Cell Phones : Samsung Glyde SCH-u940

I have had this phone for almost 3 months, so its not new to me. I thought I could grow to like it, but I'm not!! The touch screen is awful. Either you press a "button" and the phone does not react at all or it activates the wrong "button." For instance, I attempt to push the "8" when dialing and the "5" actually appears on the screen (this is not a once or twice occurance either, it occurs often). Or you get a phone call and you hit the answer "button" multiple times but it does not activate so you miss the call. Also, the speakerphone sucks. It is so quite on the loudest setting you have to hold it near your ear to hear it (I have no hearing problems). What good is that? When you receive a picture message, the phone has no capability to be able to increase the size of the picture you received. I have also been scrolling through my contacts looking for a phone number and ended up dialing a contact I did not want, then when it starts dialing, because 90% of the time the touch screen doesn't work, I can not disconnect from the call and have to wait for the other party to hang up to end the phone conversation.

Last, but not least you have to go through multiple screens to do anything. To dial the last number you called, first you have to unlock the phone, than click on "Menu", than "Recent Calls", than "Dialed", than you can select the last number you called. It can get very annoying especially when your use to the older phone when you just hit the "send" button twice.

I DO NOT recommend this phone!! Hide Full Review

This phone appears great from the outside but try making some phone calls on it and you will realize that the touch screen is terrible. You want to dial a 1, the phone doesn't register, you want to dial a 5 it will register an 8. So on and so forth. Basically if you do anything more than text, you need to get a voyager, thats what I have and it is leaps and bounds above this phone. Better keyboard, better touch screen, external send and end buttons (you don't realize how much you miss these when you don't have them). Hide Full Review

I just got this phone within the last 24 hours and I fell in love. It takes a little to get use to but if you are techie then it is no problem. I love the touch panel. It is very sensitive and you can control it in the tools. A memory card is needed for the MP3 storage capacity. The music setup CD & USB cord was included which saved me compared to my last phone. The clarity of calls through Verizon are sharp. I would recommend this phone to anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to the Iphone. Hide Full Review
