Samsung SCH-U520

Though it's far from the largest carrier in the United States, Alltel is not shy when it comes to promoting new technologies. It was the first U.S. carrier to introduce the Fast-enabled LG AX490, and now with its new Samsung SCH-u520, All tel unveils a completely new cell phone interface. Cell top allows users to organize information on the phone's display without having to search through multiple menus to find it. Though it's not quite perfect, Cell top earns points for originality and certainly is a solid step toward making cell phones easier to use. On the practical side, the SCH-u520's design is unexceptional and the call quality was uneven, but the phone offers some nice features such as a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, a speakerphone, and a micro SD card slot. You can get the phone for a reasonable $59 with service.
