Video Tour: Pantech Reveal

Oct 22, 2009, 1:02 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Phone Scoop goes hands-on with the new dual-keyboard messaging phone from Pantech. This device gets solid ratings for fit and finish, but the keyboard didn't set us on fire.

Here is a video tour of the new Pantech Reveal for AT&T. This compact slider features both a full 12-key numeric keypad and full QWERTY keyboard for messaging. It feels compact and well built. It runs 3G and can access most of AT&T's services. Is anything holding it back? You can watch the video here:
