Samsung FlipShot Review
Verizon Wireless 3MP phone
The Samsung FlipShot U900, which replaces the A990, is a modern flip phone with rotating display that is targeted to the consumer who is looking for an easy to carry device with an integrated 3MP autofocus camera. It is available in two color choices: matte black with silver trim, or in a stylish red with silver trim. Both options are up to personal tastes, but ...

1. Excellent phone for the price

Despite PhoneArena's review, I find this phone has excellent features, and is very appealing to people when they see that your phone can actually swivel. It has every single converter imaginable, size, weight, volume, length, temperature, and currency. You really can't go wrong with this phone, the call quality is excellent, and the camera is phenominal. The speakers are very loud, but I miss the music player from the VX-8500 chocolate. The 2.5mm jack is a let down, I had to get an adapter from Radio Shack, save yourself the time, and make sure you get the one with the 3 black rings. Verizon's website also has this listed as sdHC compatible, and its not, the max size is 2gb, but its not an iPod, and i bought it for the camera aspect, so it doesnt bother me. The screens are finger print magnets, and have to be wiped off every few seconds. I bought a $10 clear lexan case for my phone off ebay, at half the price of a leather case, it provides just as much protection, and keeps the natural beauty of the phone. It does take some time to adjust to the phone and learn how to work the camera when the screen is flipped, but it makes for getting that perfect shot very quick after the first week. I personally recommend this phone to anyone who wants to stand out from the crowd and doesnt want to carry a camera and iPod around.

i think the phone is great. AND YES you can check the time without opening the phone, you just have to hold the button in!! duh! i mean come on.. all the people that say this phone sucks are stupid. you just have to play with it. i've had no problem with my phone getting scratched, you just have to take care of it. apparently most people dont take care of theres. i think the font is fine, and you can change the size too. like i said, you just have to play around with it.

3. hate it

this phone is absolutely terrible. i've had to for some months now and all i've had is problems mainly with texting. ie: when the view now view later screen comes up it will say one persons name and then it will really be from another person, delivery fails constantly and freezes the screen, delivery is said to be incomplete but the person somehow recieves the message. the camera is nothing to go crazy about, and the buttons are way to small to text on. it just ultimately pisses me off constantly. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE.
camera and the effects and editing you can use on your pictures after you take themthe buttons for texting the easy to scratch surface performance in general no many. you also can't check the time by clicking a button on the side like most phones. you have to open the whole phone up and close it again to see the time.

The phone is stupid. I thought it was going to be the best thing in the world but i was obviously wrong. The camera isint anything special, texting on it sucks (buttons are way to small), capitalizes random letters and scratches way to easily. The speakers are not good and it echoes every onece in a while. I dont recomend it at all.

i like the phone. camera is great. to the person that said this phone does not zoom.... yes you can. you have to change the resolution to a low resolution, then you can zoom. my speakers sound like they are blowing out, but music sounds good. also, when i text, phone automatically capitalizes random words. even if you set the text to all lower case letters. i like the phone, no other complaints.

6. Nothing to flip about

I purchased this about two months ago and wish to heaven I'd returned it within the 30 day time frame. While it's snappy looking and eye catching, esp. when people see you using it, it's not durable and the front isn't made out of a hi-quality durable plastic. It was scratched to hell the first couple weeks, and I didn't even drop it. The key pad is already giving me trouble. Not a great effrot by Samsung, which surprises me since they're a good name; I expected more. I'm going to have to upgrade soon as just looking at it makes me angry.
The camera is very nice, that was the thing that grabbed me when I first saw and heard about it. Like I said, it's cool and snappy looking but that's where it ends. Wish I still had my old LG.

Finally someone thought of it... A camera with a phone included and not the other way around.
Kudos!!

I wanted a unique flip phone, that not many people have, and works great. This is the ticket. I love it. I have taken soo many pictures. The price is worth every penny. I looked at other phones such as the Gleam, too boring, and the Voyager, too expensive. This phone is great, and I love every part of it!

LOVE this phone. Camera takes good quality pics and has a variety of features. Phone has everything I need and then some.
Regarding the reviewer who said you can't do zoom, it only works at a resolutions of 1024 X 768 or lower, as stated in the user's manual.
