OK, so you have yet to be bitten by the smartphone bug, and all you want is a handset that is as reliable as the Nokia 3310 as that Finnish featurephone has finally given up the ghost after all these years of faithful service which has seen three changes of presidents amongst other numerous world events. The Samsung M370 that hails from Sprint might be a decent replacement, but it loses points for coming in a clamshell form factor as that is definitely still more fragile than a candybar design. Still, this is by no means an ugly phone, coming in a shade of pewter gray while sporting Bluetooth connectivity, GPS support, a 1.3-megapixel camera, a 2.4″ LCD display at QVGA resolution, 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM, and 2MB of storage space.

Other features will comprise built-in productivity tools such as a calculator, calendar and task list, a customizable photo caller ID, speaker-independent voice dialing, parental controls that lets you restrict incoming and/or outgoing direct dial calls while limiting access to data services, and (parents will love this) Sprint Family Locator that relies on GPS technology so that you can figure out where your child’s phone is.
