With all the talk about megapixel camera phones, it's easy to forget that some users might not need all of that photographic power. Fortunately, there are phones such as the Sprint PCS PM-A740 (Samsung SPH-A740), which offers a basic feature set and a quality VGA camera with plenty of customization options. The handset even gives you the ability to create slide shows with your photos and use them as screensavers.

While it's a fun and functional mobile with cool blue coloring, it is still a cell phone, and unfortunately its audio quality is not up to par. Also, business users might want to take a pass and look for a mobile with more capabilities such as a speakerphone or Bluetooth. The handset sheds the traditional all-silver casing, though, in favor of an eye-catching midnight-blue cover with a ridge-textured design, giving it a more casual look. Identical to the Sprint VM-A680 in size (3.3 by 1.8 by 1 inches; 3.4 ounces), the mobile is compact and fits easily into a pocket, although the stubby antenna adds some unwanted bulk. Still, it is solidly constructed and comfortable to hold.
