Verizon gets PN-820 Flip Smartphone
I am sure this wasn't there when I was checking phones on VZ website last week.



Has anyone used, or seen this one? What's the external screen for? Possibly and FINALLY a full screen caller ID picture, maybe!?! Any customizations? I think this looks cool, but a bit bulky and what's up with that long antenna. It is calling to be broken within a few weeks. I hope it doesn't extend any further with that little "Motorola" type antenna.

This is pantech, right? Maybe someone with Verizon Wireless can post a brief review.

I just got the Pantech PN-820. Like everyone else, I was not impressed with the looks, but it was a free replacement from Verizon Wireless.

It is pretty close to everything I have ever wanted in a smartphone. I haven't used every feature yet but so far so good.

CONS:
*Not the best looking phone

* This may not be a con (maybe I just don't know how to do it), but the front LCD can't be customized like the home screen. There are a few default choices, but none that I like.

* Sort of a small front LCD, but readable. The font though is pretty ugly and doesn't appear it can be changed.


PROS:
* Acts like a Q (a plus for me!). A few less choices in settings (colors, ringers), but fairly close to what I had in the Q.

* Extremely light weight. Battery is very thin for the standard battery.

* Very clear home screen.

* Very clear sound quality (calls and music).

* I like flip phones. I know some don't. My dream phone would be the Samsung i500 for its size but modified with current technology. This is close because I am a heavy phone user that wants some PDA capabilities.

* Keypad functions very well (no qwerty keyboard though). I have long fingernails so this is a big plus for me. A scroll feature would be nice in a future model - maybe because I'm used to it in the Q.

OVERALL:
One of the best phones for me but it is not a flashy phone. A much sleeker, modern looking revamp would put it at a solid 5! I'm happy to have found this phone.
