Samsung SCH-U540
Infosync has a review of the Samsung SCH-U540 and writes, "The camera is the same, lousy lens we've seen on other mid-range phones, and the 1.3-megapixel sensor proves that 1.3-MP is the new VGA, the de facto standard for barely mid-range multimedia phones. The browser is also a disappointment, as it can't venture too far beyond the Verizon Wireless deck without getting hopelessly lost. Neither our infoSync World homepage nor The New York Times homepage would load at all. Finally, the GPS sensor and VZ Navigator had significant trouble finding us, whether we were in New York City or just outside the city in the New Jersey suburbs."
CNET reviews the Samsung SCH-U540 and writes, "The 1.3-megapixel camera allows you to take pictures in five resolutions (1,280x960, 640x480, 320x240, 160x120, and 128x96). Other camera features include a night mode, brightness and white balance controls, three quality modes, a metering exposure, adjustable ISO, a multishot mode, a self-timer, seven color effects, and a digital zoom. There are also a fair number of shutter and camera function sounds, or you can silence it completely. The camcorder records clips with sound and offers editing options similar to the still camera. Clips meant for multimedia messages are capped at 15 seconds; otherwise you can shoot for as long as the phone's available memory permits. Overall, the SCH-U540's photo quality is much too blurry for a megapixel camera. The handset comes with approximately 15MB of internal shared memory so we suggest relying on a memory card."
