The product was well close to what I wanted. Great phone! Underneath the display are touch-sensitive keys for the Send, Clear, and End keys. We generally prefer physical keys when it comes to these oft-used buttons, especially since there's a danger of accidentally making or ending a call. If you hold down the multitasking key, you'll be presented with a pop-up box of open applications plus a task manager.
The camera lens is on the back. The sliding mechanism feels smooth and locks securely into place. The keyboard seems deceptively diminutive at first glance, but it's actually quite spacious thanks to the large keys.
The keys are distinctly delineated from each other, and the raised bubblelike feel of the keys make it easy to quickly type out a message. Indeed, the keyboard on the Pursuit is possibly one of our favorites of the year. Features The Pantech Pursuit has a entry phone book with room in each entry for six numbers, three e-mail addresses, a company name, a messenger user name, a Web address, three street addresses, a birthdate, an anniversary date, and a note.
You can also add a photo for caller ID, assign a contact to a caller group, configure a speed-dial number, and pair him or her with a custom ringtone--you have eight default ringtones and eight alert tones to choose from. Basic features include vibrate mode, a speakerphone, an alarm clock, a calendar, a world clock, a calculator, a tip calculator, a unit converter, a stopwatch, and a timer.
As we hinted above, the Pursuit also has the ability to multitask among open apps. However, you can have only up to three open apps at any one time. As with the Pantech Link , the Pursuit is blessed with the att. You can indeed view full HTML pages with the browser, but the small screen size does mean you won't get a true Web experience. You can read more about this browser in our review of the Pantech Reveal. There's a 10MB file size cap as well. If you're a Facebook or MySpace fan, however, you might want to opt for the dedicated apps for those two services also available on the Pursuit.
The Pursuit is billed as a messaging phone, so you'll get the whole range of messaging features like text and multimedia messaging, instant messaging, and mobile e-mail. To get mobile e-mail, you need to launch a Web-connected app, and after that you can configure it to get email from several web mail providers like Yahoo and Windows Live, in addition to your own POP or IMAP servers.
When we reviewed the Pantech Pursuit last year, we were particularly taken by the phone's fun and smart design. It even had a unique "shake" control that you could map to a variety of different functions. With its basic messaging phone features, the Pursuit was certainly no replacement for a smartphone, but for young kids or just those who prefer a simpler handset, the Pursuit was a cute and affordable option.
That is perhaps why we're rather disappointed with its sequel, the Pantech Pursuit II. Gone is the shake control, and gone is the handset's playful and fun aesthetic. It's not at all unattractive; it just doesn't seem as distinctive as its predecessor. Moreover, we preferred the horizontal keyboard on the original, and the features of the Pursuit II are largely the same as before. Design While the Pantech Pursuit charmed its way into our hearts with its toylike look, the Pursuit II has a design that is a touch more generic.
Indeed, we can't help but feel we've seen phones much like this before--the LG Remarq and the Samsung Strive come to mind. Still, that doesn't mean it's a bad design. There's a slight textured area on the front bezel, presumably for extra grip when sliding the phone open and closed. The Pursuit II has the same display as the original--a 2.
Oddly, however, we didn't find it as crisp as before; images and text just don't look as sharp and smooth as we expected. Still, this is a relatively minor quibble for a phone in this category. For a simple messaging phone like this, the display works well enough. You can adjust the appearance of the home screen, the lock screen, and the menu theme, choose from seven different font styles, and adjust the brightness and the backlight timer.
It comes with three different home screens, two of which are customizable. One is for your application shortcuts and favorites, and the other is for your favorite contacts.
The main home screen with the time and date is not customizable. It's fairly easy to add these shortcuts; simply tap the Add button and select one from the list. You can add quite a number of shortcuts to the application screen as you're not limited to the size of the display. PhoneArena Score Review. User Score User reviews. Released Jul 17, Display 2.
