Samsung SGH-500 : nice phone with everything you really need for a phone anyway

With its unusual clamshell design and silvery exterior, this phone looks like no other mobile. The space-age design is functional as well as good looking. The flip-up lid protects the keypad and can be used for answering or ending calls.The active flip can be switched off. Aside from the unusual design,the rest of the well-specified phone is pretty conventional.
