The Samsung SPH-A600

This technical Samsung SPH-A600 review is based on an algorithm that takes a close look at a phone's specifications, it doesn't constitute an actual hands-on review. It takes an in-depth look at its strengths and weaknesses to help you make a sound decision.

The Good:

  1. Stand-by Time: A stand-by time of 240 hours. It is good enough! (score: 16/20)
  2. Phone Book: It can store up to 500 phone book entries, which is quite good! (score: 20/20)
  3. Wireless Data System: Able to do wireless data connections (High-speed). (score: 7/7)

The Not-So-Good:

  1. Weight: 4.4 oz of weight is somewhat above average. You could find the Samsung SPH-A600 a bit bulky. (score: 4/20)
  2. Talk Time: 180 minutes of talking time. This is just basic. (score: 8/20)
  3. Speakerphone: It does not seem to have a speakerphone, which would be useful in some situations. (Find phones with a speakerphone) (score: 0/10)
  4. Bluetooth: Not Bluetooth-enabled. (score: 0/7)
  5. Camera: The VGA (640 x 480) built-in camera is basic. Useful, but you won't make artwork with it. (score: 3/10)

Overall Score: 58
