Verizon Wireless Razzle

The Verizon Wireless Razzle has a smart and functional swivel design with both QWERTY keyboard and music player controls. We like the ergonomics of the tilted keyboard and the multimedia features, and the price is reasonable

The Verizon Wireless Razzle doesn't offer over-the-air song downloads, and some of the navigation controls feel a bit cramped. For a music phone, we're disappointed it only has a 2.5mm headset jack. Photo quality wasn't that great either

Despite a few missteps, the Verizon Wireless Razzle's unique design makes it one of the better midrange phones in Verizon's lineup.

Samsung Intrepid (Sprint)

The Samsung Intrepid ships with Windows Mobile 6.5 and includes Microsoft's Tellme voice-activated service. The world phone features a touch screen, an easy-to-use QWERTY keyboard, and upgraded camera. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 3G are all onboard

Keyboard feels a bit cheap. The smartphone has a lower resolution screen than competitors

While not the flashiest smartphone on the block, the Samsung Intrepid offers Sprint customers an affordable and solid messaging world phone.

The Doro PhoneEasy345 has a low-resolution display and a rather staid design

The Doro PhoneEasy 345 is user-friendly and affordable choice for seniors, plus it has a few other goodies for those who are more than just a cell phone novice.

HTC Tilt2 (AT&T)

The HTC Tilt2 ships with Windows Mobile 6.5 out of the box and offers excellent call quality. The smartphone features a spacious QWERTY keyboard and bright touch screen

The Tilt2 is bulky and expensive. It lacks a standard 3.5mm headphone jack

Delivering an improved design and updated operating system, the HTC Tilt2 is a worthy upgrade and offers AT&T's business customers a powerful smartphone.

Pantech Reveal - red (AT&T)

The Pantech Reveal has a roomy number keypad, a full QWERTY keyboard, a full HTML Web browser based on Opera, 3G, GPS, and multimedia features too

The Pantech Reveal's QWERTY keyboard feels a bit cramped, and though we like the HTML browser, the small screen size meant we had to scroll though Web pages a lot more

Despite a few design issues, the Pantech Reveal is a good midrange messaging phone with the added bonus of a full HTML Web browser.

Nokia Mural 6750

The Nokia Mural 6750 offers a brilliant display and a sturdy construction. The functional feature set includes 3G and push-to-talk

The Nokia Mural's slim design looks a bit dated. There was a background hum during calls, and the signal was spotty at times

We like the Nokia Mural's metal skin and sturdy feel, but it's an unremarkable phone otherwise.

RIM BlackBerry Storm 2 (Verizon Wireless)

The RIM BlackBerry Storm 2 adds Wi-Fi, more memory, and an updated operating system that brings a number of feature and user interface enhancements. The revamped SurePress touch screen allows for more precision, key rollover, and limited multitouch ...

BlackBerry browser isn't on par with the competition. While improved, the touch screen still takes some acclimation

The RIM BlackBerry Storm 2 brings some welcome additions, such as Wi-Fi, updated software, and a better touch interface, but it's going to face some serious competition from Verizon's upcoming touch-screen smartphones.

Motorola CLIQ

The Motorola Cliq has a great design with a brilliant display and easy-to-use controls and keyboard. Its feature set is rich and functional, and Motorola made some welcome improvements and user interface tweaks

The Motorola Cliq lacks a file manager, a camera flash, and some basic organizer features. You can store apps only on the integrated memory, and the memory card slot is stashed behind the battery cover. Call quality wasn't perfect and the handset was ...

With its excellent design, user interface improvements, and admirable feature set, the Motorola Cliq gives a big boost to the Android operating system. We had some performance quibbles with the device, and the MotoBlur interface can be a bit much, but ...

The LG Bliss has a slim design with a 3.0-inch touch screen, a 2.0-megapixel camera, EV-DO, GPS, and a HTML browser. It also has good call quality

The LG Bliss's construction feels a bit cheap and the browser doesn't support Flash Lite

The LG Bliss is a good midrange touch-screen handset for U.S. Cellular.
