The Samsung E600

The following technical Samsung E600 review is based on a computer analysis of the cell phone's technical specifications, it is not based on a live hands-on review. It outlines its strong and weak points so you can make a sound decision.

The Good:

  1. Weight: The Samsung E600 has a smaller than average weight, which is usually perceived as a plus. (score: 12/20)
  2. Technology: The Samsung E600 is compatible with worldwide GSM frequencies which is convenient for overseas travelers. (Roaming charges from your home carrier generally apply) (score: 7/7)
  3. Talk Time: A talk time of 420 minutes. It is very good! (score: 20/20)
  4. Phone Book: It can store a variable number of phone book entries. This is normally the case of phones with a dynamic memory and, it normally allows for a lot of phone numbers to be stored. (score: 20/20)
  5. Wireless Data System: Bluetooth-enabled, which is an interesting plus. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or transfer data to or from your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance. (score: 7/7)

The Average:

  1. Stand-by Time: 150 hours of stand-by time. It is about average. (score: 12/20)

The Not-So-Good:

  1. Speakerphone: It does not appear to have a speakerphone, which would be useful in some situations. (Find phones with a speakerphone) (score: 0/10)
  2. Camera: The VGA built-in camera is basic. Useful, but you won't win photography contests with it. (score: 3/10)

Overall Score: 85
