>> I'm Nicole Lee, Assistant Editor for www.cnet.com and this is the Pantech Duo from AT&T. It is a Window's Mobile Smart Phone. Its design is actually very similar to the Helio Ocean. It slides up to reveal a number keypad and it slides up this way, horizontally to reveal a QWERTY keyboard. The overall construction is kind of chic [assumed spelling]. You see the front here is a dimpled border exterior which is very reminiscent of a very old school kind of design. There are other buttons on the side here. That's the dedicated camera key. That's the recorder key right here. On the other side's the volume rocker. On the back we have a 1 point 3 mega-pixel camera. As far as features go you get the -- all the typical Window's Mobile 6 functions of course. And you also get compatibility with AT&T's Broadband Services like AT&T Mobile Music. But the device itself feels really chinsey [assumed spelling]. The slider mechanism just felt really loose. And overall we think you could probably do a lot better for the price. It's just around $199.99 with a 2 year contract. My name is Nicole Lee and this has been the Pantech Duo from AT&T. ^M00:01:07 [ Music ]

Pantech Duo C810 (AT&T) Review
The good: The Pantech Duo has a unique dual-slider design with a slide-out number dialpad plus a QWERTY keyboard. It comes with the Windows Mobile 6 OS as well as a 1.3-megapixel camera, quad-band support, HSDPA, plus access to AT&T's broadband services.
The bad: The Pantech Duo has a cheap plastic body with a flimsy sliding mechanism. The QWERTY keyboard felt flush to the surface and was tricky to use
The bottom line: Even though the Pantech Duo has an impressive feature set that include 3G/HSDPA support, we were ultimately disappointed with its subpar design.
