The Bottom Line	With an understated design and a solid feature set, the Samsung SCH-A870 is a great midtier offering from Verizon.	The Samsung Smooth is a basic-looking, budget-friendly phone with some compelling extras--it's a good option for Verizon customers who don't want to extend their contracts just to get a reasonable price on a new handset.	The Samsung SCH-A930 makes a mostly good showing, but there are better choices in Verizon's EV-DO lineup.	The Samsung Alias 2 is an inventive update to Samsung's previous messaging phone. Provided you can afford it, and learn how to use it, it's a powerful messaging device with reliable performance.	The LG V8300 is a well-designed and high-performing EV-DO phone for Verizon Wireless.
