Hi. I currently own the D800. The keypads look very similar... if anyone has had experience of both could you please tell me how they compare. Thanks!

Had the U600 for about a week now and not really getting on with it! (It replaced my D600)
The touch sensitive keys are very annoying - every time I go to do something I accidentally press the cancel one and go straight back to the home screen!
I can't figure out a way to put it on silent and have the ring and text msg alert on vibrate without going in and having to change them seperately.
The texting is very annoying. Again the touch sensitive keys are an issue and the normal keys are so hard to press. Also the 0 is no longer there to change the word on predictive text, you now have to use up or down arrow. I am finding it slow to text compared to my D600 which is very comfortable.
On a plus note, I'm pretty pleased with the camera, but haven't owned anything over 2mp to compare it with.
I may consider sending this back and going back to D600 which is a shame as the phone looks really good.

Hello all,
Just to let you know I am the proud owner of this phone as of yesterday, got it on O2 for all you Brits.
Anyway to answer some questions...
SILENT MODE - The phone does have a silent mode which is initiated by holding down the hash key. Doing so again released the phone from silent mode.
SOFTKEYS - the keys that are visible on the front of the phone when the slider is closed are very much like the touch keys on the E900, but I've gotten used to them already.
CAMERA - I've only experimented a little with the camera and suffice to say it was better than the one on my old phone (Razr v3i) I wouldnt reccomend using it as your be all and end all camera, just go buy an ixus :)
BATTERY LIFE - No idea I'm still waiting for the 'life out of the box' to die before I charge it up first time.
ERGONOMICS - Well it's not exactly heavy. However, this has to be the flimsiest phone I've ever had. It feels particulaly flimsy when the slider is active and your using the keypad. The keys seem quite stiff, much more so than the razr v3i. If youve got big
fingers this ain't the phone for you!
VIDEO - Havnt played with this bit yet.
BUNDLED PACKAGE - Quite satisfied, came with a pretty substantial software suite that deals with managing the data on the phone such as contacts, pics and vids, and transferring them between phone and pc. Also included in this is photo and video editing, where you can touch up photos to remove redeye etc.
MISC. - This phone doesnt make a sound when you slide it open/closed like on an older samsung model (cant remember which one).
OVERALL - So far so good from my perspective. I got this phone because of its incredibly small size, plus I really like the looks of it - even in the 'Saphire Blue' color it looks great, quite executive. I'd be interested to see what it lookes like in 'Platinum,' but I was in a rush to upgrade from my old phone. Plus, this phone does everything I want a phone to do. Sure there may be other phones with better specs and features that blow this phone out of the water, but I am never likely to use such features if I had them.
Defintately reccomended.

to mick,
On the site you have posted, still it has an error and all spec are temporary. In pixmania.com stated that there is no voice recording and I believe all those spec written are based on gsm arena as well. So personally, I should wait for the final spec announcement that will come from samsungmobile.com. Surely these specs will be changed.

another thing people, it will be ironic if this phone will have a video of 176X144 knowing that this U600 has TV out, will that is silly. If a phone has a TV out it must have a resolution of 352X288 (CIF) or 640X480 (VGA) resolution so that it will have a descent representation on your TV screen.
Well mick, hidden bits and GSM arena, why did you not think of that?

I bet U600 has a CIF video in hand or higher, this is an upgrade not a downgrade phone. This site always has an error when in comes to specification on samsung flagship phones. First they come out with spec. of U600 without FM Radio and now the site included it. Again they put QCIF video without basis just to confuse us users of samsung phones. How could this will always happen.
Another thing even the version of bluetooth are downgraded from 2.0 to 1.2 or 1.1 to some samsung phone while on samsung mobile site it says bluetooth ver. 2.0 with A2DP.

yes you are right mick its only 176 x 144 at usual 15 fps..Also mick i source all my video need at www.newmobile.nl now im in uk so shud not be nl but uk BUT british site went off last year for sum reason.This site usuall y has video footage taken with the device but new devices such as the u600 take time for results to start filtering thru.
