Samsung Sway SCH-U650 for Verizon Wireless
Ive been using the new Samsung Sway for about a month after getting it right when it was released. Overall its a pretty nice super slim little device. The phone is entirely clad in plastic, and while it does have that feather-light inhand feel, it also feels a tiny bit cheap. The battery is supposed to give 270 minutes of talktime and 312 hours of standbye, but mine is nearly dead at the end of the day with only an hour or two off talk. Who knows, maybe my battery was a dud. Hopefully Verizon will exchange it for a better one.
