US carriers never cease to amaze with low-end phones, and while the new C290 might be Motorola's first phone to support Sprint PCS Vision content, it's also an incredibly no-frills clamshell. We guess the main feature here is price, which should be $30 after rebates, but couldn't they at least toss in Bluetooth or a few York Peppermint Patties? We guess not. All we're left with is WAP 2.0, a 65k color screen, Java support, a speakerphone, and voice recording -- oh, and a nice big antenna to get snagged on stuff.
