The Samsung Galaxy Fit looks good and offers a great camera. Its low-res screen and relatively weedy CPU are disappointing but this Android smart phone is very affordable. Read more

LG Optimus Chat review
The LG Optimus Chat looks and feels like a low-cost phone, but its Qwerty keyboard means it stands out from the horde of similarly priced Android handsets. If you're mad about messaging, it'll be worth a look. Read more
