Samsung Reality SCH-u820 - red (Verizon Wireless) price range: $89.95 - $94.99
- Reviewed by: Nicole Lee
- Reviewed on: 04/28/2010
The good: The Samsung Reality has an intuitive display, three home screens, a 3.5mm headset jack, a nice keyboard, and features that include a 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS, and stereo Bluetooth.
The bad: The Samsung Reality isn't quite as good as the Samsung Rogue, has almost the same design and features, and is also on Verizon Wireless. We also wished the photo quality was better.
The bottom line: On its own, the Samsung Reality is a great midrange multimedia phone, but it doesn't hold a candle to the Rogue, which has a better design and better features.

This phone is only an okay phone. It has many glitches.
by EdgarAllan1962 on December 31, 2010
Pros: Nice key board, extra pages for widgets are nice, youtube and facebook widgets are a plus, touch screen works well.
Cons: At times, the text messages don't get sent, the screen saver changes to the default screen saver daily, turns off randomly.
Summary: This phone isn't really a top-of-the-line product. It needs a few updates. I've had this phone for two and a half months, and this is the second phone ...
Summary: This phone isn't really a top-of-the-line product. It needs a few updates. I've had this phone for two and a half months, and this is the second phone I've had. The last Reality had the same problems. I wouldn't buy this phone again, no amount of insurance would make this phone worthwhile.

Buy this phone if u r lookn for a great messaging phone
by doohikikysrule on October 18, 2010
Pros: Awesome for messaging with touch screen and pull out keyboard. Buttons are simple to access. Has 3 different home pages so u can customize your widgets. Great pics with 3.2 mp and camcorder. Nav is a great tool. Comes in 2 colors. I chose the maroon
Cons: Not really a phone for the internet. A little confusing on getting songs onto the sd card, but it works after some practice. Not too much bad to say about this guy. I just wish the internet connection was better, but thats not what the phone is for.
Summary: Great phone for the price. Younger people will love the ease of messaging with this guy. MP3 player sounds great. 3 home pages for all the widgets. Great call quality. ...
Summary: Great phone for the price. Younger people will love the ease of messaging with this guy. MP3 player sounds great. 3 home pages for all the widgets. Great call quality. Make sure to get urself an sd card. Ive got a 4 gig which is plenty big maybe too large. Takes wonderful pics compared to most of the other phones. Needs to be charged quite a bit.

Looks nice but still behind the times
by chatologic on September 20, 2010
Pros: nice pleasant look
Cons: After all this time you still Aconnect this phone to your computer and drop pictures or files. Even 10 drives can copy AND use the data. The phone allowes files to be copies but the phone can't see them. Not what I expect from a 300 dollar phone.
Summary: No very many good features, ugly wall papers, the screen does not respond very well to finger movements. Still can't simply drop files into the phone like any other ...
Summary: No very many good features, ugly wall papers, the screen does not respond very well to finger movements. Still can't simply drop files into the phone like any other cheap device can.

a great step up for users of simple phones
by cat-bear on June 21, 2010
Pros: fairly easy to use, battery lasts
Cons: vzw browser, confusing interface between phone vs. data functions

Summary: This is my first phone with advanced features, fun but frustrating to learn. Luckily I found a more detailed User Manual online than the one provided with the phone. Touch screen and qwerty keyboard are very easy to use (I do have small fingers), but I?m struggling to master the VZW browser. Camera and phone call quality are good, I don?t text nor download music. Samsung phones are sturdy, no case necessary but I did get a screen protector before removing the packaging protector.

Summary: this phone is a very nice phone, i love it. the design is great, it slides, and it is small. but, something is wrong with it. when i charge it, the next day it doesnt turn on then says battery low. it might just be my phone but its annoying. i also dont like the camera too much and of course, sometimes keyboards are a pain. overall its a pretty good phone.
