Samsung SGH E315 (T-Mobile)

While the E315 lacks a lot of features of some newer phones, it is still one of the most simple and durable designs to date. I have searched and have yet to find another phone that matches it's beauty and elegance. It has a horizontal alert light on the front that lights up like the fourth of July in multiple colors when you receive a call or when a message is waiting. The external display has lively and colorful animation when you receive an email. Ive owned this phone since since it's release in 2004. I've owned several other phones since and am currently using a Nokia 6267 but I still use this as backup because I've never had one problem with it despite dropping it on several occasions. In contrast to what another reviewer wrote, the camera has only a Vga capture which doesn't even qualify as a megapixel, so don't expect too much from it's low resolution. But if you just want a nice looking phone with durability and to make calls then this is the one.
