I purchased the Pantech Duo model C810 because of the qwerty keyboard feature. That part of it worked fine. The rest of it I was more than a little disappointed in.
MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT is the sound quality of a normal voice conversation. It was extremely muffled and at times unintelligible.
QWERTY KEYBOARD: This is a nice feature if you send a lot of text or typing. The layout is, of course, small and takes some practice to get the right keys. It is still better than tapping out on a numerical layout.
BLUETOOTH: I tried to use bluetooth to transfer my ringtones from my other phone and received an error message stating that "was not supported". Although it did come with a data cable in the box to transfer them from a computer.
MENUS: It is easy to get lost in the menus. It took quite a while to even find where to change certain options or how to set ringtones. I feel I am very knowledgeable on with electronics. I have had and set up many different cell phones by several different manufacturers. With that said, I quickly became lost in the menus.
I will be returning this phone and do not recommend it if your primary use for it is voice communication.
good idea, but not a good product January 3, 2008

Let me first start off by saying I LOVE AT&T- I love their services, I love their customer service, they have great phones. I was trying to switch over from Sprint. Sprint sucks. their customer service is horrific, I've had nothing but problems, and most of their phones fall short of the current technology.
Secondly, IF YOU BUY CELL PHONES WITH SERVICE FROM AMAZON, YOU CANNOT EXCHANGE THEM. You can return them for a refund, your account will remain active with the cellular carrier you chose, but you cannot exchange the phone through Amazon, and you have to close the cell account, return the phones and wait 60 days before ordering cells with service from Amazon.com again, if you decide to do so. I will not.
but back to the Duo. we've had this phone since Jan 2, 2008. they are being returned, without exchange mind you.
I have a Treo 700wx and my daughter has the Rumor with Sprint. she loves her slide-out QWERTY and YIM, and I was envious of that- I have a full QWERTY, but no java support on WM5 for instant messaging services (I can't even send picture text messages without 3rd-party software). we wanted to switch over to AT&T for several reasons, and the Duo seemed like a good match for the both of us. so I ordered 2 of them through Amazon. I should have listened to the reviews.
in our opinion, the Duo is small in size, difficult to handle, and the buttons are small as well as difficult to manage. the slide-out QWERTY is the second "layer" and it is not hard to slide out- actually, it's hard to make sure it doesn't! the 12-key pad has a locking to it, to avoid accidental sliding, unlike the QWERTY. in all, it felt like with one drop on the carpet, this thing would break into it's three layers, and you feel that sensation while in your hand.
the QWERTY keys are square, rubbery and flush with the tray, so it is difficult to type with. I had fun playing with it, but my daughter was almost crying because she wanted her Rumor back. she really did not like this phone. she thought she was going to break it.
I'm a multi-tasker, and I could not hold the phone between my ear and shoulder. the way the slider is, there's not enough there to hold onto this way. I hadn't investigated enough to know how to turn the speaker phone on.
calls sounded muffled on both mine and my daughter's. even with the volume all the way up, it was hard to hear whomever we were speaking to. we checked with AT&T to see if it was the service area, but it was not.
it is attractive to look at, until you see the finger smudges all over. the camera was decent. the colors and screen clarity are great, but the screen is small to me. great AT&T services to use the internet, instant messaging, etc.. WM6, which is great, but you cannot customize the today screen with what *you* want on it, unlike my Treo with WM5.
so we're back with our Sprint phones for the time being, until all this mess gets straightened out with Amazon, so we can have our phone numbers ported back on phones we really want, with an excellent service provider.
 good buy for those who text frequently March 25, 2008

I bought my 18-year-old daughter this phone to replace a Razor so she could text more easily. She has had it for 6 months and LOVES it. Very easy to use as a "texting tool". She does not connect to the internet on it. The smaller size is nice, it fits well in a pocket.
I then bought the phone for my 16-year old son, and had a different experience. After 25 days, we returned it because it froze frequently, and would not receive phone calls/texts occasionally even with full bars of service. He regularly had to remove the battery and put it back in to reset it. The new replacement pantech duo phone has worked great, no problems. He has had this one for 2 months.
I am guessing that maybe there are some duds out there, so just make sure you can exchange it before you plunk down your money. (I purchased mine through an AT&T store and had no problem with the return.)
 Great for a person on the go! December 30, 2007

I purchased this phone after reading mixed reviews.. I am glad that I followed my gut on this one and got one.. Other phones promise, but this one delivers.. The bluetooth is solid, using the device for email and messaging is the easiest I have ever experienced. I get service with this phone in areas where my other phones wouldnt.. the QWERTY is very usable and the phone is very solid.. I have dropped mine numerous times and it still works perfectly... I am getting my husband one for his bithday since he is always asking to use mine!!!

This phone is one of the best phones I have ever used.
The features on this phone make life a lot easier because it's like a PDA but smaller and a phone. Now, I am not a business person on the go, but I'm a full time student and working 30 hours a week, so things can get pretty crazy for me. This phone has helped with scheduling my classes, work , and time set aside for homework.
If I had to name one problem, it would be that when I first received this phone, I got a faulty one. When I went to the settings menu, I found codes instead recognizable language. So, I returned it and AT&T gave me a new one with no hassle at all.
Some people have given this phone bad reviews and that's their opinion. I think they don't like this phone because they are too used to their old phone and too stubborn to break their shell and try something new. My point is this, if you're looking for a new phone and you want your day to flow with easy, give this phone a try.
