Samsung - SCH-u340 Cell Phone Review Summary

Samsung is a one of the leaders in the very competitive U.S. cell phone market and the Samsung SCH-u340 cell phone is certainly one of the reasons why. Our cadre of mobile phone savvy reviewers has mixed feelings about this flip phone; one reviewer stated: “I've been using my Samsung SCH-u340 for years now, and I absolutely love it. It hasn't failed me yet.” But another stated simply: “Look for something better,” citing poor battery life, and limited utility. The dual-band Samsung SGH-u340 features a digital camera, Bluetooth, 220 minutes standby time, and up to 3.5 hours of talk time.

Samsung sch-340u verizon cell phone. The phone itself is great. I have never had a problem. I wish the volume went a little higher. Also wishing it played polyphonic ringtones. Speaker phone works great. Has instant messengers but doesn't allow you to go online (not a problem with the phone, but verizon...

My mother bought me this Samsung cellphone as a birthday gift when my old phone broke.
Although I have had this one for about a year, I still have trouble using it. It just seems like there are so many different features to this phone when all I really need is to make calls, some text msging, and maybe...

     I changed from ATT to Verizon.  We got 2 new phones, both alike, the Samsung SCH-U340.  We chose them because of their bigger, separated dial buttons that you don't have to use your fingernail to dial.  Also, we chose them for their ease of use - I don't need to play games or get on the net, I just want to send and received calls.

     They worked OK for the first month or so, then even when charged overnight, gradually the battery would not last as long.  Finally it was to the point after 5 months that it would not hold a charge for a day. 

     We brought them back to Verizon. ...

I got this phone when I first signed up for Verizon Wireless about 2 years ago. It has worked well since then despite being dropped numerous times, submersed, and generally abused. It comes equipped with a camera (not a good one, but it takes pictures). It also has speech recognition capabilities, but I haven't really used it much so I am not sure how well that feature works. It does not have web browsing capabilities, something I hadn't noticed at the time of purchase. I believe it may come in other colors, but I have only seen it in this purplish/blue color. It has a long battery life and seems...

I've been using my Samsung SCH-u340 for years now, and I absolutely love it. It hasn't failed me yet. It's very, very durable, it's a cool flip phone, and although it doesn't have ringtones, you can get ringback tones. It's a prepay cellphone, and it's also a camera phone with the internet and AIM/Yahoo/MSN on it, so you're getting your money's worth and more. And for a prepay phone, it's amazing. The prepay plans go by INpulse. It works differently than regular tracphones in that you don't buy minutes. You buy 15, 30, and so on, dollar cards. They cost the amount they have on it, and when you... review »

This phone is great for a starter phone but, I have had it for almost a year and the screen is starting to go bad. There is black in both bottom corners and it is slowly starting to get bigger. But, overall it is a good phone for a beginner. I would recommend this phone to someonje who wants a cell phone and it would save money on buying a phone that you might not need everything that it does. This way you are getting a good cheap phone and once you have had it for a while you will be able to find out the phone that you would want that does just what you need it to do and nothing more. that way... review »

The Samsung cell phone SCH-u340 works just fine for me.  It isnt fancy but it does the job.. I really only like to use my cell for emergencies or mandatory calling.. I dont need email or internet although you can get that through this phone.. I can take great pictures to send to friends or family.. I have used this phone for years.  It isnt too expensive and is perfect for my needs.  sincerely,,Rosemary a Samsung cell phone user....

I do like the bigger buttons on the keypad.

I've read the instructions & still can't figure out how to use the speaker phone.

When taking a picture, can't really see what you're taking a picture of on the screen.

While in my pocket camera will turn itself on & take pictures of my pocket.

Phone doesn't always hang up when you close it.

i loved the Samsung sch-u340. although it is not as fancy as some of the other phones it is worth what u pay for it. i got mine as a prepaid phone from verizon. it was only 29.99 and it came with a ten dollars worth of minutes when you activate. the phone. where else can you get a camera phone for that price that takes good pictures. i have no complaints.

This phone is slower at texting than most phones, but it is very light wieght, small, and adorable. The camera works good, not a really expensive one but the phone overall wasn't a lot of money. I do like this phone I do text alot and its buttons all work I havent had any charging issues either which is great.
