The Bottom Line	The Pantech Slate is a simple messaging phone with an attractive, yet functional, design.	For AT&T customers looking for a basic messaging phone, the Samsung Magnet delivers with a slim QWERTY design and affordable price tag.	The Motorola Karma QA1 belies its cute appearance with high-end features that put it above just an ordinary messaging phone.	Despite a few quirks, the LG Neon is a good simple messaging phone from AT&T.	The Pantech Matrix is a pretty good dual-sliding multimedia handset, but we just weren't pleased with the keypad design.
