The Bottom Line	The UTStarcom CDM-8905 is a decent and affordable no-nonsense phone from Verizon Wireless, but there are better basic phones in Verizon's lineup.	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 Motorola W755's design looks way too familiar, but its solid feature set, ergonomic controls, and enjoyable call and video quality make it a reliable Verizon Wireless handset.	The Motorola VU204 is an easy-to-use cell phone with a simple design and good call quality. It offers a few extra features, as well.	Though its performance wasn't completely top-notch and we would prefer a more recent Android OS version, the HTC Droid Eris is a satisfying Android device that offers a nice contrast to the Motorola Droid. And you can't beat the price.
