 The Verizon Wireless Blitz is designed around one feature: messaging. Unfortunately, the phone gets this feature wrong in almost every way. The dedicated messaging key is hidden among a jumble of small keys. The messaging apps themselves are wildly inconsistent, very basic and lack the advanced features that the intended audience will really use, like Facebook or MySpace integration. Typing is not only difficult, the keyboard actually works differently depending on which messaging app you're using. Instead of redeeming this phone with a good music player, a competent Web browser or a fun, effective camera, the phone is strangely a great navigator, which is probably the only feature the tweenage audience won't be craving. The price is right, but the phone is large and difficult to use, so we'd recommend looking elsewhere, like the LG enV2. Release: August 2008. Price: $50.
Pros: Good GPS navigation services. Inexpensive.
Cons: Messaging apps are sloppy and inconsistent. Keyboard keys are too small, while the device is too large. Slow networking, lousy browser, sub-par camera, basic music experience.
