Samsung SCH-U740 Cell Phone User Reviews

Pros: sleek duel flip flash full qwerty key board

Cons: 1.3 megapixel camera small buttons

Summary: this phone is good if you are a texting type of person, sleek and fits right into your pocket

Pros: The dual flip screen, styling, slim and fashion-forward

Cons: The hinge is VERY delicate, extremely small buttons

Summary: The "alias" is a decent phone for younger people who text a lot, but there are some things that I just don't like about it. The buttons are very small and somewhat hard to press, (if I didn't have long nails, it would be really hard to deal with) sometimes when it's open one way, and then opened the other way, the screen is still flipped around. I think it's a good "filler" phone. If you just want it for texting and making calls, then go for it, but anything else will KILL the battery. Heaven forbid if you dropped it, the back will come flying off and the battery will pop out, so be careful and make sure you get the insurance!!

Pros: QWERTY, ingenious form-factor - can use as reg phone and transforms into a qwerty text friendly messenger, small and thin yet durable and functional for both calls and texting

Cons: Camera is very weak (but you didn't inquire about this phone for it's camera anyway - it's the QWERTY you want - screen could have been a little bit bigger - did we really need to have a half inch black space with *verizon* label and a few milimeters with *samsung* smacked on it? Poor use of screen real estate there especially since the landscape mode could have rivaled or been up to par of a sidekick - and tho you can use speakerphone with the phone closed, the speakers are inside so it comes

Summary: Overall, I LOVE this phone! It was my first introduction to a QWERTY keyboard on a phone and now I know I can never go back to any phone that does not have this wonderful feature. NOTE: It DID take me 2 weeks to get used to the keyboard and landscape mode, but now that I've had the phone for over a year, I will be sad to have to choose another phone when it comes time to upgrade - GROW YOUR THUMB NAILS just a little bit and you will never have any problems texting on this phone (I have big hands too). I keep looking to see if Samsung or another brand comes out with more *dual flip* phones like this one. The pivot is incredibly sturdy with no signs of *weakness* - it does feel slightly stiff in the beginning and then slightly *loosens* afte a few weeks but it's almost as if a little bit of oil has been applied and it pivots from flipphone to landscape mode flawlessly. I've dropped it on tiles, concrete, marble floors and in the street and it doesn't even show any signs of ever having been dropped! Phone reception in both receiving and sending are excellent as well - other verizon customers sound like they are standing right next to me, and non- verizon people merely sound like you can tell they are on a phone. It's thin and can slide into pockets w/o a huge bulge and because it is so light and thin, you actually can lose it in a medium sized purse if yo just drop it in there. I suggest an external leather case that clips to your pants or some light-up stick-ons accessories so you can find it easier. I do like strong vibrate phones since I suffer from nerve deafness and rely on vibrate mode to let me know I have a call, but it isn't so weak so I only miss a few calls this way. The loudest ringtone it has is the musical funky tone everyone has nowadays. Usually I have it near me in view so I can tell if I am getting a call. If you want QWERTY, a unique design, excellent reception and small/thin with clear LCD, this is the phone for you. just give the keyboard 2-3 weeks chance before you toss it lol. Oh, btw, most new phones coming out now, like the LG Lotus from Sprint, have a similar keyboard layout.

Pros: Sleek in design, fun to play with, music player, full qwerty keyboard, duel opening, and durable.

Cons: Small buttons, and hard to differenciate numbers from letters (AT TIMES).

Summary: I have not had this phone very long but I have dropped it and no damage has come of it, i love to open and close it, texting is a breeze, and i love the design and just everything about it. i completely reccommend this great phone to anyone looking for a good buy.

Pros: Durable suprisingly, great for texting when you get used to the keyboard, cool design, lcd

Cons: Hard to type on keyboard for a while (then gets easier) hard to use for a while like a normal flip phone

Summary: I've had it for about a year and dropped it a lot, and it still works like the day i got it suprisingly. great for texting

Pros: qwerty keyboard, cool style, double-hinge, great for texting, LCD screen

Cons: small buttons,easy to scratch LCD screen, apps are only availible in landscape mode

Summary: its a great phone that has an awesome style and is great for textlovers. the only problem is that the buttons are kind of small and it is annoying that most of the get it now apps are only availible in landscape mode. other than than its a wonderful buy.

Pros: Cool phone (chicks dig it), pix are good, video is good, qwerty keyboard is nice once you get the hang of it.

Cons: "p" button hard to hit, internal memory low for most internet navigation, you must get more memory via micro flashcard (2GB) if you want to store videos, must have compatible data cable with drivers to sync to pc.

Summary: I wish I would have spent the 50 bucks on the data cable and software, I would be using my phne as a modem now and I would shut down my dsl, (I work nights so I have unlimited mins...)

Pros: this is a flip phone and a great transformer with an useful and quite appealing qwerty keyboard.this phone is user friendly and fits in pocket very well. overall the whole package is what you can call it.

Cons: not a touch screen as some would prefer and sometimes turns while a person is talking on the phone during call mode. overall, a great quality and all in one phone. recommend it!!!

Summary: nice phone quality, great overall features and functions. also very convenient qwerty keyboard with a very smooth design. recommended to all you who dont like a big square box cell phone in your pocket, which can become quite annoying. it has a very unique and sleek sexy design. dig itt. or be squareddddddd!!!!!
