    CNET Review

    February 26, 2008

    The Good: The Samsung SCH-U550 cell phone offers stereo Bluetooth and 3G support.

    The Bad: The Samsung SCH-U550 has a dull design and poorly designed controls. Also, its call and multimedia performance was disappointing.

    The Bottom Line: The Samsung SCH-U550 doesn't offer the performance or design that we'd expect from a 3G Verizon Wireless cell phone.
