The Bottom Line	It doesn't offer anything new, but the Samsung SPH-M520 is one of the better Sprint Power Vision phones we've seen.	While it could use a boost in the performance department, the HTC Hero is the most feature-packed Google Android device to date, bringing some notable improvements and a highly customizable interface.	The LG LX370 is a great, well-rounded, midtier phone for Sprint customers.	The Samsung SPH-M330 isn't for the active user, but it's good for infrequent callers who want a few extra features.	The Samsung Reclaim is more than just a green gimmick. Its performance could be improved, but we welcome the messaging keyboard and functional feature set.
