Samsung SCH-U740 Review

After reviewing the LG enV, we had high hopes for the competing Samsung U740, since both devices offer a QWERTY keypad. Unfortunately, we came away from the U740 with a feeling that Samsung dropped the ball when designing this phone. The U740 shares none of the “high end” features found on the enV, and even the QWERTY keypad is difficult to use. The camera is only 1.3MP, the internal display is not QVGA, the stereo speakers are distorted at high volumes, and the keypad buttons are tiny and crammed together. The call reception ...

I have had this phone for a couple of weeks, I thought it would be great, but o, was I wrong. I can't make calls very easily, the reception is bad. The key board is too small for every day use. Also, this phone is just overall pretty boring. I am trading in for the enV2 or Voyager tomorrow. Samsung needs some work on their texting phones...I heard the Glyde isn't to good either.

I'm 15 & a female & the phone broke really easy for me. One day this guy pushed me because we were playing around or whatever & i dropped my phone & the battery popped out and when i turned it back on the screen was sooo messed up. Then the battery (maybe it was just the charger) whatever it was stopped charging. So my phone died out within hours of that.. I had only had the phone for like 3 months..

I am 14 years old and this is my 1st phone and i love it. The guy who says it doesn't have talk to texting feature is a retard because it ha it. A lot of people say it breaks easy but mine hasn't (being a teen and a guy things usually break a lot in my life).

25. ughh this phone sucks

so when i first got this phone in april 07 i thought it was amazing! i couldnt get enough of it! until a few months later the battery started dying faster and faster everyday!! i used to not have to charge it for about two days and now if i dont charge it everynight it does in about five hours!!

another thing i hate about it is the camera. it totally sucks.
my cousin has the enV and her camera was amazing i got sooo jealous when i saw it.

another problem thats happening now when i read a message in the regular mode then push reply and try to flip it so i can use the keyboard to text back the phone dies on me. then i have to wait for the dumb V cast video thing to be done when it powers up.

it also scratches very easily. i have paint chips missing off of it.

and sometimes it has like a battery fart so im pushing buttons and it takes like 7 seconds for it to catch up with me.

and i hate that when you set your phone to vibrate it vibrates three times when you get a text. so if its in your pocket you have to wait for the first three vibrates to be done to tell if its a call or just text.

i hate that you can only play games in the flipped mode.

and unless you have a chip it only fits like five songs on there.

and when you set a video to your background it had this dumb picture of a camera for a few seconds until it uploads your video.

i dont really mind the buttons, you get used to them after a day or two.

over all i loved it when i first got it but when you compare to other phones it just comes up short.

i would most definetly go with the enV2 than this phone. i find LG makes better phones than samsung anyways.

My friend has this fone and it is really nice if you text alot. It's really easy to adapt to pressing such small buttons. And one really cool thing I found about it is that you can set videos as your background. However, after having it for about 4 months, her fone died because it ran out of battery life, nothing out of the ordinary. But then she went charge it, and nothing happened. It wouldn't turn on or charge or respond. My friend took it to Verizon and they gave her a replacement fone. Then, within a month, the same thing happened! It died and wouldn't respnd. So, again, she took it into Verizon and she got the same fone. Now, I don't know why she would get the same fone that has died on her twice now, but maybe that says something about the fone. Other than that flaw, the loudness and clarity is great and there are many very cool features about it.

30. best phone ever!!!

I think people dont like this phone beacuse you have to be smart in order to use it and alot of people just arent. The buttons are just fine its super easy to txt and it does send pic msgs and it does have a vibrate mode. If you are right handed or left its easy to flip you just have to have common sense. So this phone is amazing. Ive dropped it in water and ive had it for almost a year and nothings wrong with it. Im sorry people feel this way about a great phone and arent smart enough in order to use it but maybe next time you should get the shrek phone its for kids but maybe it will be easier for you to use but be careful it has 3 buttons on it and that maybe hard for you sorry to be so rude but the SANSUNG U740 is the best phone ever :)
