- Cricket Captr
- Though touch-screen multimedia handsets and complicated smartphones are common these days, that doesn't mean there isn't a market for entry-level phones. The Cricket Captr is one such handset, with basic features and only a VGA camera. The photo quality isn't too good, but if all you want is a phone...

- Nokia 2705 Shade - black (Verizon Wireless)
- Photo gallery:Nokia ShadeMost of Nokia's recent cell phones for the U.S. market haven't been too exciting. Sure, the company gave us the odd Nokia Twist last month, but we're more likely to see functional handsets like AT&T's Nokia Mural 6750. Verizon's new Nokia Shade 2705 certainly is part of that...

- Samsung SPH-M330 - silver (Sprint)
- Sprint's Samsung SPH-M330 is the next step above the Samsung SPH-M240. It's also designed mainly for basic communication, but the M330 adds Bluetooth and a VGA camera. The result is a functional handset with an unremarkable design. Call quality is decent, and the M330 is free with service. DesignThe M330...

- Samsung M240 (Sprint)
- The same day it introduced the touch-screen Samsung Rogue, Samsung quietly unveiled the Samsung M240. Made for Sprint, the M240 is all about communication. Features are few--you don't even get Bluetooth--and the simple flip-phone design lends itself to making calls. On that front it does a decent job, but its...

- Nokia 2680 - GoPhone black (AT&T) - Prepaid
- Photo gallery:Nokia 2680Cell phone bills can definitely add up, which is why a prepaid plan option can be an attractive alternative, especially if you don't make calls or need the mobile Web very often. For AT&T Wireless customers, the carrier offers its GoPhone plan with a handful of handsets, including...

- Samsung Glint SCH-u350 (Alltel)
- Photo gallery:Samsung Glint SCH-u350While it may seem that everyone is obsessed with the latest full-featured phones, there is still the need and want for basic handsets, and the Samsung Glint SCH-u350 answers that call for Alltel customers. The flip phone offers a simple design and ease of use and most...

- Nokia 1661 - black (T-Mobile) - Prepaid
- As a rule, prepaid cell phones from the major carriers stick to the basics. Just consider the Nokia 1661 from T-Mobile. The candy bar handset won't win any design awards and its feature set is built solely on communication. But unless you're going to keep it only for emergencies, we...

- OMG. Where do you "journalists" get these stupid comparisions? Wallmart? Since when does the App Store sell furniture, mobile phones, electronics, computers, body care etc. ? What the F ? It sells mobile applications for a mobile platform, what does this have to do with wallmart?Why not compare it to...

- LG LX-290 - black (Sprint)
- Despite the many advanced feature phones out there, there's definitely still a market for simpler phones without too many bells and whistles. Take the LG LX290 from Sprint, for example, which doesn't even have 3G or a music player. It does, however, offer GPS with turn-by-turn direction, plenty of e-mail...

- RIM BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 - silver (Verizon Wireless)
- Editors' note: The RIM BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 for Verizon Wireless is similar to T-Mobile's RIM BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220.

- Samsung Mantra (Virgin Mobile)
- The new Mantra is only the second Samsung phone for Virgin Mobile. Like the earlier Slash, the Mantra (aka the SPH-M340) offers functional features and respectable, though not perfect, call quality. But unlike its predecessor the Mantra has a more agreeable flip phone design with spacious controls and keypad buttons....

- Samsung MyShot II SCH-R460 (Cricket)
- Photo gallery:Samsung MyShot II SCH-R460Don't be confused by the change in carrier; the Samsung MyShot II (SCH-R460) is an update of the Samsung MyShot. You'll find it with Cricket Communications rather than MetroPCS, but it offers many of the same features in a slightly modified design. The changes aren't extensive--in...

- Samsung Axle SCH-r311 (U.S. Cellular)
- Now that U.S. Cellular finally has taken notice of CNET, we've had the opportunity to review a range of the carrier's phones, from sweet multimedia handsets to models built for texting. The new Samsung Axle SCH-r311 falls into neither camp, but it's an acceptable phone for basic communication. Its...

- LG LX370 - silver (Sprint)
- Recent LG phones for Sprint like the LG Rumor 2 and the LG Lotus have been very messaging-centric, but that doesn't mean LG doesn't have other form factors up its Sprint sleeve. The LG LX370 has a far more traditional slider style, and not in an unattractive way either. We...

- LG Glance (Verizon Wireless)
- Just when we thought the days of the skinny phone were behind us, LG surprises us with yet another thin handset. The LG Glance is one of the slimmest phones we've ever seen, at only 0.38 inch thick. It has quite an elegant design overall, and though it's a rather...

These messaging phones are built primarily for texting--POP3 e-mail is offered as an afterthought only...
