The Bottom Line	The Samsung SCH-U550 doesn't offer the performance or design that we'd expect from a 3G Verizon Wireless cell phone.	The Samsung Knack SCH-U310 is one of the best basic phones on the market. If you need a handset for making calls, you can't go wrong.	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 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 VX5500 is a basic and affordable camera phone with decent performance.
