Texting is fun, fast and convenient. Now, with the Alias™ better known as the u740, it's also stylish. Thanks to Samsung's dual-hinge design, we can put a full QWERTY keyboard in a mobile phone that's still slim and good-looking. Of course, the Alias does a lot more than text. It's a multimedia player. It takes beautiful photos and videos. It has Bluetooth® Wireless Technology. And that's just the beginning. To really find out what the Alias™ can do, open one up and see for yourself.

I love how it can either be a landscape or portrait. I also love the QWERTY keyboard. It's great for those who just need the Samsung SCH-U740 for occasional use for calls and messages. I like how the Samsung SCH-U740 gives you a status on the phone screen. I didn't know until I tried it that the camera also offers color effects like black and white, sepia, etc. If you message a lot, the QWERTY keyboard is a little small, but it's great for a compact phone. I compared it to my former Motorola RAZR, and it's a little skinnier than that. If you use the phone a lot, then the battery does wear a bit more, but no big deal since you have a charger with it.

I mainly got the Samsung SCH-U740 for the size and QWERTY keyboard, not to mention changing the display from a normal to a landscape message type. The QWERTY keyboard is easy to use, although on a bit of a small size, it works for me since I don't message often. Even the speakerphone has great sound quality. I like how you can change the front display to digital rather than analog. Also, you can display the alarm clock, voicemail, or message on the screen, which is very helpful especially with the alarm clock. I love Verizon. They have great reception everywhere with no dropped calls. I've only had the phone less than a month. I love the option of ring back tones rather than hearing a traditional ring. I'd get this phone if you just want something simple and you don't need that much other than occasional messaging and phone use.
