USE THIS PHONE IN A PREPAID VERSION TO REPLACE YOUR CONTRACT PHONE AND AVOID THE TWO YEAR SERVICE EXTENSION.

This phone is one of the smallest if not the smallest you'll ever see, we purchased it because our RAZR's kept breaking or got lost. When we replaced the RAZR's we always had to pay another $50 and sign up for another two years and have the $200 cancellation penalty over our heads.

We discovered we could take our SIM card from our normal account with the contracts and plug it into this Pantech from a WalMart and it worked just fine! Get and send your phone calls with your same number and address book and no prepay account plan or minutes are necessary.

the more versed readers of this review will be quite familiar with with how a SIM card works and this review is no surprise, but there is always the deliberate or implied question of "will my regular account SIM work in a prepaid phone" and we can tell you YES IT DOES !

++ PROS ++
1. Great battery life, amazing a phone this small can work this long.
2. The flashlight and camera flash will make sure you'll never lose anything in the dark again.
3. Sturdy, have carried it and stored it my back pocket while sitting and it never flexed or malfucntioned.
4. LCD is bright and crisp, great resolution.

-- CONS --
1. So small it can become easily lost, make sure you set the ringer to loud from vibrate or it'll never be found. The * button is a single shortcut button to switch from ring to vibrate mode.
2. Camera resolution is less than other phones, not really a con because you can't expect too much from a phone barely larger than a book of matches.
3. Cumbersome menus, getting to all of the settings isn't as easy and the way Pantech nests some options under others that don't seem to have anything to do with one another can be annoying.

Really Small

I just got this as an extra phone. I own a samsung blackjack and I just wanted another phone to use when having the blackjack would be inconvenient, First off the camera SUCKS. I love the flashlight function though. Very cool. The call quality is good, but not quite as loud as my blackjack. bluetooth works fine with my samsung headset. You can transfer pics and ringtones just fine on a mac with bluetooth. It comes with really lame ringtones and wallpapers so be prepared to buy some new ones or make your own. texting is fine too but I prefer my blackjack for that. Overall it's a very good basic phone. I swapped the blue cover for the silver one. I like it better.

Adorable

I really like this phone. The size is perfect. It's tiny, but when it unfolds it's just long enough to be fairly comfortable to talk into. The phone also feels quite sturdy and well-made. There are some very thoughtful features, like the ability to take photos using either LCD screen (as in you can also take photos of yourself). It also lets you easily switch between text-editing modes with a single button, including one just for special characters, making it way easier to add punctuation to your text messages. And the one-button vibrate mode toggle is amazing. It's also so ridiculously cute that I think I actually feel emotions toward it.

There are a few downsides, of course. For one, the menus are somewhat confusing. There are alot of ambiguously-labeled menu items under redundant or illogical categories, though if you consult the manual it isn't usually hard to figure them out. Though I still haven't figured out whether there's a setting to make it give continuous "reminder" sounds every so often if there's a message, event or missed call. If that setting doesn't exist, that's pretty annoying.

Also, there seems to be something strange and unpredictable about the battery life. I keep finding that the phone has run out of batteries and has been turned off all day, when I thought it had almost a full battery left...

But, I generally like this phone. The size and adorable-ness is definitely worth it, as the drawbacks aren't really that serious.

[Update on battery life: If there are only two bars left, charge it! The last two bars seem to disappear disproportionately quickly.]

nice and small

I like the smallness of the phone, (with everything else that you have
to carry or worry about)It is nice not to have to carry a brick around
for a phone. I like the buttons covered so you do not accidentally
dial. As for the camera, It may not be that good, but I don't
buy a phone to take pictures. The camera-phone is good to add wallpaper
or personal moments.
The two features I do not like.
1. The on-off button is the call hang up button also. If you hold it
too long the phone shuts off. (phone needs a separate on-off button).
2. the center button does not go to a main menu as one would expect,
the center but goes to the internet. Phone is too small for that
and it takes too long to disconnect. but i give the phone a high 4.
If the phone had the camera removed and a separate on-off button.
With the added blue tooth. I would give it a 5.
