The Samsung SCH-u740 is now available from Verizon Wireless. It’s a great phone for those of you who can’t decide between small flip form factors and QWERTY-txting convenience, as it flips and transforms. In addition, it’s V-Cast capable, with external music controls.

What’s really great is that this full-featured phone is only $149 (with 2-years in bondage), a great price when you consider all it does, including the aforementioned texting, 1.3-Megapixel camera with flash, and microSD. The phone also works with the VZ navigator service, and features Saumsung’s new wireless web browser.

We even like the retro analog clock on the outer display.
