After months of languishing in Best Buy stores, the Samsung MM-A960 (SPH-A960) is now for sale on Sprint's Web site for a fair $79 with service. Though its silver flip-phone design has little pizzazz overall, especially for an EV-DO handset, it does offer a unique circular external display.

Features are a bit more impressive. Inside you'll find Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel camera with PictBridge photo printing, a digital media player, a Micro SD card slot, a speakerphone, and speech-to-text dictation. So far our experience with the last feature has been mixed, but we're eager to test it out. Stay tuned.
