The EN-V vs. Samsung's SCH-U740!!!!
๐
Alright I need help on this one, and please be biased, do not take one side just because you have that phone (preferably people who work w/verizon or have experience with both)
Which is a better cell phone? I will give you my honest take on the Samsung because I just bought it two days ago...
The samsung is the hottest phone out right now, lookwise, in my opinion. I really like that i have it an no one else really does yet. i dont mind the camera, however the env's 2.0 is appealing. i think the speakerphone, texting, different menu layouts, are all great. Heres what I'm really getting down to as my worry and why I may switch to the EnV....
THE DOUBLE HINGE scares the hell out of me! I went back into verizon to try to get...

vskins?
Okay so im lookin to pimp my fone ๐คจ but on the verizonwireless website..they link you to vskins.com... okay no problem so far..then we go to samsung and look for our phone... now here is where the problem/confusion arises. They have on the website a Samsung U710...there is no such thing as a U710, but if you notice..it could potentially be a typo because on ur right number keypad the four is right above the one which could lead to a mistake..oo ps although labelled the 'U710' the picture shown is the U740...what do you think!?
Dialing Size
Hi,
I just looked at this phone a like it, but was not able to change the size of the dialing digits. Both normal and large did not change anything. Is this a known bug (don't know how that can be) or is there another way to change the size.
MIF.

Red Dot
Have this phone and love it. I was using my phone yesterday and noticed a red dot (looks like a dead pixel) on my screen. Changed wallpaper to make sure that it wasn't the pic. Realized that whenever I have a dark background it would show up, but if background is light it doesn't show. Was just wondering if anyone else has this problem. I have warranty and insurance so I am not too bothered by it, just wanted to see if this is a big problem to look out for.

Player error
Hi, I am hoping someone can help me out. I have searched various threads but couldn't find a solution. I am trying to put music (my own from cd's) and I keep getting a "Player Error" "Music not available" message. I followed some of the advice on a few threads after searching the topic however, I can't find a solution to the error message. I have been working on this for a while and I am getting very frustrated. Any suggestions? The last thing I tried as per a past thread was to format card in the phone, sync to wm player, move songs into the My music folder turned on phone play songs...well, tried to play them ๐
Anybody? Thanks in advance!

Bluetooth issues
Was wondering if anyone eles is having the same issues that I am with bluetooth reception with this phone.
I just had the Verizon store swap me out for a new phone because the bluetooth reception is very poor. I find that the closer the phone is to the earpiecce (like in a pocket on the same side of your body that the earpiece is to your ear) gets you the best reception, otherwise, it starts to get garbled and scratchy.
I've changed out bluetooth earpieces (they're the Motorola H500 and H700) and they both have the same problem, yet, when I use those same earpieces with my other cellphone (a Moto Razr) there's no problem whatsoever.
I thought I just got a bad phone, but I'm finding that the new one does the same thing.
Anyone ...

Anyone Switch from a Razr?
I am currently a Razr owner considering moving to this new Sammy. I had a Samsung (a530) prior to owning my Razr and was very happy with it. Just looking for some insight from people who have owned both phones. Thanks in advance!

Good review
I own this phone and it only took me a few days to get accustomed with the numbers while in landscape mode, and texting is a breeze with a little practice. I do everything in landscape mode do to the great speaker phone, and the ability to use it while the phone is closed. Good review I don't think this phone is getting the attention it deserves, its a great phone as your review clearly pointed out.

Disapointed
I just wanted to let everyone know that I have had a very rough time with this phone. I have had this phone a little over 2 weeks now and am on my 2nd phone. The first one would not play any on my music. It was a problem with the phone reading off my card.
My second phone played the music as soon as I put the card in so I was very happy about that. Except now when I have the phone open to text I can slip my finger between the back and where the keys are.
I am very disapointed because I really like this phone, but I'm not sure its worth all the trouble. Going on three phone in three weeks is crazy I think.
Not sure what I will do, I'm thinking of going with the envy. Either that or I will go back to the old phone and wait fo...

Good Job
I thought it was a decent review, although I think you spent too much time on the texting issues. It would have been nice to see some of the other features of the phone such as the camera quality and the voice to text feature. All in all it was very easy to follow, and i look forward to some more video reviews from you.

Picture on front screen
On my old Samsung phone, I was able to see the picture of the person calling on the front screen. Even though I attach a picture of the person on the contact list, I still cannot get the picture to come up when the person calls. Has anyone had any luck doing this or did they remove this feature from this model?
Thanks for your help!
