Samsung Gloss SCH-U440 Reviews

Great entry level qwerty
Rating:

This phone is selling fairly well, the only returns that i see is people not getting used to the shape of the phone. This womens compact shape phone comes in pink and charcoal (gray), includes bluetooth, 1.3 mega-pixel cammera, speaker phone, and a very easy to use keyboard.

Pros:
Entry level phone = entry level price
bluetooth
full keyboard

Cons:
not 3g
d pad is a little hard to work with

Over all this is a very nice basic texting phone.

Cheap
Rating:

i had this phone for 3 days and went through 2 of them they are cheap the graphics suck you cant change the theme on them my husband got the gray one and i got the pink one he likes his my overall view is that if you are looking for a cute phone this is it but if you are looking for anything else in this phone DONT BUY THIS ONE!!! i have had almost every phone that US CELLULAR has had out and this would be the worst one i mean its just so cheap made

Rating:

excellent phone comes in two distinct shades
pink and black and for an massaging phone not bad it has a 1.3 mp cam full qwerty key board and on the down side the LCD screen is small but easy to read talking on the this phone is a little different it a small phone of coarse to each their own

Good for free phone
Rating:

When we signed a new contract with US cell my wife liked this phone so she went with the pink and I with the grey. It's been a good phone easy to use and best of all it's a perfect fit in my jean pockets. basic features but it does it's work well. My wife thinks the keypad a bit small

Solid little phone
Rating:

My only regret when I switched over from U.S. Cellular to Sprint was having to give up this phone. As someone who was fairly new to the world of cell phones, I purchased the Samsung Gloss because I wanted a solid low-cost messaging phone with a nice QWERTY keyboard.

That's exactly what I got with the Gloss. The camera isn't great and the phone has a 2.5mm headphone jack rather than the more universal 3.5mm, but as I didn't buy the phone to be a camera or an mp3 player, these things never bothered me.

Overall, if I had to choose a basic messaging phone, I would definitely go with the Gloss over, say, a Rumor2. The clamshell styling isn't for everyone, but hey, I liked pretending to have a Star Trek communicator. ;)

Cheap knock off of the Lotus
Rating:

I had the Lotus through Sprint and I loved that phone. When my friend got this phone I though what a joke. It freezes up and their is old cheap icons on it. Seriously can't Samsung think of their own designs instead of copying all of LGs and can't us cellular get some better quality phones then that.
