Kent was a senior managing editor at CNET News. A veteran of CNET since 2003, he reviewed the first iPhone and worked in both the London and San Francisco offices. When not working, he's planning his next vacation, walking his dog or watching planes land at the airport (yes, really).
The Sunburst has rounded edges and a pebble-like design. Since your primary interface will be the touch screen, the Sunburst has just three physical controls below the display. The menu uses simple icons.

Samsung Strive
Slide up the front to reveal the four-row alphanumeric keyboard. The buttons are a tad cramped, but we suppose you'd get used to them.
