| The Bottom Line | The Motorola W490 is a practical phone for making calls; just don't count on its camera to be of much use. | 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. | The Motorola Active W450 finally brings a rugged phone to T-Mobile, but not without compromising its usability. | 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. | Though the GSM Motorola Krzr K1 has a more attractive color scheme than the CDMA Krzr K1m, some feature differences make it mostly comparable with its sibling. |
