Thinking of buying a G600?

Hi,
I have recently bought a "nearly new" samsung g600 mobile phone which I am very pleased with, and thought I would share my experience. I guess most of these phones come from people who have a pay monthly contract and who get a "free" new phone when their contract can be renewed.
These phones have often been used for a few weeks prior to sale, so it is important to check for any case or screen scratches if you consider this important - before you buy. I bought a couple of glass covers for mine for 99p which I wouldn't be without.
Many of these phones come with accessories such as a 1gb or even a 2gb memory card - well worth having if you want to make use of the excellent mp3 player and video camera.
A bluetooth headset should also be included, together with more obvious accessories such as the charger, computer lead, and PC software etc.
It is best not to install the PC software that you get with the phone, instead, go to the Samsung site and download the latest version - and install that - the version that came with my phone used to hang up so often it was unusable - but the latest version(PC Studio 3 version 3.1.3 GJ9 and PC Studio Launcher version 3.2.1 GJ4) is fine.
I would also recommend you pay a little extra for an unlocked phone if you want the option of trying a different network. Trying to unlock the phone yourself leaves you wide open to various internet scams and you could possibly completely ruin your phone.
The Samsung manual is sketchy, to say the least, but there are many hidden? features such as pressing the # key to make your videos fill the screen - or the 1 key to switch between camera and camcorder mode.
Finally, even if the phone you buy seems to have been reset to its original condition and works fine, CHECK that the seller will provide ANY password or PIN number they have ever put in the phone!! Even if the phone is set to "not require a password", you will be asked for a password if you ever want to do anything important - and there is no way of discovering or disabling a password once it is in the phone - you would need to return it to Samsung. If you find out a week or two later that your phone is asking you to input a password before it will proceed, there is a danger that your seller may have forgotten it, or be unavailable.....
Overall I am very impressed with this phone, and I thank the good ebayer who sold it to me.
