Cherry-red and dare I say, even stylish, the Samsung Chrono 2 lends its uncomplicated frame to the time-honored tradition of keepin' it simple. It comes free with a two-year contract, and costs just $20 prepaid.
CNET Editors' Rating
The good: The Samsung Chrono 2 is exceedingly easy to use, its call quality is admirable, and you get the bonus of voice dialing.
The bad: The Chrono 2 has a flat keypad and you can't change the backlighting time of the external display, and it can't shoot video.
The bottom line: Though its design and feature set are from another decade, the Samsung Chrono 2 succeeds at what a phone should do.
