I have never heard more people B*@CH more in my LIFE!
Obviously you all have too much time on your hands to sit around griping about what phone sucks more, and how much a carrier sucks all because you don't like the way they do things.
If you don't like the product, then don't buy it! 65+ million people like VZW for some reason. 70+ million people like ATT&T.
Who gives a crap what they name THEIR PHONE!
Who gives a crap what they want THEIR PHONE to look like when you turn it on!
Who gives a crap what they have THEIR NETWORK do!
If you don't like it, DON'T buy it! Most of you probably have your MOM and DAD buy your service for you anyways, so don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

I agree. With that many customers they must be doing *something* right. And the best part is that with a free market if you don't like it you can do your own thing.
Phone Scoop forums are full of all sorts of HATER TOTS!! 😉
Verizon.....same crap different toilet
🤣 just like verizon, to hawk the same stupidly crippled and designed phone to people. for the fact here are the pros and cons of this phone. i had this for for one day and i sent it back.
PROS:
-the physical design (minus the "p" button)
-black or gold color options
CONS:
-it's a samsung
-Stupid verizon pay-us-now user interface which is crippled and useless and ugly.
-applications such as VZ NAVIGATOR can only be used in landscape mode....who the hell is going to have a clip big enough to fit the phone sideways for GPS?
-When on a call the itty bitty keys on the u740 are disabled. as if it isn't hard enough to find the right key in the daylight. it would be impossible in the dark.
the "P" button is in the corner ...

You forgot to mention the crippled bluetooth.
i know its great marketing strategy. won't people see through it?
or are the verizon customers lemmings?
lets get shafted on the UI, then the crippled bluetooth and now... same phone different name 😈

AS long as kool-aid drinking Verizon users keep paying for this crap "becasue its the Network", Verizon has no incentive to change the way they do business.
Deal with it.
Deal with it.
