Available now from the pay-as-you-go carrier, this latest entry in the slim-phone sweepstakes boasts a sleek profile but doesn't have much in the way of features.

Editors' note: Click here to read our full review of the UTStarcom Slice.

UTStarcom SliceThe UTStarcom Slice features runway looks at a bargain price, making it a perfect fit for fashion-conscious chatters who don't want to break the bank. The Slice boasts great call quality with strong reception and an attractive interface. However, the flexibility of a pre-paid phone means losing out on features like Bluetooth, a camera and voice calling. Also, the small keypad makes for uncomfortable typing, so heavy texters may want to try another slim phone on for size.

  • 65,000-color STN display
  • Speakerphone
  • Measures 4.3 by 1.9 by 0.4 inches; 2.4 ounces
