i have the samsung blackjack right now and activesync picks it up as a member of the i600 series. it shows up as the SGH-i607.

the sites you are linking to have the wrong pictures because they are shady news sites that do not know how to do real reasearch before they post an article because they are using pictures that are several years old.]]>Dec 4th 2006 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/Jun 17th 2008 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/
Personally I think the thing looks ugly, and way too many buttons.]]>Dec 6th 2006 7:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20061122/124255/]]>Dec 4th 2006 6:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.mobilegazette.com/samsung-i600-06x09x15.htm]]>Dec 4th 2006 6:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/"the Samsung Ultra Messaging i600 is the world's thinnest 3G smartphone with a full QWERTY key board"
Wording direct from the other page, so please explain how this flip phone (pictured on other page) that you claimed to be correct has a full QWERTY keyboard. Yea must be hidden behind that battery.]]>Dec 4th 2006 7:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/
This is why I hate when companies recycle names they already assigned to older phones. The i600 was already released by Samsung a few years ago as a flip smartphone, running WM2003, then later Verizon (who released the phone), released a WM2003SE upgrade. The SCH-i600 (the flip version) has been discontinued for well over a year, and was a fairly good phone, minus bluetooth, wifi, 3g, etc. It was a good stepping phone for converging many of us towards a "smartphone" device, as it was very much a phone before it was a PDA.

The picture on this site at the top is the "new i600 ultra". So the pictures you are pointing to are of an 'i600', but are not the 'new i600'.]]>Dec 4th 2006 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/The flip also has a blue backlight on the outside, you would not see that on a new phone now a day?
and that side profile picture? that is nothing like the "world's thinnest" smart phone.]]>Dec 4th 2006 8:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/Dec 4th 2006 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/
Did you read the article you linked?

"The companies claim that the phone is the world's thinnest 3G smart phone with a full QWERTY keyboard."

Where on that phone that they image is a full QWERTY keyboard? Obviously they are using the completely wrong image, as nowhere on that phone does it have a full keyboard.

Engadget has the correct image, the sites you linked obviously have the incorrect one (looks like an older model phone as well, just as Michael mentioned).

Please read the article then compare it to that of the image before you determine who is correct and who is incorrect.

Take a look at Samsung's official site.
http://www.samsung.com/search/search.asp?qt=i600&la=en&col=wu+ws+download&tabpage=1&radio=1&select=0&x=0&y=0

The first phone in the search results is AN i600... Look at the date of release on the phone... Then click the link and look at the image. It is the same image of the phone that YOU supposedly believe is the real i600. It's the same image from the sites you linked.

... Hmm... how can a phone that has just been announced... have been posted up on the site since 2005?

Obviously YOU are incorrect with your findings. Engadget is right, the sites you linked have the images of the extremely old i600 released back in 2005, not the new one.]]>Dec 4th 2006 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/
the NEW i600 is known as the SGH-I600

while the OLD i600 is the SPH-I600]]>Dec 4th 2006 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/Dec 4th 2006 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=233638&fcc_id='A3LSGHI600]]>Dec 4th 2006 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/Dec 4th 2006 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/Dec 17th 2006 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/Dec 4th 2006 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/Dec 4th 2006 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/Dec 4th 2006 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/Dec 4th 2006 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/Dec 4th 2006 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/samsungs-ultra-messaging-i600-gets-official-worlds-thinnest/Dec 17th 2006 6:20PM
