We have been featuring a lot of cell phones that quite frankly miss the mark simply because it lacks the 3G support that a lot of consumers out there have been craving for lately. So, in the spirit of fairness, we are featuring a cell phone that misses the mark even with the presence of 3G support.

The Samsung SCH-U550 is 3G capable. That is a plus, for sure. At 3.77 x 1.95 x 0.64 inches and weighing in at 3.35 ounces, it is definitely portable. It even offers stereo Bluetooth. That said, it does not look the part. The design is generic at best. The controls are clumsily done. It does not look the part of a capable phone.

Not that the performance makes up for it either. The call quality is insufferable and reviews have been mixed as well in terms of the feature set, especially in the multimedia part. The photo quality, for starters, is a disappointment. So, the Samsung SCH-U550 is a dour letdown as well.
