Description
With the current crop of smartphones coming out you can start to get previously released models at cracking prices. The Samsung SGH i-600 is one such example, as it has dropped in price to £255 now from eXpansys.
Dimensions
Though the product has a full Qwerty keypad it's still light in weight, weighing only 109g and it measures 113 (H) x 59 (W) x 11.8 (D) mm.
Its screen measures 2.3" and is viewed in a landscape orientation.
Box Content
Inside the box you get a user manual, Travel Adaptor, Stereo Headset and PC Data Link Kit. Though we must point out that the Samsung uses its own mains/USB connectors.
Features
The Samsung does throw in a nice set of features for your money, as mentioned you get a Qwerty Keypad, 3G with HSDPA support (1.8 MBPS) , dual Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 and a 1.3mp camera (which is the lowest point).
Design
Technically the Samsung is marketed as a business phone but for a smartphone with a Qwerty keyboard Samsung have still done a great job of keeping the device small and light weight and coupled with the 2.3" (320 x 240 pixel) screen it does look the business.
The keys themselves are not as responsive as we would like, but at least they are spaced out well, but at times some of the keys seemed to stick when texting
We did like the way Samsung have customised the Windows Mobile 5 smartphone interface, which contains a series of scrollable icons depicting contacts, your latest images and profile choices. You can use the joypad or the scroll wheel to the side of the device to move through these options quite easily.
Screen Quality
The screen quality was pretty clear, though you do have to get used to the 2.3" size screen. Being in landscape mode does help when watching videos and browsing websites but again the device would have benefited from a larger display.
Sound Quality
For playback through the internal speakers we thought its volume was a bit too low for our liking, so switching to the supplied headphones is the preferred choice - though at least the Samsung is small enough to be useful as an mp3 player.
