The Bottom Line	Though not the most attractive mobile, the Sony Ericsson Z500a has plenty of features to entertain. It's a solid performer, too.	The original thin phone, the Motorola Razr V3 has a sexy design and useful features, but its performance isn't always up to par.	Though the camera is unimpressive, the Sony Ericsson Z520a is a feature-rich and well-performing midrange cell phone.	The LG CU500 is one of the fastest phones we've ever tried, with swift downloads and impressive video streaming speeds. The feature set is impressive; the picture and audio quality are great; and the slim, attractive design is a bonus.	The Sony Ericsson W518a lives up to its Walkman name, but call quality and internal performance didn't quite measure up.
