   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.

   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.]

   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.

   It was a BIG Mistake that I picked this piece of junk from AT&T lots of NEGATIVE Stuff I can say:

   1st

   You cannot send pictures that is saved in your file easy, first you have to be online and email the pictures as an attachment, which is already tedious just to go to your email account.

   UNLIKE other Cell Phone like Nokia
   
   you can send pictures 123, pick picture press “send” it will prompt you to directory with both cell #’s for texting or email address if you want to email them.

   2nd
   
   DOES NOT WORK with Motorola H350 Headset

   It will recognized the model but will not work when you want to use them, my buddy tried this Motorola H350 headset in his cell phone it work without a problem.

   3rd
   
   TEXTING not that easy

   If you have a private # you have to make duplicate of your directory and delete *82 before the number since it will not work.

   4th
   
   Clarity

   is very poor

   5th
   
   LIMITED storage
   
   Can only copy few messages you sent, you have to delete old messages if you want to save text you sent.

   6th
   
   NOT FRIENDLY USER
   
   Unless you read the entire Owner’s Manual (which even AT&T Customer Service can’t understand) you feel throwing this junk in the window.

   Pantech tried to be different from Motorola, Nokia and other major cell phone manufacturer. The basic operations SUCKS to the CORE.

   OVER ALL REVIEW

   STAY AWAY FROM PANTECH PRODUCTS

   They are a JOKE!
