Samsung's Sweet New Dual-Opening Phone

Samsung's new SCH-u740 looks like it could be a fun distraction during boring business meetings and dry presentations. Launched on Verizon Wireless today, the SCH-u740 features a dual-hinge that lets you open it both vertically (for phone calls) and horizontally (for messaging and Web browsing). And it still retains a rather thin .58-inch profile.

Flipping open the u740 horizontally gives you access to a full-on QWERTY keyboard that you can use for texting, e-mailing, and IMing (AIM, MSN, or Yahoo). The phone also packs a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and microSD slot. It's equipped with V Cast Music and Video, as well as Wireless Sync, which lets you keep your phone's e-mail, contacts, and calendar in sync with your home and work PC.

The u740 is available now from Verizon Wireless and will cost you just $150 provided you sign up for a two-year contract and mail in your $50 rebate.
