Pantech Pocket Review
Posted on January 13, 2012
Filed Under accessories, AT&T, Cell Phones, Pantech | Comments Off
The Pantech Pocket is, in a word, untraditional. Measuring 4.52 by 3.07 by 0.44 inches, it definitely stands out with a square look next to the longer and thinner smart phones. While the name may be deceiving, as it probably won’t fit comfortably in your pocket, it is still light and comfortable to hold, with a full plastic build and soft touch, rubberized finish. It’s also light at 4.4 ounces. The 4-inch 600×800 pixel resolution screen is good for a mid-level phone with 16 million color support and text looks crisp and clean. The Pocket runs on Android Gingerbread and Pantech added a few features of their own. On the lock screen there is a circle with spokes coming out to individual apps. Drag the circle up the spoke to the app you want to open when you unlock the screen, taking out a middle step once you unlock the phone. In the middle of the ring is your battery status.
Once the phone is unlocked, you have access to 7 home screens. The Pocket comes preloaded with plenty of apps so you can get going as soon as you open the box. Among these apps are the Google Services, a wide selection of AT&T apps, Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon Kindle. One bonus for the extra wide screen is the keyboard is very roomy. It also has all of the standard smart phone features – Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, multimedia player, and email capabilities. It does have a 5 megapixel camera and 720p HD video capture, however, it does not have a flash and has a fairly long shutter lag. It runs on a single core Qualcomm 1GHz processor. The Pocket has a 2GB memory card preloaded and can support up to a 32GB card.

We recommend having a reliable vehicle charger. Whether it’s your main charger or a back-up, a vehicle charger can come in handy in many situations, not to mention if you’re in an emergency and need power to your phone. The ultra precision Pantech Pocket Naztech LCD Charger features fine contours and a digital LCD readout that makes it unlike any other Pantech Pocket battery charger on the market today. The LCD charger provides a digital readout of the charging status while making the interior of any car look great. Manufactured in Naztech’s certified facilities this Pantech Pocket charger represents the pinnacle of manufacturing precision and consistency. The state of the art microprocessor powering the Naztech LCD Charger provides readouts of how long the Pantech Pocket battery has been charging and how long is left before it’s fully charged. This unit also features dual color LED indicators amber while charging and blue when charging is at least 75%. The multi-angel swivel head allows the unit to fit in any car and in any position. No other Pantech Pocket battery charger currently made has the quality or precision of the Naztech LCD mobile rapid charger.

If you plan on using your Pocket in the car, we can’t stress safety enough. If your phone is securely placed on your dash or windshield at a good eye level and you have it set to speakerphone, you shouldn’t have to take your hands off the wheel at any point during your drive.

Great for small or midsize vehicles where the drivers seat is not too far from windshield. Your Pantech Pocket Phone will be securely positioned in an upright and easy to view position while driving.

Filed Under accessories, AT&T, Cell Phones, Samsung | Comments Off
For an Android smart phone, the Samsung DoubleTime i857 looks like a feature phone, with a flip open design revealing another touch screen and a full QWERTY keyboard. An entry level smart phone, probably aimed at the younger crowd, comes at a budget price from AT&T. The phone measures 4.45 by 2.44 by 0.59, making it thick and compact. It also gives it a more durable feel especially compared to the razor thin phones. The two screens are both 3.2 inches with 320×480 pixel resolution and support 262,144 colors. While the colors may not appear as bright and smooth as other phones, the detail is nice and the text does appear crisp.
They are both touch screens; the front screen can rotate both portrait and landscape and the inside screen is locked into landscape mode. Inside the phone is a 600mHz Qualcomm processor and 256 MB of RAM. The DoubleTime also has Android Froyo. While these specs may not impress some, this smart phone has plenty of power and options for someone just entering the Android market and wants a basic phone not bogged down by bloatware. It also has a 3.2 megapixel camera, video capture, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi hotspot, tethering, multimedia player and email capabilities.

We recommend having a Bluetooth accessory, especially if you plan on using the phone while driving. A Bluetooth headset is a very versatile and useful accessory, as you can use it anywhere and it allows you to have both hands free while having a crystal clear conversation. The HM1700 Bluetooth mono headset packs a broad set of high-end features while earning the approval of budget-conscious consumers. More than just a Samsung DoubleTime i857 headset for making calls, the versatile HM1700 provides A2DP support for mono music and media streaming from an external device like an MP3 player to its earpiece. The HM1700 stays true to Samsung’s commitment to crystal-clear calls and ease of use. Active pairing enables simple and automatic initial pairing to a Bluetooth handset. Multipoint technology allows pairing with two Bluetooth-enabled handsets at the same time. The headset even keeps you informed of its operating status with simple voice prompts. Add to that a multi-colored LED battery-level indicator and a dedicated on/off switch, and you always know your HM1700 is powered up to go the distance.

The Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket is another high end smart phone available on the new AT&T 4G LTE network. The body of the phone is 5.11 by 2.71 by 0.37 inches, making it a large phone. It has to be large to house the 4.5 inch screen. The screen literally takes up the entire front of the phone. The home, menu, back and search buttons are right along the bottom edge of the phone because the screen takes up so much room. The screen is 480×800 pixel resolution on a Super AMOLED Plus display that looks fantastic and is extremely responsive. The fast response time is also attributed to the third generation Qualcomm APQ8060 1.5GHz processor.
The Galaxy S II Skyrocket runs apps smoothly, even when you’re running multiple apps. Android Gingerbread 2.3.5, soon to be upgraded to Android Ice Cream Sandwich, and Samsung TouchWiz UI give the phone a nice interface that’s easy to use and organize.
