The Samsung Gusto is a slight upgrade from Samsung Smooth. The dimensions are similar with the Gusto being just a bit longer and thinner. The Gusto has a textured finish unlike the Smooth's smooth (and slippery) finish. I sometimes had problems trying to flip open the Smooth with one hand without cutting off the call or dropping the phone. I don't have that problem with the Gusto. That alone was enough reason for me to switch from the Smooth to the Gusto. Overall the phones are very similar but the Gusto has a better display. Bluetooth functionality is the same on both phones and very simply to connect to other devices like your car audio system. If you already have a prepaid phone and want to switch to the Gusto or any other Verizon prepaid phone, you can do that online at the Verizon Wireless web site. Just go to www.verizonwireless.com and login to your My Verizon account. Create one if you don't already have an account. Click on the My Services tab and under My Phone, click on Change Your Prepaid Phone. Follow the directions and your service will be switched from your old phone to the new phone in 15 minutes or less. You can also transfer your contacts by using Manage Contacts under the Overview tab in My Verizon. Save the contacts on your old phone to the Verizon server before you transfer service to the new phone. Then transfer our contacts to the new phone after it's activated. Upgrading phones couldn't be easier.Read full review
I bought this phone after realizing that I did not need to have an expensive cell phone. So I sold my iPhone 4 and bought the Samsung Gusto instead. I've always liked clamshell cellular phones so I had no trouble becoming fond of this one. The battery life isn't as long lasting as I remember. However, I do text more frequently than I used to. Thankfully this phone takes under 20 minutes to charge completely. The camera isn't fantastic. Very low resolution. I only use it for visual notes. And because of the small screen even fantastic picture messages seem drab (quick solution: get 'em to email you the picture instead). Holding the phone while speaking is a bit uncomfortable after long periods of time. I would recommend buying a headset to go along with it. But, you're going to need a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter as well. Which sucks. But. That's the only thing I wish I could change. It's a reliable clamshell with extra features (VZ Navigator, Web Browsing, etc.) at an additional cost. Worth the money.Read full review

This is a nice simple phone, flip style, with a menu button in center saying OK. Large buttons to dial, and large numbers appear on screen when dialing. Has a nice feel to it. Opens easily when a call comes, not hard to open, or hang up when trying to open, like some flip phones. You touch screen users stay away from this phone, it will only frustrate you. It is a good one for the person who wants a simple phone and doesnt store alot of data.
No USB support other than it charges using the typical MICRO-usb port. Samsung shows there are two models of this phone for Verizon: SCH-U360MAAVZW & SCH-U360MASVZW. There is a difference of about 2MB in filesize for the two versions of the user manual via Samsung, but good luck finding which model you have from the MEID HEX label inside the phone. I had to assume I have the SCH-U360MAAVZW because the other is 404 on Verizon. The back cover is extremely difficult to get off (tracking down which model I had so i could discover that USB drivers are nowhere to be found for this phone). Push and hold the number 1 key for voicemail is a great feature. The flimsy case I got with the phone is aweful; both volume controls on the left side, as well as the camera and mute buttons on the right side are blocked, but the USB port is accessible. Bluetooth transfers are attainable if you wish to send files off the SCH-U360, but I could not get any transfers going from a smartphone (all APP-ed up) or through a D-Link bluetooth adapter.Read full review
