“With the exception of the quirky camera and only average call quality, we really love the new i770 Saga from Samsung. The company finally realized how best to use the optical joystick technology it's been pushing for the past year, and the result is the best of both worlds in a very comfortable and capable form factor. We really liked the Samsung Epix, but we feel the new Saga is even better, earning its own Highly Recommended rating.”
