Summary: The Battery SUCKS
Comment: I love the phone, but hate the battery. I HAVE to re-charge everyday no matter if I had calls or not. If the phone is on..it it draining the battery.
Really ticks me off. I should have waited and gotten the LG VU

Summary: Love it
Comment: I have had this phone for about 6 months with no problems. the battery life changes alot if you just have the keyboard lights turn on after dark.

Summary: Switched from Iphone, happy I did
Comment: I dropped my iphone in the sink, it sunk, and since a new version comes out in a month, I had to get something to tide me over---so I took a chance on the dreaded Microsoft and an often panned Pantech Duo. I've had it two weeks now and I have to say: this was a lucky find.
First of all, this is not a flimsy phone as has been reported. With two sliding keyboards (much like a magic trick!), it is amazingly solid. The screen is extremely bright and vivid. The QUERTY keyboard is small, but way better than a touch screen, however, there is almost no sense of feedback, so you still have to be careful.
Phone-wise, it sounds very good to me, and gets signal where Iphone couldn't. It has a bounty of software, including To-Do and various versions of OFFICE. 3G internet access is pretty fast, nothing compared to a good laptop on a DSL, but usable.
I like that it is very easy to change ringers, from silent to normal to vibrate. The camera is just ok, but I don't really count on my phone to serve as my photographic equipment.
It's a little chunky, but its other dimensions are quite small.
All in all, I haven't seen a phone out there without a touch screen which is better. The ATT tilt is way bigger and heavier, and has no mechanical buttons for dialing.
I think most people would enjoy this phone. It does not sync with a Mac, by the way, unless you buy 3rd party software. Aside from that, it's a winner for me.

Summary: Pantech C810 Duo Smartphone
Comment: I purchased the Pantech C810 Duo several weeks ago. My observations are:
1) Small and compact considering all the features and full QWERTY keyboard.
2) Reception is good and internet is fast.
3) I've read other reviews that said the phone seemed "flimsy", but I do not experience this. It could be because this phone is made mostly of plastic compared to other metal phones.
4) It is convenient that it is GPS capable, however, I feel ripped off paying $10 a month for GPS when other GPS units (Garmin, TomTom, Magellan, etc.) are free.
5) Battery life appears good. I recharge about every other day, but that's with heavy texting and internet usage.
6) Picture quality is quite good, however, I haven't played with the video yet. Personally, I find it very difficult to watch video on such tiny screens when I'm used to my 60" at home.
7) Music quality is as good as any other product I have ever used.
8) If you plan to use Excel and Word, you can definitely do it with this device, but it will definitely get some getting used to. There's nothing I need to do in Excel or Word that I can't wait until I get back to my PC to do.
9) Amazing amount of phone and features for the price.
In summary, this is a great phone and can do a lot of features. I would be ecstatic if they could implement a "Garmin" type of GPS so I wouldn't have to pay so much for GPS from ATT. It's outrageous that ATT charges a separate GPS fee in addition to their media package fee.
