i bought this phone about three weeks ago, the hone is great, sturdy body, metal finishings, screen glass kinda sensitive to scratches so i bought a screen protector.
camera is good, although my recent samsung Z560 pics sizes rage from 400-900kb but this phone took pics amounting only 300-600kb in size, meaning it does not catch so much of the detail even if its a 5mpixel, although its still great. iso to 800 is also helpful on night shots, led is super bright, although you really have to chose still subjects because moving subjects create blurrs. rather use it for night time landscapes.
video recording is 15fps on vga resolution, 30fps on cif, and can directly be stored on the memory card. watching it on fullscreen is great, just play the video on normal screen and quickly press the hash/number sign(#) key.
pictures taken and defaultly saved on the phone memory can be viewed on fullscreen, but a bit cropped. saved directly on the memory card, no hope in full screen viewing.
creating themes is also great, varying the each and every color, only 10 themes are alowed to be stored, and you can't create any further.
speaker is not that loud but still, well, loud.
the light sensor works fine, but i modified the settings of the display brightes to steady 5. because viewing bright screens on night time is great.
its the only phone, i guess, that offers radio recording, and its so cool, recorded files are saved as mp3 of FM quality.
the battery works fine, although if you keep on using the camera with the flash, it'll drain it quickly, but don't bother, switch it off for some minutes, switch it on again and you'll have your battery bars back.
for those who often travels, i suggest you buy an extra extended battery and you won't miss perfect moments.
that's for now. enjoy your phone, and don't ever compare it to gadgets like digicams and the like 'coz this is a phone.bye

i believe that your concerns with the received broken sms arent to be blamed on the cellphone...its the fault of your service provider, or well maybe not really, lets just try to consider the tag of the philippines as the tetxing capital of the world.the system of our service provider can only accomodate so much at a time.
and oh ive a question, how much is g600 here in phil? or should i get a g800 instead?

michaela , 23 Jul 2008yes there is .. along cdr-king ..im also planning to buy g6... morethanks for the info. well i havent encountered any major problems with this phone. besides the unupdated firmware im also dissapointed with the 5mp camera,
-pix has a lot of noise
-it takes a few seconds to take and save the pix(in high resolution).
-shaky hands = blurry pix
-you need to be in a well lighted area to get a decent pix.
-my 4mp kodak digicam is way better than g600's 5mp cam.

gawakita, 20 Jul 2008yeah this happens quite a lot from older phone modelsso this problem with long incoming sms appearing as broken....you say it happens only with older phone models...older phone models from the person sending those sms? can't it be solved with a firmware updating?
another thing...when the battery goes low to the last bar. it blocks me from some features like camera and music and it also keeps alerting me constantly with some annoying "low battery" sound! Can it be changed?
thx

I already posted a question (see beneath). It's about the antenna of the phone. It could be that my question was not that clear. What I meant to ask is whether the antenna is on the upper side (the side that you can slide open) or the down side (where the keys are)? I hope someone can help me with this

Hey I have a question: Does anyone know where the antenna (aerial) is located in this phone? I mean, is it in the lower part or the upper part of the phone?
Thank you.
