Samsung U740 Video Tour

Apr 16, 2007, 3:57 PM by Eric Zeman

Our video review of the Samsung U740, Verizon's other messaging feature phone.

To complement our review of the LG enV, we take a look at Verizon's other messaging phone for mainstream users, the Samsung U740. The Samsung is significantly smaller and thinner than the enV, but does that make it better?

Good review

I own this phone and it only took me a few days to get accustomed with the numbers while in landscape mode, and texting is a breeze with a little practice. I do everything in landscape mode do to the great speaker phone, and the ability to use it while the phone is closed. Good review I don't think this phone is getting the attention it deserves, its a great phone as your review clearly pointed out.

i wish they would have gotten a qvga screen in there and better keyboard. if so this would be a hit.

Good Job

I thought it was a decent review, although I think you spent too much time on the texting issues. It would have been nice to see some of the other features of the phone such as the camera quality and the voice to text feature. All in all it was very easy to follow, and i look forward to some more video reviews from you.
