Samsung X600 Review
Phone rating: 
Review: August 2004. Updated October 2005.
The X600 includes most of the features that you would expect from
the current Samsung generation: VGA camera, 65,000 colour screen, polyphonic
ringtones, Java games and multimedia messaging. What's different about
the X600 is its shape: a straight design, not a flip or slide opening
design. Presumably Samsung aims to appeal to as wide a market as possible,
but it has to be said that the external aerial looks rather old-fashioned
in this style of phone. However, it's a super-lightweight phone and
that does make up for the ugly aerial. The phone also benefits from
a camera flash, making it possible to take photos after dark.
Problems with this phone are the lack of a data cable for transferring
photos to a PC, plus the small size of the display. There are also reliability
problems with this phone, which is unusual for a Samsung - the main
problem seems to be random freezing or shutting down of the phone. This
phone cannot be recommended.
The main features of the Samsung X600 are:
- 65,000 UFB display (128 x 128 pixels)
- VGA camera (640 x 480 pixels) with digital zoom, photo effects,
multishot function (up to 15 pics) and flashlight
- 40-voice polyphonic ringtones
- Java games
- Wallpaper & Screensaver
- Messaging: MMS, EMS, SMS (with learning T9)
- Data transfer: fax
- Memory: 9 Mbytes
- WAP 2.0, GPRS
- Dual Band (900/1800 Mhz)
- Size: 102 x 43 x 20 mm
- Weight: 80g
- Talktime: up to 3.5 hours
- Battery standby: up to 250 hours

I first thought that this phone is excellent... with its rotating camera,
flash, great screen display and nice audio... i thought i had the best
phone! But errrrrr... my goodness... in just 6 months, the camera broke
(it says "preview error"), the battery gets very, very warm... (maybe
it has a fever or somethin') it freezes very frequently! The worst phone
i've ever had! It is really just a waste of money! RUBBISH! Now it lays
useless in my drawer! GRRR!

I had this phone not too long ago and loved the quality and zooming
capabilities of it along with the amazingly bright flashlight that was
no match for the sony ericsson k700i. But, the external aerial is ugly
and uncool, getting in the way all the time and causing the phone to
keep shutting down when you use it, so all in all if you are anything
like me you will like this phone for a couple of months if you do not
want much from one until you get so annoyed with it you will put it
on a concrete floor and mash it until it is no more! (buy the samsung
e350 or d500!!!!)

It’s a shame, I had this phone for 10 months (even wrote a great
review here) now it lays dead, unusable, even though I’ve kept
it in like new condition. It seems that every time it uses the aerial,
the power it draws shuts it down and the phone resets over and over
till you remove the battery, must have very weak circuitry. So every
time somebody calls, I make a call or message it just resets itself.
It is still my favorite phone as now I have a second hand Nokia 6610i
(cant afford a SE K750) and there’s just no comparison the X600
is faster and better in every way I even have a Motorola E365 which
just doesn’t feel right cause the software is not user friendly
compared to the x600. I even got the Data cable for it and it really
does take excellent photos for a cheap phone, it’s a pity I couldn’t
add games to it as the built in ones were very bad. Oh well may the
Samsung X600 R.I.P. as you’ll find that this particular phone
is not even on Samsungs web site any more, looks like they have written
it off as well.

This is a great phone. Hasnt froze once. Camera is still in great cond
and its been a whole year. No probs yet. I cant seem to find then many
places tho. Great colour screen and a huge 10 MG in memory!! so much
for such a lil fone!, i can fit like 130 fotos on it before its full.
Data cable works perfectly, very easy to use and ultra fast transfering.
I can even make my own walpapers with image editor etc its so cool.
Great ringtones aswell. If u need to get a data cable, get EASY STUDIO!!!
it works fine.shame it doesnt have a radio but o well and u cant use
the vioce recorder and put it as ur ringtones but it doesnt matter.
Still great and reliable for me anyway!

