The PANTECH breEZe^TM is a breakthrough in intuitive cell phone design. Every aspect – from its sleek, streamlined design and extra-large color display to its simplified user interface and back-lit EZ One-Touch Quick Call keys – makes it easier to use for both children and adults.

The breEZe features:
> EZ One-Touch Quick Call Keys
> Text Messaging
> Email and Instant Messaging
> MEdia^TM Net
> Bluetooth® Capable
> Voicemail
> Camera and Video Capabilities

We like the simplified interface but the quick-call keys seem like a bit too much.  It doesn’t seem to be that much more advantageous or convenient than speed dial.  But overall, it looks like they’ve succeeded in creating a phone that will appeal to those who generally struggle to navigate through today’s mobile devices.

Dual Slide

The Pantech Duo features an innovative dual slide design offering an oversize display, a full QWERTY keyboard, and a numeric keypad; all within a device only 4.2 inches long, 2 inches wide, less than an inch thick and a wieght of just 3.9 ounces.

Messaging

The Duo supports a variety of messaging options. Text friends or use multimedia messaging to share images and sound clips. Send and received messages from your personal or corporate email accounts. The full QWERTY keyboard makes it easy to communicate on the fly.

Multimedia

Relax and unwind. Download and listen to your favorite music from your PC using the embedded Windows Media Player. Purchase tracks from digital music stores. Subscribe to XM Radio and stream dozens of commercial free XM stations. Watch video clips from MobiTV or AT&T Cellular Video Service.
The Duo should compete very well with other slider phones produced by companies such as Motorola and LG. We look forward to the future phones that Pantech will release as long as they stick to this kind of quality.
