Samsung SGH-G600

The lens and its tiny LED flash are hidden away under the back of the casing when the phone is closed to afford them protection. There is a macro mode and autofocus. You can fiddle with the ISO settings which range from 100 to 800 or leave the camera to decide what to do automatically, which is what I did.
The coloured dish, photographed under normal household lighting is clear and sharp. Outdoor shots were also rather good. The shallots were photographed using the macro mode, with the lens about 10cm from the subject and the shot is pretty sharp. The apple is another macro mode photo and is pretty good too.

The outdoor photos were taken on a very dull and gloomy day and lesser phones would have struggled more with the available light. Even with these positive comments, the camera isn't good enough or flexible enough to replace your standalone digital point-and-shoot. Still, as a bonus there is an image editor which includes some rather nice tools such as warping, colour filters, style effects and cropping.

There is, of course, a music player. The SGH-G600 has 40MB of internal memory and support for microSD cards - the slot is on the right edge of the phone's casing. My review sample did not come to me in the final box and lacked headphones.
