Product Description

 
The Samsung SCH-u740 earned the moniker, “The Alias” for a variety of reasons. Firstly, the dual-hinge design allows you to open the phone to standard, and landscape configurations. Secondly, the slim and compact design houses a full QWERTY keyboard for easy text messaging. What you get with the SCH-u740 is a mobile experience that continues to surprise you with its new and inventive features. Multimedia options include a built-in camera and camcorder, plus access to Verizon’s V CAST service where you can stream and download music and video clips anywhere you decide to roam. The Alias will change the way you look at cellular phones with its one-of-a-kind design and cutting-edge ergonomics.

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...

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...
