| Bottom line | Despite its faults, the LG Prime is a nice phone, especially given its price and the fact that you can get it without a contract. | The Samsung Solstice offers a touch screen and multimedia features, but its performance isn't the best. | The Sharp FX Plus is a budget
Android 2.2 smartphone for certain first-timers, but when it comes to some features, you get what you pay for. | The LG Encore may have a good set of features, but its poor touch screen and lagging performance prevent us from recommending it. | The Samsung SGH-A187 has all the necessities of a text messaging phone. Although the occasional keyboard inconsistencies are frustrating, it's a solid choice for a good price. |
