and camera/video quality.
Sound/Camera/video quality is excellent. Good tones generally and good alarm alert (alarm still goes off if you activate the quiet mode - useful to know for those who go to meetings etc!)
Extra large numbers when typing in a phone number is great. Colour and a good size screen is good too.

I have had the Samsung D600 phone for 3 years now, it is amazing, wouldn't change it for the world. I have dropped it many times, and it doesn't scratch at all!
Has never ever frozen.
Always works.
NICE shape, its like a small stone, pebble thing.

I am totally lost since I dropped my Samsung D600 phone and the display got damaged. Looking for one in India, as I dont seem to get adjusted to any other phone.

I decided to buy one of these off the internet after my Samsung Z500 died after drowning during a ride at a theme park.. The D600 so far has been a phone that feels good to hold, and if you are after a quite-cheap slider phone, get one of these. It looks, however, like the Samsung C300, although a C300 has no camera or any other features, for example.. this phone is an alternative at around a few pound more and has more features unlike the C300.
The good points are it takes some great photos! My Z500 had a 1 or 1.3 MP camera when this has a 2MP camera. It works better outside or in bright light, overcast light can deteriorate the clearness of the photos, works better outside or near a window. It can open Microsoft Word Documents from a MicroSD.. except the Memory Card I had with my Z500 didn't work in it..
This has been a problem. The MicroSD wasn't compatible and now I'm trying to find one that is compatible. I try to format it in the D600 and it is unable to.
The screen resolution is brilliant and the menu is well laid out. No need to use the manual when the phone can work with the keypad (1-9) or the control pad (up/down/left/right). The screen it appears after you have slid the top screen above the keypad has an excessive advantage in accessing an oncoming SMS or MMS message. Using the camera using this 'bar' at the left of the screen quickly is great for quick access.
The phone is locked. You can press a key when the top screen is down above the keypad and it appears locked unless you press the left softkey and then the right softkey.
The menu is set out rather like the Z500 but is altered.
Overall the phone is quite good with 80MB memory and is a good business phone.

Great design with a very solid feel to it. A breeze to navigate around, no need to read a manual as the menus are so well laid out. Keys are a decent size which comes in handy for texting. Inbuilt camera takes quite decent photos even in lower lit rooms. Overall a very well designed phone. After having owned many Nokia models in the past, I'm now a Samsung convert!

This is the best of all phones. It is an all-round perfect phone that is unbeaten in my mind. I would recommend to anyone. Fantastic Battery life (lasted almost 5 days with medium usage), utterly brilliant camera for a 2mp (owned a 3.2mp and a 5mp since and they are still not as good as the D600's camera). The camcorder is fantastic. The look is pretty good and the features are good.

I just had my Samsumg D600 for 12 weeks and I would change in a minute, but I got it for a Christmas gift, so will just have to keep it

I have a Samsung D500 and inherited the D600 off my daughter who was onto the latest Nokia. I love my D500 and find the D600 generally a good phone although the battery life is poor, and why can't it slide as slickly as the D500? Aside from those two gripes I can't really fault it (especially as it was free!).

This is a good phone and would recommend it to anyone, just be sure to keep a spare battery :D

Had the D600 for six months and I use it mainly for calls and messages. It's a good quality phone with easy keying for text messages and strong, clear voice calls. I don't use the camera much but it does take good pictures. Biggest problem is battery life. 300 hours on standby? Not a chance. I keep Bluetooth off and use power saving mode but still get only 80-100 hours life. My sister has the same problem with her D600 so it's not a one-off case. Take a charger with you if you want to get the best out of this phone.

An overall good phone, ideal for people who want the extras but also want a business phone. It gives all the features that anyone could want in a phone at a budget price compared to other mobile phones. Orange is also very helpful at setting the phone up, Orange provides a 50% of you top-up each month for free which is very helpful for those people who top their phones up every other month.
I would not recommended it now, because there are a lot of better phones out at the moment, each offering new and exiting features.

The Samsung D600 is a good phone, stylish, would recommend to a friend.

This is a great phone, I would choose it over the current Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola phones available currently. A shame about the high price though, you have to hunt hard to buy it at a reasonable price.

After using this phone for over a year I cant bear it anymore and have changed back to my old Nokia.I find any task overly complicated to carry out,eg saving a phone number sent by text or anything to do with navigating around the menus. Appearance is good but software lets it down big time. First and last Samsung. Fit for the bin!!

The D600 is a great mobile phone, simailar to the D500, but very well improved: the quality of the sound, video and photos is without doubt much better.
It comes with a TV connector and a USB cable so you can exchange files with your computer. Also the connections made to the phone have a clip- on feature so your phone cannot go lost as easly!!
The 2 mega pixel camera (with flash) is attached to the main unit and not to the slider. I've got a few dud photos by putting my finger over the lens, however. On the whole it is a top phone with tons of features and I would very much recommend it.

I have had my Samsung D600 a few weeks off a year now and still I am amazed with the quality. The video and playback are excellent and I have often uploaded vids on to You Tube. The camera is also good with 2 mega Pixels.
The only thing I do not like is the texting - even after this amount of time I still can't get used to the predictive text. What I hate the most is that the the words I type the most are the ones it will automatically change eg ME always comes out as OF and AM as AN even the process of having to go back and change it I hate. I know you can change it at the time but I often forget. I also do not like the fact that there is so many buttons to press to send the text as well and the fact it does not automatically save your email in the sent box.

I found this review helpful because Clair talks about using the camera for video filming for YouTube. I made a great film of my Otters on a weir then found that Samsung saved everything in mpeg 4 which my computer could not save and therefore failed to get the film on YouTube. I use windows xp as the operating system and have media player 11 I think. I wished I had bought a Nokia which saved things as AVI files. So how did you get round mpeg 4 Clair?

Hi <br/><br/>I just saved all files to My Videos on Windows XP and then uploaded on to You Tube. I have now updated my Samsung D600 to a Nokia N95 and can safely say that the Samsung is easier to upload pictures and video's both on to my computer and online on Flicker and You Tube.

I found this review helpful because it helped me choose the right phone for me. I needed to upgrade as my Z500 died after being drenched at Alton Towers, UK and been disassembled, and the only buttons that had worked were 1, 4 and 7. <br/>This review gave me the phone that I felt was right for me. It gives clear details on functions and now I have bought one. I expect it very soon - according to this review the price I bought it was worth the £27.. I have read others but not many of them explain full details - no-one mentioned opening of Microsoft documents, etc. so thank you. :)
