| Bottom line | The LG Enlighten is a great beginner smartphone for Verizon Wireless customers who want a physical keyboard. | Verizon customers looking for a simple phone will appreciate the Samsung Gusto 2's emphasis on call quality and comfort, despite a few minor flaws. | With its huge screen and throwback stylus, the
Samsung Galaxy Note with Android 4.0 is a polarizing smartphone that winks at tablet territory. Those who like their screens extra-large will find a top-notch device that lets multimedia shine. The S Pen adds some artistic potential, but for some, the phone will simply be too big. | With its solid design and great features, the LG Ally is an affordable and welcome addition to the
Android family. | The Samsung Brightside isn't my all-time favorite feature phone, thanks to its exposed touch-screen menu, low-res screen, and laggy processor, but it is one option for Verizon customers. |
