 The real question with the LG Decory VX8610 is whether the phone is a better buy than a multimedia slider and a Bluetooth headset separately. We were inclined to say it is not, but then we remembered all the Bluetooth headsets we've misplaced, or kept just out of reach. Oh, and there's that police ticket we could have avoided with a handsfree device. Bluetooth call quality is usually poor anyway, so it would be redundant to complain about the poor quality of the Decoy headset, though we wish it could have recognized our voice commands, at least. In any case, it's a design that makes so much sense it just has to exist, and Verizon Wireless' effort is solid, if imperfect. Release: June 2008. Price: $180.
Pros: Headset and handset in one neat package. Dedicated keys for useful calling features. VZ Navigator worked well, sensitive GPS.
Cons: Bluetooth call quality is unsurprisingly poor. Lacks some IM and e-mail messaging clients. V Cast music and video aging, not worth the cost of entry.
