Exceeds My Expectations
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I purchased the Samsung SCH U540 phone about 5 weeks ago to replace a very basic phone that was 5 years old. Quite a jump! I had no difficulty updating the carrier with the new phone info using the Internet. The phone was in excellent condition and was bundled with an AC charger, DC charger, belt clip and stereo ear buds with an in-line mic for hands-free operation. The SCH U540 features include Bluetooth, speakerphone, a 1.3 MP camera, video recorder, MP3 player and the usual software tools i.e. contact list, appointment scheduler etc. It also has Internet capabilities (which I don’t use) that include e-mail, and the ability to download video and music. I especially like the easy to read color screen, the large buttons on the keypad and the intuitive, easy to navigate menus although accessing some of the features seems to require an excessive number of selections. The voice recognition software in the speakerphone mode is excellent and you can dial numbers from the contact list by speaking a name you entered in the contact list – no “learning” is required – nice! Pictures from the camera seem “flat” but can be enhanced on a PC and I’ve even used a couple in a club newsletter that I publish. Soon after receiving the phone, a 2 GB memory chip and USB cable (with software) were purchased to transfer MP3s, pictures, video and contact information between my PC and phone. The MP3 player has no treble or bass controls but the sound through headphones is crisp and clear. The speakerphone stereo speakers can also be used to play music but the sound is a bit tinny. MP3’s can be played with the phone closed and there are touch controls on the front of the phone to pause, skip forward and skip backward. These controls are extremely sensitive and an inadvertent brush will activate them. Battery life has been good, I charge it for a couple of hours every three days or so – my phone call usage is quite light but I do use the MP3 player every day during my exercise routine. Overall the phone exceeds all of my expectations and I’m very happy with it.
