Cell phones with unusual, eye-catching designs

Nicole Lee, Associate Editor March 2, 2007

So many cell phones have similar features that often what sets one apart from the rest is its design. Consumers are increasingly looking for a phone that will turn heads and get attention, and an unusual design is a big part of that. Though most phones still look alike, we have come across a few that made us sit up and take notice. One of the most recent phones that caught our eye is the Nokia 7390, the latest in Nokia's line of fashion phones, with its leather-like body and designer touches. Then there's the NEC N908 is one of the first touch-screen phones we've reviewed, and it's only the size of a credit card. There's also the Helio Kickflip, a cute and attractive swivel phone that's one of the first handsets released by Helio, a relatively new MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator). A teeny tiny phone is also sure to get attention, like the Pantech C300, which is quite possibly the smallest flip phone we've seen. Finally, the LG Migo VX1000 cell phone for kids is sure to turn heads in the playground with its green body and dual antennas.
