So, I got this phone to use with a plan we already have. It's pretty good for texting (threaded texts), taking a reasonable picture, or using instant messenger.A few things I don't like about it:There's no subject line for if you want to add a caption to a picture you are sending to facebook via mms.The middle button, when pressed at the home menu, will bring up the internet. (Creates bad accidents if you don't have a good data plan)If the directional button is pushed to the left, email pops up. (Another thing to remember to avoid)Menus are cumbersome if you don't set shortcuts.I've had some issues where my keyboard input is lysdexic and places letters in the wrong order from what I typed.Adding a ringtone is difficult for this phone, unless maybe you buy one through at&t. I haven't used the feature to find out, sorry.Conclusion: All in all, I think it's a very useful phone. It's definitely not as capable as a smartphone, but there are enough features to keep you entertained without using data. Oh, speaking of entertainment only trial/demo games came on mine.

First, I will state that I am using this model cellphone to write this review. I have had this phone for one year, one month, twelve days, seven hours and fourteen minutes as of this writing. It has good battery-life; I have turned it off about a dozen times, maybe. I charge it regularly. It has never died, though it is time to replace it, as the charger no longer stays securely in place. This phone has taken a severe beating from me, and earned my respect thereby. It has hit the concrete a thousand times. I once dropped it in the sink, partially submerging it. I used a hair-blowdryer on it, then left it in my oven overnight to dry, and months later it's like it never happened. So it isn't super-delicate and will survive some abuse, I can swear to that. It has served as my daily internet connection (for news, shopping, Wikipedia, YouTubing, Amazon, reporting earthquakes to the USGS - everything the casual internetter does - all on an "unlimited" data plan, of course, and I am not here to review AT&T's service); it is my sole telephone connection, and likewise my means of texting and such; and my only camera, being myself not so much interested in capturing and sharing all of life's precious moments - though I do send a handful of pictures and videos, and so for me personally, the camera modes are "better" (more bells and whistles) than I need (though far less than others, I would also surmise); but there's nothing wrong with the quality, for the forty bucks they're asking right now. The most relevant thing I can say about this phone is this no-brainer: probably what will most strongly influence your opinion of it is what kind of phone you are coming off of, and how many functions you are used to having at your everyday disposal. If you only need a few things, this has them all and you can make a button on the screen for "shortcuts" like alarm clock, calculator, and anything else you want designated. If you are used to a quality smartphone in the $150-250-and-up range and you want a cheap backup, this one may be too mediocre for you, but it may be passable, if you are able and willing to sacrifice.. If you are accustomed to state-of-the-art technology, this phone is probably going to seem as a Stone Age relic to you, and will not do what you are used to doing. (I understand some cellphones cost upwards of $600; if you have one of those, this phone would be an insult to taste and an affront to your dignity.) If it is only a short-term backup, then it will perform all the usual phone, text, picture/video, and internet functions you'll absolutely *need*, unless your job demands more-than-basic internet capabilities. Those spoiled on quality had best look elsewhere.If, on the other hand, you have never had a smartphone, or have only recently realized that (as was the case for me) you are paying enough of a cellphone bill each month that you could be receiving internet as well, this kind of device is a heck of an eye-opener. It will do way more than you'll ever even find out about, it's easy to figure out how to use and find your way around on, and it's kind of fun just checking out all of its features. I never once opened the user's guide that came with it.There are better and worse phones, no doubts about that; I always thought simplest was best, but upgrading to this phone was, for me, a leap forward. I would probably not buy this if I was used to a real smartphone; however, this phone is a cool upgrade if you've stayed away from the technology so far, partly because of its ease of use. After the abuse heaped on the one I have now, it is time for me to buy a new cellphone. I'm going to order another one of these.*Update 1/14/2013*Still running strong; a couple of friends and family now own one of these, and we're just happy as clams. (Clams are, by nature, extremely happy creatures - or so I'm told.)Apparently, this model is considered dated enough that AT&T still offers "unlimited" data packages with no throttling (as far as I can tell); phones that transfer data at higher speeds are not eligible for the same plan, but I still get unlimited talk/text/internet for $50 a month, and if this phone is slow, I haven't noticed. I hope they never stop selling them; I just bought an extra in case some evil should befall this one. I stand by my earlier review: this dandy device services my communications-needs admirably, though a real computer will still be necessary for any serious projects.

I bought this phone to replace my old Razr that was still working fine. I wanted something that i could text faster on and would have more memory for pics and music. I always liked the looks of the Blackberry but didnt want to spend a small fortune on a phone that doesnt get used alot. I saw an ad in the newspaper from Target Stores. They had this phone on sale for 40 bucks. I had never heard of Pantech and was not sure what i would be getting my self into. I bought the phone and set it up for Go Phone. I have had the phone for about 6 months and so far it works fine. I am still trying to get used to it since i used my Razr for many years. Things i dont like: The screen shuts off too soon. It doesnt have a conventional 1/8" plug for headphones. You need an adapter. Voicemail wont give you a name or number so as to know who called. You have to call it to find out who called and get charged. No option to delete voicemails that you dont want to check. Text messages get grouped together which can cause you to miss one. When i tun on the phone it tells me i have new messages. But they are old messages that i have already looked at. The camera works fine. The speaker works fine. The keyboard is easy to use for its size. It has a nice checkered rubber back. The sim card and battery are easy to get to. It has an expandable memory slot. The battery has a decent life. I have dropped it twice without a sign of dropping it. You are lucky if you can get everything you want in one package. Its a mixed bag. We will see if it lasts as long as my original Razr that still works.
