The Samsung Trance SCH-u490 is sleekly designed phone targeted at music lovers, with excellent audio quality and Bang and Olufsen speakers. However, it sacrifices other features, with only 2G connectivity, a low quality camera, so is a top choice only for music lovers.

Product Description

The Samsung Trance SCH-u490 is almost more of an MP3 player than a phone. The sound technology, including external speakers, are designed by Bang and Olufsen, and the music management software integrates easily with Verizon's Vcast store and Rhapsody. The design is very sleek with a smooth front panel covering haptic controls. But the phone lacks many useful features, such as 3G data connection for wireless downloading. And although the sound quality through high quality earbuds is excellent, there is only so much you can do with external speakers that small.

The Price Is Right!

Review: The Samsung Trance has enough Pros to outweigh the cons. It's cheap, has great sound quality, easy syncing, bluetooth and a whole lot more.I wish it did have video, though.
