Review of GSM/UMTS-handset Samsung S5600

Mobile-review have posted a review of the Samsung S5600. Here is their final impression.

We were content with the S5600�s reception quality, although it wasn�t much different from other phones in this class. The ring tones volume was pretty average, and we even missed some calls when the phone was stuffed in a bag. The vibro alert was nothing to shout about either, as it hadn�t changed at all, compared the PIXON.

A year ago or so the market saw the arrival of the Samsung F480 that retailed for almost twice the price of the S5600 at launch. Now we have a cheaper, sleeker and overall more effective device, which I personally liked (especially its Gesture Lock feature). On balance, the S5600 is a no-frills phone that is reasonably comfortable to use. Like we said at the beginning of this write-up, it�s a solid workhorse for 3G networks. And in case you won�t have any use for its 3G connectivity, you�ll be better off going for the Samsung S5230.

It�s difficult to underestimate the importance of this breed of touchscreen-enabled handsets that will soon become the main money-makers for most manufacturers � they are relatively unsophisticated, easy to use and at the same time offer above-average functionality. All in all, the S5600 is a very good choice for its money.
