This text will be replaced
 When we first saw the Samsung SCH-U740 at CES 2007, we were intrigued by the dual-hinge design, which was a dramatic improvement over the old Samsung SGH-D307 on Cingular. Unfortunately, the U740 suffers from some serious issues in messaging and Web browsing, two areas at which a landscape QWERTY phone should excel. Messaging is too difficult to set up for day-to-day users, and the Web browser is unusable on the phone's low-res screen. Call quality on the phone is good, but to compete with serious messaging phones like the enV and the Sidekick 3, the phone needs to be an easy-to-use messaging powerhouse. As it stands, it seems more like an average, 3G V Cast phone with a keyboard tacked on. Release: February 2007. Price: $100.
Pros: Unique, slim design; good call quality; full screen videos
Cons: Low-res screen hampers Web browsing; video quality is poor; no accessories; could use a better messaging app
