    CNET Review

    September 3, 2008

    The Good: The Verizon Wireless Blitz has a vibrant display, a cute and compact shape, and an excellent QWERTY keyboard. Call quality was good as well.

    The Bad: The Verizon Wireless Blitz does not have EV-DO, and even though you have access to V Cast Music, you can't download songs over the air.

    The Bottom Line: Despite its lack of high speed data connection, the Verizon Wireless Blitz is a great phone for messaging fanatics.
