Excellent 9

Its a phone!

Ok first the good:  It works, It takes alot of abuse and the flashlight rocks.  Ok now for the bad: camera is small so its not what I'd call a picture phone.  The screen is small so internet is out of the question.  Speaker phone is all garbled up.  But All over All if you want a phone that does what your grandparent and I only could dream of in our day then this is the phone for you.  Even though I told you the negatives about it, I still give it a 9 out of 10 just because I had it for over 2.5 years and loaned it to my son all the time and it never let me down. BTW great reception.

Pros

• ability to take abuse
• flashlight
• size

Cons

• nothing if you just want a phone

Get it. Try it. Love it.

After my most-loved Motorola V55 finally quit on me (after 2.5+ years & a lot of abuse), I thought I'd try out what appeared to be a 13-year-old girl's phone. I wanted something small, but also sturdy.
I didn't need anything fancy on my phone, and the only complaint is that you can't change the keys on the middle pad or set the message notification to a custom tone.
You CAN set speed dials. LOVE the flashlight. This phone has survived TWO babies, numerous drops, drool, teething (the antenna), and other various abuse. The speaker is good for MP3 ringtones, but not so great for speakerphone mode. Camera is okay for such a small phone.
This phone is great if you are either: a tween girl, or someone who wants a basic phone that is durable & reliable. The Pantech C3B fits my busy lifestyle better than I thought it would. Yes, there are some minor programming nusances (like fixed soft keys), but they are easily overlooked against the reliability and stream-lining of this phone.
Not a good phone if you aren't a tween and actually want to IM or go on the internet regularly (I don't know how people IM regularly on this thing), or want a lot of bells and whistles. But it IS super cute. And customizable.

Pros

• small
• durable
• lightweight
• bluetooth enabled (data, not just headsets)
• camera
• MP3 capable
• flashlight
• customizable

Cons

• customizing features are limited
• short battery life
• designed for a 13-year-old girl

The best phone ever.

This is a very PRACTICAL phone. It fits everywere and has many things that apeal to the everyperson out there. the camera is ok, and the sound is better than average. People always want to see my phone and are marveled of all the things it can do. The email that can be downloaded to the phone is spectacular. I LOVE MY PHONE, i have it for 2 years now and I wonder if Pantech willmake the upgraded version of it.

Pros

• Portability, signal, variety of features

Cons

• the screen needs to have more resolution, needs a data cable

great design

It is a very simple phone but it has most of the features a pre-teen to teen i have had this phone for almost two years and it is the most durable phone i have ever seen. I have dropped it numerous times and it stil remains in tact

the sound quality and camera quality on this phone could be improved. The pictures i take come out very pixalated. The sound fails on me sometimes and i have to pull a Juno and shake the phone a couple times before i can hear on it properly and i have been doing this since the day i got it.
overall it is a wonder full phone for ages 9-13

Good 8

Good Phone for kids and ADULTS

I am 23 and I have had this phone for over a year. I went from a Blackjack to this phone. I knew it didn't have all the features. It is just a down right simple phone and I am fine with that. I love the small design. Everyone wants to look at it.That little flashlight has even come in handy for me. Durable, too. Mine is falling apart because of my own care of the phone and yet it keeps a ticking. Signal is good. I'm a truck driver so I need my signal. Most of the time the bars are full.

In the end, if you ain't in it to wow your friends or people with a "COOL" phone you have then this phone might be for you.
