Fatally flawed part 2!
Having owned a Samsung D500 a few years ago, but then converted back to Nokia when the mighty `N' series phones arrived, I received this two months ago as one of the company upgrades. Now while the phone admittedly looks very beautiful in pictures, in your hand it just feels cheap, flimsy and very, very plasticky. I'd seriously worry about the build quality of this handset since it certainly doesn't feel like a phone that could withstand the occasional knock or two.

I think a great deal of the problem is that manufacturers release so many handsets these days in very short periods of time that many of them end up only half finished. Whereas the stunning in its day D500 was around for a while and had a chunky, solid feel to it, eventually evolving into the D600, subsequent Samsungs have come thick and fast and been very much hit or miss affairs. The E900 and D900 are both very similar to proceeding handsets (and each other), all the while sampling different technologies. The U600, with its brand new looks, still transports those horrible touch sensitive buttons from the E900 that really should have been best left behind. Mine - like others in reviews - has an over-sensitive call button and often dials out at the slightest touch of a finger. Worse, the hang up button is under-sensitive meaning that the battery has sometimes had to be removed to stop the errant calls.

Since this is such a fundamental flaw of the phone, it's absolutely impossible to recommend, since anyone on a `Pay as you Go' tariff could unexpectedly find all their calling credit used up when they need it the most. Looks alone simply cannot carry this handset while it remains so flawed. Think of it as the equivalent of a car with a dripping petrol tank - you just couldn't trust it to do the job, could you?

Now that the G600 is finally out - sporting `real buttons' again - it's easy to see that the U600 is just another precursor to that handset, and anyone looking to upgrade their current phone should definitely go for the G600.

Hmmm
I have had this phone since january 08 and the function keys are not working !! the number pad is fine, i just cannot look at my contact list, text anyone or ring anyone. I wouldnt recommend this phone as the soft function keys are a nightmare!
