Want all the best phone features without breaking the bank? The basics just got better with the Samsung SCH-u340. Capture the moment, even on the go, with its advanced VGA digital camera. Also, you'll have access to the In Case of Emergency (I.C.E.) contacts menu, even when the phone is locked. This sleek tri-mode phone with an internal antenna will get you where you need to go in affordable style.

Design
The phone features a traditional clamshell design with a vibrant 128 x 160 pixel full-color display with 65,000 colors. A supplementary external screen can display call information, current date and time, battery and signal strength, and more. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. The u340 has no external antenna, so there's nothing to snag in your pants pocket. A charging port is located on the bottom edge of the phone, while an advanced VGA camera with a self timer is housed on the front cover of the phone. Lastly, the built-in speaker phone allows you to talk handsfree.

Calling Features
The u340's built-in address book can store up to 500 contacts for quick and easy management of phone numbers and email addresses. The phone comes with built-in polyphonic ringtones while more ringtones can be downloaded from Verizon's Get it Now service (additional charges apply). The included advanced voice recognition feature allows you to make calls and access other essential features, all without ever touching the device. Meanwhile, a built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Plus, picture ID functionality lets you assign photos or other images to callers. Perhaps most importantly for users in rural areas, the u340 is a tri-mode phone, meaning it can operate on Verizon's digital networks, as well as analog networks that serve many outlying areas.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The u340 covers the messaging basics with support for sending and receiving text, pictures, and sound. The phone also supports mobile instant messaging. Instant Messaging allows you to communicate with your friends or family in the AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, or MSN Messenger communities. With the AIM, Yahoo! or MSN mobile IM client, you can see who is available, busy, or offline. You can also get sports scores, traffic updates, weather reports, news, and even your Horoscope via Verizon TXT Alerts. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile text messaging users.

The u340 includes a personal organizer that includes a calendar, an alarm clock, a notepad, and a calculator. Meanwhile, the included I.C.E. (In Case of Emergency) feature insures that others can access user programmed numbers in the event of an emergency, even if the phone is locked.

Imaging and Entertainment
The fun really starts with the u340's built-in VGA camera, which features a self-timer, shutter sound selection, and brightness adjustment.

Vital Statistics
The Samsung SCH-u340 weighs 2.82 ounces and measures 3.5 x 1.8 x 0.77 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 3.5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 220 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the AMPS 850/CDMA 850/CDMA 1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one-year limited warranty.

You get what you pay for..........2007-05-12

I got this phone mainly because it was free. It is completely barebones, which is fine with me since all I really want it for is talking and sending the occasional text message. HOWEVER, the battery is HORRIBLE. I thought it was just my unit, so I exchanged it, but unit #2 is equally as bad... I'm going to have to suck it up and pay for a better phone.

Just What It Is; A Phone........2007-04-29

If you're looking for a phone that should be used as just that -- a phone, then you've found the right product. I didn't purchase this phone myself but my mother had gone out and bought it for me instead because I wasn't up to leaving the house that day.

Still, the reception is great. I have not had any dropped calls whatsoever and the sound is clear. In fact, it can be a little loud for me.

The ringtones aren't the best but they're not the worst either. In fact, a few of them are pretty nice melodies.

The wallpapers it come with however are a different story. Don't particularly like them. I do, however like the color themes it offers: Red, Blue, and Black. I've always hated the usual red color of themes in other Verizon phones so I'm pleased to see that these themes work and get rid of all the red.

The camera takes EXTREMELY clear and crisp pictures that beats the Razor V3 my younger sister has. In fact, she can never get clear pictures on her phone and insists I send her the pictures from my phone to her. In fact, as I mentioned, the wallpapers were not exactly appealing to me so I took pictures of my Desktop Wallpapers on my computer and used those as my Phone wallpaper. The pictures really ARE crisp and clear and they look as if the phone had come with the wallpapers.

The only downside is battery life. But that's not much of a problem.

If you're looking for a decent phone in which it's purpose is to be just that -- a phone, then you've come to the right place. This is the phone for you. If you're looking to play movies, listen to music, and whatnot, then this is NOT the phone for you. This is a phone for basic needs. In fact, I don't see the point in listening to music and watching videos on a PHONE. We have the PSP or MP3 players for that. Why use a phone?

Excellent cell phone for the casual user..........2007-04-11

If your main interest is making/receiving calls and sending/receiving text messages then this is the phone for you! It is light, compact, has an internal antenna, doesn't look too girly nor too masculine, has decent reception/battery and is very easy to use. If you are looking for a cell phone with a good camera and speakerphone DO NOT purchase this phone.

Samsung isn't the best line of phones, but this one is amazing........2007-03-07

I have had two Samsung phones in the past that both have extrememly angered me. Samsung is NOT a good line of phone but I had no choice in buying this phone [as I am sixteen and under my parents line -- haha] but I really like this phone so far.

The camera couldn't be better. The pixels work well and it's great. Very bright and easy to use.

The reception is perfect. Even with Verizon [which angers me as well -- you can never hear anybody] the sound is excellent. I haven't had a dropped call yet.

The design is very sleek and appealing. I love the easy to press buttons and how easy it is to find everything you need.

The pre wall papers are very aesthetic and good. Text messages come in quick, voice mail is great, etc.

Sure the battery life isn't great but they even say that in the description so if you wanted a long one, should have bought one. I charge my phone constantly anyway, I have yet to have it die on me. The talk time is only about three hours but I'm usually indoors and so the charger is easy reach. When charging and talking at the same time, the reception is still good.

It smudges a little too easily, but that's easy to fix.

This sleek flip phone is perfect for jean pockets.

I highly recommend this phone, one of the better samsung products. The only problem is that I have only had the phone a few short days and I'm not sure how it will act up later. I will keep everyone posted though =]

battery is terrible.......2007-03-07

everything else is fine. but the battery is just terrible. I fully charged it and it only lasts about 24 hours.
