Comparing the U900 to the U600.
E-mail:
On the U900, you are not allowed the capability on a POP server to download the latest e-mails. After you delete the messages from your phone and want to download new messages, it will automatically repopulate with the same messages that were previously downloaded(unless you choose to delete the old messages from the server, which then you will not be able to view them on your home computer.) The U600 allowed just that. I miss that feature.

My Files:
The U900 does not do a good job at organizing the files between your memory card and the phone. There isn't a menu for listing everything that's on your memory card. It's mixed with the other files that are on your phone. There is a small card "icon" that lets you know on what interface the file is located on. The U600 did a marvelous job organizing the files in their appropriate locations.

On-call speaker volume:

Many have said that the U900 has poor speaker quality during a call and it is very true. Although the speaker is wonderful when you play music on the phone. Yet again, the U600 trumps the U900 3/0 thus far.

Ringtone formats:

Both the U600 and U900 support the file formats (AAC/AAC+/MP3/WMA). On the U900, when you want to select a WMA file for a message alert, for example, it will not work. It then must be MP3 format. Likewise with the alarm tone settings. The U600 allowed for any of the 4 formats to be used however the user wished.

Keypad:

Here is where the U900 starts claiming some points. The keypad on the U900 is wider and more text/e-mail friendly vs. the U600.

Camera quality:

A breath taking 5MP camera on the U900 that takes exceptional photos...however, when you zoom in, the photos become very grainy upon zooming and after the picture is taken, the quality of the photo clears up somewhat. No matter how much you zoomed in with the U600, it still granted you a beautiful photo having only 3.2MP.

Those were just some of my personal pros and cons with the U900. Definitely a great buy, however I wish they transfered over some of these features so I don't miss the U600 too much.

    i think think the U900 is hard to use
    texting is a nightmare
    as some users will no
    you have to slide phone up to make call
    try and shut it it cuts call off
    ringing volume is rubbish and so is vibration
    sound from speaker on phone is rubbish although top music hifi maker has put name to phone
    unless you are taking still pictures camara is useless
    try taking photo of kids dog you have no chance as U900 takes about 20 seconds to take photo
    by then kids have left home and dog is half way across the park
    if you like taking pictures of buyildings or wax works them maybe good phine for you
    i have post question about moving music from comp to phone
    i had nokia put disk in comp had no probs useing software
    U900 is useless
    been trying for 4 days still cant put music on phone
    i should have sent U900 back as soon as i got it
    it took 1 day before top and screen scratched
    had to by a cover
    the only good thing is its battery life
    sorry to say ive been mugged of buying the U900
    they are the same as microsoft
    send out rubbish not good technoligy
    then wait for complains
    look at 50 odd pages of questions and answers
    then look up nokia phones
    hardly any
    looks like im going back to nokia
    samsung are rubbish
    i dont want phone to look good
    i want phone that says what it does on the box to be that good
    errickson or nokia tried and test
    much better then samsung
