Editor's rating : Discuss this product. Editor's note April Verizon and Samsung updated the u with an easier to read keyboard and a few other minor improvements and renamed it the Alias. Slim, svelte, friendly and anything but one dimensional-- no, I'm not talking about my latest heartthrob but the Samsung Alias SCH-u phone for Verizon.
As phones become increasingly fashion-oriented and personal, so do the words that describe them. The u is a two-way flip phone that's superbly slim and smaller than the RAZR without being Zoolander-small.
As Goldilocks said, "this one feels just right" in the hand and in the pocket. The phone came out in March , and in April Verizon released a re-design of the U, adding the "Alias" name.
The Alias has the same feature set but the color is silver rather than champagne and the keyboard colors are improved for better visibility.
Open it like a flip phone and you'll see a typical flip phone with more keys than normal. Close it back up and turn it on its side, then lift the side of the flip toward the sky and you've got a QWERTY keyboard phone with landscape display that's perfect for texting.
Samsung has come up with some two-way flip phones in the past, but those tended toward clunkiness and lacked good multimedia features yes, we mean the Samsung D for Cingular. The Alias remedies this and we're happy to report that the phone is solid and well made with a robust hinge, despite its small proportions and light weight. Nothing is perfect, at least not in the technology industry. But the standard number pad is embedded in the QWERTY keyboard and the dual-masked keys are distracting when dialing, and those alpha keys hanging off the bottom of the number pad are not going to help when dialing by feel.
Put the phone in landscape mode to make use of the keyboard and things are much better, though the 10 sideways numbers with micro vanity letters too-- and we mean really small masked above the alpha keys look a bit like non-Western characters that need deciphering. Only you can decide if you need something with a large dedicated number pad unfettered by QWERTY goodness if so, check out the LG enV or something small and slim yet perfect for messaging.
The keys are definitely not ideal for men with very big fingers. Get it Now apps such as the V Cast video player and music player run only in landscape mode except camera and image viewer.
The keyboard is backlit and you can set the duration 7, 15, 30 seconds or always on, always off. The same is true of the main but not the outer display. You can also set main display brightness and outer display contrast. The K color inner LCD is vibrant with wonderful contrast. The Verizon desktop looks photorealistic and animations move smoothly with no ghosting. But the lower resolution display keeps the phone small and the display easily readable.
Verizon and Samsung make good use of its 96 x 96 pixels, showing signal strength both 1X and EVDO , date, battery level, and your choice of a digital or analog clock as well as wallpaper.
The outer display acts as a secondary viewfinder for the camera as well and can display text messages. The inner display is superb indoors but is a bit hard to see in bright sunlight while the outer passive matrix display is readable indoors and out.
You can set wallpapers for both inner and outer displays and you can use your own camera images if desired. It has an internal antenna and middling RF. Since signal bars aren't always created equal, we also look at call quality and data drops due to loss of EVDO coverage and the bars are indeed accurate. Call quality in 1 bar coverage areas suffers significantly and V Cast-ing with 1 bar of EVDO leads to sporadic connection drops.
With two or more bars of 1x, call quality is good and quite loud for incoming calls. Call recipients could tell we were using a cell phone but had no complaints.
