Samsung SPH-m520 Cell Phone — 

Ok, for those unfamiliar with Geaorge Lazenby, let me clarify: he played James Bond in one film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service which was sanwiched between 2 Sean Connery ones in the 60's.  The Samsung/Sprint SPH-M520 is much like Mr. Lazenby's acting in the film; Not the best in delivery of speech (I often have problems getting a clear signal), underpowered (Bond did not have a lot of gadgets in this film, and the camera in this phone is poor compared to its' predecessor, the SPH-M500), but very attractive looking.

It is bluetooth-capable, which does make up for the tremendous design flaw of the proprietary combination power-jack/earpiece jack.  Still it annoys me, because it's not easy to get a DC car adapter for them, compared to most other phones.  I'm a fan of Samsung products, I have loads of them.  This one just didn't live up.
