Samsung SCH-u740 - Great on the Go but Disappointing Battery Life

Date of Review:  Jul 9, 2008
The Bottom Line: Definitely the phone to get if you don't want a Blackberry, Treo, or iPhone, but want to get something great for texting and work!
Review: Now that I've had this phone for a few months now I can actually write a review on it. As a previous user of only Nokia and Motorola phones, I've recently given in to buying Samsung.

The screen size on this phone is pretty good...

Great multipurpose Phone

Date of Review:  May 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: With the flip design, QWERTY keyboard, and MP3 playback ability, this is a great multifunction phone.
Review: I've had Verizon Wireless for over two years now. When it came time to renew my contract in November, they also offered me $100 credit towards a phone with the New Every Two program. When I first saw the SCH-u740, I liked the fact that had a flip...

Great Teenager Phone

Date of Review:  Apr 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: Sleek, durable, and functional - excellent camera; excellent phone clarity; lots of photo and music storage space; great phone for texting and surfing the Internet
Review: When the daughter turned 13, I offered to get her a mobile phone. My plan was of course to get her a basic (cheap) phone she could use to call home or use in an emergency - you know, the free phones they give you when you sign up for a new line of...

Sometimes you Feel a Little Qwerty, Sometimes you Don't

Date of Review:  Jan 19, 2009
The Bottom Line: If you love to text, this is the phone for you.
Review: The Samsung U740 (aka Samsung Alias) replaced my absolute wonderful Samsung T300. I am still a bit sad about replacing it. Sure the phone was about 7 years old, but it still was a bit before I was ready. Don't worry though, the Samsung U740 will...

Great Samsung and perfect for texting

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2009
The Bottom Line: The bottom line for this phone is it's perfect texting and updating your Facebook status phone. It's not so great for business with its limiting data features.
Review: The Samsung SCH-u740 is the perfect teenager phone. It's perfect for texting, but if your primary use is going to be for business, don't bother picking up this phone. The battery life is great however, the phone can only hold 50 text messages at...

The perfect phone for the serial texter

Date of Review:  May 1, 2008
The Bottom Line: Absolutely recommended for the texting set, and a great choice for everybody else too
Review: I bought this phone in the summer of 2007 under a promotion at Verizon. I bought it because I'm a serial texter, and the QWERTY keypad really appealed to me. I also liked how it had the hinged design that allows you to flip it vertically (to talk)...

Great Phone!

Date of Review:  Dec 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: Great service/signal, lots of options/features!!
Review: I upgraded to Verizon Wireless from Nextel about eighteen months ago. While the Verizon store I went to only had a limited selection of phones at the time, I more or less chose the Samsung Alias at random. I must say it was an excellent choice which...

A Solid Phone for the Price

Date of Review:  Jul 18, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a mid-range flip camera phone with QWERTY keyboard, this is it.
Review: After over four years of using the same cell phone, I finally got around to upgrading in May of 2008.

With the recent concern over cell phone radiation, I decided to play it safe and try to find a phone with a lower radiation emission...

A text messenger's dream!

Date of Review:  Jun 15, 2008
Review: I've had this phone since it first came out, and I still love it! Up until Samsung introduced this brilliant design, all I used was Motorola phones. As a text addict, it was impossible to resist the ability to switch to the QWERTY keyboard AND...
