The Verizon Wireless Samsung SCH-U550 is a modest upgrade to the Samsung U540 and is targeted to shoppers that are longing for an entry-level flip phone with sensible voice quality, rather than high-end features, while maintaining a low cost phone. Its main competition is the LG VX8350, since both have similar features and in the same price range.

The Samsung SCH-U550 Phone contains a 500 contact phone book with space in every entry for 5 phone numbers, 2 e-mail addresses, and notes. You'll be able to organize contacts into caller groups and pair them with a picture or one in of seven (72-chord) polyphonic ringtones. Other essentials include a vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, a calculator, a calendar, instant messaging, an alarm clock, a unit and currency converter, a voice recorder, a speakerphone, a stop watch, a world clock, and a notepad. On the upper end, you will find stereo Bluetooth, voice commands and dialing, and e-mail.

With the Samsung SCH-U550's 1.3-megapixel camera, you'll be able to take photos in 5 resolutions (1,280x960; 640x480; 320x240; 160x120; and 128x96). Other camera features include an evening mode, brightness and white-balance controls, 3 quality settings, a metering exposure, adjustable ISO, a multi-shot mode, a self-timer, 5 color effects, and a digital zoom. There is also a selection of shutter and camera function sounds, otherwise you can silence the phone fully. The camcorder records clips with sound and offers editing choices almost like the still camera. Clips meant for multimedia messages are capped at 30 seconds; otherwise you'll be able to shoot for as long as the phone's available memory permits. Sadly, the photo quality isn't better than the SCH-U540's. In other words, it's a lot too blurry for a megapixel camera. The phone comes with 25MB (an additional 10MB over the SCH-U540) of internal shared memory, and a MicroSD card slot.

As an EV-DO phone, the Samsung SCH-U550 supports the full range of Verizon's 3G services as well as the V Cast video service and also the V Cast music store. The music player's interface is the same to those on other Verizon phones. You also have the choice to buy Verizon's GPS service, VZ Navigator.
