definitely all over the place with the icons.
Should have followed the ‘Apps’ icon for the rest IMO.

Pantech will release this phone at some point and we will all dismiss it as nothing special. Because it won’t be anything special. However, if they were to release this phone with vanilla Android OS they could instantly gain serious credibility (as long as the hardware didn’t crap out) and take a huge leap forward. Are these manufacturers not allowed to release a vanilla Android? Are they being forced to put their own stupid skin on it? When will they learn it compromises stability and delays updates?

No hardware buttons = more room for screen

As a graphic designer it just blos my mind how ugly this is. How do any of the icons relate to the others. Look at the phone icon for example. Why is it a circle? The whole thing looks ugly. Also the Soft Keys look like motoblur.

I love how most phones shown off at CES have soft keys!

Very Powerful and Pantech do not belong in the same article.

If you want a cheap device, they are perhaps better than some other brands like Huwaiai (or however you spell it), but that is all they are…cheap.

I used to cringe every time a customer wanted to “buy” a Pantech. (I say “buy”, because nearly every Pantech device was actually free after rebate). I even stopped offering the Breakout because it was such a horrible piece of equipment. The Marauder was an improvement, but was still about as low end as you could get.

I’m hoping they step things up. They could do well if they keep this up.

I still fail to understand why people want on screen keys?
I love having dedicated, always there, never taking up any screen space S3 hard keys.

I know, right? Is it part of the whole wallpaper or does it just over-lay whatever picture you use. It’ll show up in the wild soon — just like that 3 ring clock thing that Moto did before they released their phone.

I don’t know if I could trust Pantech to make a high end device. Their low end devices have always been garbage for me.
