The Verizon Pantech PN-215 is
Pantech's second submission into the US cell market. For those people who
haven't even heard of Pantech they are the leading Cell phone manufacturer in
Korea and most importantly developing the world's first CDMA cell phone. If you
think you have never seen a Pantech phone, look closely at the old
Audiovox/UTstartcom flip phones, those were all made by Pantech..
Now the Verizon Pantech PN-215 was introduced to the Verizon
Wireless CDMA network and with that comes all the pros and cons. The phone does
not come with a data
cable or Bluetooth so transferring items to your Verizon PN-215 phone is
pretty limited. Rumors are saying that the Audiovox 8910 cable works but the
transferring of pictures or ring tones is denied. Both QPST and BitPim have been
tried (if anyone knows how, feel free to shoot me a message). Sending music
through an email attachment does seem to work so you can't use it for
ringers.
This Verizon Pantech PN-215 phone comes with a VGA camera,
flash, voice dialing, speakerphone and a great extendable
antenna. A great well rounded phone perfect for basic cell phone usage. The
internal screen is great and I wish the external screen was color LCD but that's
just me. The menus are intuitive and there are a multitude of buttons with built
in shortcuts. Verizon PN 215 has a great little camera which responds very
quickly for those who are a bit camera happy and take pictures of anything that
does or doesn't move.
The Verizon PN-215 is almost exactly like the Audiovox 8915 just
lighter and a bit smaller. The faceplate is easily changeable with a
mini-philips (take the top 2 stoppers out and the bottom long one). There are
extended batteries available increasing talk time almost 100%, but try to find
one on eBay or your going to get gouged by Verizon. The 2.5 jack is at the top
of the phone instead of the side which gives that extra inch that's always
missing. For those of you who need an external antenna
call up Wilson tech support, their website shows pending so they probably
have one out now.
The OEM
holster looks like you can open Pantech PN-215 phone while it's attached
which is a great feature. There is also a decent selection of cases to protect
your Verizon PN-215 phone. Car chargers are
also available too. If you want to customize your Verizon PN-215 phone even more
flashing
antennas can give your Pantech PN-215 phone that uniqueness that you
crave.
