Cell Phones : Samsung SCH U740 Alias

I got this phone as an update and let me tell you, it is the most AMAZING phone EVER!! i thought the env was way too big so i got this cause i am a texting machine! it was at first hard to get used to the buttons, but honestly after a day, it was all ingraved in my head. It gets no fingerprints unlike the chocolate, and still has music and all the looks and style of any other phone. The speaker phone is GREAT! it is clear and the phone has a lot of memory to store all of your favorite photos or music. It also has a flash which comes VERY much in handy. All in all, this phone is worth the day to get used to, and at 100 bucks, it is a bargain!!! Hide Full Review

i got this phone for 70 bucks. i love the full keyboard, and you get v cast and the internet for a month for free which is nice. texting is so easy and so is calling, that was why i got this over then envy, when im on the phone i like it to actually reach my mouth and not have the speaker be on my cheek. oh yeah and this is SUPERR thin. the pictures are ok, and the video is only 15 seconds but its all still good. buy it.

I love this phone I got it almost three weeks ago & was so happy that they came out with an all black one cuz the gold was kinda cheesie to me. I liked the whole aspect of the dual flip and the camera was great. But, it was a tad bit hard to figure out at first but now I'm a pro. Hide Full Review

After using this phone for about a month I have only 1 or 2 real complaints about it. I love so many other features I'm just gonna suck it up though! I switched from a Palm Treo 650.



The issues I have with the SCH-U470 is the lack if a "recent texts" feature. My treo had a window that popped up when you composed a new text or placed a new call that would show you the 10 most dialed or most texted contacts. This was so useful, it really sucks not having this feature. It takes forever to compose a text message with this phone! It takes an average of 10 key presses to compose a text!?!? There is no way to assign a shortcut key for a new text message, only for the inbox!

The other issue I have is when you "reply" to a text message you cant see the message you are replying to! The phone only shows you the message you are currently composing! These are pretty annoying oversights by Samsung especially considering the emphasis they put on texting with this phone? Oh well, the good still outweighs the bad so I'll keep it until handspring comes out with a treo worth buying. Hide Full Review

I love this phone. However, I had it for 11 months and the audio stopped working on phone calls, but the speaker phone worked. So I question the durability of the phone a little but. Verizon did send me a new one because it was still under warranty, so that was good.

I would definitely recommend this phone. Hide Full Review
