Samsung Mobi SCH-U620 (Verizon Wireless) review

Samsung SCH-U620

The SCH-U620 is the first cell phone to support Verizon's V Cast Mobile TV service. With excellent video performance, a 1.3-megapixel camera and camcorder, Bluetooth connectivity, and music playback, this is a full-featured multimedia phone.

Given that live TV is the big selling point, the external speakers could be more robust and the display could be larger. Also, the fairly drab design belies the SCH-U620's cutting-edge factor, and the music and video playback could be a lot simpler. It...

The first of two phones that support V Cast Mobile TV, the SCH-U620 is a solid performer. But those looking for more flash may want to wait for the LG VX9400.

Samsung SCH-U620

A good balance of voice quality and mobile TV flair, this is an attractive little phone with an entertaining twist.

Cute. High-res screen. Good voice reception. True mobile TV.

Small screen. Data reception could be better.

A good balance of voice quality and mobile TV flair, this is an attractive little phone with an entertaining twist.

Samsung SCH-u620 TV Phone for Verizon- Phone Reviews by Mobile Tech Review

In Spring 2007 Verizon Wireless, ahead of other US carriers, launched true digital TV services for mobile phones in nearly 2-dozen metro areas in the US. While mobile users have been watching digital television programs on their phones in Asia, we've...

More pocket-able than the LG TV phone, very good ergonomics, speedy in most tasks, excellent mobile TV performance, good display that can go landscape when in TV programs and in some games, and great music playback quality ;

Reception isn’t the strongest, EVDO services can be spotty in not-well covered areas. Camera has surprisingly poor performance. Battery life is just so-so

If you want to jump on the cell-evision wagon and you are in one of the digital mobile TV coverage areas, the Samsung u620 is one of the two choices at the moment. The small size and comfy form means you don’t have to get a bigger device just because...

Samsung SCH-U620

The Samsung SCH-U620 (a.k.a the Samsung Mobi) is the first pioneer cell phone to unleash Verizon's new V Cast (Mobile TV) service, with superb video camcorder performance (including a 1.3 Mega pixel camcorder and camera, Bluetooth compatibility, and...

Though the external speakers leave you wanting more, the screen could be larger, and the video and music play back could definitely be made much simpler... The fairly dull design does not do justice to the SCH-U620's multi-media cutting-edge factor

cute, compact phone, bad battery life

The Samsung u620 cell phone is great! I love the compact size and HUGE screen. My only complaint is with the battery life. It's not as good as LG cell phones. I can only make a few moderate in length calls before I need to recharge it. Stand-by time...

SCH-u620... The phone is ok

The Samsung SCH-u620 is ok. I mean the pics are clear, the video is great and the look is just fine. The only thing that I think could be better, is the the volume of the ringtones. It seems to be low even though my volume is on high. And the menu and...
