dud August 4, 2008
had the pantech duo for 4 months, broke down, ATT replaced with a refurbished one. No battery life, poor photos, and phone akward to use. Bought 2 ATT Tilt for sons at the same time , much better phone. No problems with Tilt a sturdier phone with better features.
 Smartphone - best yet! (non-touch) July 25, 2008
First, I'm amazed at all the non sequitur comments, i.e. I bought mine on ebay and can't get warranty replacements from AT&T. DUH! Or that the battery life doesn't last as long as my pocket watch. If you're going to have a cellphone for at least a year, then do your homework and look at the mfg. specs. Check the review sites, compare, know what you're getting. If the device doesn't live-up to those expectations, then complain at will. And as one comment mentioned, there are third-party software packages that can improve the experience - thank you Handango :)
Now about the Pantech C810 duo... I don't have one... BUT I have to support several people that do use them. And they love them! Realize that this device is a Windows Mobile smartphone, hence a PDA with calling capability. Yes, batteries are short-lived, but compared to the TILT/TyTN/etc it's probably longer on average. If it locks-up, maybe you didn't close applications and left a bunch of them running in the background (which will bring any device to its knees). I have several users who need access to corporate email / calendar / contacts, but don't want the hassle of blackberries. And they don't care a lot about internet - just enough to check the headlines and weather forecast now and then. So ditching the touchscreen was not a total loss. Besides, those were the same people who hated the on-screen dialpad and wanted a fast (traditional) dialing method. That is the biggest advantage of this device, compared to other smartphones. (And who likes the miniscule buttons on the MotoQ / Blackjack / Palms anyway?) I've had two replacements - one for call stability and another for a poor speaker (distortion, low volume), but in both cases I had the replacement in hand the very next day.
You will not find a better smartphone in such an efficient package anywhere. And if you hate on-screen dialing, but have to have email access & qwerty keyboard, then look no further. So charge the phone when you sleep at night and be happy!
pantech duo June 25, 2008
The size and keyboard is great. The slide out feature is great. The sound quality is not very good but comes through better when using a hands free device. The picture quality is also not very good. I would only buy again if there was no comparable AT&T product which had the same features because the sound quality thing is a big hurdle to jump....Also I have not been able to get mine to pair with the Jabra SP5050 bluetooth speakerphone....which is too bad because I really like the speakerphone.
Great phone. June 16, 2008
I've been using it for weeks now and I must say, I've impressed by it. It can do everything I want it to, and everybody wants to see if when I flip it out. I recommend it whole heartedly.
 The phone part doesn't work for me! June 11, 2008
I have had this phone for 6 months now. I love the qwerty keyboard and the ability to receive my email on this phone. That function is perfect. The phone part however has only worked 5% of the time and I am beyond frustrated. When I call AT&T they have given me every excuse except exchange the phone or fixing it. If you want this phone to actually talk on it, don't buy it. Every call ends right after I dial and the phone hardly ever rings, my calls go directly to voice mail. If I do get through, the person is mumbled. I don't think the network or it being Windows based is ever in-synch. I just plain give up!
