| The Bottom Line | Virgin Mobile's budget-friendly Samsung Montage is a functional messaging phone without a contract, though its poor battery life and entry-level features hardly stand out in the crowd. | The Kyocera Brio is worth the price you pay for it, but unless you're in the market for a free feature phone with a small screen, QWERTY keyboard, and good call quality, keep on moving. | With basic features and a repeat of a thick design, the Samsung M575 feels clunky and outdated. | You can't beat the Samsung Entro's no-contract price and simplicity when shopping for a dead-simple phone that only fields calls and texts. | Though you won't get blazing data or processing speeds on the Kyocera Event, as an affordable smartphone it's an excellent choice. | Basic specs |
