CNET Editors' Review
The good: The Verizon Wireless PN-210 (Pantech PN-210) is a compact, basic phone with text messaging, voice recording, and a speakerphone. It has great call quality as well.
The bad: The PN-210 has a small internal display and no external display. It doesn't come with a Web browser, so personalization options are limited.
The bottom line: The PN-210 is a no-frills phone with great call quality, perfect for those who want a cheap phone just to make calls.
The internal screen measures a dinky 1.5-inches diagonally and is rather lackluster with only 65,000-color support. You can adjust the backlight time, the contrast, and the font size. Yet because the size of the screen is so small, we had to scroll through the menu options more than we're normally used to. On the other hand, because the PN-210 doesn't have too many functions to begin with, we didn't mind scrolling too much. Under the display are the navigation controls that consist of two soft keys, a four-way toggle that doubles as four user-defined shortcuts, a middle OK button, the talk and end/power key, and a clear button that doubles as a speakerphone control. The dial pad was raised enough above the surface so the keys felt tactile and easy to dial by feel.
