Samsung SCH-u740

Rated 2.7/5 by 7 users

It’s sleek, attractive and feature-rich. Samsung’s SCH-u740 slim dual-hinge design lets you view the display in either portrait or landscape mode. The QWERTY keyboard makes typing a breeze. And with easy access to Verizon’s V CAST services, it’s multimedia-capable. This is one cell phone that combines form and function beautifully.

This phone is a great steal at such a reasonable price tag. It has great signal and the full keyboard is amazingly easy to use. I liked the fact that flips open in two different ways and phone also feels very sturdy to hold on. It has a good display and camera works pretty fine.

It's thin, light, attractive and well worth the price tag. Even though the keyboard looks compressed I found it really comfortable to use on and it also has good tactile Key Feedback. 1.3Mp camera clicks decent quality pics and even the music player is fine. Nice clamshell phone to buy which comes with full qwerty keyboard.

This is an amazing phone with excellent flip screen and awesome set of features. There's an unique feature on the phone where you can just dictate and the phone tries to make up the sentences but it's still in beta version. However the buttons provided are a bit small and interface is slow, poorly designed, and inconsistent.

Great phone with slim, lightweight design on which messaging is just fun and it also has a good 1.3MP camera that takes decent pics even with low lighting. The screen is bright with good colors and even the call quality is great. But the fact that there is no 3.5mm headphone jack nor stereo blue-tooth disappointed me a lot, which makes it useless as an mp3 player.
