I agree... and disagree. It is frustrating to watch carriers put out phone after phone with the same specs, seeming to imply that there might be some reason to choose one painfully boring, vanilla handset over the other. On the other hand, I think current mid-range Samsung sliders represent the ideal phone for many people. For a dumbphone, I love the software and the form factor is perfect. I had little trouble resisting the urge to make the move into smartphone territory until the G1, which is what I'm using now. But a day doesn't go by that I don't miss the barely-there-in-your-pocket feeling of my D900. The A737 rocks too if all you're doing is calling and texting.
