Using the Samsung i600 is very nice as is the phone functionality and the applications, which are very enjoyable to use. The full back and side parts of the phone are made of rubber – like black plastic material, something like you get in the likes of the Nokia 6233. This type of a finish ensures that there is enhanced resistance for scratches and doesn’t really attract a lot of fingerprints but if it does, it can be extremely hard to get rid of.

 

The various slots are covered with a type of soft plastic, ensuring that the phone’s sleekness is maintained and also keeps the moisture and dust away. The Samsung i600 is indeed very pleasant to hold and using the phone is a truly enjoyable experience because it fits very well into the palm and the user – friendliness of the design as well as the user interface really helps and can make a very big impression on whether you want to buy it or not.

 

The Samsung i600 is, with no doubt, a very stylish, slim and very compact smartphone. Top quality specs, along with good innovative software and great connectivity ensures that it will attract a lot of Windows Mobile users. The pricing of the phone also makes it a true bargain, so make sure you grab it while it lasts.
