Pantech Pursuit (AT&T)

Despite the growing trend of smartphones in the country, AT&T has maintained its commitment to the messaging handset market, claiming that there's a huge market for so-called "smartphone lite" devices. As part of this, AT&T has launched a number of what it calls "quick messaging phones," one of which is the Pantech Pursuit. It's Pantech's first-ever touch-screen phone with a sliding keyboard, and we have to say, we're impressed. Despite its toylike appearance, the Pursuit is quite sleek, with unique features like shake and gesture controls in addition to a solid set of multimedia offerings. The Pursuit is available for a very affordable $49.99 with a two-year service agreement, and we think it would make a great phone for a teenager or young adult.
DesignAt first glance, the Pantech Pursuit looks a little bit like a Fisher-Price toy, or perhaps a grown-up version of the LG MiGo. Indeed, measuring 3.6 inches long by 2.5 inches wide by 0.6 inch thick, the Pursuit has an adorably chubby and compact design. Yet, the textured casing on the front bezel and the back cover makes the Pursuit feel a tad more grown up than that. It also feels nice and sturdy in the hand. The front surface is very reflective and shiny, so much so that you can use it as a mirror when the phone is on standby.
