Will you freak out if you were given a chance to own an LTE phone that only costs $99.99? Verizon Wireless is giving you the chance to own an LTE phone for such a low price starting Thursday, September 22 in the form the new Pantech Breakout!

But the catch is that, the $99.99 Pantech Breakout comes with a 2-year contract and $50 mail-in rebate. But not to worry because this new phone will work with Verizon’s LTE network that has a download speed of 5 Mbps to 12 Mbps and upload speed of 2 Mbps to 5 Mbps.

I thought Pantech was no more! It’s been a while since this handset maker made some noise that I really thought they’ve given up the fight. However, it seems I was wrong because they are about to launch their smartphone challenger, the n Vega Racer!

Pantech sure has something to be proud of in its latest offering because it will be powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. Also helping boost its power is the Qualcomm MSM8660 Snapdragon chip. Pantech also made a great decision in furnishing it with an Adreno 220 GPU and 1GB RAM.

Sometimes, looks alone can motivate a customer to buy a certain item. Pantech seems to capitalize on this as it produces the IM-R470S handset under the Sky brand. The phone itself has a streamlined appearance – all sleek and shiny-looking. It features a huge 3.2-inch touchscreen.

However, it’s not only the case and the design that’s going to make the Pantech’s IM-R470S sell. Its intuitive User Interface will. Called the TruEmotion UI, this new feature of the handset is responsive and dynamic. It creates three-dimensional effects that will surely feed the eyes. You have to check out the phone to see the UI in full action. It has the so-called Easy Access feature that provides easy access to the phone menu. It also has Dynamic Emotion for switching to different screen effects.

Are you by any chance looking for a replacement to your malfunctioning handset? You could include this latest Pantech C610 among your choices. This entry-level phone is now available at AT&T. It is a cute phone if you ask me. I especially like the main red color with silver highlights. It also comes in the clamshell design that I like. When you flip it open you’ll see the inviting, full-colored display. Aside from its attractive façade, the Pantech C610 also hosts a number of advanced features. It supports 3G/HSDPA for people who want to stay connected to the internet while on the go. It also includes a 1.3-megapixel camera and camcorder, stereo Bluetooth, music player, AGPS and a microSD card slot.

No one can deny that communication devices especially cellphones are very useful tools nowadays. You can send text messages and receive calls anytime and anywhere. For receiving calls one needs to have good ears, so that puts people with hearing problems at a big disadvantage. To rectify this need Pantech has created a handset that will cater to the needs of the hearing impaired. Pantech’s A1407PT is their newly developed phone that’s made in a clamshell design. So what makes this suited to people with hearing problems? Pantech has integrated a bone conducting technology in the phone that send out sound waves to the inner ear. It’s not actually sound that goes straight to the user’s ear but vibration.

U.S. based Pantech Wireless Inc., has released another goody cell phone to the market, actually its another enhanced phone, the Pantech C3b that’s included in the company’s line up of smallest flip-phone.

Through this camera, user will be able to obtain up to 9 pictures all by just pressing the necessary button in just one time.
