Price: $99 with a two-year agreement via Sprint
Cool Yule rating: 3 stars
Description: The Samsung Upstage, with its music/entertainment screen and controls on one side and phone on the other was going to be the phone this year, until the Apple iPhone hit the shelves. Still, for those on the Sprint network that want a phone that plays music, can take good photos (even in low light) and is a good phone too, the Upstage is definitely an option to look at.
At .37 inches thin, the Upstage will fit easily in any pocket. On the entertainment front, owners can download music from the Sprint Store, transfer it from their PC or access tunes on a microSD slot. It comes with all the bells and whistles: Stereo Bluetooth, SprintTV support, video mail, 1.3 megapixel camera and 64MB Micro SD Memory Card. It does take a little while to get used to the flip (you have to push a button to toggle between the two sides of the device) and the touch sensitive controls can be a little too touchy (the LG Chocolate phone suffers from the same issue).
