The Bottom Line	The Samsung SCH-A970 is a good choice for a rich multimedia experience, though the promised features don't always live up to expectations.	The Samsung SCH-A930 makes a mostly good showing, but there are better choices in Verizon's EV-DO lineup.	With an understated design and a solid feature set, the Samsung SCH-A870 is a great midtier offering from Verizon.	The Samsung SCH-A950 is an attractive 3G cell phone with decent features, but some annoying restrictions remain.	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.
