I've had this phone for a few weeks now. I am very pleased with it. The touch sensitive keys weren't a problem at all, in fact I actually prefer them. As for battery life, it isn't bad: 2 days with medium/heavy usage.
QUESTION: Can someone tell me how to set up the "Mobile Tracker" feature (if there is one)?
For those who don't know what that is:
"Even more, the system might also prove useful in the case of stolen mobile phones, and not only of the lost ones. This is ensured by the technology that Mobile Tracker uses. Every time a new SIM card is inserted in the mobile phone, two pre-selected phone numbers automatically receive a prompt informing on the contact number of the new user. Interesting enough, this process takes place without the knowledge of the new user of the handset."
Thanks
Your answer will be helpful to everyone

I have had the U600 for a week now. Its battery life is not great, but isnt that bad either. The touch keys take some getting used to and it helps to reallocate the functions on the circular button to avoid accidentally going online. To set silent easily just press and hold hash / space. Do it again to go back to your normal setting.
Does anyone know where the settings are to get the Big Ben / location based wallpaper working. I have tried restting to defaults but it didnt work.
thanks

Hye podigoto - D900 Or U600. Featurewise - There is hardly any difference. But lookwise U600 looks more better and moreover there is hardly difference of 30 to 40 $ in cost, then why not to go with the latest phone???

Cappy,
I use phone mainly for business calls & basically my requirement is the same as yours.
The best reception out of all phones that I've owned is the Vertu Constellation(too expensive for a Nokia made phone). My Nokia 8600 has got weak reception. If you want a phone with resonable price, great reception & a long lasting talk/standby time; buy the Motorola K1(I'm still using it everyday). The K1 not only have strong reception, the voice quality is good, loud & clear.
I highly recommand the Moto K1 to you!

Has anyone seen the phone in red colour IRL? Does it look good? Or is it better in a more neutral colour?
Thanks :)

I had a similar question actually, i haven't been able to play with one of these phones yet but have reviewed some of the menus on http://www.mobile-review.com/review/samsung-u600-2-en.shtml
It's a good website to learn from. Yes you can turn off the shutter sound but shortcuts i don't know about either. I wanted to know if you could move the contacts to the down button. It's what i'm used to on my motorola currently and seems easier for me. Also how fast is the camera, i can't find any speed reviews.

I've tried some Samsungs recently and they seem to be coming up short. I was wondering about this phone, can you shortcut the camera so it's on the homescreen? and can you turn off the shutter sound? also are the menu's customizable? and to what extent? So far the samsung A717 and A727 have come up very short in these areas, I was wondering if this was the same way.

To RXOR: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. There is not a single phone out there in the market that will satisfy everyone's needs and wants. It sounded like you were so mad with purchasing the u600 so I suggest just go ahead and return it. The top of the phone is heavier when you slide it open but I tried numerous times sliding it open and close to see if I might drop it (over my couch lol) and I have not done so. Its heavier but NOT HEAVY!! you wouldnt even notice it unless someone mentions it. Even my clumsy 9yr old daughter failed to drop it so far.
The screen resolution is one of the best!! think Sony VAIO!!! the camera with 3.2MP is awesome although the Cybershot phones I have to admit looks more sharp by a point which doesnt really matter. The key pad is not that far down and its easy to use and is much better than other phones where I always end up pressing the wrong number b/c its too close together. The # sign does have the "space" for typing but I have no trouble adapting to it even after using a Nokia one or a Motorolla which of course is different. Im also right handed mind you and my hands I would say is bigger than the average.
As I said before the phone is amazing TO MY OPINION. I have used other phones in the past. Nokia's, HTC's, Motorolla's and other Samsung's.... the U600 is very easy to use and just looks great.
The features goes beyond its pricing and it surprises me with only $299 as its price tag at cellswholesale.com. I dont work or affiliated with that website at all but im sure glad I took the time to research and was able to found that website that I think offers the phone the cheapest out of everybody else. I bought the white one and as some of you who might have researched this phone... the white is often more expensive than the other colors but its all the same price at cellswholesale. I wish I can post pics of the white phone somewhere so you can see. I had hard time looking for an actual pic of it (not an ad) in the internet. The phone still amazes me and im in to my 2nd week, my fiancee who I bought it for LOVES IT although I mess around it more than she does.

You simply make up a PIN and give it to the person you're trying to connect to. You can just put in 0000 or 1234 or something. It doesn't matter what it is, just both phones need to use the same PIN to pair up.

U guys like this piece of crap? I've had it for 1 day and i'm already pissed off... firstly, the phone is top heavy when opened... the keypad is WAAAY to low... it's so light i find myslef cradling the thing cuz i think i'm gonna drop it... there's nothing to hold!1.. second: texting is a b*tch cuz the space button is the pound (#) sign... what are all the guys at samsung left handed cuz this doesn't work for righties very well.. i'm already having a tough time holding the phone and now you want to make me do funny things with my joints? finally: what's with the functionality? anytime i wanna do something i gotta make 3 or 4 key's to do it... "options-send-ok"?. how about just SEND... jesus... the power button to unlock the phone (which autolocks EVERY time) is too small... bad enough... but in order to unlock it, i gotta hit the cursor button first to get the "keyboard is locked" message and THEN hit the power button... and this isn't really possible with only one hand without drop risk!!
The things pretty... goddam it looks good, samsung needs to rething the programming though...
2 out of 10... 2 points for looks...
what a piece of crap.
"best phone u ever had"?? what were u using before?? a motorola 8800??!? jeesus!! even THAT one was better!!
