Samsung U600 review: Slim is sweet

My Samsung U600 do not want to accept year 2017 in time settings. It ends at 31.12.2016. it is pitty - device is still working perfectly and looks like a phone used for 2-3 months. Battery still lasts 3 days. The only drawback is that it uses another version of Samsung slim port.

      a correction: it can play mp3 in the background, but only if you set it to "music player overrides other sounds: ON". then, when you press back, it continues playing. the side buttons now control the music volume, thank god.

                                Features missing, bugs (my opinion after 6 months of use)

                                -Can't synch properly with Outlook (Greek), purchased in Greece, to be used by Greek natives
                                -Only uses caps in Greek
                                -Headphone connector not standard
                                -Should have voice command/dial, to operate without opening or with bt handsfree
                                - Camera takes way to long to take photo

                                  I had this phone for mths now. It's OK I would say. But many of my friends interest with it since it's so slim. But I think it's a bit TOO slim.

                                      GSM arena , i appreciate ur effort in churning out this rich review of the phone i intend to buy soon . But am not satisfied with the photos taken with the camera . You could have provided more pictures , but i think its just the problem with the particular handset u reviewed . Can u please post more pictures taken with the phone with another good set . Please so that i can get a clear idea of its camera capabilities . And also i am confused about its music quality and sound , the reviewers at mobile-review suggest that its better than the 2nd edition walkman phones but i guess you people disagree with that ? Can you compare and give a better idea about its loudness and quality compared to walkman phones , i mean any particular walkman phone ?

                                      I am so eager to get a satisfactory reply from the editors of the review .

                                        I've had this phone for about 2 months. Think it's relatively alright except for the fact that battery runs out rather quickly if you're an avid music listener. Also, I still haven't figured out how to transfer games and themes into this phone so that bothers me quite a bit too. Other than that, the U600 is a good phone, nice to hold and is as stylish as it's made out to be :)
