Both phones are good w/ call quality.

I would agree... although both have internal attenaes so your reception will suffer slightly. I personally have found that my samsung u740 has a slightly better signal. But this will also depend on the individual quality of the antenna and is really on a per phone basis.

Basically, from what I've read, the en-v is worth the extra money over the samsung. Correct?

Most definately.

Also, you can pick up 1 gb Micro SD cards for really cheap from like Newegg.com or buy.com

Make sure you format the card in the phone first. I use BT for file transfer and create a couple of folders called:

SDPictures
SDVideos
SDSounds

on the memory card as well. Then you can copy your music to this folder and all will be happy. Also, make sure you set the camcorder in the enV to save to the SD memory card. It will increase the recording time from 15 seconds to 1 Hour.

Thanks for the tips!!! I really appreciate everyone's help,I'll go with the en-v.

You'll love it!

Both good phone so no loser no matter what. If you still are looking and deciding (and I think you aren't), The keys issue is not that big of a deal. The enV keys are definitely better but I'm not distracted or struggle with the U740. I need a bigger screen cuz I'm far sighted and don;t always have my glasses on so I really like the screen size. If you'r not visually challenged, the enVis a very good choice.

I do have to admit though, I do dig when people see the dually open deal and are like 'that's so cool'...call me a dork.

I was so closee to getting the u740; but Verizon only allowed me one more exchange and told me that the EnV was the best. So far, They're correct!

While the screen on the u740 is slightly larger, and I mean slightly, the resolution on the enV is almost twice as crisp

u740
Colors: 262,144 (18-bit)
176 x 220 pixels LCD
enV

I'd say that's a fair assessment. The enV is a great phone and I was having to make the same decision between the 740 and the enV and it was a close/tight decision. I really chose the 740 because of the size despite the resolution cuz of my rotten eyes needing big stuff on the screen....enV is a great phone, no doubt

I hear ya. I just recently got my first pair of progressive bi-focals and the stuff on the env screen can be really small, especially for an old fart like myself.

I like how on the u740 you can really make the numbers dialed and screen icons really big.

The eye doctor said instead of 'reading glasses' I should just get bifocals too. I fought cuz I just couldn't face it yet. So, at work, I wear my glasses 90% of the time...so much for reading...

The U740 dialing digits on screen are large and that's exactly what I like. It helps mitigate the misdialed number from such small buttons 🙂
