“Slim phone with a QWERTY keyboard - I'll never go back.”

I got this phone for free in Nov. 07 when I renewed my two-yr contract with Verizon.  That was the first good part - not paying for it.  And, it's an incredibly useful phone that still looks pretty good.  All I do is make phone calls and text message - but now that I have this QWERTY keyboard, text... read full review »

“FUN PHONE, TERRIBLE CAMERA”

I have this phone and thought it was the greatest when I got it. I loved how you could use it like a regular phone or go flip it sideways and text on a keyboard. I love my keyboard to text I can't seem to text the other way as fast as my 15 year old can. The only thing I do not like is the camera, the...

“AKA Alias”

“This phone has it all!”

I absolutely love my Samsung SCH-u740 phone!

I bought it because of the full QWERTY keypad and its dual-flip capability - but I've come to really depend on it for more than just texting! It's great for keeping reminders, playing games and taking impromptu video clips (just keep 'em short!).

Can't say I'm too excited about the camera - but it does okay in outdoor/bright light situations. Again, good in a pinch when you don't have your regular camera about.

It is fairly user-friendly, although I do sometimes have a bit of trouble with the keyboard, given that the keypads are on the small side, and... read full review »

“Let us all be thankful!”

I really like this pone.  It is comfortable to talk on! The only change I might make is I would separate the alpha and numeric buttons.

“I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PHONE”

i love this phone... bought it because my girlfriend had one and instantly I was in love.  My favorite feature is the dual flip side, so I can text on the keyboard.  Even the V-Cast music feature is awesome - i can download my favorite music via online or with a jack that plugs into my phone and also into the computer!  I highly reccomend this phone to anyone who is a daily text'er.  The picture quality could be a little better - i usually email the pics to my email address (from my phone) and am able to better view my pics

“Tight! perfect for feminine hands, easy to use, great sound!”

My only complaints are that the keypad backlight goes out during calls, including voicemail. That makes it hard to input your password at night!

Also, the phone doesn't have flexible memory: I could have 2G of memory on the SD card available but if my application memory is nearing  full, I can't download ringtones or get games.

This phone is awesome with its dual flip design and QWERTY keyboard. I love the size and feel of the buttons too.

“This phone does everything I need!”

I love this phone!  Perfect for texting, pictures, videos and some light web browsing.  The phone is useful for a lot, but isn't so technical that it becomes hard to use.
