Samsung Katana II          PCS
the Katana II has a much sleeker and streamlined look on the front, with clean straight lines and a shinier appearance. The Katana II measures 3.7 inches tall by 1.9 inches wide by 0.6 inch thick, which makes it a hair smaller than its predecessor. It's comfortable to hold.  The external display is the same as that of the first Katana as well. It's about 1 inch diagonally and supports 65,000 colors. It displays the usual signal strength, battery life, time, photo caller ID, plus it also acts as a camera viewfinder for self-portraits. The volume rocker is on the left spine of the top flap, while the headset jack is on the left spine of the bottom flap. On the right side there's a dedicated camera button on the top, plus a charger jack on the bottom.  The navigation array consists of two soft keys, the aforementioned toggle that acts as shortcuts to contacts, the alarm clock, the My Content folder, the wireless Web browser, and the middle OK key. There's also a dedicated camera button, a back button, the Talk and End/power keys, plus a speakerphone key between them. The keys are raised enough above the surface to dial by feel. 
 
The 300-entry address book holds up to seven numbers per entry, an e-mail address, a Web site URL, a home address, and a memo. Plus, you can assign a contact to a group, a photo ID, and one of 16 polyphonic (72-chord) ringtones. There's also text messaging, instant messaging, e-mail, picture mail, voice recording, Bluetooth, a calendar, an alarm clock, a countdown timer, a stopwatch, a world clock, a calculator, a vibrate mode, a speakerphone, and a wireless Web browser. We liked that you could activate the speakerphone before you make calls. The Katana II also has a built-in GPS that has access to location-based services like Sprint Navigator.
