Samsung SCH U740 Alias (Verizon Wireless)

This is awesome phone for me I have used a Razor for years and love the slim design, and this has all of that plus the full keyboard.
Only function it doesn't have that my Razor did is a button on the side to light up the front display.
Otherwise this is a great phone

Phone is very user friendly. Only thing is watch the case you put it in because the volume buttons stick out off the side and if your case is tight it will mute your incoming calls. You will hear a very brief ring and then silence. That is the only negative thing I can come up with. Volume can be quite loud which is fine by me as I work in noisy conditions. Has a good feel to it. I have bigger fingers but am able to use the keyboard just fine. If your thinking about it you wont be disappointed.

I love the full keyboard and how loud the speakers can play music. I dont like how it will shut itself off sometimes when i get a text. The camcorder and camera are awesome too

It is not bulky at all. It fits in pockets, even those small little pockets. It works like a regular flip phone, or flips open side ways to expose a full keyboard. This phone is absolutely awesome. I can't think of anything we don't like about it.

Recommeneded Seller!! The product was received as promised, it was shipped quickly, and the seller communicated with me.

This was a christmas gift for my son and it works great and he loves it. Not a problem with delivery or the product. Will use this supplier again.

I was using a LG Envy. That phone is big and drain the battery so I got an extended battery and it got BIGGER. LG tries hard to make a good phone, I guess the hardware is not bad but the software is amature-ish. Envy couldn't do speaker phone unless u open the the flip, option menu is skimpy, setting alarm takes way to many buttons strokes, touch pad is a car accident waiting to happen. So I bought a Samsung Alias. I had a samsung before and compare to LG, everything is a little better, but just. (i have had 77 phones and I know what I want) The Alias is smaller but still drains a lot of power (maybe I talk too much), so I bought an extended battery; even with the extended battery, the phone is acceptably small. The flip panel feels flimsy so using it will take some care. Buttons are small, so people like Shaq should not even try. Some awkwardness comes when the phone is sideways and trying to dial numbers (they r sideways too). Software is better than LG but take a lesson from SonyEricsson smartphone P1. The Alias is difficult to use when hooking on to the internet becoz it does not have touch screen; that round dial is a lousy mouse. Ring volume is weak even at max. Every phone maker should use the charging system from Sony Ericsson. Speaking of all the phone makers..why can't you people use the same kind charge system, with same plugs and adaptors for power and ear phones and everything?

Hey, you phone engineers, it can't be that tough to design the perfect phone. For dialing numbers, DON'T use touch screen, it's dangerous. Flip open to reveal a larger screen WITH touch screen. Full qwert key board is a must. I understand size is a concern, Nokia made a phone that opens to reveal a full key board with half on the right and half on the left; it also had a button dial board on the outside.

The Alias could have been a great phone but it feels like Samsung rushed it out and was only 75% done with the design. In general, I feel the Korean phones are just inferior. Too bad Sony Ericsson doesn't make smart phones for Verizon (for that matter, Nokia. HTC also sucks, very disappointing)

Is a nice phone. The QWERTY keyboard is taking sometime to get used to. Is sturdy. The numbers on the phone are a little small and hard to see.

Quick shipment of product. Payment terms were well described on the product listing. Description of product was accurate. Good overall experience.

I originally bought the samsung SCHU740 Alias, but did not receive that phone in the mail; instead I receive another phone that he was selling also that was $50 cheaper than the one I bought. Also, the phone that he sent was even $60 to $80 cheaper with another seller. He did give me refund of $50, this was the price difference between the price of the phone that he sent me and the phone I originally bought. Did not trust this seller with sending the phone back, because I didn't think that I would get all my money back. He quickly refunded my money on the price difference ($50) cause he did not have the phone that I wanted in the first place, and claimed he did not have it in stock and in the stated condition I orignally bought the item. DON'T BUY FROM THIS SELLER, HE PROBABLY WILL SEND YOU THE WORNG PRODUCT AND LIE ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE PRODUCT ALSO.

This is my third Alias, and the others died due to my own dumb fault (water and crush). I love it, great phone!

Its a good phone, with awesome features. The buttons are a little smaller than I hoped for, but I have big hands. The menu is different, yet cool. The speaker is very loud, hard to miss a call. The battery life is very very long, compared to my RZR. Which is what I was looking for in a phone. Over all, its a good phone. Would I buy another one after this one is done- its possible.

I bought a Alias for my wife since she wanted to text more. After she got her's I got one for myself. We both like the fact that it is a dual flip phone. She says the buttons could be bigger. I wish it had the anounce caller that my other verizon phone had. The battery life is average and it's small and compact. Hooking to my pc or a bluetooth is a snap! The camera takes good pictures and the video is pretty good too. I don't know if it is the ring tones themselves or the phone, but a few of them you can barely hear. The one's I downloaded that is! charge time is quick and battery talk time is fair to average. I don't use the music player that much, but from what I have it works great. It will just kill your battery a lot faster!
If you want a good phone for talk, texting, playing music or bluetooth this would be the one to get. It's easy to understand and use. Just be sure you buy one that comes with the USB cord and the headphone adapter, ac/ and car adapter. You don't need any software as everything is easy to download. The USB adapter is a must if you want to update the phone or down load or upload pictures. Watch the prices. Don't go for the first one you see. you'll find a great deal.

Great for texting and just an overall wonderful phone! This is my second one first one just got too worn in....highly recommend if you text alot!

Excellant phone this is one of two I purchased for my daughters and they truely love them thanks a bunch

This is one of the coolest phones ive ever had. I loved it the first day i saw it. Its an amazing phone.

The product was in excellent condition despite being used and is 100 percent functional extremely happy

This is a Great Phone !! Thanks !! Love it ! I would definetly buy again ! Great Price too !! Immediatly impressed by the Samsung SXH U740 Alias for Verizon

Sleek design and sparkling champaign color make this cell phone very stylish. The dual flip feature is unique and the hinge seems stable. One flaw with the champaign model vs the more recent black and silver generations of Samsung Alias phones is the smaller keys, making it easy to press more than one buton at a time. The battery life is excelent, able to retain charge for 2+ days. Camera operates in landscape and portrait.

I love this phone. I got one of the gylde phones and it was half of what the Alias is. I went back to my Alias.

yes youngbru has great service even thought my phone needs were not fit i sent it back and i got all my money amazing service i would definitely buy from him again!

GREAT TO DEAL WITH...FAST AND PERFECT....PHONE CAME AS DESCRIBED AND CONDITION WAS PERFECT......NICE TO DEAL WITH AND QUICK TRANS

The Alias is one of the best texting phones in the world , that's not touch a screen I give it a[n] "5 out a 5"
