The Good: The Samsung SCH-A870 is a lightweight flip phone with a slim profile. It also offers a VGA camera with flash, a speakerphone, Bluetooth, voice dialing, and support for VZ Navigator, Verizon's GPS location service.

The Bottom Line: With an understated design and a solid feature set, the Samsung SCH-A870 is a great midtier offering from Verizon.
