Pantech Wireless announced the availability of Pocket, the company’s second
Android smartphone for AT&T, on November 20 for $49.99.
Powered by Android 2.3, the 4G device boasts a wide SVGA touch-screen display,
designed to enhance an array of entertainment applications from browsing and
navigation, to social media and watching videos.
Pocket’s oversized display features a spacious virtual keyboard, furthering
Pantech’s commitment to creating top-tier messaging devices at competitive
prices. Pocket will be one of the key handsets promoted during the three winter
stops on the 2011-2012 Dew Tour, a coast-to-coast action sports tour of which
Pantech is a title sponsor.
Ideal for multimedia, e-reading, gaming and entertainment, Pocket has a
durable, one-handed design complemented by beveled edges and a textured back.
Its unique, wide screen boasts a 4:3 aspect ratio, which offers approximately
20 percent more viewing area than most other 4-inch display handsets.
Pocket features a customized Android OS, sporting a lock screen displaying a
wheel surrounded by apps that are immediately activated when dragged into its
center. In response to users’ widespread and growing desire to read books on
their handsets, Pocket also is pre-loaded with Kindle by Amazon and Google
Books.
“Pocket immediately stands out from the crowd of black glass handsets currently
on shelves, while exceeding our customers’ entertainment and social media
expectations,” said Wyatt Whaley, vice president of Product Planning for
Pantech Wireless.
Recently, Pantech Wireless, announced that Link II is available to AT&T customers in the US.
One of the thinnest handsets on the
carrier’s successful roster of Quick Messaging Phones, Link II picks up where
the previous version left off. Link II combines a contemporary form factor and
large keyboard with an upgraded BREW Mobile Platform to deliver a smooth user
experience. The phone is available for $9.99.
