The Bottom Line	With definite advantages over its predecessor, the Samsung Messager II is a solid addition to MetroPCS and Cricket lineups.	Though not the best BlackBerry on the market, the Curve 8530 is a great entry-level smartphone, especially with MetroPCS's inexpensive unlimited monthly plan.	Though the Samsung Messager III has an updated design over its predecessors, it also has a downgraded feature and some performance issues. As such, it's a case of one step forward, two steps back.	The Samsung Craft is one of MetroPCS' most advanced feature phones, and its 4G capabilities are an added draw for those in the carrier's LTE markets.
