UberGizmo reviews the Pantech Duo: “The Pantech Duo is an interesting device that addresses the lack of numeric pad on QWERTY Smartphones, but it is not the “best of both worlds”. To sneak in a numeric pad, Pantech had to make the QWERTY keyboard flat, making it not as effective as a classic QWERTY Smartphone like the Blackjack, Treo 750 or the Motorola Q9. The Pantech Duo is for users who wish to get a numeric pad that feels like a “normal” phone, but at the same time enjoy the benefits of a QWERTY keyboard, for mild texting. Heavy texters should go for a classic QWERTY phone.”

A common complaint that QWERTY phone users have is that it is hard to dial a simple number with a qwerty keyboard (vs. searching a contact by name), especially while driving (well, is one supposed to do that?). Pantech believes that customers don't have to choose between a “normal” numeric pad and a large QWERTY keyboard, that's why it has included both in the Duo, a design that is not unique, but rare. We have put the Pantech Duo to the test to see if it really is the best of both worlds.

SlashGear reviews the AT&T Pantech Duo: “The AT&T Pantech Duo has a big bright external screen. This makes navigation a breeze. The front of the phone also has a nice indented pattern around the screen. It adds well to the aesthetic of the phone.

Call quality on the AT&T Pantech Duo was above what I expected. Very easy to hear whether you’re in a quite room, or a noisy crowd. Speaker quality is good for voice calls, but so-so when playing music with the built in Windows Media Player 10.

Overall, the AT&T Pantech Duo is a great phone for the business user as well as the everyday consumer in search of an above average phone. I give the phone a 4 out of 5. Pick it up for about $300 retail.”

MobileBurn reviews the Pantech C810 Duo: “The Pantech C810 Duo for AT&T is a good device. It offers a lot of good functionality, like HSDPA data and top-notch voice control, in a cleverly designed package. While the QWERTY keyboard suffers from a few design compromises, it is still very useful to have included. On the down side, the camera in the Pantech C810 Duo is a massive disappointment, and the Duo’s main menu seems especially disorganized.But luckily for Pantech, I don’t feel that any of these things are deal breakers. While I might like the physical design of HTC’s S710 better, the Pantech C810 Duo is all over the S710 when it comes to data speeds. So if fast is your game, and you wouldn’t mind occasionally using a QWERTY keyboard, the Duo could be just the ticket. I give it a “Recommended” rating.”

Pantech's C810 Duo for AT&T boasts a two-way slider mechanism that conceals both a QWERTY keyboard and a regular numeric keypad. This Windows Mobile 6 smartphone also comes equipped with high-speed HSDPA 3G data connectivity. We give it a whirl in this in-depth review.

Cellular phone makers, nowadays, are very smart in customizing cellular phones for consumers who have varied of interest. Previously, we have seen a big success of Okwap’s Hello Kitty phones. Now, Pantech, the 3rd lagest cellular phone maker in Korea, is set to launch the Latin Music Phone in Mexico together with TELCEL, the largest mobile carrier in Mexico.. The model name of the Pantech phone is C510 and the phone is preloaded with the latest pieces of music of Mexico Popular “RBD”.

Pantech C510, regarded by people as being best suited to Latin culture, has attracted public attention from its very beginning ...

Even though the Pantech Duo has an impressive feature set that include 3G/HSDPA support, we were ultimately disappointed with its subpar design.
