Pantech Crossover bound for AT&T with a June 5 release date
Until now, Pantech has been known mostly for its entry-level feature phones, but the company is now ready to release its first Android device for the US market. It is called the Pantech Crossover – a sporty smartphone with Android 2.2 Froyo on board, and after June 5, you will be able to find it on AT&T's shelves.
The Pantech Crossover is the type of smartphone that will appeal to people leading an active lifestyle. With its durable design, and rubberized corners, it is meant to handle a bit more action than an average Android smartphone would be subjected to. Another nice feature of the Pantech Crossover is its sliding full-QWERTY keyboard that will definitely make writing text messages or emails an effortless task.
The Pantech Crossover will be available through AT&T for $69.99 after you opt in for a 2-year contract.

In terms of performance, however, the Pantech Crossover does not seem to offer anything extraordinary. With its relatively modest 600 MHz processor, 3.1-inch touchscreen, and 3-megapixel fixed-focus camera, the smartphone seems to be suitable for the less-demanding Android users. The list of features also includes GPS, Wi-Fi with support for wireless tethering, and a 2-gigabyte microSD card, which has been added to the set.
