Samsung Rogue SCH-U960 (Verizon)

Verizon is pulling a fast one with its data plans, but the excellent Samsung Rogue is almost compelling enough to compensate.

Great voice quality. High-resolution touch screen. Excellent camera and video recorder.

A bit large and heavy. Required Verizon data plans are a trap for the consumer.

Samsung Rogue SCH-U960 (Verizon Wireless) review

Editors' note: After further review of the device, we have decided to give this an Editors' Choice award because of its better-than-average feature set when compared with other handsets in the same category.

The Samsung Rogue has a gorgeous display, a 3.5mm headset jack, a great keyboard, and an impressive array of features that includes a 3-megapixel camera, EV-DO Rev. A, GPS, and a HTML browser with Flash Lite. It has good call quality as well.

The Samsung Rogue is a tad bulky, and the streaming video quality is poor.

The Samsung Rogue is a great multimedia touch-screen messaging phone for Verizon Wireless customers.

Samsung Rogue SCH-U960 – A Superb Multimedia Smart Phone

We are not sure why Samsung put in the QWERTY slide out keyboard in the back of the mobile phone. The big screen has a good virtual keyboard plus the phone would have had a bit slimmer.The screen of the Samsung Rogue SCH-U960 is AMOLED which means...

3.5 mm head phone jack, great AMOLED display, 3 MP camera with flash and self portrait mirror, great call quality

A bit heavy and the slider key board makes the phone thick

The Samsung Rogue SCH-U960 is a great multi media phone; it lived up to all our expectations. Get this one if you are looking for a good multi media smart phone.
