Pantech Jest officially on sale with Verizon, cuteness and all

Last week we wrote about the upcoming Pantech Jest that we saw in a leaked Verizon spec sheet. The phone was supposed to go on sale on Thursday, but it is already available on Verizon's website for free with a two-year contract.

The blue Jest is actually pretty cute with its small QWERTY slider form factor. It is a feature phone that emphasizes on messaging and social networking through a dedicated My Messaging key. Navigation is done with an optical directional pad, and the camera is the meager 2MP.

The Pantech Jest obviously targets the teenage crowd and its tendency to write insane amounts of texts, IMs and status updates. It looks well suited for that with its youthful looks, slider keyboard in black and orange, and dedicated buttons for messaging, music and snapshots.
