Pantech Duo Review - LaptopMag

Pantech Duo

LaptopMag reviews the Pantech Duo: “The Pantech Duo (AT&T) sports a dual-slider design, so you get both a QWERTY keyboard and numeric keypad. (It’s actually kind of addictive.) Other highlights include high-speed HSDPA data and easy access to instant messaging. It’s not nearly as innovative as the dual-slider Helio Ocean, and the keyboard could be better, but the Pantech Duo still supplies messaging-savvy consumers and young professionals with a good all-purpose device that won’t weigh them down.

The Pantech Duo is a solid phone for staying productive and connected on the go, but there is plenty of smart phone competition at or below this price. We prefer the $199 AT&T BlackBerry Curve because of its ease of use and better keyboard; plus, the latest version adds GPS while staying under $200. If you’re leaning toward Windows Mobile, the upcoming BlackJack II ($149) has more features than the Pantech Duo, but this dual-slider is more pocket-friendly. Presuming you can get comfortable with the tiny keyboard and don’t mind recharging often, you’ll be satisfied with this device.”