recieving calls, texts can take 5-6 hours to get to teh phone, the internet

this is an ok fone. i had mine 4 about 8 months an then it got robbed
so sum1 must of liked it. i was impressed with it wen i got it. it only
cost 110 pds and it had a camera which was good in august 2004. the
bad thing about the fone tho is that white dots appeared on the screen
afta bout 5 months, they looked like a smudge but it was on the inside
and this affected the picture quality wen u took a picture. another
bad thing was tha it didnt have bluetooth or infared and the internet
was rubbish. it was a good fone last year and the rotatin camera looked
really good but i wouldnt reccomend it 2 any1 now cos fones wit blutooth
and video cameras r the best an ya cud get the 4 bout 120 pds wereas

Well I always used to wonder why people used to say negative things
about this phone, now I know, after using it for 1 year the camera has
gone dead, and the funnist part is that Samsung serice center is charging
Rs 2500 for the camera change while a brand new phone costs Rs 6500,
rally funny, now I have a phone without camera and no third party softwares
that can keep u preoccupied (without the camera) like a Nokia series
60, overall a good phone, but you will get very bored of it within months!!

ive got a question. How many people have taken their X600 in for repairs-
trust me ALL of you will and they found liquid damage on the camera
connector ?? I feel since the camera is not sealed off from the external
enviroment general corrosion will occur due to tempreature fluctuations.
No my warranty is void cause of a manufacturing flaw??

A nice phone by Samsung, i've had my model for about a year now. The
good points are the camera, you don't get many camera phones with a
camera as good as that for about £150. Good storage and games etc. Bad
points are arial at the top, the ability to not be able to download
games. I would recomend this phone to anybody it's excellent and I will
keep on using it, I was jelous of my freind when he got his Nokia 3200
which I like a lot and was planning to buy but this phone changed my

problems with it. it is the best phone i have had to date. if your looking
for a phone with just a camera because it hasn't got video etc i'd suggest
u get this one because the camera is superb for a phone. i paid £180
for mine over a year ago but i dont regret it! Its so durable and reliable,
for starters my daugher has thrown it in a hot bath, its been in a boiling
hot cup of tea! over night on a towel on a radiator and it was working
fine both times! i wouldnt recommend it throwing it in a bath however!!lol.
u can pick these up so cheap on ebay now 2. the only bad point id say
is that i haven't got a cable for tranfering pictures but apparenly
u can buy them for a fiver on ebay. I'm upgrading to a Samsung E530
tomorrow because its time for a change lets hope Samsung have done just
as good a job with that one! Well Done Samsung!!

page. i found one for mine and it works like a dream, its really quick
once u get it started. took a little while to settle down, but thats
on my part from changing from a nokia 3310 to my very sexy samsung.
never had any trouble with it appart from its in repair at the moment
because it had whisky spilt into the camara, but even then it was only
the camara that messed up, rest of the phone still worked perfectly.
i highly rate this phone, its very very VERY sexy, it looks really cool
compaired to other more common phones - a real head turner. go buy one

I have not had any of these problem the others speak of, I mean what
do they do, drop it all the time and expect it to work? The Camera is
very good and CAN take close up shots very clearly, Its a camera, on
a Mobile phone, do you expect it to be fantatic, its better than the
Nokia of the same period. Down side was that it didnt come with data
cable, I got one of Ebay so all is good but I cant seem to change the
games (no options to do so), but at least I can down load the pics.
The phone is very good quality FOR the price and I like it better than
my old Nokia 3315 and battery life is very good. SMS to me is no problem
what so ever once you learn to use the phone :P

Okay, I bought this phone a year ago and I loved it cause of the camera
and the vivid display but...afterwards it turned out it wasn't that
good, or at least mine is very dim. I persuaded a friend of mine to
get one too, and the thing is that now they crash during calls, or I
just end up without a phone cause it won't turn on and loses network.
I don't get my SMS immediately but after like 6 hours or so :( Another
drawback is the DRM, which doesn't allow you to send any content you've
downloaded via WAP and the lack of photo ID. Overall, like already said,
it woulda been great if it just worked...But since it doesn't here in
Bulgaria you can get a SE K500i for the same amount of money, less than
$150 and it would be a better choice

