In case you're tired of all the smartphone news lately, here's an entry-level phone from Sprint that won't cost you anything at all. The Sanyo SCP-3810 is a basic camera phone with a 1.3-megapixel camera, a "hidden" external LCD, GPS, Bluetooth 2.0, mobile e-mail, and threaded text messaging. And yes, the SCP-3810 is free after rebates and a new two-year service agreement. The SCP-3810 is available now in both Black Onyx and Regal Red.
