Samsung’s dual-hinged phone, SCH-U740, is now available in all black on the Verizon’s network. The SCH-U740 boast a 1.3 MP camera with flash, the Bluetooth connectivity, a microSD card slot and the support for a number of voice commands. Next, the device supports Verizon’s popular services like V CAST music and video, Get It Now and Mobile Web 2.0.

The interesting thing about this device, except the dual hinge, is that it is NOT a smartphone, yet is has the integrated QWERTY keyboard. I guess texting is much more convenient this way…

Anyway, the Samsung SCH-U740 costs $99.99 with a 2-year contract and included $50 online discount. (via: MobileWhack)

  • G-Dawg

    I think this phone is hot. i will be getting it in June on the 24th as a discount for my plan along with unlimited texting. I love all of the features including the qwerty and the stereo speakers. Its BitPim compatible (for those who dont know what that is it is an editing software that you can use to download ur musci and pics for free). But the only downside to this lovely phone is the tiny cramped keyboard. Other then that its awesome.