I bought this phone in May 2004, and it worked really well to start
off with, did everything I needed, and if anybody would have asked i
would have recommended it to buy, and the camera was really good too.
However it was only in August when I started to experience problems.
First the camera stopped working altogether. I took it back to the shop
and they repaired it. At the moment in time the camera is broken again:
says "preview error" even when I turn it on! Half way through a call
it will just cut off, stating "call failed" even when I have full signal.
SMS's will only send when they feel like it. I am on the same network
as another member of my house and they have no trouble, however my boyfriend
has a samsung phone and he is experiencing the same troubles, so maybe
it's samsung altogether. getting a new phone on saturday, and it wont
be a samsung!

of months later the camera was borken and everytime i tried to take
a picture it wouldnt let me and the picture would go green and blury
and i had no idea why, as it was on guarentee i thought i would take
it back to the shop so it could be repaired they said they were sorry
for the inconveineince and that they would fix it. 2 weeks later they
fixed it and it worked good for the next couple of weeks or maybe a
month but after that my phone would randomly truen itself of or restart
itself or reset r the settings and sometimes if someone rang me my ringtone
would play all wrong and go relly high and wierd, so i went back to
th o2 shop and they fixed my fone the day after i got it back it was
broken even more, so i took it back andthey tried to fix it but they
couldnt so they gave me a knew phone but the same model, however this
one still re sets the settings on its own and sometimes half of the

You either like this phone or hate it. I like it and think it is a Good
value for the money you pay. The 640X480 pixel images captured on the
phone are of good quality, mine even beats the high-end nokia's on quality.
The colour display of 65K is absolutely superb and the display is good
for even bright lights. Navigation through menu is good. The phone to
PC connectivity is a breeze through the infrared using Samsungs Easy
Studio software. I even got a pc cable, but prefer the infrared for
connectivity and transfer on the fly. The battery backup and reception
quality is excellent. MMS, SMS are good and typing is a breeze. Polyphonic
ring tones absolutely ROCK! Ensure you get good quality ring tones...
Straight design, not a flip or slide opening design. Its USP of Camera
flash is good for those really close shots, or be innovative and use
it as a torch... quite powerful at that... and very handy. Huge Memory
Bank - 9MB is big time for a phone in this category, I get around 150
ring tones in it, 100 or 50 (HIGH res.) pictures and much much more
I am not a nokia buff having had some bad experiences with a few handsets
before and my alternative in Samsung works for me well as like I had
already mentioned, they give good value for the money you pay, especially
when I keep changing my handsets every year or so. But I guess, I will
hold onto this x600 for awhile as it has got features that will hold
good for more than a year. There are drawbacks in the x600, every phone
does, just that in my case the postives outweighed the negatives. The
drawbacks are most visibly the external antenna!!! How I wish, I could
get rid of it. And the software is not very user friendly, but I have
learnt to get over this soon enough. No Bluetooth, but I don't have
one in my laptop anyway, so it was OK. Java games, which will bore you
sooner. Download away and have fun. You can also download games of the
pc cable, just google to find out how. The standard toolsets in the
phone are very useful, if you use it. I don't usually write reviews
and a long one at that, but I see a lot of people complain about this
phone because they buy it for the wrong reasons and don't read the manuals
or configure it properly, The phone is as good as the person using it
and I think my phone x600 is excellent.

the camera comparred to the phones price. Ringtones are good it depends
where do you get them. But the game for the phone are bad and awful.
And the fact that you can't turn off the sound what the phone makes
when taking a picture is bad. But amout of dressing that you can do

Its a good and lightweight cell phone but its camera is its only bad
part. Camera quality is good when viewed from the phone but when the
pictures are transferred to the PC through the data cable, the image
quality decreases. After three months of buying, its camera has given
up. The resolution has decreased very much. Like the quality of a 4096
colours display phone. Not recommended due to the camera problem.

