Camera Phone Reviews

Infosync has a review of the Samsung SCH-U740 and writes, "Pictures taken with the Samsung SCH-U740 were blurry and showed lots of pixel noise, though color wasn't as bad as pictures from other cameras we've used. The external screen can be used as a viewfinder for self-portraits, and though it crops most of the photo, we preferred it to the tiny mirror we're seeing on many camera phones. The U740 includes an LED flash, but no autofocus, and the list of camera options isn't impressive. There are some nice after-effects, including a sketch option that turns photos into line art that we found oddly compelling, as well as frames and clip art. The phone handles MMS messages well, and includes one-touch options for sending a sketch message or a framed postcard message. The lack of Bluetooth transfer for photos is a serious deficiency. As Verizon Wireless still refuses to package their phones with a microSD card or USB cable, Bluetooth is our method of choice for getting pictures onto our PC, but the U740 lacks this option."
