NOV

2007

For the last two years I've been using a Motorola Razr VC3 and became very accustomed to using a keypad for typing out my text messages. However the phone has never held a charge for very long and I am queen of forgetting to charge it at night. So, this past weekend my husband decided to replace the battery thinking this would help. Verizon salesperson talked him into getting a new phone instead. He came home with my new Samsung SCH-u740. He read all the reviews and thought I'd love it. He was right. The way it opens either portrait mode (vertically) or landscape mode (horizontally), is really cool. The QWERTY keyboard is very handy since I text message all day long! It is taking a bit of getting used to though. It doesn't finish words for me the way I am used to. That function is reserved for sending texts in the portrait mode. The problem there though is that the letters on the keypad are so tiny it takes way too long to type anything. I've only had the phone a few days and haven't read the manual. However, I've figured out most features on my own. Now that's saying something because I'm usually not that savvy when it comes to technology. All in all, I like the phone. It's coolest feature is the way it opens. Other than that it does the same things you would expect from any cell phone.
