Durable phone with great features! November 17, 2008
I have had my phone for almost two years. It took a short time to get used to it because it has a slim profile, so I actually dropped it several times in both open and closed positions but it has endured. I was concerned about the size of the keys because they are small compared to regular phone keys.
I've since gotten used to the feel of the phone and I like the slim profile. It fits in my purse as well as my back pants pocket without feeling like a packed wallet. I've gotten used to the keys and am quite adept at texting and gaming. I loaded up a microSD card and was able to play music for over 4 hours on the standard battery and still had two bars left. The speakers are great! I normally keep the front touchscreen buttons locked, but they work fine without having to pinpoint the very center.
I like that I can switch from the landscape mode (speakerphone) to the portrait mode without having to disconnect. However, you can't go the other direction without first putting the phone in speakerphone mode.
I've also tried the VZ Navigator feature (added fees associated) and it works as well as many of the stand alone GPS systems on the market. Picture clarity is good, and again, speakers work great.
The camera features a flash and the pictures and video are good quality. If there is one negative thing that I can say about the phone is that it does take a few seconds for the camera/video to setup. Not a big deal if you're just taking a still shot of something or someone posing, but if you're trying to get a photo quick, you might not make it.
Another feature that some may not realize, but I found when talking with a Verizon rep one day, this is one of the few phones that has a feature to block individual incoming phone numbers or email addresses from the phone itself. It's not a quick option, like a one button option when you're reading the message, but it is in the messages settings menu. You might get an error message when it transmits to Verizon (Action not allowed), but it will work.
Overall, I rate this phone as excellent. Not sure what I will step "up" to when it's time for an upgrade. Maybe I'll try another color!
Great Phone November 16, 2008
This phone is great; I've had it for about a month. The phone is small considering it has a QWERTY keyboard. The only two downsides of this phone is it takes a lot of time to send picture messages, and the buttons are a bit small (you will get used to it). Otherwise, it is a great phone. I'm really impressed, and I would definitley recommend it.
Love my Alias November 16, 2008
When it was time for a new phone, a friend suggested I try her Alias since she knew I was interested in a qwerty keypad - wow, I really love the dual keypad on this phone!
Best phone I've ever had September 28, 2008

The Samsung Alias (or SCH-u740 for people who own the older one) is still the best phone I've ever owned. Landscape mode is perfect for playing games, surfing the web, watching videos and texting. Standard mode is comfortable for talking and the call qualitly is great. The features are pretty good as well. There's your standard stuff like an alarm clock, notepad, calculator, stopwatch and calendar. There are other apps available for download from Verison (for a fee, of course). This is a great phone if you decide to subscribe to their V Cast service because the speakers are nice and loud and the screen is bright and sharp.
You will have to get used to the QWERTY keyboard at first because the keys are pretty small. But with some practice you'll do just fine. There are some things that will only work in landscape mode however and I don't like that too much... Not a real big of a deal since you'll mainly use it in landscape mode for everything other than talking anyway. Get it!
 well it gets the job done September 18, 2008

I dont have this phone exactly i have the original champane colered one for about 1 year. Just today i purchaed a lg dare because i got tyred of this phone, but overall this phone is pretty good and it pretty cool i mean it flips 2 ways. Other than that this phone is pretty standard other theres nothing special about it. No cool features or anything. I have to say though that this phone is very durable. I throw this phone around a lot and theres nothing wrong with it, besides a few scratches. So buy this phone if you just want a phone good with text messages.
