Review: Pantech Breakout for Verizon Wireless
The Pantech Breakout relies heavily on the stock Android tools for managing your communication needs. It includes the stock Gmail, email, SMS/MMS, and GTalk apps. All of these applications work just as they do on other Android handsets.
The Gmail application works perfectly with the online Gmail service and is a fantastic email client. The generic email program works almost as well, and can be mated to any POP3, IMAP4, or Exchange account.
The SMS/MMS app offers threaded messaging and allows you to embed photo, video, and audio files in line with your conversations. The GTalk application works well with Google's IM service, and lets you see who's available and who isn't. The catch-all IM application from Verizon works with AIM, Windows Live, and Yahoo. It is serviceable, though it hasn't been updated in a while.
When it comes to social networking, the Pantech Breakout includes the Social Net application, which is a catch-all tool for managing Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace. It also plays nice with RSS feeds. Using this application, you can post status updates to multiple networks, check your Direct Messages and Facebook email, as well as see what your social networking friends are up to.
If you want all the features of your favorite social network, you'll have to find and download the dedicated applications to do so.
