Samsung SGH-T509, with included Java games
This phone is interesting for a number of reasons, including that it's very small and has suppoprt for popular IM services (please add that to all phones!). The camera is though nothing to write home about: 640*480.
What caught my eye was that 3 Java games are included with the phone. As developers know Java better than any other mobile application platform, and of course there are tons of Java games available, it makes sense to use that even when the games are pre-installed rather than developing for the native phone system. Applications in obfuscated Java bytecode are typically also smaller than ditto in ARM machine code, potentially saving on memory.
