Not that it was any surprise to us, but the Pantech Duo has made its way to the AT&T network in all its dual-sliding glory. We were fortunate enough to grab a unit a couple days early, and found ourselves loving the concept of the device. We never thought we’d say this, but the handset is almost too small for real power-usage. At least for us. The QWERTY keyboard is nice, but lays completely flat unlike the Helio Ocean. The actual number pad is great with awesome tactile feedback, and we found the Duo very zippy in almost everything from web browsing, to MMS sending, and email. Throw in BlackBerry Connect, AT&T, and you got a consumer and prosumer hit on your hands. It’s available starting today for $199.99 with a 2-year agreement.

Damnit. I was going to add this to my arsenal for the hell of it but $249 w/ $50 MIR and a 2 year is way too high. I’ll hit up $199 flat out but any MIR’s, I mean they just got the second one for my Tilt that I sent out like three weeks ago, so thanks but no thanks. No wifi? Why the hell not? C’mon Pantech WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

It does have stereo bluetooth. And it operates on EDGE/UMTS/HSPDA 1.6. If you want speed, pick up the MOTO Q 9h Global, it rocks GPS, HSDPA 3.6, 2 Megapixel, etc. Battery life on the standard battery sucks though. Battery life on the Pantech is better, which is a MAJOR plus I think. Plus it has a nice screen. As much as the iPhone sucks, it sure as hell is good at lasting through a charge.

And my friend that works at an ATT store says the signal is not stellar. Says he don’t like it. Guess that means I gotta go do some personal hands-on time with it to see for myself.

yeah i don’t know what you are smoking but i was less than pleased with the phone. definitely overpriced and the camera is horrible. blurry pictures and it is pointless to take them at night. no night mode or no flash. i had it for 4 days and i am already returning it.

This phone is a piece of shit. I had one and within the first week, dust built up inside of the phone, blocking the screen. I returned it and got another and the same thing happened.
