i600 comes with everything except the lcd, which sports 65k TFT only, whereas e61 comes with 16bit screen...
 but i600 has the 3g video call capabilities which is not found on e61. summore, i600 runs on Windows mobile platform. wondering its processing speed... |

QUOTE As for bundled software, there's nothing much. My biggest gripe is the ability to view Microsoft Office documents. Though I know very well that Smartphone doesn't have editing capability, I wasn't prepared for such poor viewing capability either. The bundled Picsel viewer really sucks. What it does, I believe, is that it turns each page of an Office Document into a JPEG file. I uploaded the Blackjack User Guide into the Micro SD card and it's so freaking hard to view, the main challenge is moving to the next page and adjusting the zoom so that the letters become visible  ( wtf~~~ thought of buying it for office use... |

I'm thinking about ordering this unit... Still in dilemma comparing atom life and i600
atom life... defenately great... flexibility to install 3rd party software but the price is also X 2! does samsung i600 support 3rd party software which can be found "anywhere"? |

The problem of samsung is the customer service as well as spare parts. If u wanna tweak ur i600, u'll need extra effort to find the authorised service centre. Furthermore, the recond/local spare parts ain't easy to find. Say i wanna buy extra immitation batteries for i600, the only place that will be available is Lowyat.
and for those looking for trademark music phone, sony is the answer; multimedia phone, Nokia wins, stylish phone will be Moto; but Samsung is .... errr.... What huh? |

Sold my E61 because got problem with Celcom roaming with the set! E61 is a good high quality set but lack of camera. The sound quality is very good as well as the screen.
Getting 2nd hand Samsung i320 because like the shape & design. Picture quality is very good. Thinking to switch to Nokia E61i in the future because i320 have no Wifi |

Hmm... so a hard reset is all that is needed to solve the problem?
Interesting! By the way, I already found a way to edit Favourite Contacts while using Cart Wheel. To remove, go to Contacts, find the name of the contact, select Menu, scroll down to Remove from Favourites.  Source |

just tried out the phone today...i never liked models like E61 aka calculator-like phones before...
but this samsung kinda impressed me...the ergonomics design on the keypad is pretty well...and the black material casing indeed shows a hint of elegance...the device feels pretty comfortable for one-handed usage, besides being light. but i think the 1.3mp camera resolution and protudes out of the phone's surface is quite a letdown...the screen should be better if its larger though, and im not sure the software support for Windows Mobile for smartphones is as strong as Windows Mobile on PDAs...correct me if im wrong overall this phone is quite good for users who dun mind usin keypad...but i would rather go for PPC with touchscreen if i would opt for WM in future..

Yeah the build of the i600 is superb, and it has one of the tightest battery cover among the many models I've used before. but this samsung kinda impressed me...the ergonomics design on the keypad is pretty well...and the black material casing indeed shows a hint of elegance...the device feels pretty comfortable for one-handed usage, besides being light. but i think the 1.3mp camera resolution and protudes out of the phone's surface is quite a letdown...the screen should be better if its larger though, and im not sure the software support for Windows Mobile for smartphones is as strong as Windows Mobile on PDAs...correct me if im wrong overall this phone is quite good for users who dun mind usin keypad...but i would rather go for PPC with touchscreen if i would opt for WM in future.. On the contrary, the camera is not bad, but don't expect anything close to the other 1.3MP cameras, just that it's camera is not bad. Software support, no worries. Major developers of softwares for PPC also have a Smartphone version of their softwares. It's as many if not more than the PPC versions.  QUOTE(PetroToxin @ Jun 10 2007, 10:25 PM) 1 standard + 1 extended Cool. Samsung finally included an extended battery as early batches come with 2 standard batteries. |

just bought the phone last week....don't have to pay anything for it as i've traded it in with my old dopod 838 pro which was lagged with problems....
so far enjoying it...one of the best feature is the internet sharing, that you could plug & play without the pc actually having installed anything...that's brilliant... most complaints might come from the 1.3mp camera, but i don't use any of my hp's camera much, so it's not a problem for me.... anyways, just dropping in to share my view.... |
