EDITORS' RECAP
In the match of the tournament so far, the LG VX6000 edged past the Samsung i500 in a close contest, eking out a victory with some clutch points in the final two minutes. Though the i500 was favored on paper, we had a feeling the popular LG had the goods and the fan support to carry it into the Final Four--and it did.

THE FANS SOUND OFF:

• This is going to be a close one! The Samsung, with its package of high-tech gadgets, vs. the sexy, sleek LG--hmm, sexy vs. high-tech. Sorry, Samsung, LG wins with its small size.--George D., Chicago

• The LG VX6000 is not only cheaper but slicker--slick like black ice.--David, East Stroudsburg, PA

• How can you compare? The Sammy all the way!

• This will be really, really close, a grudge match between two top-notch phones, and the victory will be by a small margin. Both deserve the win for their exceptional advantages.

• The VX6000 lights up the court with the color alert dots, knows its competition with the photo caller ID, and knocks down the three with its sweet design, features, and performance.--Adam, New York

• The Samsung i500 feels slicker than the LG VX6000. The VX6000 is a great camera phone, but there are a million silver flip camera phones out there. The i500 is a unique Palm smart phone and gets my vote.--Eric, Boston

• Apples vs. grape pits--how can you compare a Palm phone that searches the Internet with a toy?--Blazorboy

• The LG VX6000 is the ultimate all-around phone that can beat out a smart phone. Like the Cell Phone Diva said, the phone has the best ease of use and strong performance. 

• The LG is an all-around great phone, with great service to back it up. It's a slam dunk against the Samsung's rebound!

• The Samsung comes from a long line of PDA wannabes that is getting better but hasn't hit the mark. The LG is a cool camera phone that has enough of what people want but is not enough for heavy power users. Give me the LG; the PDA has features I will never use, even as a businessman.  

• The VX6000 steals the show with its easy-to-use interface. The i500 may be deeper in features, but the VX6000 has its own features to distinguish it from other phones. There is not a person on the planet who cannot use the VX6000 and still have fun with it. It has great support from many developers, and it will continue to make it to the top. The VX6000's price proves to be an advantage here, as well. Surely, the VX6000 will move on.--Anthony, Orlando, FL
