Pantech Breakout (Verizon Wireless)

Pros: 2.3 Android OS, 4G phone, video chat capable, price.

Cons: short battery life, small amounts of lag after closing cpu intensive programs.

Summary: Overall this is a very good, basic 4g phone. While it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of more expensive phones, would you expect it to for the price? It has a 5 MP camera that takes good pictures and HD video, as well as a forward facing camera that allows you to video chat with apps like Skype, Tango, or Qik. The audio quality is good overall and the screen images are crisp and bright. The placement of the buttons on the phone is fairly standard and the camera button is quite intuitive (if you orient the phone like a standard camera the button is on the upper right corner, where you would expect to find it). The touch screen is responsive, but lag is noticeable when a cpu intensive program is "closed". I have had the phone for about a month now and the only thing that really bothers me is the short battery life. A few videos and this thing tanks pretty quick. Overall, however, I have been very pleased with the phone and its features.
