| Verizon good/bad, Samsung good 2010-07-05 |
| By J. Donaldson (Camarillo, CA USA) |
I've had this Samsung Convoy U640 phone on Verizon for two weeks. I am pleased with it and would recommend it.
This is a basic phone to be sure, exactly what I wanted. No extra cost data plan or text plan for us. In fact we had Verizon block all data so we wouldn't incur any surprise charges due to accidentally selecting a menu option that uses small amounts of data. We just want a phones that will last and that work well. Having a camera was a bonus, in the past I've found a couple of good uses for quick shots (pictures of things in stores on which to do more research, car accident photos) so it is nice to have one handy all the time.
Pros:
- Solid feel, good construction and materials
- Large backlit buttons
- Plastic external display - I've broken glass displays in the past.
- Large (for this type of phone) bright display on the inside - also plastic.
- Camera button is inside - I've had phones with side mounted camera buttons that took pictures in my pocket!
- Large numbers displayed front and inside for my old eyes
- Functional, if a little picky, voice controlled menus and calls. This was a bonus because I didn't have to program anything. Every contact in my list is a potential voice call.
- SD Micro memory card slot for extra photo, video, or mp3 files. I can pop it out of the camera and into my computer for file transfers. This is simple and quick rather than using a manufacturers USB cable and special software.
- MP3 player
- Bluetooth, seems to pair well and stay connected.
- Speakerphone, loud and clear.
- Camera with still or video capability - quality seems okay for a phone. If I want real quality photos I'll bring my camera.
- Very good battery life that has improved as the battery has matured over these two weeks.
- Speaker phone works quite well and is activated by a side button that has to be depressed for a couple of seconds. I find this much better than a menu option and soft key.
- The durable aspects of the phone were a big attraction to me. I use it on the boat with less concern for having wet hands when handling it.
Cons:
- Verizon menu system. I wanted a Samsung Convoy, not a Verizon Convoy. Verizon's menu system isn't too bad but there are customizations that are not allowed or provided. For example I wanted to replace the main screen "Message" soft button with "Recent" (calls) but that was not an option.
- 2.5mm earphone jack. Since I never use a wired headset (that's what Bluetooth is for) I'd like to listen to music with my standard 3.5mm earphones but can't without an adapter. When are phone manufacturers going to get this right?
- Voice call system can be annoying. If it doesn't understand my command it starts to offer other choices (some quite dumb) and is too persistent. I wish it would simply give me another chance and not offer other names or options for me to say "yes" or "no" to. I understand one can do some voice training to improve it but I haven't bothered as it works well for the few people I call often.
- It is a little thick, especially considering it isn't a fancy feature phone requiring a lot of electronics. However it isn't as thick as I thought it was going to be and I don't mind it in my pocket.
On the general subject of Verizon: We just switched from 11 years of having AT&T wireless service to Verizon. On AT&T my wife complained of lack of coverage and dropped calls. My problem with AT&T was poor call quality, so bad I really didn't want to use the phone. Over 11 years we had various phones and there are three of us on the plan but the call quality problems persisted. Now that we are on Verizon we are so pleased with the call quality; it feels like we have useful service for the first time. I just wish they would leave the manufacturers operating system and user interface alone. |
| Fantastic battery life 2010-06-22 |
| By FUBK (Cincinnati,OH) |
| This is a great little phone if you only need to use it as such. No bells and whistles just a solidly built phone with exceptional battery life. Easy to use and carry around in your pocket. |
 Very disapointed 2010-06-08 |
| By David F. (Springfield, VA.) |
| As an HVAC contractor I am on the phone constantly (some times 60 to 70 calls received a day) and need a reliable and sturdy phone. I don't need a camera or alarm clock or music player. The convoy seemed like a great phone at first and the battery and display seemed great but I quickly found the phone to be very poorly designed. The holster is very hard to use and the phone has fallen out a couple times a day with the slightest bump. Every other flip phone out there has a clock that can be seen at all times. Not this one, you must open the phone to turn on the display. There are three buttons on the front of this phone but you must first open the phone to activate and/or use the front screen and then there are only a few items you can access so the front screen is worthless. This is neither a user friendly or well designed phone and if I had not destroyed the package when I opened it I would return it immediately. |
 great audio and reception, strong battery 2010-06-06 |
| By D. Starkey (Hemet, CA, USA) |
| If you are mostly interested in a rugged phone that has great sound quality,good reception and a super long lasting battery. this phone is the one. No, it doesn't have all the bells that other phones do but this is the best phone I've ever owned. And I've owned the Droid Eris and two Blackberrys. |
