| Bottom line | The LG V8300 is a well-designed and high-performing EV-DO phone for Verizon Wireless. | The LG Revere is a no-frills entry-level handset for Verizon Wireless customers who just want to make calls and not much else. | Verizon customers looking for a simple phone will appreciate the Samsung Gusto 2's emphasis on call quality and comfort, despite a few minor flaws. | Although it has a competitively low price, Verizon carries better-performing feature phones than the Revere 2 at just a few dollars more. | Certified to withstand the elements, the Samsung Convoy 2 is also a ruggedly attractive handset with a fair number of creature comforts; however, the headset jack is a disappointment and there are more rough-and-tumble phones out there. |
