- 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...

- 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 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...
