hi,
i have a few questions to ask.. in addition to all the features and benefits i may get from this phone based on the previous comments and specs posted on this site. have any of you guys experienced having problems with battery life with frequent use of the phone? how long does the battery last for heavy use of the phone? and i am very much into display and mobile themes.. does this phone have themes downloadable like any other pocket PC's and mobiles?
your answers will be of great help.. i have been saving just to get myself one of these and if battery life and themes doesn't pose any disappointment to the features that is already on the phone. i guess, the time and money used will be worth it.
cheers!!!

Kai's flashlight cost US$3.00 and you can get it from http://www.pocketkai.net/asp/en/index-en.html
Follow the link "Tools" then "Flashlight" on the left side of the page.

All,
this "Multi FlashLight" application works like charm with me:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?automodule=downloads&showfile=1686
and it's totally free.
one more thing.. when i bought this phone, i got a full version of 'Documents To Go' within the package. I can totally edit Word and Excel documents.

Appreciate any wise inputs on this.. I am currently having a basic cell and a PDA and have plans to intergrate this to 1 hardware. I use the "notes" fuction and calendaring extensively on my pda. I have heard reviews that we are not able to edit Word document on the cell? Are we able to edit with Windows Mobile 6.0 installed? Can we create Word document and edit them on the Samsung i600?
Thanks and really appreciate any advice.

I have figured out a lot about this phone. Comments in this forums and http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile are unquantifiable help. Find below my amateur assessment of the phone;
[The VERY GOOD]
LOOK: Stylish, attractive yet simple.
FEEL: Lightweight, sleek, velvet-like.
LAYOUT: good button spread, decentralized navigation.
FUNCTIONS: Robust phonebook, high speed wifi, good organizer, Nice Camera.
BATTERY: Much above average.
OTHERS: call clarity, concealed connecting ports, GOOD security level, fast synchronization. good video quality and audio quality via earphone, child-lock battery cover (I guess that is what it is).
[The not good]
Ringer volume is moderate. Vibrate and ring helps.
Using Activesync 4.5 for the phone is problematic. It may be activesync 4.5 issue.
Uninstall and install the activesync4.5 every time you want to use it works. Also ensure firewall isn’t running.
The screen could have been bigger. Why write SAMSUNG in an area that could have been used for screen.
Slow boot, it makes me panic. Be patient it will come on.
Accessing task manager every time to stop running programs is not fun. A simple prompt like I see in office “Do you want to save or minimize” would have been best.
Samsung was not generous enough to put an external memory card.
Internet sharing is impossible with wifi. Samsung assumed all computers have wifi.
The VoiceAssist has never one day gotten my request correctly.
Unique USB port makes it hard to share accessory.
No flashlight. A software Kai's Flash Light solve that.
[Bottom-line]
Feature packed. To be unique and still stay in touch with official and unofficial activities, get this.

Decon,
shouldn't it be activated automatically when you make video calls??
I never tried that.. i'm just guessing..
but i think you can't enable it as a photo camera. Also, not sure of that.. if anyone knows anything, please let both of us know ;-)

Green user,
Do you mean the power button?
It's located on top side. you can only see it when you look from up.
