| Bottom line | If you like a real keyboard on a no-contract, reasonably priced handset, the LG Optimus Slider is a good contender. Just remember its low specs and boxy build. | The LG Optimus V is a great entry-level
Android smartphone if you want to go the prepaid route. | The LG Optimus Elite packs a couple of interesting extras, but at its core it's no more than an average
Android phone with a less than elite design. | The Kyocera Milano is certainly an affordable entry-level
Android phone, but Sprint customers have better options available to them. | While it could use a boost in the performance department, the HTC Hero is the most feature-packed Google
Android device to date, bringing some notable improvements and a highly customizable interface. |
