It may be a bit early to be writing a review on this product as I just bought it today, but I wanted to post a little something for future buyers to go on. It's sleek and simple design isn't anything new, (it has a touch screen with a full qwerty, horizontally sliding keyboard), yet is one of the thinnest and lightest devices I've seen and owned. It's exterior looks black, but is really a dark blue with silver edging. I haven't purchased any accessories yet, but would highly recommend getting a clear screen protector to protect against smudges and scratches. It's a little early to say anything about durability, but it probably wouldn't hurt to be gentle with the device given how thin and light it is. As with any electronic device if you take care of it there shouldn't be any reason for it not to last you a long time. When I brought it home the battery had only one bar, so I placed it on the charger right away. It seemed to take just over 2 hours to obtain a full charge. Time will tell how long the charge will last. Of course it may depend on how heavy a use it gets. There are a lot of apps and functions to play around with and I haven't even begun to scratch the surface so to speak. There is a lot to learn about this phone and I hope to post a better review down the road once I get to know it better. As of now I see no reason not to recommend it. Go to the store nearest you to see it for yourself.

Overall, this phone has a lot of features for a messaging phone, and the touch screen works decently for a lower end phone. I chose this phone because out of all the messaging phones with a slide out keyboard it has by far the fewest reviews complaining of freezing and glitches, so far I haven't had it freeze or anything.
Battery life is about average, if you use the internet or Navigator a lot you'll have to charge the phone every night, I usually just send maybe 30-50 texts and a few short phone calls a day, and I get 2-3 days before it goes dead.
The touchscreen is about what you'd expect from a messaging phone, it works fairly well once you figure it out, but it does have a few quirks. You have to be very precise about where you touch to select some stuff, especially when using the internet, and it's just not fast/sensitive enough to play most games, though this does help prevent you from selecting stuff by accident, so it's kind of a trade-off.
Sound quality is pretty good, but the volume is somewhat lacking, I have to put it on max volume, if I'm outside or in another loud environment sometimes I have to put it on speakerphone to hear properly, though the sound quality is still unusually good.
I was going to give this phone a four star review, but after a couple days the left edge of the screen started started making cracking noises and popping up and down when pressed, I took it back to the store a few days later and by then the entire left half of the screen was doing it. I The replacement's screen seemed fine but the blue plastic trim around it creaks surprisingly loudly when I rest my thumb on it while I'm holding it up to my ear, probably going to get a case to get rid of this.
Now after a week the left edge of the screen on the replacement is also starting to make crackling noises, though so far it's not nearly as bad as the first one. There are fairly large gaps around the edges of the screen, and the thin design of the phone seems to be allowing an excessive amount of flexing, causing the screen to come loose. Putting some type of glue/sealant in the gaps around the screen would probably fix this, it seems to be a fairly obvious design problem, hopefully my second one doesn't get worse. I checked the display model at the store, and it was making the cracking noises as well, if you do get this phone I'd definitely get the insurance on it, I have my doubts that the screen is going to last for two years.

This phone is terrible.
14 years ago
This phone has broke multiple times. The battery life is terrible and the touch screen is way too sensitive. At one point while I had this phone the keypad, touch screen, and the speaker completely stopped working. I would really reccomend that you stay away from this phone it is terrible.

ive have this phone for about a year now, its terrible. ive had the phone replaced about two times, each phone would randomly restart itself. the limited space of 300 texts was quite annoying also.

This phone is a simple little thin., it looks beautiful and feels really nice, but isnt good enough. my former phone was the samsung a777 and i would honestly go back to that if the screen didnt break. the pictures cant be cropped, battery is really short, a scratch was there within the first week and it had a protector. It also gives like an hour warning for battery. it is really inconvienient. plus when the battery is at the last bar, after that theres an empty battery which stays there for an unestimatable amount of time making it difficult to decide when to charge
just dont even think about getting this phone
i found that i constantly have to turn my phone off then on to get a dialtone for calling

Worst phone Ive ever owned.
14 years ago
I am on my fourth Pantech Laser in less then 4 months. The internal wireing in this phone is obviously faulty, because the keyboard stops working, the touch screen freezes, and sometimes just stops working all together. You will definitely regret purchasing this phone, and most of the other reviews agree with me.
