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.
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.

Cool. Samsung finally included an extended battery as early batches come with 2 standard batteries.
