Pros:

Small, Light, qwerty keyboard, Nav system

Cons:

Texting takes a while, VERY Fragile.

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.
