Samsung U740 renamed to Alias

0. phoneArena posted on 06 Mar 2008, 03:24

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...

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

i'm with you on hating verizon. they don't really have any cool phones besides the dare, enV2, and alias.

i've had this phone for a while now and i LOVE IT!! it is practically indestructable. i've dropped it so many times i can't count.. it's a little scratched up now... but that's just from using it.. and dropping it about a zillion times. but it still works as well as the day i bought it. i love the QWERTY keyboard... i can't type on regular phones now. the buttons are a bit small. definitely not for people with FFS, but i have no complaints. i've never had any issues with the battery.. other than forgetting to charge but that's my fault. the camera works great, the sound quality is wonderful... it's just an all around fantastic phone. i think i'll keep it till it gives out from exhaustion..

Well i just ordered this phone online and am expecting it within the next week or so. I've seen alot of reviews about it and the major problem seems to be battery life and.. yeah that's it. I love the design and i've really wanted/needed a texting phone for awhile now and if all that is gonna be a problem is battery life i think that's fine, alot of you say you only get 24 hours out of a charge so.. why not put it on the charger when you go to sleep so that it's always charged and you only use it throughout the waking day, like 14-16 hours, in my case anyway.

um hello i have had every cell out there on verizons network seriously by far like this one the best i hated the env2 and the battery seemed to be way worse on that the only flaw this phone has is when ur listenin to music you cant recieve a text without having to restart the song again and to thoughs gay puns im a gay man to and never had a problem and they did update the alias alot accually

i hav this phone

53. Hate On (unregistered) posted on 24 Oct 2008, 13:33

I think that this is a perfect phone. I've had it for a while and the battery is not a problem. It falls and dosent scratch and the keypad is just fine. It may not seem better than the glyde, but it is because I've had the glyde and the touchscreen is not all that good. You have to press a button atleast 3 times to get it to work. Everybody needs to get out of the hype of the glyde is that it is not that good. The alias is better.

my brother has this phone and the battery stinks! you shut it sometimes and it turns off. Also, there are other websites where it says they stink.....warning: dont get it! its not worth it. We are getting a new phone for my brother. trust me!
