Samsung SCH-U430 Handset Hits Verizon [U430 Dual-Band CDMA Clamshell]

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& speech recognition software thrown in for
good measure.

The Samsung SCH-U430 is available to Verizon customers now.
