The Samsung U600- the world’s slimmest mobile phone, has been around for sometime, and it still manages to turn heads. The handset that comes under the Ultra Edition II, is only 10.9 mm in size, yet surprisingly manages to cramp a plethora of advance features into it. Better still, these features actually work.

The Samsung U600 withholds within the power of 3.2 MP camera, situated at the rear. Apart from the pixel count, what makes the camera par-excellence is its versatility and usability. The camera provides enough control for setting including a macro mode, and the ability to change ISO settings. But the camera lack Xenon flash, and the weak LED photo light does not really make an impression. Similarly, though the handset has been endowed with autofocus, the speed is so slow that it causes annoyance to capture moving objects.

For indulgence in beats and ecstasy, the Samsung U600 comes with an impacting Mp3 music player. The sound is great (thanks to the digital power amp, developed specifically for Samsung by Bang & Olufsen), and the interface as excellent as that of Sony Ericsson’s Walkman Series. Navigation becomes easy with Quick PC Sync software. Further, the 60 MB of internal memory (with support up to 2 GB of external storage) ensures that all your wanted tracks can be easily stored. The only disappointing factor in the Samsung U600 musical prowess is, the device lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The Samsung U600 comes with a quad band GSM connectivity, sans 3G. It does provide a web browser, but the slow GPRS speed, kills the browsing addiction in you. The handset can also be connected to the PC via USB for synchronisation. One can sync things like play list, outlook contacts etc. One good thing about Samsung U600 is that as well as being able to transfer media files between PC and phone, one can also use it to store files of any type. For social buffs, and business users, the Samsung U600 comes with an innovative feature. It can scan business card pictures and store the data for future use. Samsung U600 is also extremely stylish. The handset comes in many colours such as: Black, sapphire blue, garnet red, copper gold and platinum metal.
