Verizon Samsung SCH U740 hack
Am I the only one that is completely perturbed by fact that Verizon has the same firmware on ALL their phones - whereby killing the entire idea of CHOOSING a phone and it's "unique" functions? Now it's all about looks and nothing else.
I would switch service, but just discovered this after renewing my contract. The last resort would be to get a new battery for my old Verizon phone which was supposedly lower tech compared to this snazzy Samsung, but actually waaayyyy better because it doesn't have the crappy Verizon firmware on all the phones now. It's really killing the experience.
I used to be able to text a message w/ photo to email addresses. Can't even do that now.

No! but you are definitely late to the party, that storm has passed, most have chosen quality of service over a UI. There aren't any hacks for the Samsung U740 it is what it is.

I don't really care about the Verizon UI personally. When it comes to the majority, I think it's a good thing. This has been mentioned a lot, but I get more people that are excited that they don't have to learn a new UI than I do people that are diappointed with it. If the UI upsets you, you're in the minority.
Also, you can send a picture message to an email address with text. They don't guarantee that it works because it doesn't with all domains. It works fine with my yahoo account though.
