Samsung Brightside

The Samsung Brightside has a comfortable slide-out QWERTY keyboard, decent call quality, and a design that takes advantage of voice commands.

If you can't stomach an iffy screen resolution, a mediocre camera, and a laggy processor, then don't buy the Samsung Brightside.

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.

Cheap: I traded in a simple "'dumb" phone since this was the available upgrade. I don't text or IM, and do not use the email feature. All I wanted was a phone. I have three computers at home; don't need to have all the features of a "smart" phone.

1. The alarm doesn't work. 2. The calendar doesn't work properly. 3. The touch screen (which I didn't want in the first place) is too sensitive. 4. I can't get the camera to work.
