My old phone got busted (last me 1.5 years... R.I.P...) so I went out and got a new one. Took me about 5 minutes to decide which one I wanted: the Samsung U740!
It's RAZR-thin (without that annoying lip too), 1.3MP camera/video, Bluetooth, can play MP3s (still looking for a cheap 2GB microSD), can use AIM, check gmail, and all the other bells and whistles. but... BUT!!! (wait for it...)  BOOYAH!!! Full QWERTY keyboard! Perfect for writing text messages or chatting on AIM! One other cool feature that I have yet to use is "dictate-to-text", where you actually say your text message instead of tapping it out. I've been playing around with it for about 4 days now and I'm pretty happy with it. I think the best part about the whole thing was that Verizon rolled out a "phonebook backup service", so I just downloaded an app to my old phone, backed up my numbers, then downloaded them to the new phone. I wish I had that 1.5 years ago before having transferred 200 numbers by hand =P Good ol' Verizon never lets me down! Been a loyal customer for 8 years now and not planning to change. Oh yeah, if any of you want to switch to Verizon, I know of one place that has great customer service! It's in the Circuit City off of North Ave! Ask for Annie ^_^ I've noticed that this is my third Samsung phone in a row too. I gotta admit that Motorola's are damn strong (I've thrown my old one across the floor of Canopy many times and it still worked well enough to give to my dad later on). But I think Samsungs just have that extra novelty that make them stand out. My old phone got a lot of attention (*pop*) and this one's getting attention too. Just gotta make sure noone sees the camera part at work ¬.¬ *edit... pics fixed (I hope) |
