| Bottom line | While the ZTE Groove can make calls, pass it over in favor of better Cricket handsets. | Cricket's LG Optimus Regard is an excellent choice as an entry-level
Android phone, but look elsewhere if you care about photo quality or don't have adequate 4G coverage. | While the ZTE Engage flaunts a sturdier design and better screen than most ZTE handsets, it's a poor performer where it counts the most. | Demanding
Android fans won't like the HTC One V's slow performance but its premium design and low, no-contract price makes it a steal on Virgin Mobile. |
