Cricket Wireless has a new phone in its offering, Samsung r211, which as you can see from the image above is as simple as a phone can get. 3G data is out and so is a decent screen. Rather, this entry-level device comes with a 128×128 pixels screen which should provide just enough space for SMS reading/sending and calling information. So if you need any — and by all means I mean “any” — serious mobile phone function – look further.
Cricket is selling the r211 for $89.99 without any contract-signing requirements, which is still kinda steep for “a number of features” the device offers…

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
