Non-standard headphone jack. Crappy camera. Includes Verizon's usual nickel-and-dime messaging apps.

Camera and Conclusions The 1.3-megapixel camera has no flash or auto-focus; there's also no video recorder. Test photos exhibited stronger color than usual for a cell phone camera, and shutter speeds were fast at just under one second. But there was a...

Samsung Intensity review: Samsung Intensity

The Samsung Intensity has an attractive and compact design, a great keyboard, and a nice display. It has a megapixel camera, a music player, and GPS.

The Samsung Intensity can't download songs over the air even though it is compatible with V Cast Music, the navigation keys are a little cramped, and the photo quality could be improved. The microSD card slot is inconveniently located behind the...

The Samsung Intensity is a simple entry-level messaging phone with a few multimedia goodies that's very affordable and easy to use.

It was cheap

It does not work, won't start the phone and won't charge. There's nothing else to say

Samsung Intensity (U450)

The phones are hard to open one-handed unless you have a rubberized or some other type cover. It will be interesting to see how they stand up to rigorous usage by my kids. Buttons are kinda small but I think most phones are like that. Pros: MP3 player,...
