Samsung U740 renamed to Alias

William Shakespeare once wrote 'What's in a name?'. If you're Verizon Wireless, you're probably hoping that changing the name of the Samsung U740 to 'Alias' will stir-up some additional sales...

yeah i have this phone and i love it, but my only problem is, like someone else said, it does NOT charge well at all. i'll charge it at night and bring it to school for 6 hours, and it will have 2 bars left. you think a couple texts wouldn't wear out a phone?
actually this is my second phone of this type, because the first one stopped charging altogether at one point.
still love it, regardless of that

SAME HERE. Odd thing about it is, this just started recently happening...

When I first got my phone in September of 2007, I would charge it once overnight and it would last a good solid 2-3 days depending on how much I text/call (and I frequent both, usually). Now it dies within 5-7 hours of me just flipping open the screen to peruse the time. I admit to dropping it a couple of times, but that shouldn't drastically affect it like it has, should it?

Also, I seem to get less reception in places where usually all my friends would be complaining and I would come to the rescue with MY phone but now I can't. And I have verizon, btw.

I have this phone, have had it for a while, and I love it.
It's really good for texting, although it takes some time to get used to it, I can text faster than people with t9 and I can also text without looking (complete with punctuation)
It's one of the best phones on the market at the moment, I think you should get it!
Don't be a wuss! do it!
You'll like it

NOT WHAT IT SEEMS, LET ME TELL YOU THIS.

i have this phone and its great and i love it, but i had my first alias stolen, so i got another alias, because i love it so much. but the second one i got, seemed to suck pretty badly.

1)it doesn't take calls unless its on speaker. which is pretty annoying. when its not on speaker, i can't hear anything and they can't hear me.

2) the screen "blinks" and flickers. and the screen doesn't show up at all when i flip it the long way.

3) battery sucks. doesn't last nearly as long as it should.


sad thing? people who have used this told me that all of this was to be expected?

i've basically concluded that verizon wireless has( although the coolest looking phones as well) the cheapest phones out of any other phones in any other network.

Charging seems is the problem. No charge appears randomly. I believe there is A Problem with this phone, especially I read here people having charging problems.
Actually I hate verizon
