We never ceased to be amazed by how much technology cellphone makers manager to cram into increasingly tinier phones. For instance, Motorola's new W775, now available through Verizon for just $69.99 after contract and rebates, includes an MP3/AAC/WMA-compatible music player with access to Verizon's VCast music service and stereo Bluetooth, access to VCast TV services, VZ Navigation and Verizon's Chaperone service, which lets you use GPS to locate your child with the phone, and a 1.3 MP camera.

Among this RAZR-like clamshell's other pedantic but functional attributes are EV-DO broadband data connectivity, bright and colorful 1.1-inch and 1.9-inch LCD screens outside and in respectively, a microSD card slot that can accommodate a 4 GB card, and external music and sound controls that let you mute the phone without opening it. It's a bit chunkier than the RAZRs, but it has a cleaner easier-to-punch keypad compared to Motorola's funkier phones. The W775 may not be sexy, but it does what it's supposed to do.