Hello Friends, I wanted a GPRS phone with value for money which Samsung
X600 gave me. It has the maximum 9MB memory, 65K colours with 128 x
128 TFT, a camera with 640 x 480 resolution & LED torch, GPRS Class
10, IrDA and Cable connectivity, Good reception and good battery backup.
But the bigest problem is its not Nokia, Unlike Nokia its not sturdy
enough that it will be able to manage a 5 feet fall, has a external
antenna and the most annoying is that the INRARED DOESN'T WORK. I tried
using BAFO-120 IrDA and with a inbuilt IrDA of a Laptop but of no use,
Both of them were able detect Nokia 6610 easily. SAMSUNG X600's INFRARED
ONLY RECEIVES BISNESS CARDS FROM NOKIA PHONES. It doesn't accompany
a Cable and CD so you have spend approx $15 extra on it and download
a massive 60MB Samsung EasyStudio for using GPRS and transffering images
on PC. EasyGPRS isn't compatible with X600. You have to use EasyStudio
Internet Access to access Internet thru it, Uninstall / Remove / Disable
any previous modem you have and install Samsung GPRS modem. If still
unable to connect try dialing alternate numbers (*9***91# etc) provided
by your Service provider. Do provide default Gateway, Port, Bearer (GPRS
only) and APN. I bought a Chineese made USB cable and its working fine
after my 1 week long research on X600. The Samsung Service Centres here
in Chandigarh (India) were not able to provide me any help. They say
IrDA works but it doesn't. They say they have its cable but when you
visit them again and again, its not arrived yet. I don't know when proffessionalism
is going to come in India. My BAFO-120 IrDA is lying useless due to
the wrong feedback given by Samsung before I bough X600. Today I realise
what makes a Nokia, a Nokia. I regret not buying Nokia 6610i or Nokia
6220 which has EDGE. Hope this will help some readers. Thanking you
With Warm Regards MOHIT GULERIA

This is a cool phone and has good looks. It does not support Icelandic
letters to be found in phones from Nokia and Motorola. The sound quality
is not as good as in my older Motorola Timeport. There was no english
manual supplied with the phone (!!). The phone's most weakness is in
writing SMS. If I accidentially press the hang off button while writing
(which happens often because the buttons are so small) the I lose everything
I had just written and need to start again. The default writing mode
is dictionary mode (T9) and it seems not possible to change the default
mode so I have to change to ABC mode every time I write a new SMS. If
I try to send photos then there occurs an error "Cannot add more: 80KB"
and I need to restart the phone to get back. What I like most in this
phone is the shortcut keys which e.g. make it possible to start writing
sms by pressing just one button.

There is no doubt Samsung is new in the field of mobile phones compared
to Nokia, which is ofcourse, THE phone company. They have tried to cheat
their way to the top by giving their phones sexy designs, cool graphics
and multicolor service lights. All looks very interesting, appealing
and flashy from the outside but when u buy the phone is when you understand
how good Samsung really is at it. This is where your journey begins
and you slowly realize you would have been better off with a Nokia.
I bought this phone a few months ago. My friends were quite persuasive
about it. That is when the story started. The Pros: BASICS OF A MOBILE
PHONE: 1.Sound Quality ----- Quite good,no really,it 'IS' quite good.
As good as a Nokia. 2.Signal Quality ----- Hmm. Lets see.My phone says
signal is full but while I can barely hear the other person calling
from a landline. Still.. its not too bad to be throwing it out of the
competition.. 3.Battery Life ----- Hardcore Use= 1.5 - 2 Days , Normal
Use = 3 Days, Minimal Use (Standby) = 4 - 4.5 Days. Extra Luxuries:
1.Screen Size/Quality ------ The Screen is a 128x128 pixel one of which
u get only 128x92 where u can put ur walpaper or animation.It is of
very good quality, i would say BETTER than a comparably priced Nokia.
Cons= No brightness control. Not bright enuf to be viewed in the sun.
No Logos, No changeable screensavers,ualways get the digital clock.
On screen text displays whatever the sim tells it to display, so it
takes up half the screen itself. I wud term them more of a software
problem than hardware 2.Sound Alerts ----- 40 voice polyphonics are
really sweet to the ears.BUT unlike a Nokia u cannot assign tone ringtone
for u messages. U have a limited number of message tones and a limited
number of Alarms. Yet another software problem. 3.GPRS ----- Its good
in WAP too but the software isn't very easy to handle, its not userfriendly
, like a Nokia .... yet another software problem 4.Integrated Camera
----- For a mobile phone in this price range , The CAMERA IS EXCELLENT..
its the camera why i bot this phone. Comparable to a good 0.3 megapixel
camera. THE NOKIAs in this price range SUCK. THEIR cameras are WORTHLESS.
5.Organiser ------ Just an ordinary organiser which u won't get to use
much anyways...Good Conversion tables, nice calculator and stopwatch
and timer and and and.... 6.Voice Recorder ------ Yep theres a voice
recorder in it where u can make a minutes recording. BUT u will have
to do it from the MMS menu... that is definately a SOFTWARE problem...
7.Huge Memory Bank ------ 9MB is bigtime for a phone, i get around 150
ringtones in it, 100 or 50 (HIGH res.) pics and much much more 8.Design
------ Its about time they realized the antenna is not welcome, the
new X610 doesn't have an antenna, but they screwed us didn't they. 9.Charging
Time ------ From zero to fully charged in 3.5 hours... thats incredible
SOFTWARE UNFRIENDLINESS: Quite frankly, the software SUCKS in the phone,
u write a message and accidently press the RED button, poof, everything
gone, there shud be a message asking if u are SURE to exit. Other thing
is once it takes so much time to think. Always getting "please wait"
message. The Camera is not good for near objects cuz it won't focus
them, near asin taking pics of 4x6 photos, u get the point.No logos
are supported, no nokia picture messages are supported, sometimes the
software hangs (very rarely, but that happens to all the phones if u
confuse its processor as i did).NO PHOTO PHONEBOOK, MY GOD, WHAT ARE
THE SAMSUNG PEOPLE THINKING... such a good camera but u can't attach
pics to ur contacts... nokia please teach them how to write mobile phone
software. PLEASE ... fix the damn software SAMSUNG. if u do that, i
don't think Nokia can beat u in that price range atleast. ... So All
in all, it is a lil Unfriendly, but for that price, u simply don't get
a better phone... trust me.

