Product Description
Released for Verizon Wireless, the Samsung SCH-U740 offers form and function. Replacing the multi-device syndrome by ingeniously blending the best of a mobile phone, personal data assistant (PDA) and email messenger in one easy-to-use compact device, users can use the SCH-U740 two ways as it opens in portrait mode to take and make calls and switches to landscape mode to type messages. The dual-band device is a truly essential entertainment business tool, with advanced features such as a built-in 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and VCAST Video and Music. The SCH-U740 also takes advantage of a 262K-color display to provide an impressive 176 x 220 pixels.

    I love this phone. The size is great, it's durable and doesn't get scratched up while in my pocket.

    As for not being able to listen to music via bluetooth, I don't know why some people say it doesn't work - I have a Jabra BT160 and it works great. I hit play on the phone and it automatically transfers the music to my headset.

    I also love the camera on this phone. It's only 1.3 megapixels, but it has more features and settings than some actual digital cameras I've seen, and definitely more than any other camera phone.

    Unless you have ridiculously fat fingers, the keys are fine for typing. My wedding band is size 10 1/2 and I have no trouble at all.

    I like that you can view text (SMS) messages on the outer screen. Great for driving. Speaking of texting while driving - with this phone you can actually speak your text messages! And the accuracy is a lot better than I anticipated!

    Lots of great features with this phone!

    Pros:
    **Has the Bluetooth Wireless!
    **V Cast Music and Video!- love the fact that I can use my phone when I exercise in the morning and don't have to bring my iPod…and can still use my phone!
    **3D Games - hubby loves this!
    **Online - needed for my business...even if I didn't though its still a great feature for this phone!
    **Easy Picture taking!...with the phone flipped in either direction…don’t even have to search for “take Picture” through the phone…there is a button to push and the camera starts immediately!
    **Great for people who text quite a bit because when the phone it flipped to it's side, you can text like a crazy person on an actual key board! Love the I can send a picture along with a text message as well!
    **Love the Camera-Camcorder - again easy to use and access.
    **Comes in the black or champagne...I have the black my sister has the champagne...after 2 months, both of our phones look like new (no scuffs, scratches...etc.)
    **Flip the phone to the side when someone is calling or when making a call and it goes to speaker phone method! Gota LOVE that!

    Cons:
    **Buttons are a bit small if you have large fingers or if you have a hard time seeing normal keys. This phone wouldn't work well for someone who makes calls without glasses...since the keys are not large and there are quite a few of them...but the numbers appear large enough on the screen that you can be sure you are typing in the right keys.
    **I am left handed too and sometimes when I flip the phone open when someone is calling, it opens to the side and I wind up going on speaker phone, but when I open it with my right hand I don't have that problem...but really, it not a big deal and in fact, I love the ease of using the speaker phone., so really this is not a con, but just something I thought I would mention!

    So why did I buy this phone? The features of course!

    Update: 9/10/07
    I went to Starbucks this weekend to get my regular Caramel Frappuccino. I dumped my ENTIRE drink head first into my purse. I freaked knowing my phone was inside my purse. I pulled over, grabbed for some tissue in the back seat and quickly pulled my phone out of the slushy coffee mess, whimpering as I didn't know if it would still work. Cleaned and dried it and called my husband hopping it would still work. It WORKS! It still works!

    Needless to say, I cried on the drive home from Starbucks because everything else in my purse from money, checks, and a book of stamps where just a mess!! --Hey, but at least my phone was safe!
