SCH-u740
IMO, Samsung makes cool gadgets but lousy phones. Terrible RF functionality. Last Sammy phone I had (SCH-A950) had reception quality not much better than a rock. However, the SCH-u740 has caught my eye. I have played around with it in the store and like the build quality and keyboard layout, love the feature set and dual hinge. In the store, the reception seemed to be pretty good.
I’ve read the PS reviews and forum for the phone but am coming here because this is where all the real Verizon phone experts hang out. Please provide opinion on RF quality of the SCH-u740. Currently carry Moto E815, so I’m used to excellent reception and don’t want to take a large step backward in reception quality.

yea, not so much
most they will do is put one in a mall if in building coverage is limited.

You're not going to get the kind of reception that you're currently receiving on your 815. Do you live in a high coverage area? Are most of your calls made in this area?
...
Spend most time in very high coverage area, but travel to or through fringe area often enough to need good reception phone.
...
That's not true. One of my phones is the a930, which is pertty good.
...
I like that phone too, just FYI they are coming out with a black model its already on the testman site! I'm holding out for the G'zOneTS but for some crazy reason its lame I will get the black U740 😎
...
WHo says you can only have one?! I have 2, and may have to add a 3rd line.
...
Gives me something to think about, I like the champagne color though, it's a little different.

The E815 has one of the best RF's, any phone VZW currently offers will be a step back.

How far a step back? Wife has 8300, Maybe not quite as good as 815, but perfectly acceptable. What I'm worried about is getting somthing on par with the a950 which was totally unacceptable.
...
I never heard anyone say a Samsung has good RF. I get complaints on a930, a950, even a990.
The U740 is so new, I haven't heard much on it. Personally. I think it looks too busy as a flip phone with all the buttons.

The only Samsung phone I have used that has good RF is the a650, but it is just a basic phone.

I had the a650 and I didn't think it was very good.\
Plus the hinge broke.
