- Samsung SCH-220 Code - silver (MetroPCS)
- The Samsung Code (SCH-i220) is MetroPCS's first Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone, which seems like a step backward seeing as Windows Mobile 6.5 devices are available.

- Nokia Surge 6790 (AT&T)
- The Nokia 6790 Surge for AT&T is a bit of a departure for the Finnish handset manufacturer. You wouldn't know it just by looking at it, but the little guy is actually a smartphone like the Nokia N and E series devices. It runs on the Symbian S60 platform and...

- 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...

- Photo gallery:Sony Ericsson W995aSometimes, we get excited about the little things. For example, when we first saw the Sony Ericsson W995a at GSMA 2009 we got excited not because it has an 8.1-megapixel camera and a Walkman player--we've seen those before--but because it had a 3.5-millimeter headset jack and kickstand....

- Kyocera X-tc (Virgin Mobile)
- While the other carriers have completely embraced full QWERTY handsets, Virgin Mobile's been lacking in that department. Up until now, there have only been two choices: the Helio Ocean 2, which might be too fancy for some, and the outdated Kyocera Wild Card, which debuted back in 2007. Fortunately, there...
