I've had this phone for several months now, and I've found it to have many irritations. My old digital camera died just as my old phone was starting to have problems, so I decided to spend a bit more on a phone with a reasonable camera. Unfortunately, the camera on this phone is awful. The resolution is good enough for me, but it takes several seconds to take a photo, which is useless when trying to take photos of a toddler (which, as a dad, I often do). I'd expected that when using the flash, but even in bright sunlight, the shutter stays open for several seconds, leading to blurred photos if the subject moves.
The user interface is inconsistent and appears to have bugs. Sometimes, closing the phone will disconnect the call. Other times, it won't. I haven't quite worked out when it will and when it won't, so I can't be sure whether or not it'll disconnect when I close the phone. If I set up an appointment with an alarm in the calendar, then later delete it, sometimes the alarm will go off anyway. If I change the details (but not the time & date) of an appointment in the calendar, when I save it a message pops up informing me that "Period of this appointment falls on another event", even when that appointment is the only thing on that day.

I think some people are being a bit tough on this phone. I bought one for my girlfriend and she likes it. I think it's cool - lots of features, really slim, and a nice polished look.
The touch buttons are a bit sensitive, but whenever I've used it it's been fine. I might get one myself - I think its a good all rounder.

I bought this phone in July 2007, and by September 2007 every time I attempted to text or make a call the phone switched itself off. I reported this to the place of purchase and the manufacturer, and both seemed unwilling to assist with the repair, despite it still being under warranty (and only being 2 months old!)
I would not recommend this phone to anyone who requires a reliable means of contact

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.
