• There's only one rate plan: $39.99 Even More + Text + Web for $79.99 total -
“Feature phones are migrating away from the tiny screens that characterized their dominance in the era of the Motorola Razr,” said Ross Rubin, an industry analyst with the NPD Group, a market research company. “They have more sophisticated operating systems, touch screens and bigger screens.”
Sleek offerings from Samsung, LG and Motorola have attracted the attention of entrepreneurs and software companies hoping to market functions similar to those found on the iPhone.
