We're all going to have to grow fingernails to push the buttons if they get any smaller soon!

No kidding! All thumbs up on this one. I have this phone and I love it! There are so many things this phone can do that (after 6 months) I'm still finding out about all of them. Not only does this little guy have excellent sound and connection (thanks AT&T) but the camera is outrageous. Photo quality is amazing, and taking the photo is completely silent unless you choose a sound for it. Everyone comments about the photo quality, and when I send photos no one ever asks me how I took the pic. As phone cameras go, the pics are never as good as you want. Not true for this one!!!!

Just implant chips into our ears. Sometimes smaller does not mean better. These things are too small for adults. I can barely type on my normal sized blackjack smartphone.

Just implant the damn thing in my forearm already. When the US upgrades to newer wireless technology then we can really get "plugged in"....until then it's just a waste of money to buy some of these hi-tech gadgets.

At this rate, the cell phones will reside inside the wrist watch and we need only the bluetooth ear piece to speak - how wonderful people.

"At this rate, the cell phones will reside inside the wrist watch and we need only the bluetooth ear piece to speak - how wonderful people. "

This would be nice. But if you are in a rush there is a new watch out there that is bluetooth and sports a caller ID. You can actually check your watch whenyour phone rings and choose to silence it or reject the call right on the watch. I need to get myself one of these...

How do these tech companies get so rich? They are losing major dollars with Senior Citizens. I've been looking for months for a decent cell phone company...(not jitterbug...plan is useless) for my mom. No gadgets, easy to use, and see.... There is absolutely NOTHING OUT THERE that easy to use and uncomplicated.

I wish they'd just make a phone a "Phone" give me one the size of a hearing aid that will dial the number of the person's name I programed into it. Forget all the extra crap, it's a PHONE!

I've seen that Pantech phone on offer at ATT and rejected it out of hand because it doesn't LOOK like a serious phone. It looks like a toy of some sort. It's the wrong shape, the wrong size, and the antenna looks like a tacked-on afterthought. ATT's price -basically free- didn't inspire any confidence either.

But apparently looks are deceiving. Thanks for the review. I will totally reconsider this phone.

The phone companies just do not listen. People want a simple phone that is simple to operate and program. Only teenagers want a camera, radio, MP3 Player, ICQ, video games and text messaging. The company that finally listens and makes a simple, working phone, will grab a huge chunk of the adult market.

Things that irk me the most:
When journalists do not follow grammar conventions:

Case in Point using A FM radio when it should be AN fm radio, AN Mp3 player ... A voice recorder is correct... Journalists should KNOW these things right?>

Actually, "A FM radio" is correct, even though it may sound wrong when you read it out loud. If you expand FM into "frequency modulation", it sounds (and is) correct.

You know, I bought my first cellphone (and a real first generation analog cellular technology phone) back in the mid-80's. Use 'em for 15 years, last being the famous Nokia 6000 series. But progressively got turned off by the excessive complicated and useless designs catered to the young and foolish with endless amount of parents' money to burn. 3 years ago, after failing to find a phone with sensible features, better menu navigation, and text sizes that's easier to read, I canceled my cellphone subscription entirely. Damn if I'm gonna follow the the nonsense of the throw-away fashion gadgets. Never been happier.

Amen to all those comments about useless bells and whistles! Let a phone be a phone! Most of the supernumerary features are compromised anyhow...

Dear John Shue.

I am afraid you are wrong. Please take a look below:

Remember, using a or an depends on the sound that begins the next word. So...

a + singular noun beginning with a consonant: a boy; a car; a bike; a zoo; a dog

an + singular noun beginning with a vowel: an elephant; an egg; an apple; an idiot; an orphan

a + singular noun beginning with a consonant sound: a user (sounds like 'yoo-zer,' i.e. begins with a consonant 'y' sound, so 'a' is used); a university; a unicycle

There are phones out there that are simply phones. You won't find them in the news though becuase they aren't the "money-makers". You certainly won't find them being pushed on you with a plan by your carrier either. That's why I perfer to get the "free" phone from my GSM carrier, and then buy an unlocked actual phone from Amazon or any of the other sources.

Reading all of these comments are very entertaining, and thanks for the grammer lesson(s). For myself (gee I hope my grammer is correct), I, too, just want a "simple to use" phone. Period! Cost is not an issue; rather, good reception, a strong vibrator, and no dropped calls. Also, i remember having a phone that vibrated 4 times, then started ringing. I miss that feature!

To those of you complaining about the lack of "simple" phones, I ask you: Why are you even here reading about technically advanced phones? Quite simply, you are in the wrong place. This is a place that reviews cutting edge devices.

Also, you need to keep in mind that these companies are in business for one thing only - to make money. That means selling top of the line phones to young people. The fact is, more young people have phones than older adults, and they want the gizmos.

You can go to any carrier (at&t, verizon, sprint, etc) and get a FREE phone if you sign up for their service and it won't have all the bells and whistles of the phones that are truly profitable. If it has features you don't want, like a camera or mp3 player, then DON'T USE THOSE FEATURES. It's really that easy. sheesh. Please, use a little common sense. I can't believe people are complaining because something they can get for FREE has extra features on it. You get more for less and you're upset about it. Truly, that boggles the mind. As far as easy to use, I have never seen a cell phone that your every day idiot couldn't use by typing in a number and pressing send. While I acknowledge that there are some very dumb people out there, it doesn't get any easier than that and if that is too hard, then I'm sorry, you should continue to use pay phones.
