The Samsung SGH-i600, also known under the name Ultra Messaging, is a smartphone equipped with a QWERTY keyboard, produced by Samsung Electronics. It operates on either Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone Edition or Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard Edition and was introduced towards the end of 2006.[1] This device supports connectivity options including HSDPA, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. It features a 2.3-inch display with a resolution of 320 × 240 pixels capable of showing 65,000 colors, alongside a 1.3-megapixel camera that incorporates a small curved mirror to assist with self-portraits. Expansion is possible via a microSD card slot compatible with cards up to 2 GB.
Its design closely resembles that of the Samsung Blackjack (SGH-i607), which is offered in the United States through the AT&T network. While the SGH-i600 was distributed by carriers across Europe, it was only available unlocked (SIM-free) in the U.S.
