The Bottom Line	The Pantech PN-215 is a decent starter phone for this U.S. newcomer, but we would have liked to see a better-designed handset with more features.	The PN-210 is a no-frills phone with great call quality, perfect for those who want a cheap phone just to make calls.	The Pantech is certainly different, but we couldn't get past the design flaws.	Despite some design issues and a couple of missing features, the Motorola Droid is the most powerful and fastest Google Android device to date. It fully embraces the openness of the Android platform and offers Verizon customers a smartphone that certainly rivals the other touch-screen devices on the market.	The LG V8300 is a well-designed and high-performing EV-DO phone for Verizon Wireless.
