Pantech Pursuit (AT&T)

The Pantech Pursuit offers AT&T subscribers a good little messaging phone with a surprisingly roomy keyboard and touch screen.

Colorful, accurate touch screen. Roomy QWERTY keyboard. Responsive UI.

No voice dialing. Proprietary headphone jack. Expensive, required messaging and data fees. Bloatware-infested.

Multimedia, Camera, and Conclusions There's 67MB of free internal storage, plus a side-mounted microSD card slot that accepts 32GB cards; my 16GB SanDisk card worked fine. The proprietary headphone jack is a huge bummer; good luck finding earbuds, as...

Pantech Pursuit review

Despite the growing trend of smartphones in the country, AT&T has maintained its commitment to the messaging handset market, claiming that there's a huge market for so-called "smartphone lite" devices. As part of this, AT&T has launched a number of...

The Pantech Pursuit has a playful compact design with a great QWERTY keyboard and colorful display. We also like the unique "shake" control trigger. Features include 3G, a 2.0-megapixel camera, a music player, and stereo Bluetooth.

The Pantech Pursuit has touch-sensitive keys for answering and ending calls, and the small screen size makes for a poor Web browsing experience.

The Pantech Pursuit is a great little messaging phone that is fun to use and is affordable as well.

Pantech Pursuit Reviewed

There has been a noticeable upsurge in smaller and more compact messaging mobile phones in the market today. The Pantech Pursuit has fallen into that category. It is a quick messaging phone with its sliding keypad and touch screen.

This is a great messaging device and networking tool but is best suited for the younger generation. The small QWERTY keypad and touchscreen make the phone easily accessible and its media player offers music on the go. AT&T's 3G connectivity is a decent...

Review: Pantech Pursuit

AT&T's new quick messaging phone, the Pantech Pursuit, is an adorable little feature phone with a few cool gimmicks on board to set it apart.

"Phone fails to turn off so battery runs out."

This phone is worthless after only 3 months. AT&T says water damage. How can you "fight" the dreaded pink dot? I believe it is way too sensitive to moisture. Truly, the only water it has come in contact with is moisture from hands after washing hands...

Small and nice keyboard.

Too sensitive to moisture/water. After charging the battery over night and unable to turn it off while at school, my daughter can't make a call because the phone is dead by the time she is out of school.

this phone is really great! text messaging with this phone has made life so much easier (: It's so easy to use also. The touch screen is wonderful! it's just an overall great phone. The battery doesn't last as long as I'd like it to, but it's wonderful!(:
