I have had my U600 since august 2007 and I love the phone's look and it's slim body feels great when held in hand. As for its functions,the phone offers a camera that can produce quite nice pictures and videos(bear in mind though,the camera is not really usable in dark),image editor is also nice,sound quality is very good but the phone isn't very loud. Since I bought it, I haven't had any problems with the phone - it still works great(slow memory card reading is irritating,but normal for this phone so if you're going to use it,get used to it). There is one thing,though,that I find most annoying of all. I have never dropped the phone and instead of carrying it in my pocket I carry it in a leather case. All in all,I take great care of my phone. Still, there are a lot of tiny shallow scratches on my screen and the back of the phone and the paint on the edges on the top of the phone is starting to peel off. That makes me wonder, how would my phone have looked like if I hadn't taken so much care of it? I know the answer because a friend of my has the same phone but often drops it and alway carries it in the pocket of her jeans or in her handbag(along with keys,makeup and many other thing that can scratch the phone).
My recommendation for potential buyers is: if you want a phone with great functions,you are looking at the wrong phone; if you want this phone because of its looks(as many do),be prepared to take good care of it because if you don't the phone will lose its good look after 6 months or so. If you buy it, give it the attention it deserves by buying it a leather carrying case.

you have to purchase the cable or borrow it from someone who does have..
once you connect it to your TV..
you can view ur pictures,videos,sms and listen to a music with ur tv as the screen..

I have this phone since august 2007 and i really love it...it has unique msg setting like the vivid mode and gurls do love it..camera is good but not as good ( night - flash shot ) as cybershot phones that has 3.2 megapixel..it can store up to 1000SMS..you can have 3gp short video as a wallpaper but it consumes too much battery..my battery only last a day .thats the downside though..whats the initial standard charging for most phones specially samsung phones ? bcoz i only did 4 hrs charging when i first bought it..when playing mp3 - the system runs slow when txting..not a problem 4 me...my phone broke last jan 2009( i dunno wat happened ) - it has something to do with the flex and motherboard - and have it repaired..they replaced my motherboard - China made..ive check mine b4 and it was finland made...since then my phone dropped twice ( one in a bamboo floor and carpet ) till now my phone is still running and alive but already have some defects like the keypad - u have to press hard some keys to choose the right letter and the answer key ( touch sensitive key) is no longer working..so i have to use speed dial to make calls... im just waiting for this to be fully not operational b4 i will buy a new one..im thinking to buy samsung s3600.just a basic phone with the all the features... i no longer like slider phone bcoz of the flex issues..my gurlfrend have u700 and within a year her phone's flex was replaced three times..good thing its under warranty...Overall i was satistfied with this samsung u600 for two years...sexy phone and nice features...yahoo!!!
