Samsung Factor SPH-m260 - slate gray (Boost Mobile)

We're disappointed with the QQVGA display, which shows a grainier, fuzzier resolution than we'd like.

The Samsung Factor for Boost Mobile is a straightforward flip phone with a VGA camera on its face.

The Factor is comfortable on the ear and produced very good call quality during our San Francisco tests.

The spines collectively house a volume rocker, Micro-USB/headset port, and a camera button.

On the other hand, the dial pad is comfortable, with responsive keys and navigation. There's a helpful shortcut button to get to the camera.

It's got a smooth body that feels good in the hand, but tends toward the slippery side.
