You won't see it at Mobile World Congress, but Verizon Wireless added the LG Accolade to its lineup this week. The very middle of the road, the Accolade has a standard flip-phone design and a modest feature set.

Inside you'll find a 1.3-megapixel camera, text and multimedia messaging, Bluetooth, speaker-independent voice commands, a personal organizer, a 1,000-contact phone book, a speakerphone, support for VZ Navigator, and Web-based e-mail

The Accolade is $69.99 with a two-year contract, but an online discount will knock it down to $19.99.
