It won't win any awards in the originality department, but the Samsung Messager II marks yet another entry into the text-centric dumbphone arena.  Billed by its creator as "much cooler" than the original, the Messager II offers a 2-megapixel camera, sliding QWERTY keyboard, MP3 player, stereo Bluetooth, 3G, and up to four hours of talk time.  It is available through MetroPCS and Cricket for $149 and $200, respectively.

So, if you're in a MetroPCS or Cricket area, pick one up, give it a go, and let us know what you think!
