Samsung SCH-U540 review

 

We tend to expect a lot from the design from a 3G cell phone . Rather than looking for a generic handset where 3G functionality is almost an afterthought, we expect elements like a rich display, stereo speakers, and external music controls, all of...

The Samsung SCH-U540 has admirable music quality and a generous range of features including 3G support, Bluetooth, and a speakerphone. Call quality was decent too.

The Samsung SCH-U540 has a dull design with a flat keypad and an average display. Also, video and picture quality was unimpressive, and it lacks stereo Bluetooth.

Though it has a couple of strong points, the Samsung SCH-U540's design and performance don't quite do its feature set justice.

Samsung SCH-U540

 

The Samsung SCH-U540 is a CDMA clamshell phone that is light weight and full of high quality features. For those looking for a decent phone with some extras, the Samsung SCH-U540 is a great choice

High quality, sturdy mid range clamshell phone ; Clamshell has a small foot print, light weight and has a comfortable internal antenna ; Large keypad is easy to depress ; Screen is quite good, whether making phone calls or viewing digital images ; 1+...

The battery life could be a little better, especially when using the camera ; Not able to send more than one picture at a time ; Some minor difficulties with using the phone software

The Samsung SCH-U540 is a high quality phone for the mid range level. It includes great features and over delivers for the most part. While it has a few cons, it shouldn't stop you from purchasing the phone.

Samsung SCH-U540

 

Warning - You may have to exchange your phone at least once with this model. The SCH-U540 seems to be a "buggy" Samsung model. I technically got this phone last April, but after my wife's LG VX5200 went out we swapped phones and I re-activated my own...

I cannot hear what anyone on the Samsung SCH-U540. I thought I was losing my hearing until I read the other reviews. I avoid using because I everyone sounds mumbled and they have to repeat themselves. I am returning it.

Samsung SCH-U540

 

The battery for the phone is the worst.. All the numbers published by Samsung are bogus. I am a light user still the battery dies in less than a day. So if I forgot to charge for a night, I can't be contacted. Drops calls sometimes. I haven't exactly...

I returned the Samsung sch-u540. ( I left this review somewhere else, this is just pasted) 1. One can't just hit a button on the outside to look at the time, it won't light up the display which isn't even on, so you can't even see it in the light. You...

Samsung SCH-U540

 

The SCH-U540 is an all-around great phone. It has a decent camera for an inexpensive phone, pretty nice call quality, cool features, and it is thin. This is the perfect phone for talking, making videos or taking pictures, and texting.
