| Bottom line | Though certain aspects of the phone limit its appeal to a larger audience, the HTC Rhyme is a solid and stylish midrange
Android device that comes with some nice accessories. | The low specs, flat keyboard, and unattractive look outweigh the Samsung Intensity III's rugged design and call simulator. | Aside from a few design flaws and a poor touchscreen, the LG Extravert is a solid feature phone that can execute basic tasks reliably and has good call quality. | 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. |
