Bottom line	The Pantech Crux makes a good multimedia feature phone on paper, but its poor touch-screen performance prevents us from recommending it.	With its delayed touch screen and sluggish processor, the Hotshot's smartphone-esque look is a detriment. It's better to commit to a full-on feature phone or a smartphone instead of a device that overlaps the two.	The Samsung Rogue is a great multimedia touch-screen messaging phone for Verizon Wireless customers.	The LG Dare is an innovative and feature-rich handset, with several surprises that set it apart from other touch-screen phones.
