Though the Samsung Stunt SCH-r100 may not be anything to write home about, those looking for a simple phone could certainly do worse. To its credit, this basic candy bar phone has Bluetooth and voice commands, but consistent to its class, a camera and music player aren't part of the Stunt's limited bag of tricks.

Fuzzy and tinny nuances marred overall decent call quality, but call volume held steady. The Stunt was made for MetroPCS and costs $39; it doesn't require a service contract.

Design - Make no bones about it: the Samsung Stunt SCH-r100 is about as basic as cell phones get. And that's fine, really, for the people who want a handset just for making calls. Standing 4.2 inches tall, 1.7 inches wide, and 0.54 inch deep, the Stunt's candy bar design is pocket-size and slim.

It's light (2.6 ounces) and narrow in the hand, but feels sturdy enough to take a few spills on the floor. We like the plastic backing with its faint black nubbles on the top portion and combination glossy and matte striped bands on the lower half--the only visual flair apart from two electric blue accents.

Adjacent to the 2.5mm headset jack on the right spine is a Micro-USB port, but there's no camera (no surprise here), and appropriately no external memory slot. We always prefer a 3.5mm jack, but since the Stunt isn't billed as a music phone, the smaller jack won't do much harm. There are a few dedicated shortcut buttons on the keypad, however: a keypad lock and a voice command key, and a shortcut for turning the Stunt's vibrate mode on and off.
