The Bottom Line	The Samsung SGH-T229 has unique design touches and pleasant call quality but it wouldn't be our first choice for a low-end T-Mobile camera phone.	The Samsung Eternity succeeds as a multimedia device, but without Wi-Fi and full e-mail support, it stops well short of being a business-friendly device.	The Samsung Gravity is a great phone for budget-minded texters, but beware its spotty call quality.	The Samsung SGH-G800 does a lot of things right, but a few underwhelming features left us wanting more.	With its eco-friendly design and spiffy solar panels, the Samsung Blue Earth is more than just a gimmick; it's also an appealing cell phone with character.
