GrinderCB's review of the Samsung Intensity U450 / DoubleTake

Good Reliable Basic TXT'ing Phone
Got the Intensity for my mom using VZW's BOGO offer when I got my Incredible. It doesn't fall under VZW's "3G Multimedia" category so it doesn't require a data plan, but it does support their V Cast and Mobile Web services, but not strongly. My mom had no trouble learning how to do stuff with the Intensity; in fact she wanted a QWERTY phone so she could TXT the grandkids easier. No problem. I didn't even have to show her how to enter symbols or anything like that. Since the menu system is the standard VZW type, her learning curve was very low. It also paired right up with her Motorola H15 Bluetooth earpiece without the usual finicky-ness. So far we've seen no problems, no freeze-ups, no blank screens, no spontaneous resets, etc. And she's getting about 10-14 days on a full battery charge using about 400 minutes a month and about 100 TXT/PIX messages. Very good phone for what it does.
Pros: Easy to learn for non-techies, reliable, excellent battery life
Cons: Can't think of any
