Professional Review:
Featuring an innovative dual slide/double-keyboard design, the Pantech Duo smartphone is as comfortable dealing with 9 to 5 business as it is with keeping up with your 24-hour-a-day communication needs. Powered by the Windows Mobile 6 operating system, it includes Microsoft's Direct Push Technology for up-to-date e-mail delivery and automatic synchronization of Outlook calendars, tasks and contacts. In addition to its quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity, it also runs on AT&T's 3G HSDPA/UMTS network for fast Internet browsing, high-speed music downloads, video streaming/casting. The ultimate all-in-one device, it also features a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity with stereo music streaming, and MicroSD memory expansion.



The innovative dual slide design offers both a full QWERTY keyboard and numeric keypad.
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.

Phone Features

When holding the Duo in a wide, landscape orientation, the QWERTY keyboard slides open for writing e-mail and editing Microsoft Word and Excel documents. And the drop-down numeric keypad is ideal for sending quick texts and dialing on the run. A flip of the wrist initiates either keyboard to address any mobile need.

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.

   Summary: It died after 10 days
I purchased the phone from EBay Express for my teenage daughter 10 days ago for over $325.00. We are not yet in the period of our 2 year phone contract therefore this phone would have cost $450.00 through the AT&T store. The phone was brand new (not reburbished) and exactly what we expected in size and appearance. My daughter loved the Qwerty keyboard, and was more then pleased with the look and style of the phone. The phone however was extremely slow with transmitting text messages and super slow with any photo downloading or attempts to navigate on the internet.
We have now had the phone and entire 10 days and it has completely shut down and does not work at all. I am in the process of trying to get reimbursment through pay pal from my ebay purchase. I would warn anybody who purchases this phone from a non AT&T dealer, that you lose your "return it to the store" option when you do not purchase it direct from the store. I am not sure how the process works through Amazon, but I want to say "buyer beware".. The phone is super cute, but not very hardy.

   Summary: I expected more.
There are many pros and cons to the Pantech Duo. Unfortunately, there are probably more cons than pros.

PROS
- The keyboard feature is amazing. It's great for people that love to text.
- The Internet feature is handy. I can look up the weather, go on myspace, and look for directions or maps on mapquest.
- You get a couple entertaining games with the phone.
- There's a calander that you can write upcoming appointments in and the appointments for that day or the next day will show up on the homescreen (for those people that are forgetful and need to be reminded often).
- There are many options for the homescreen layout.

CONS-
- Bad sound quality. Even when the volume is all the way up, I can't hear the person I'm talking to well.
- Even if you have no intention of using the Internet, you have to pay $30 a month for the Internet option.
- When you change the homescreen layout, you probably won't realize you have texts, missed calls, or voicemails because it's not noticable on the screen. I ended up missing a call for a job interview and I didn't realize it for days.
- There's other little quirks that bother me but probably nobody else, such as the inability to edit phone numbers without saving them and not being able to see the time on text messages or recent calls.
- The Internet option is great, like I said, but it takes awhile to do anything on the Internet because computer screens are huge and cell phone screens are so small, making it a little bit slower and more difficult to use.

I would recommend this phone to somebody that texts a lot, because of the keyboard feature. I would not recomend this phone to someone that talks on the phone a lot, because the sound quality sucks. Also, if you don't want the Internet option, I recommend looking for another phone. You don't want to waste $30 a month if you're not going to use the Internet.

Overall, it was kind of a disappointment.

   Summary: A nice little phone
I purchased this phone for my wife (the red Duo) to help her stay organized. And so far she loves it. We haven't experienced any of the issues other reviews noted. My wife hasn't had any major complaints.

This is a Smartphone and does not have a touch screen, but once you get used to the navigation methodology of smart phones you won't think twice about it. The only complaint I have is there does not appear to be a light to indicate the caps lock or the function lock is on. When trying to switch from inputting numbers (using the keyboard) to letter the function key stays locked. This is more than likely a lack of familiarity with this functionality, but it didn't seem to be intuitive.

You'll have a little harder time finding software for the Smartphone, but there is some great stuff out there. Like any device the software you install will make a huge difference in its usability. I would suggest using SBSH Facade, Pocket Informant, and Pocket Quickens, to name a few.

If you are a power user, you will probably get a little frustrated with this device. You are limited to microSD cards (and not microSDHC cards) so you are limited to 2 GB of extra storage. For most users this isn't an issue, but if you want to store tons of music and movies you may need to look else where.

For my wife and most users this is a great phone, and I would recommend it. But if you are a power user you may want to look at the Tilt or something similar.

   Summary: pantech c810 duo
I have had this phone for a month. This is a great smart phone .
Web download times are great. The phone switches to landscape view with in 2 seconds not instantly, but not bad either. The color on both screens is great. Although the phone only has a 1.3 mega piexel camera
it takes pretty good pictures.The phone can be set to have your e-mail
come to your phone almost as soon as it reaches your work/personal
e-mail accounts. The dual slide function is great. The phone overall
seems pretty solid mechanically. I have dropped the phone several times
and have had no problems with it.

CONS: The battery life leaves much to be desired. If I use the phone
a lot, I have to charge the phone daily, sometimes twice a day. If I
only use the phone for conversation the battery may last 2 days at most.

   Summary: Pantech Duo
First, I would like to state that I did not buy this from Amazon.com, but from AT&T. This review is more about the phone itself with a few snippits about phone service.

Overall, I really like this phone. I am not much of a texting person, but I found the pad useful for other things such as entering contacts. My fiance has stated that he found the MS programs very useful for entering his grades (he's a teacher) and that has saved him some time.

The picture quality is not wonderful with this phone. My main issue, actually, was just getting the picture feature to turn on. I need to hold down and hit the button a few times to get the camera to turn on, and I love taking photos on my phone. They could work to improve this feature.

My fiance and I bought the family plan from AT&T. So far, I have not been able to send him a text, and the book does not state anything about texting other then the instructions for doing so. We did not buy a texting plan, but I was under the assumption that we would be charged per text message. Need to contact AT&T about this.

The sound is alright on this phone. Not the best, but it works very well for what we need. At least, unlike my previous T-Mobile with Razor phone, we can contact each other when we're on the bus (could not get through/ would not ring with my previous plan). It sounds just a little bit more muffled when doing this, but we can fully understand each other in this situation.

Overall, I am finding this phone to my needs and am happy with the purchase.
