The Bottom Line	Though it doesn't look like much, the Verizon Wireless CDM8950's multimedia features and free price tag provide unbeatable bang for the buck.	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.	Its design could use a few tweaks, but the Samsung Sway SCH-U650 offers satisfying performance and a functional feature set.
