    Had the phone only one month a ...David Gibbins -- 09/04/08

    Had the phone only one month and its back to Samsung. Turn the phone on, it goes through all the self promotion then bingo - blank screen. The speaker phone and ringtone volume is pathetic and the instruction/ user manual is abysmal. To think I got rid of a Nokia 6233 for this I must have had rocks in my head.

Overview

The good:
  • Smallest 5-megapixel camera phone to date
  • Camera is fast and takes great pics
  • Good music player
  • Fun collection of mobile games
The bad:
  • No 3G or HSDPA
  • Auto-focus could be more accurate
  • Combined proprietary input
The bottomline:

No 3G will turn some away, but if you don't mind going without data speeds, GPS or a touchscreen then the G600 will make you an excellent camera phone and save you money in the process.

Editors’ rating:

7.8/10

RRP: AU$599.00
