A nice phone with good pictures and display.
16 years ago
This phone is very easy to use, the camera is average but the battery runs out quick. The battery is not a major problem and does not take away from the overall goodness of the phone. The key bord is very good with large letters. The internet is easily accessible and the phone has a good feel. The one thing that really bugged me about the impact is the front dialing screen. It is not very responsive and is easily broken or scratched. The touch screen dialing made calling harder than it should be. Although the impact does have some issues it is a very nice phone overall.

Nice keyboard, everything else seems bland.

I've had this phone for about a year I think. I generally don't keep phones for this long, but I haven't had the time or interest to shop around at this point. Overall, the phone is pretty average. I wouldn't say it has any spectacular features. It's not really the type of phone for apps, games etc. If you're the type of person who's constantly downloading songs, taking pictures, changing themes and such, I wouldn't say this phone is for you. I mainly use it for texting, which I've had great results with. I got this phone because it's (I think) the only ATT phone that has a flip open keyboard, as opposed to a slider. The keyboard is large and quite functional. I've read other reviews about the battery life and freezing, and all I can say is that I really only charge my phone once a week and I don't recall any freezing. Keep in mind I don't make many phone calls, it is primarily for texting. One of the things I dislike most about this phone is the text message memory. I've had other phones that allowed me to have many text messages throughout weeks without having to delete them. This phone has me deleting them at least once a week. I do have a memory card, so I know it's not that(at least i'm fairly certain). The camera takes decent pictures for one without a flash. People have also mentioned liking or disliking the "touch screen". I would by no means call this phone a touch screen phone. The front display has a vibrating, touch sensitive keypad. It is capable of texting and calling, but not much else without opening the phone. Another thing I dislike is that the front display only allows abc texting. It is NOT T9 capable. In my opinion, the whole vibrating front is a horrible gimmick and seems entirely impractical. They would have been much better off with an actual keypad with buttons. The design itself is unique, I will give it that, but again, not practical. The phone lacks many things alot of other phones may have, for example, there are no smiley inserts for texting. I know that's a silly thing to complain about, but that type of thing bothers me.
TLDR: Overall, the phone has a large keyboard which is good for texting if you don't mind cleaning your inbox out regularly. The front display is not a touch screen, it is a touch sensitive, vibrating and impractical feature.

Not the best phone you could buy.....
15 years ago
The Pantech Impact is deffinitly a phone I would Not buy. The battery life is horrible. You can lose your battery in a matter of hours , very bad. The camera/video quality is fair, of course not the best but it's deascent. It's QWERTY keyboard is very good but the sending and recieveing texts is bad, The texts are usually recieved 6 minutes later . It's very bulky and can easily drop and smash. It freezes constantly also. Very limited memory so you can't go to much overboard. And very poor navigation, the sound is poor and the map freezes up constantly also.. It can also recieve bad software bugs, and a very poor volume level. I hope this helped ! Thnks! Bbye

Over all good, only a few problems
15 years ago
I've had this phone for a little more than two months now, and it works great. The camera takes fantastic pictures, and after you take the picture you can zoom in. You can't zoom in while taking a picture though, which is frustrating sometimes, although the video camera has a zoom.
It's freezed and restarted 3 times for no reason whatsoever, but it hasn't been that much of a problem.
The battery life is okay. It goes down to 2 bars pretty quickly in about a day. But I've had it go down to 1 bar and last all day without dying even though I was taking pictures all day with it.
The front screen has a few scratches on it now (my own doing) but the touch screen still works fine.
