| The Bottom Line | Samsung's stylish world phone roams on both CDMA and GSM networks, but it's saddled with a hard-to-use keypad, and it lacks some key features. | With an understated design and a solid feature set, the Samsung SCH-A870 is a great midtier offering from Verizon. | The Samsung Glyde is a powerful cell phone with decent performance, but its touch-screen design and controls don't complement its features. | Despite a couple of design glitches and restrictions, the Samsung SCH-A990 is a high-end multimedia phone that boasts a sharp, 3.2-megapixel camera and good call quality. | Strong battery life and great video performance make the Samsung A890 a good bet for consumers who don't need corporate-friendly features. |
