The Cream of the New Cell Phone Crop

Kyocera is no stranger to color handsets: Virgin Mobile announced that it will offer blue and green versions of its Marbl this spring. But with the Neo E1100, Kyocera adds a new twist--a pipe that runs down the middle of the clamshell's external housing and lights up in bright blue when you receive a call or message. This one too has a sub-surface OLED display that shows key info in an almost ghostly-like fashion. It's a CDMA phone (although Kyocera at CTIA did announce its first GSM models).
