The Bottom Line	For AT&T customers looking for a basic messaging phone, the Samsung Magnet delivers with a slim QWERTY design and affordable price tag.	Despite a few quirks, the LG Neon is a good simple messaging phone from AT&T.	The Samsung Solstice offers a touch screen and multimedia features, but its performance isn't the best.	Despite a few quibbles with the touch screen, its full features and excellent performance make the LG Vu one of the hottest phones this year.	The Samsung Propel has an impressive high-end feature set, but we were disappointed by its design.
