Samsung SCH-U430 Mobile Phone Hits Verizon

**Reegan** · 01-10-2008

Verizon have announced that they are now carrying Samsung’s SCH-U430 clamshell cell phone, offering Verizon customers a strictly non-3G option courtesy of a handset that will hardly set anyone’s pulses racing – though the fact that the Samsung SCH-U430 is available for free on the basis of a two year contract thanks to an online discount will, undoubtedly, serve to raise this somewhat dull handset’s appeal (though, arguably, not by much).

Measuring in at 93×47x22 mm, the dual-band CDMA (800/1900) Samsung SCH-U430 comes with a 1.9” 128×160 resolution 65k main colour display supplemented with a 96×96 resolution external screen , an integrated 0.3 megapixel VGA (640×480 resolution) camera complete with timed shutter and Night Shot functions allowing for image capture in low light environments and, by way of connectivity, there’s Bluetooth +EDR and WAP 2.0 (no Wi-Fi), and thanks to Verizon’s VZ Navigator application, the SCH-U430 can also be utilised as an assisted GPS navigation device (complete with ‘turn-by-turn’ voice directions). You also get VoiceSignal’s speech recognition software thrown in for good measure.

Samsung U430 Clamshell Comes To Verizon

Released for Verizon Wireless, the Samsung SCH-U430 is the successor to the SCH-U410. Offering a popular clamshell design, the U430 is bundled with essential functions such as Bluetooth wireless technology, VZ Navigator Location Based Services, VoiceSignal's speech recognition software and camera functionality. Using VZ Navigator consumers can see maps of current locations or addresses in the U.S. Users can even locate places such as restaurants, gas stations, banks and other points-of-interest relative to their location, plus hear turn-by-turn navigation with audible voice directions to an address in the U.S.

An included basic browser and chat capabilities let users stay in touch over Verizon’s data network. Voice capabilities let users hear their text messages or names of callers, as well as menus and dialed numbers, while voice dialing is also supported.

The u430 is priced at nearly $80 with a two-year contract, but an online discount reduces that price to $0.
