It seems like it would work fine for days and days and then start spitting up non-stop for awhile.
Maybe it had the flu ;o. Yes, I am aware that there is an update for the Excalibur. The HTC S Vox has a better form factor, larger display, ever-present numeric pad, good Wifi, decent camera and similar side-sliding keyboard. I might try the HTC S soon. It looks great. The processor is slower than the Duo, but the same as the S, which feels fine to me. Thank you so much for ALL of this information. I was debating on purchasing the Pantech Duo C My biggest concern was how the reception would be in my small country town.

However, it has made some inroads in the smartphone market in the past. There was the Verizon Wireless-branded PN flip phone with Windows Mobile 5, and though it wasn't exactly a full-blown smartphone, Pantech is also the manufacturer behind the much-touted Helio Ocean.
It comes loaded with features like a megapixel camera, Bluetooth, quad-band support, HSDPA-level speeds, and all the other productivity tools you would expect from a Windows Mobile device.
That said, we weren't too pleased with the phone's exterior--it looks and feels like a cheap plastic toy, and the QWERTY keyboard is poorly designed. Design The Pantech Duo gets its name from its dual-slider design, which is similar to the design of the Helio Ocean. The keypad and keyboard are on separate layers, and you can't keep both open at the same time. That's where the similarity with the Helio Ocean ends.
The Pantech Duo is much smaller than the Ocean at 4. Even so, the Pantech Duo is quite the bulky device due to its triple layers, and it doesn't fit comfortably into a pants pocket. Also, just because the Duo has an innovative dual-slider design doesn't mean we liked anything else about the phone's appearance. The Duo is saddled with a chintzy plastic shell that makes the device seem more like a kid's toy than a serious smartphone.
Not only that, but the dull gray finish is quite fingerprint prone, and the dimpled border around the screen makes the phone look like something out of the s. Thankfully, the 2. The ,color screen supports a x pixel resolution, resulting in a lovely display that's easy on the eyes. Images look clean, fonts are legible, and colors are bright. Video looks pretty good on it, too. The screen switches position from portrait mode to landscape mode when the QWERTY keyboard is slid out, for easier surfing and texting.
Do note that the display is not a touch screen, if you are concerned about that. Like all Windows Mobile 6 phones, the Duo has the Today screen as the home screen, which you can customize by changing the theme, the displayed menu items, the background image, the backlight time, as well as the font size.
There's also a dedicated Quick List key that brings up a menu of different power and sound profiles. The Quick List key doubles as a Keyguard lock.
As we mentioned, you can slide the phone up to reveal the number keypad.
