What Customers Say About Pantech C810 Duo Phone, Red (AT&T):

I bought this phone after Thanksgiving and as of today (May 27th) I was told by Best Buy (where I bought it) that I would need to send it in for repairs. The lesson I learned from this is I should have just bought the iPhone and skipped the whole windows mobile option. I find the whole Windows Mobile OS to be pretty lame. I did eventually get the Unlimited Data package and that did help some it was still annoying to find out that I was paying $30 extra a month for data that did not give me the true internet but rather gave me unlimited access to the "MediaNet" and it's strange version of a handful of sites.

It wasn't cheap either: $100 plus some other fee I can't remember. I find the phone to be more frustrating than helpful and I will refer to my iPod touch before I will try to find the same information in my phone. My only advice would be to change everything and make a shameless clone of the iPhone. To all of you out there who like this phone, more power to you. I am not normally this negative but this phone really has angered me a great deal. The phone part is very unreliable.

I don't know what I would change to make this better. Signed an angry Pantech owner. While it "syncs" with my computer it is quite easy to make a change and not realize that you just deleted all you contacts, calender appointments, emails, or files from the phone until you have left home and have no way of getting the information you wanted. Very disappointing.I have to say that I do like the two sliding parts to expose the different keyboards, however, I do find the phone to be about 3/16 of an inch too thick.

The internet is slow compared to the IPhone and the reception and sound quality are [.]. If you want to make sure your text went through, you have to keep looking at the screen for a few seconds to make sure that it goes through, because when it does go through, it tells you. Resending a message that fails to go through the first time seems like such a basic and obvious feature and the lack of it on this phone just makes me want to throw it against a wall sometimes. I hate this phone. The only redeeming quality is the qwerty keyboard. The biggest one being that text messages often fail to send, and instead of trying to resend the message, the phone just throws the message into the 'Drafts' folder. I got it about three months ago and was pleased for the most part, but then I started to realize all the stupid little problems it has. This is really obnoxious because it has happened several times that I responded to someones text, only to realize an hour or so later that my response never went through.

Then one morning it was DEAD, it would not take a charge, it would not turn on, nothing, just DEAD. It took a while for hotmail to sync but after I got that straightened out I loved my phone. I expect a phone to last a LOT longer than 2 months. This is my first smartphone and I was very excited to get it and add a data plan to my account. I used it a ton for the first few months and it seemed to be great.

I really dont like this phone. This constantly happens yo me. Sometimes when I am talking on the phone,the phone service thing just hangs up.

You have to be extra careful with the phone.If you accidentally drop the phone, the phone will respond slower.I'm not rich so I can not pay for the internet. Sometimes you can not delete your own pictures or videos it would say somthing like violation of sharing and a bunch of other stuff. Its like a baby.

i mean think about it do you want a phone where you can not delete pictures that you dont want. Hopefully when I have some money, Im going to buy a quickfire or a smartphone. You can't do aim or anything that is internet related.

I get phone calls but sometimes the phone don't show it when the phone is supposed to be ringing.

I have to shut the phone off for a little while and restart it to get service. I purchased my Pantech around a month ago. I guess you get what you pay for (.01). Not exactly what I was expecting from this phone. So far the phone has worked okay. Somedays I don't get texts or calls so I check my phone and it says try again later, service is unavailable.
