Black and blue
Electric blue accents show up twice on the Stunt: as a band along the spine and to outline the four-way navigation pad. The volume rocker sits below a cut-out where you can loop in a charm. A Micro-USB charger port and a 2.5mm headset jack inhabit the opposite spine.

Getting around
Samsung's Stunt is light on the crisp resolution we typically find on higher-end feature phones and smartphones. Navigation, however, is mostly intuitive.

Pocket-size
The Stunt's smaller stature may hint at its more simplistic tool set, but the phone's petite fit makes it easy to sock it in your pocket.
