Pathetic attempt at user-friendliness

While the thought behind the phone (including the simpler "breeze" mode) is nice, the implementation is often disappointing.

For example, there's a long list of various service numbers (musicID, 411, voiceCall, etc) hard-coded into the phone's contact book and cannot be deleted. Why not allow the consumer to pick and choose which numbers to keep in her own phone book is a mystery to me.

While the phone is touted as particularly usable for elderly people, the power plug is finicky and requires a lot of coordination to use correctly. In various parts of the interface, large font becomes tiny and hard to read.

It's clear that Pantech is headed in the right direction, but they still have a way to go.

I LOVE THIS PHONE! Only 1 flaw!

I adore this phone. I've had it for a year now and it is SO durable and dependable!I've dropped it too many times to count even on hard concrete and it did not harm this phone one bit! It's easy to use and the reception is wonderful. I love the large buttons and viewing screen. I'm also an avid texter and I appreciate the large buttons for texting purposes. The ONLY problem about this phone is when I try to pry open the cover for connecting the charger it is very difficult to open. I have to pry the connection slot open with the blade of a pocket knife or scissors! Still I would not trade this phone for any other. It is the absolute best!

Good, But Has 1 Annoying "Feature"

The things that I like best about this phone so far, are the large display, the large raised buttons. Also, the sound is very good, and the ringer seems to be very loud. That being said, this phone currently has a major drawback for me. The keypad light only stays on for abot 5 seconds. There is currently no way to change this light on time in the software. You can extend the time that the display screen is lighted, but not the keypad. For others this may not be a big issue, but for me, I am finding it very difficult to use the keypad in low light situations.
