the best deals i could get was
£50 for the phone £25 month
free for the phone £30 a month
pay as you go £250
i have had a quick go and i love the phone i hated the e900 touch buttons as thay where to sensitive but the u600 is far far better less sensitive spaced out better and the center pad is raised so you dont hit the touch sensitive buttons at all
the text meassages have customize ringtones now
the only thing for me is what the battery life is like in the real world
and if you can have diffrent ring tones for diffrent people when thay ring you

Thank you Kirsty,
The U600 is already out in Carphone Warehouse. (Retailing £199.95 on Orange). Does anyone know about the music capabilities? e.g. next track and previous track when the phone is closed and in the pocket?

No the numbers on the keypad (0-9) are not touch sensitive, they are just like any normal keypad. The buttons on the top area on the phone are the only ones that are touch sensitive.
Does anyone know when this phone will be out on Pay and Go?

Hello, i would just like to enquire about the music capabilities of the Samsung U600. I currently have a SE K750i, on this phone you can listen to music and change the track using the volume up and down keys. Is this function possible on the U600? Also, the main keypad (numbers 0-9) - are they touch sensitive?

Hi,
I've been reading everyone's comments, and I would like some U600 owners to maybe say a few things about the touch key pad, as this is what is worrying me. I have D600 atm, upgrade due. I was all for the U600 til I heard about the key pad. Is it only the top buttons that are touch sensitive, or all the buttons on the phone? I am definitely a texter rather than a talker, and so this aspect has put a question mark over the phone in my opinion. Should I wait for the U700??
Thanks

Hi
Can anyone confirm th video recording mode in the U600 is it the old qcif mode, or the the higher cif resolution. As i feel this is an important point to clarify for anyone considering buying this phone

I just had a play with a U600 in a Phones4U in Putney, London, England. a) It DOES have an FM Radio (under the Applications menu) b) It DOES have a voice recorder, and it's very quick to activate using just two key presses. c) The camera IS autofocus and quicker than prior Samsungs. The phone is very versatile with a very bright screen. The only flaw is that unlike Samsung's other well constructed phones, the slider on the (working) shop demo model did rattle a bit, but it may have been damaged. I am deciding between the even more sexy LG Prada (similar features) and ths U600. Hmm, decisions. Either way, I win. :-)

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.
