Samsung SCH-U900 Flipshot / User Reviews

I won't repeat all of the stuff that's already been said about the phone. It definitely has its strong and weak points. But when i was looking at reviews when deciding to buy this phone or not, i couldn't seem to find any sample photos, so i decided to post one. Behold the glory of... More

Features sound good, but too cumbersome to flip between camera and phone. If you do use the camera, know that the battery dies very quickly. Speaker is so quiet that I can't hear downloaded ringtones or music, must use one of the three provided ringtones to have decent volume. Would not recommend... More

This phone is great. It is light-weight, user friendly and has many features that normal cell phones don't.

The pros of this phone are:

-It has a 3.0 megapixel camera. The screen actually flips around so that you can use the phone as if it was a regular point and shoot camera. You can also record... More

It's a good phone, a little big, but decent. I had higher hopes or the camera. It would be better if once it's flipped into camera mode, it would act like a digital camera. It doesn't, it acts like a phone with a camera. Which is exactly what it is.

Pro: Great camera, good battery, easy to upload music, good sound quality

Con: after few months phone is shaky, scratches easily(like all phones)

Using experience: 5 months

If you take pictures and videos often, get this phone! Easy to upload pics and vids. Good for music

I saved up for a long time before springing for this phone, and chose it based on its appearance and photo ability.

The camera is nice, but still lacking in a lot of ways. The lag time between pushing the button and the photo actually being taken is still horrendous, and often results in a blurry... More

well you all know that the front buttons are touch and if the slightest touch starts music there is a way to stop it. if you close the phone and press and hold the button with the three dots a little lock will come up in the corner next to the battery, therefor it locks the buttons outside the phone.... More

The FlipShot is a nice phone - good sound and reception; ringtone volume is very soft; the square-ish shape and placement of side buttons & antenna make the phone awkward to use. An ok camera (nice prints up to 5" x 7") but nothing special and a little annoying to operate - see other posts.... More

All-in-one pleases none.
If you want to take good and easy photos get a digital camera.
Mobile phones are for communication, so stop your whining and find one that does just that. You'll find that some get the best reviews and are the least expensive leaving some $$ for a good shirtpocket camera.... More

It has a 3 megapix camera. I hate the fact that it takes the camera so long to take a pic as it adjusts and focuses. If you want to take a picture but hold down the take picture button too fast it will switch to camcorder mode.

Plus with all Samsung phones, the calendar/scheduler doesn't work as... More

I've had this phone for about five months now. I'm not going to reiterate all of the good things about it.

The camera takes good photos, but the lag is terrible. It's also not easy to get a self-shot.

Sound is decent quality. Speakerphone works.

However, the text messaging is abysmal.... More

just got the phone and it seems great so far... however I want to turn off the keypad voice.. when I press a number the phone repeats the number out loud... I do not want this feature and cannot find a way to turn it off ... can anyone help...tx

I just got this today for my wife. I have spent about 6 hours trying to transfer the phonebook from her old LG VX8300 to the Flipshot. I have tried 3 different programs over Bluetooth and all cannot connect to this phone. I can connect to the LG and my RAZR just fine but BITPIM, Futuredial and even... More

ok i had this phone for a month or two. it was nice.. good pictures and all..(albiet the buttons are terrible and the navigation screen takes a while to get used to).. However, this thing really blows as far as durability. I think its probably rather poorly constructed. My phone fell into some water,... More

If you are a camera lover like I am and you love gadgets then you will love this phone!!! It is a great cell phone but an even better camera. It takes great pictures and has excellent special effects. I can only find one thing wrong with this phone. The calendar has a little software glitch where when... More

I purchased this phone because I wanted to have a camera capable of taking decent, but not amazing photos on me at all times.

As a phone it works fine. The signal strength is good, battery lasts a long time, the sound quality is quite good. You can't easily record your own ring tones, the speaker... More

This phone is by far one of the best models Samsung has come out with for Verizon Wireless! I really love this phone and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to buy a good phone with Verizon Wireless. I am writing this review after having the phone for over a month and a half with no problems!

It... More

I've had the flipshot for about a month now and I've come to realize that the red photo capture key is surprisingly tricky. About 90% of people I ask to use my phone to take a picture hold this button down which causes it to switch to video mode instead of taking the picture. I was hoping... More

Pros:
*Coming from a big bulky phone this thing is LIGHT!
*Pictures come out amazing for a camera phone (some neat editing features)
*Keypad is flat, but has ridges separating each key
*The flash can actually be used as a flashlight when the phone is closed
*Speaker phone is loud and clear...people have... More
