Samsung D600 review

The D600 comes very close to the W800i in terms of multimedia functionality. The D600 does not come with any memory card by default but offers 90 MB of inbuilt memory and card slot for expanding memory. This slider phone has one of the best color screens compared to that of all other cellphones in the market. With a built-in media player, the D600 supports MP3, AAC playback and allows MPEG-4 video recording and playback as well. Supportfor viewing of MS office and Adobe PDF files adds a fair deal of smart phone functionality without being too bulky. The D600 brings some very fresh and interesting features to the table by providing video-out functions and direct print feature, which allow the user to make use of all the features of the phone without a PC. Imaging is also at par with the best, offering 2 MP camera and a video capture support.

The video is captured in MPEG-4 format and looks great on the high resolution color screen. The best part of the D600 is its ability to integrate so many features in a compact package, with the addition of a very attractive design. The D600 marginally loses out to the W800i with its cramped and tricky 5-way navigation key and an inferior camera.
