| Bottom line | The LG GS170 doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it works as a good and affordable entry-level phone for T-Mobile. | An example of excellent call quality at a dirt-cheap price, the Samsung t159 excels at the basics, but stumbles on style. | The Samsung T259's intuitive design, excellent call quality, and affordable price make it a good choice for someone in search of a simple handset. | With its decent midrange feature set and eye-catching design, the LG dLite is a wonderfully girly phone that would appeal to the young, or just the young at heart. | Despite some drawbacks in design, more-advanced features like video recording and an FM radio make the midgrade Nokia 2720 Fold better than average for those looking to augment basic services. |
