Samsung E770

If it's cute you're looking for in your next phone, you may well have come to the right place, because this is a neat handset that shows off what clam shells are best at -- being small and unobtrusive in your pocket.

If the outside were simply composed of two-tone matte silver with black edging, we'd say the E770 appeals to our idea of understated neatness. Add in the shiny front buttons and camera lens, and a front screen, and we're talking bling.

Press the camera launch button on the right edge and the front screen turns into a viewfinder. Because the camera lens is on the front edge, quick photo-booth snaps of you and your friends are not only possible but absolutely begging to be taken. Tap the bigger of the three front buttons and you switch to movie mode, while the other two front buttons let you fiddle with zoom and brightness.The Samsung SGH-E770 is deceptively well-featured. We say deceptively because on the outside it looks like a fairly average or even low-end handset. But delve in and you find plenty of interest
