Samsung Samsung unveiled the most handsets at CTIA this year, each with its own unique style. Included in the mix was, of course, a handset with a 1.3-megapixel camera, but it was the company's next-generation Palm phone that stood out the most. The company's popular i500 got an impressive makeover in the shape of the i550. With its integrated megapixel camera with flash, external 65,000-color OLED display, and internal touch screen, this CDMA smart phone will turn heads.
