AT&T Wireless, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile today released new cell phones; most notably the Samsung Sway for Verizon Wireless with nice-looking menu icons.

A pile of new cell phones were announced today, including the Motorola VU30 and VU204 for Verizon Wireless, the Motorola W450 for T-Mobile, the Pantech C610 for AT&T Wireless and the Samsung Sway for Verizon Wireless.

The phone also has a dedicated shutter button for the 2-megapixel camera, and music downloaded via V Cast Music with Rhapsody can be stored on microSD cards up to 8GB. Other features include Bluetooth, VZ Navigator and a 2.5mm headset jack. The Motorola Rapture VU30 costs $180 with a two-year contract. A $50 mail-in rebate is available when signing up for a qualifying plan.
