    CNET Review

    May 5, 2009

    The Good: The Verizon Wireless CDM8950 has external music player keys, EV-DO, stereo Bluetooth, and GPS. It's free with a contract.

    The Bad: The phone has a boring design and the navigation array is cramped. The music player interface is clunky as well.

    The Bottom Line: Though it doesn't look like much, the Verizon Wireless CDM8950's multimedia features and free price tag provide unbeatable bang for the buck.
