Noah's video review of the Samsung Flipshot U900 with Verizon

Noah Kravitz
Posted on Tuesday, December 04, 2007
by Noah Kravitz, Senior Editor, Consumer Products and Services
After a visit from FedEx, Noah unveils his new Samsung FlipShot U900.  This device is now available from Verizon Wireless and seems to do it all!  The FlipShot has a unique rotating screen that provides a large display viewfinder when using the 3.2 megapixel camera. 

With its interior 240x320 display, the screen in 260K color makes it easy to navigate thru all of the features Samsung loaded the U900 with.  This included stereo Bluetooth, GPS technology, camcorder mode with sound, and even a business card scanner.

FlipShot: 3MP Samsung SCHu-900 Now Available for VZW

FlipShot: 3MP Samsung SCHu-900 Now Available for VZW

Joe blogged about it yesterday, and now it's true: Samsung today announced availability of their new high-end cameraphone for Verizon Wireless - the SCHu-900 FlipShot. FlipShot is a clamshell handset with a rotating screen, similar to the A990 which until now was VZW's top of the line cameraphone. FlipShot features a 3.0 MP camera with flash, automatic lens capture, video capture functionality and PictBridge and Bluetooth functionality for...

FlipShot U900 coming to Verizon - Wed 21st

According to the guys over at Phonearena.com we could see the new Samsung “FlipShot” U900 show up on Verizon’s shelves tomorrow (online anyway). I am a little skeptical considering the Voyager is scheduled to be released the same day, but the fact there is an interactive U900 user manual online hosted by Verizon may lend some credence to the claim. The 3.0 megapixel U900 sets itself apart from its successor the A990 by including an...

    LG Lotus (Sprint) - Photos

    Hey, look what just came!  Thanks, Vanessa ;-)  Here are some photos of the black LG Lotus for Sprint.  The QWERTY board feels GREAT so far, as those bubbled chiclet-style keys make up for the relatively small size of the layout.  Sprint's new One Click UI is sort of cool and helpful and sort of overdone; I'll have to play with it more, but I hope it winds up being handier more often than it gets in the way.  And I'm...

    Announcements: Motorola on 10/13, Nokia on 10/14

    Phone Announcements

    Heads-up, phone phans!  Nokia's planned an announcemnet for next Monday, October 13th - and has a viral campaign to hype things up in the meantime - and Motorola's announcing something new and "Clear" (as per their PR campaign) on Tuesday, October 14th.  My bets?  I have no idea what Nokia's gonna drop, but I bet MOTO unveils the Kraze smartphone for Verizon Wireless. Stay tuned for all of the juicy bits as we get them.  And...

    WiMax: HTC drops super shiny WiMax phone on Russia

    HTC T8290

    Might this be a peek into our near-term future?  I hope so.  You're looking at the HTC T8290, a shiny, sleek, badass looking piece of kit from HTC destined for Russia's Yota network. What's neat about this device, besides its obvious good looks, is that it packs both GSM and WiMax connectivity so you can get your voice and high-speed data on in style.  There's a 3.8", 800 x 480 hi-res display for all of that content you'll be...

    G2: HTC Touch HD not US-bound, but similar Android phone is

    More on next HTC Android phone

    First off, how cool is it that HTC dropped some significant cell phone news on the blogosphere via Twitter the other day?  I'm not saying Twitter itself is/isn't cool, but rather that it's neat to see a tech company innovate when it comes to communicating with the media.  Particularly so a tech company that uses the word "Innovation" in their marketing materials. Second, my post about the possibility of the HTC Touch HD coming to...

    Sidekick on steroids: First user review of T-Mobile G1 surfaces

    User review of G1

    An Android Community user - and T-Mobile Store Manager in Florida, apparently - who goes by kaziko has posted the first user review of T-Mobile's G1 Android phone.  The review - which takes the form of an ongoing forum thread - is summarized nicely in this post if you don't care to dive into the 11+ page thread. Of course, if you do there's text galore to tide you over until those G1s start shipping on the 22nd. So what's kaziko...

    Hands-Free: Driving with both earbuds in is NOT okay

    Driving with both earbuds

    For the past few weeks I've been considering writing a post about how California's law against driving while holding a cell phone has done pretty much nothing to curb the habit - at least in the Oakland/Berkeley area where I live and work.  Yesterday on my bike ride home from the office I figured out why I hadn't penned the post yet.  The law has done something, I think.  Sure, I still see at least three drivers with cellies in...

    New Samsung phones

    While i'm not exactly sure what's going on with some of these code names (Behold? Eternal? Huh?), I am sure of this:  Samsung Mobile's bustin' out all over with their Xmas-time lineup of new phones for US carriers.  Here's a little summary for you, best as I can cobble it out of truth, rumors, and other stuff that's just across the line from pure fiction: T919 "Behold" (T-Mobile):  This one's all but a lock.  TouchWiz UI...

    T-Mobile @Home: First Impressions

    T-Mobile @Home

    When I first heard that T-mobile was offering a VoIP service, frankly, I wondered what could cause them to do such a thing, and what would motivate a customer to buy it. I've never paid much attention to VoIP because I've gotten so used to being mobile, 100% of the time. I went to my local T-Mobile store to check it out, and saw that they were pushing it as the hot new product. The service is $10 a month for unlimited calls, to anywhere in...
