I got this phone a week ago.. I figured why not. I have the 30 days to return it. I was expecting that i would return it based on the fact that i have never heard of Pantech before. I was mistaken. every day i start to like this phone more and more.lt has so many features and the menus are real easy to use. i got this as a replacement for the Razr wich i hated.
i recomend this phone to anyone who likes the simplicity and size.

I hope this phone proves to be as good 3 months from now as it is now. Just bought it today and I'm liking it very much already. Very user friendly, great volume, very small. I was a little skeptical because I have not heard of this brand name. What do I have to lose? I have had 4 razr phones (pos). One keyboard locked up, one speaker went out, one totally wanted to turn off "whenever" it wanted to. Now I'm on my 4th and its not holding up well. Decided to renew my contract with cingular and bought this little dandy. Anyone got any testimonials you would like to share with me about this phone?

this is a great little phone. my only complaint is the lack of vibrate and the speaker isnt too grand but its do-able. otherwise this is one of the best phones available right now in my thoughts anyway. but then again i did only have this phone for a week.

I've had this phone for about a year now. It was a hand-me-down from my mom (about a week after she got it), because it didn't get service in her classroom and she needed one with better reception.
The small size of this phone is a HUGE plus--if you don't lose things easily. If you have ever lost a remote control more than once in a week, I wouldn't recommend it. The size of the phone also makes it quite hard to dial numbers correctly the first time, though it's not so hard if you get used to dialing with your fingernails.
After about a month of having the phone, I started noticing that the battery was lasting less and less time before needing to charge it. I got into the habit of turning it off whenever I wasn't using it and not expecting a call, and to my dismay, the battery STILL continued to drain, even when the phone was off. I know batteries leak like that a lot, but needing to put it on a charger every 10 hours is just too inconvenient for someone who moves around as much as I do. The lack of a Vibrate mode is also very inconvenient--in any setting with general noise, like at a shopping center or on a busy street, makes it impossible to hear the phone going off. All in all, not a phone I would recommend for anyone.

i think that people have forgotten that it's the worlds smallest flipphone and that in itself is great because for me i hate having to carrie extra stuff in my pockets. my problem wasn't even with the phone it was with getting it unlocked. I'm t-mobile its cingular i thought for a while i was going to have to return it but finally got it on today. the story is pretty darn funny to

I love the size of this phone, but I have to return it. There is no easy way to access speakerphone and it is not Bluetooth capable. You must be on a call before you can connect to speakerphone and then you have to go into options and choice speaker. Unfortunately it is just not user friendly and I'm not someone looking for all the bells and whistles.
