Pantech Pocket Review
Share:
 |
Maintain a steady 4 to 5 bars in high coverage areas, we didn’t notice any fluctuations with signal strength – also, it didn’t drop any phone calls during our testing.
With its 1,650 mAh battery, we’re able to pump out 6 hours of talk time, which meets the manufacturer’s rating. Meanwhile, it’s still something that requires nightly charges seeing we get by a solid day of normal usage.
Conclusion:
As much as we’d love to give props to Pantech for enabling the Pocket to stand out with its untraditional size, there’s nothing really going on elsewhere to make it a polarizing offering. Actually, it’s more of the same from Pantech’s camp, as they have yet another middle of the road offering that’s affordable on any budget. However, it simply lacks the polish in both the software and hardware side to keep it compelling over the competition – even if it’s priced at $49.99 on-contract. To tell you the truth, you’re better off dealing your hard earned cash into something more magnificent.
Software version of the reviewed unit:
Android Version: 2.3.4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-perf
Build Number: GINGERBREAD

Too bad. This is a neat form factor. I would have liked to see it be a hit, just due to it being different.

Dislike this phone. It crashes completely on me at least twice a day requiring a hard battery pull. It also freezes as I am dialing. Took it to the ATT store and they reset all the defaults ad told me to bring it back if it keeps doing it. Taking it back tomorrow. Too bad.
