The Samsung U600 is an amazing looking phone, its got a good quality camera, slightly annoying but easy to get used to touch screen and is an all over good standard mobile. But it seems to stop working after about 6 months of purchase. The screen is very easily breakable even putting it in your back pocket is a no no! The delicate screen is a major let down to this phone. But i still loved it, the pink one on o2 is the best to have =] if you wanna reli waste your money that bad

This phone is a no-buy no-brainer. I'm on my third handset now..

Handset 1. After about a month, it developed the old "screen back to front and upside down" problem that people have reported here. So, that went back to Orange and I got a replacement.

Handset 2. Again, after about a month, the screen looked as if it had a diagonal crack in it. Above the "crack" was unreadable, below the "crack" was OK. Couldn't read text messages so back it went to Orange.

Handset 3. So far, so good -except- the battery life on this one seems to be much less than the other two handsets I've had. It ran out unexpectedly this morning so I am now without a phone for the rest of today.

If I get any more problems with it, I'll either revert to using my old but reliable Nokia 6230i, or refuse another U600 and insist on getting something that actually works for longer than a month.

All in all. Don't even think about buying this phone. Not a good move.

I have had my Samsung U600 in purple for 7 months now. It's a great phone, good games, connectivity, great camera. It's an amazing phone. All of a sudden out of the blue, the phone would not switch on. Plugging in the battery made no difference. The phone was powerless. It has now been sent away for repair at Samsung. Apart from the phone not working I loved it and it was and still is a great phone and very attractive.

I love this phone! I've had it for about two months and think its v cool. A while ago I even droped it in a bath and after a few days (while it dried out) it was working perfectly. Unfortuunately it got run over a few days ago (I am slightly accident prone)and I am now considering getting another one.

It would appear that after a year of use, this phone gives up! I loved this phone and 2 weeks ago, I would have given the phone a much higher score. However it started flickering over a week ago and yesterday the screen buttons stopped working. The keypad works but that is no good becasue you can type in a number but then you can't call. I can read messages. I can't do anything. I can't even call orange to say I have a problem. I really need to use my phone today and I can't!!!!!!!!!!! I have had phones which have lasted for years but this phone clearly only lasts a year!

For any of you who have these same problems, what have you done about it???? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I've got this phone, and I've got the exact same problems. The touch buttons have stopped working, and now even sliding the phone halfway down to try and activate them doesn't work anymore. So if I receive a text, I can't activate the menus to read it. This phone gives the impression of not having been fully tested, and I would tell anyone considering buying this phone - DON'T. It's a piece of junk.

Over the past year I would have given this phone 10/10 but now after owning the U600 for a year my screen is flickering, blinking and sometimes going completly black. After reading other reviews it would seem I'm not the only one it's happened to but there is some hope because I have just seen screens online for £19.99 so that should keep me going for another year.

The Samsung U600 is a stylish and brilliant phone, I love it. I have had mine for a while now and I think its great, however with all Samsungs I have found that it loses signal and switches off throughout sending a message. Its so annoying, and is the reason I didnt give the phone a 10. It's sexy, and its compact, but with the phones out nowadays, the question is..can it compete? No..sorry. It needs a memory card for any sufficient storage, and looks great, but we all know that its not perfect. Sorry guys..I want something new. I'm bored of its pinkness! Bec

I've had this phone since November and it was great until about a month ago when it started freezing when I tried to send a text, and then restarted itself. I wondered if it was because I'm storing a lot of texts - if I delete one or two, it works again, althoug the memory isn't full. It's going back but it's going to be a pain being without a phone whilst it's sorted out;

First i loved this phone, i have always had samsungs. BUT this one is sooooo annoying! I have just sent it off today for the FOURTH time to repair the same problem. They have changed the whole handset twice so the prob is obviously with the technology of the phone. The screen and all the text appears upside down, back to front, different colours, goes completely black or completely white and just freezes.........it does my head in!!!! And this has been in the space of three months. I would not recommend this phone to anyone! The man in the repair shop said that it was a common problem with the samsung u600 and lots of people bring them in time after time with screen problems. Dont get this phone.

Wish I'd read these reviews before buying this phone in January! Haven't had any problems with texting, but touch sensitive buttons are a pain and I'm now having trouble with the phone switching itself off and reverting back to factory settings. I'm too afraid to turn the phone off cos I have to customise it every time I switch it back on. The camera's too fiddly and long-winded, and so far I haven't taken a decent shot! The radio's good though, and the keypad's numbers/letters are large enough for me to see without having to put reading glasses on!

I would never buy this phone again, which is a shame cos I've had Samsungs previously and have always been very pleased. Judging from the countless reviews and forums on the internet, you'd think Samsung would've withdrawn this phone.

Samsung U600 Blue is a very pretty, stylish and sophisticated handset which comes with a slide opening mechanism. This lightweight slim device offers an impressive range of features that include a Document Viewer for opening email attachments, has touch sensitive soft keys and a four-way navigation key which is very easy to use. The 3.2 megapixel camera comes with auto focus and LED flash. You can stay connected across the world with the quad band technology. The battery life is not good as it needs to be charged minimum every two days! One must look after this delicate handset as it gets scratched quite easily!

First and foremost in all my time as a mobile owner I've had Nokias - since the 1611 - and worked my way through Nokia upgrades. But... I decided that this fone was really stylish, was slim and lightweight and wasn't too bulky for my suit.
Gotta say this phone is the worst I've ever had - it might look the part - but it freezes mid way through texts or emailing - and is so frustrating! I know of no solution to fix this "freeze" and to put it mildly - I HATE THIS PHONE !!!!! I'm glad there are others out there who also have experienced this trouble because when I took my first handset back to the Orange shop (I've had 3 so far) the guy said that he wasn't aware of any problem...

hmmmm......

He will be after I point him in the direction of this website!

This has put me off Samsung handsets now as well - maybe harsh - but this phone has let me down too often.

I agree, the phone does have issues as there apears to be a lot of these that have this problem. I had the same phone and sent it back and was given another one. Its doing the same thing. I reset it and now seems to work fine. But I should need not to reset this phone to solve the issue. Fact is the issue should not be happening. As for your internet and media messaging loss. This is no issue to your phone this is within every handset that is new as you had run your phone through a full reset. All you need to do is register your phone to recieve WAP and MMS!

I have had nothing but problems with this phone from the start. I was veered away by the orange rep from the phones i wanted and was told to get this phone. Initially i thought it looked great and had some good features. About 2 weeks after receiveing the phone, whilst texting my phone shuts itslef of, this went on and on until i could not send texts at all. The camera is hard to use beacuse of the slide and does not have good lighting. Eventually after 5 weeks my handset has been reset and my texts now wrok, but i have lost internet access and media messaging.