The phone accentuates itself not only by the camera, but also by its
camera flash. The phone looks attractive, which also was mentioned by
many people who was allowed to try it out. Regarding reception, I've
use several phones by Samsung r200, c100, d410 and these days x600,
if you compare samsung phones to Nokia and Siemens best performance
have siemens mobiles regarding reception as the phone's primary purpose
is to have strong connection with network. As I've used Nokia and Samsung
In poor signal area the phone often disconnect the call, but in Siemens
case I haven't any experience of such disconnection even tried the cheapest
phone. Samsung have this weekness in all sets even in the expensive
one d410 that I purchased expecting covering thier reception problem.
Regarding Displays and RingTones Samsung leads. but note that these
are not the primary purpose of a mobile phone although every one have
it's own taste and requirements. Any way for the camera point of view
I think the ability to capture pictures in dark is much better than
d410,e700 and others, The screen colors and image quality isn't good
than c100, although both have same resolution but x600's screen physically
larger than c100 and seems quite appealing with respect to set.

Well the good things are that the camera actually works pretty well
at max resolution bearing in mind it's only a mobile phone, and it has
a "flash" (it's just a torch really) and night mode. The camera has
a zoom, and you can even zoom in on pictures you have already taken.
It has 40 note polyphonics, and with a couple of bits of software, you
can create/download your own short ringtones (midi or samples converted
to 8 bit sound). The screen is pretty clear and you can have JPG or
small GIF files as your wallpaper. There's lots of memory on this phone,
and I've got it to hold about 180 texts between the inbox and outbox.
There is a pretty decent organiser with To Do lists, Memos, a stopwatch
and countdown timer. Now the reasons why I should have bought a Nokia...
the T9 SMS is poor. It keeps forgetting words, and you can't go back
to a word you mis-spelled earlier and change it - you have to delete
it. But you can change the words if you write an MMS!! That really is
annoying. You can't assign your own ringtones to callers, only choose
from a default list. Can't assign pics to callers either. You have three
alarms, but no snooze! If the phone isn't muted, there is a sound each
time you change a setting or do somethig wrong. You can't stop it! Finally
for SMS alerts, you can only choose from a small list or sounds - all
of which are rubbish. The phone isn't actually a bad one; there are
things it does do well, but if you do a lot of texting or are used to
the more polished perfomances of Nokias, then this probably isn't for
you. Oh yeah, one thing I forgot and it's it's worth knowing about!
Accidetally press the End Call key while writing a text or MMS, and
you lose it. That more than anything else makes me want to throw this
phone against a wall!
