The ultimate all-in-one device, it also features a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity with stereo music streaming, and MicroSD memory expansion.

AT&T Service
This AT&T phone can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas. The AT&T 3G network uses the UMTS 850/1900 network (also known as WCDMA), making it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services with speeds up to 3.6 Mbps. It also gives AT&T the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services.

In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go.

With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Cellular Video (CV) service and the Internet while on the go. Cellular Video features content from CNN, The Weather Channel, iFilm, Comedy Central and exclusive premium content from HBO and much more. And you get access to AT&T Mobile Music, which enables you to buy tracks while on the, access the Napster subscription music service, stream music video, discover what's playing with Music ID song-recognition software, and find out what's hot with The Buzz music news portal. (A MEdia Max subscription bundle is recommended for accessing AT&T's Internet, video, and music services.)

The phone has a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. AT&T's MEdia Net service enables you to receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more.

You can also take advantage of the TeleNav GPS Navigator software, the full-featured premium navigation application that includes audible turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic updates and re-routing options, and 3D moving maps. It comes as a 30-day trial version, and it can be downloaded via the TeleNav web site or via virtual pre-load icon (VPL) after activation.

You'll also be able to use Windows Media Player to store and access pictures, videos and music.

Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated Bluetooth wireless connectivity (version 1.2), which includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and audio/video remote control. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones.

Simple, intuitive controls allow for easy access to any of features of the Pantech Duo. Use the 5-way navigation key to locate and select options appearing on the display.

3 out of 5 stars Pantech C810 Duo   July 20, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this phone specifically for the full keyboard. I found it has many other functions that I have NO CLUE how to use. The informational cdrom they included was USELESS. This phone is a mystery, no online help & the people at AT&T have no idea how to use it eaither. The help guide is HORRIBLE!!! I do like the phone, but i would LOVE to know how to use the functions it has.


2 out of 5 stars The Battery SUCKS   June 29, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I love the phone, but hate the battery. I HAVE to re-charge everyday no matter if I had calls or not. If the phone is on..it it draining the battery.

Really ticks me off. I should have waited and gotten the LG VU

4 out of 5 stars Switched from Iphone, happy I did   June 16, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I dropped my iphone in the sink, it sunk, and since a new version comes out in a month, I had to get something to tide me over---so I took a chance on the dreaded Microsoft and an often panned Pantech Duo. I've had it two weeks now and I have to say: this was a lucky find.

First of all, this is not a flimsy phone as has been reported. With two sliding keyboards (much like a magic trick!), it is amazingly solid. The screen is extremely bright and vivid. The QUERTY keyboard is small, but way better than a touch screen, however, there is almost no sense of feedback, so you still have to be careful.

Phone-wise, it sounds very good to me, and gets signal where Iphone couldn't. It has a bounty of software, including To-Do and various versions of OFFICE. 3G internet access is pretty fast, nothing compared to a good laptop on a DSL, but usable.

I like that it is very easy to change ringers, from silent to normal to vibrate. The camera is just ok, but I don't really count on my phone to serve as my photographic equipment.

It's a little chunky, but its other dimensions are quite small.

All in all, I haven't seen a phone out there without a touch screen which is better. The ATT tilt is way bigger and heavier, and has no mechanical buttons for dialing.

I think most people would enjoy this phone. It does not sync with a Mac, by the way, unless you buy 3rd party software. Aside from that, it's a winner for me.



5 out of 5 stars Pantech C810 Duo Smartphone   May 20, 2008
 16 out of 17 found this review helpful

I purchased the Pantech C810 Duo several weeks ago. My observations are:

1) Small and compact considering all the features and full QWERTY keyboard.
2) Reception is good and internet is fast.
3) I've read other reviews that said the phone seemed "flimsy", but I do not experience this. It could be because this phone is made mostly of plastic compared to other metal phones.
4) It is convenient that it is GPS capable, however, I feel ripped off paying $10 a month for GPS when other GPS units (Garmin, TomTom, Magellan, etc.) are free.
5) Battery life appears good. I recharge about every other day, but that's with heavy texting and internet usage.
6) Picture quality is quite good, however, I haven't played with the video yet. Personally, I find it very difficult to watch video on such tiny screens when I'm used to my 60" at home.
7) Music quality is as good as any other product I have ever used.
8) If you plan to use Excel and Word, you can definitely do it with this device, but it will definitely get some getting used to. There's nothing I need to do in Excel or Word that I can't wait until I get back to my PC to do.
9) Amazing amount of phone and features for the price.

In summary, this is a great phone and can do a lot of features. I would be ecstatic if they could implement a "Garmin" type of GPS so I wouldn't have to pay so much for GPS from ATT. It's outrageous that ATT charges a separate GPS fee in addition to their media package fee.
