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.

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...
