Pantech Pocket

The Pantech Pocket is certainly a unique device, whose characteristics allow it to excel at some tasks, while impede it with others. The phone’s wide display is great for browsing the web, but the slow processor can make loading web pages a chore. Those with fast thumbs will enjoy messaging on a wide screen, but it can be difficult to bang out a quick message when you are holding the phone with just one hand. Add in a disappointingly slow camera and average battery life, and the Pocket becomes just that, another average Android smartphone on the shelf. The only saving grace may be its low cost, as AT&T is only asking $49.99 for the Pocket with a new two-year contract. Still, users who are willing to invest just a little bit more money can find a smartphone that may work a bit better for their needs, even if it might not have the unique character of the Pocket.
