Samsung SCH-U900 FlipShot

3 megapixel auto-focus camera

The Samsung SCH-U900 Flipshot is an update to the A990 is smaller and lighter, but keeps the same feature list and unique twisting-display form factor. This high-end CDMA phone sports 3 megapixel auto-focus camera, QVGA display, EVDO data, memory card slot, business card reader, TV output, and music player. Bluetooth has been upgraded to support stereo audio. Still featuring one of the best digital camera/camcorders of any mobile phone - complete with an optical zoom lens - the Samsung U900 is as loaded with technology as they come. The Samsung U900 has streaming stereo Bluetooth, VCAST TV and MP3 media player, advanced voice dialing, speach-to-text dictation and a ton more.

With an innovative design and an excellent 3.0-megapixel camera, the FlipShot should please cell phone photography enthusiasts. Others, especially those who enjoy watching phone video, will most likely enjoy the phone's high-quality 262K-color internal screen. The remainder of users should be satisfied with a nice-looking phone, including organizational applications, 500-entry Contacts list, and a wide variety of messaging options.

The clamshell flips open to reveal the standard format of screen-on-top and keyboard-on-bottom. There is nothing out of the ordinary here, and anyone who's used a Samsung / Verizon clamshell before should be right at home. In addition to numberpad, the keyboard features a 5-way navigation button, the standard assortment of Send, Clear, and End / Power buttons, and two dedicated softkeys. To the left of the 5-way key is a button that summons the camera and to the right is one that controls speakerphone. The camera's zoom key (along the side of the phone) doubles as a volume controller as well. Headphones and battery adapter connect to ports along the other side of the phone.

Other than the shutter button problem, the camera's functionality is smooth and simple. Separate buttons triggers the Options Menu, and both zooms and toggles through options on the menu, and the third (shutter) takes pictures and selects options. Upon taking a picture, the user merely has to flip the screen back into standard "phone" position in order to send the picture in a message.
