What Customers Say About Pantech C810 Duo Smartphone (AT&T):

When I bought this phone I read all the reviews and decided that I would give it a shot even though people complained of the voice quality. The duo was really slick for texting and I loved windows mobile, but trying to have a conversation on the phone was frustrating and pointless. I figured I will text most of the time anyways, so I can deal with a little bit of diminished voice clarity. Two days after I bought the phone, I was back at AT&T exchanging it for a blackberry pearl which I love. If you are solely a texting person this phone is great for that, but even occasional phone conversations will soon drive you crazy. Best of luck.

and not being able to ever turn back on. My husbands phone is working fine. We bought 3 of these phones. However, now it takes 2 days to download picture messages. this is only after 4 months of having the phone. it was never dropped. the phone freezes up on me.

I wouldn't trust being the 33% person. We've only had the phones for 4 months, and I've already had to replace my daughters phone twice for just shutting down. But given the 2 out of 3 ratio of the same phones not working. When I first got my phone receiving text and picture messages was really fast. and when I try and retrieve a normal text message. And, of course. I'm sure its just a matter of a month or so, before we'll have to replace his too.

I hesitated due to poor reviews I had read, but when I lost my 2125 again I upgraded. I have had a great time with the phone. got it about a month ago. It has really surpassed my expectations. Looking forward to the 6.1 update.

The phone is very stylish and wows spectaters who have never seen the phone before. But for you, your battery will be dead by the end of the day and good luck typing text messages if you have large fingers. The Duo is very enjoyable to use and the features matches the average person's needs. However, some phone technicians say that this phone gives them more trouble than all the rest.

Then they tried to justify it by saying that it has a very large LCD screen. I had it for 6 weeks when the LCD screen cracked, while the phone was in my pocket at work all day. This phone really does suck. But as far as I know it's not any larger than the iPhone or Sidekick. When I contacted Pantech they basically had the attitude of oh well that's too bad. The guy on the phone actually told me that I must have dropped it or something even though I swore that I hadn't. Anyway the repairs for the phone came to $100. That's more than I paid for the phone so I decided not to repair it but instead just buy another phone- hopefully one that's not as fragile as the pantech duo.
