I got this phone for my little brother... it was free out the door, and i would still get that $50 rebate (wow!!) my brother is 12, and i needed a way to communicate with him for kids thing (you know... picking him up from school, tell him to clean his room when i'm out, etc..) well, as others mentioned, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID!!! Phone design is very nice.. small, and cute.. perfect for my 12 years old bro.. and the feature was descent.. basic camera, alarm, bluetooth, etc.. but the main problem is the SPEAKER!!!! he could barely hear the rington so could i.. and the side button for camera works even when the phone was closed.. so his phone took about 10 pictures when it was in his pocket.. not bad phone except the sound... so i brought it back to the verizon store and got him a juke... for a same price...

We were due for our Verizon upgrade, and this phone was free for my husband and myself after we purchased the Samsung Alias for our daughter. All we need is a basic PHONE, and this seemed to fit our needs, until we used it for a few days. My husband missed every call, because the ring volume, even on high, was too quiet, and the vibrate mode was barely noticeable. His also started taking pictures of the inside of the leather case, randomly, throughout the day. After less than a week, he's trading his in for an LG VX5400, and if he likes that one, I may do the same before our 30 days is up. My daughter loves her Samsung Alias though, so that's good!

crappy phone

I hatd this phone. I had this phone for all of 18 hours before I took it back to the verizon store complaining that they sold me a lemon.

The phone feels kinda crappy first off, it's cheap plastic, eerily light weight, and the lid has a flimsy bounce to it whenver you open or close it; it just feels cheaply made. Secondly, the phone couldn't maintain a signal long enough to make a phone call. I would call anyone @ anytime, and the phone would just stall for 2 minutes, then drop the call. I'm not even exaggerating, everytime I went to call someone, I had to take the battery out of the phone, and put it back in so the phone would work properly.

As for it's ability to take phone calls, I don't know, YOU CAN'T HEAR THE RING. This phone's sound quality is sooo low. And for those like me, who also use their cell phone as an alarm clock, you know how vital it is to own a phone with a nice loud annoying ring.

All in all, it was the cheapest phone in the store, and I would say that you get what you pay for. However my phone I owned before this one was also a Samsung, and worked better then this junk... moreover that phone was a 5 year old phone.

So really, I think the Samsung sch-u410 is just a cheaply made piece of crap. Go for the extra 30-40 dollars, and buy a phone that works....
