Pantech has announced that the 'Pocket' (Model name: P9060), an Android smartphone with a 4:3 aspect ratio of a 4-inch Super LCD, will be released on the U.S market through the U.S carrier, AT&T. Pocket is noticeably wider than any other Android phones, with its 4-inch 800-by-600 screen. The other existing 4-inch smart phones have a WVGA (800x480) resolution. Pocket's wide SVGA (800x600) display translates into a better viewing experience when looking at your web browser, e-mail or text messages in portrait mode.

PC Magazine have published a review of the Pantech Crossover (AT&T) handset. 'The Pantech Crossover measures 4.5 by 2.3 by 0.6 inches (HWD) and weighs 5.2 ounces. Recent Pantech handsets are solidly constructed, and the Crossover is no exception. The chunky, dark grey plastic body feels good to hold. The cut edges lend some distinction to what could have been yet another indistinguishable touch-screen slider. Most manufacturers go to great lengths to hide screw heads, but I liked the two exposed ones on the back. The 3.1-inch display is a little cramped, but it gets the job done. Its 320-by-480-pixel resolution is standard for midrange Android devices, and the glass capacitive screen looked bright and vibrant. Touch response was a problem, though; the device missed many of my button presses and finger swipes.'

A review of the Pantech Jest (Verizon Wireless) messaging phone has been posted over at PC Magazine.' 'The Jest measures 3.7 by 2.5 by 0.6 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.1 ounces. It's made entirely of high-impact plastic, with a fingerprint-attracting glossy finish on the front, and a textured, matte back panel. Like other recent Pantech devices, the Jest feels well made, like it could survive a few good knocks over the course of its life. The vibrant 2.6-inch screen sports a sharp 320-by-320-pixel resolution, which led to crisp fonts and smooth lines.'

A review of the Pantech Link (AT&T) messaging phone has been posted over at MobileTechReview. 'The Pantech Link looks similar look to the Nokia E71x, minus the metal casing. The Pantech Link is slim measuring 4.5 x 2.4 x 0.39 inches and it's light at 3.2 ounces. The phone has a textured plastic back that feels good in hand. The Pantech has a 2.4" display that's 320 x 240 QVGA resolution. The screen isn't a touch screen, but it's visible even in sunlight. The plastic display is easily scratched. Below the display the phone has large buttons and a comfortable D-pad. The shoulder keys along with speaker launcher and back button sit above the long call send and call end buttons. The circular d-pad works smoothly when navigating menus and in applications as well as in games.'

The Phone Blog have published a review of the Pantech Breeze II handset. 'Physically, it's a regular clamshell handset with a slim and trim profile. Subtle curves and a dimpled back make it feel good in the hand. It comes with two displays - a 1.38-inch outside and a 2.22-inch screen inside. Both offer sufficiently sharp and clear images. The keypad has good spacing, but are set a little too deep set into the phone, so older users might be prone to making mistakes while typing. Like the original Breeze, it has three quick call keys that you can use to speed dial emergency contacts.'

The Gadgeteer have published a review of the Pantech Link messaging phone. 'The face of the Link has a rather sophisticated black color scheme, with dark metallic accents and white and blue on the keys. It has the metallic bezel made popular by the iPhone, this one in a darkened metal finish. The display is quite nice, with good color and resolution. The input array consists of a six dedicated keys, a rocker disk with center button and the full QWERTY keyboard. When the rocker disk is used, a ring around it glows blue-a nice touch. All have a nice feel and provide a soft click for tactile feedback. The keys are all hard, not soft, similar to the BlackBerry Curve, but a bit more compact together, yet not unusable.'

PC Magazine have published a review of the Pantech Reveal (AT&T) messaging phone. 'The all-plastic Reveal measures 3.9 by 2.4 by 0.6 inches (HWD) and weighs 4 ounces. The phone is short and squat, but not as short and squat as the Motorola Karma QA1. It initially looks like a candybar-style phone with a numeric keypad, but then you slide half of it down to reveal (get it?) the QWERTY keys. The slider mechanism felt smooth and solid. The Reveal's numeric keys are large and suitably clicky. But the circular five-way control pad frustrated with its raised center button, which was tricky to press without also pressing one of the directions.
