AT&T has recently added the Pantech Reveal C790, a compact slider featuring both a numeric keypad and a QWERTY keyboard, to its lineup of messaging-friendly phones. As a 3G capable device, the Reveal supports access to AT&T’s array of broadband services, along with a full HTML browser, instant messaging, GPS, stereo Bluetooth and some preloaded applications.Different from most side-slider messaging phones, the Pantech Reveal has a standard numeric keypad on the front, and glides up to uncover a full keyboard underneath. Both of them remain active at the same time, giving you quick access to both numbers and letters when messaging. The 2.2-inch LCD display above the keypad shows 320 x 240 pixels and 260K colors. It measures 3.9 by 2.35 by 0.58 inches and weighs 3.95 ounces.
Frequent texters will be pleased to find a wide range of messaging options on the Reveal. In addition to text, picture and video messaging, the phone offers access to instant messaging clients including AIM, Windows Live and Yahoo Messenger. Mobile email allows you to get emails from Yahoo, AOL, AIM, Windows Live, AT&T Yahoo and BellSouth accounts.
The Reveal sports with AT&T’s new HTML mobile browser based on Opera. Not only can you enjoy fast Internet surfing, you can also add bookmarks, perform location-aware searches and get the latest news headlines of sports, entertainment, finance and more.
Other than the browser, AT&T’s broad selection of multimedia services are onboard. It comes with AT&T Celluar Video for streaming video contents and AT&T Video Share calling for sharing pictures and video clips. You can purchase and download music from Napster Mobile and eMusic. The built-in media player supports a variety of audio files like MP3, AAC, AAC+ and WAV formats.
You will find a number of preloaded applications like AT&T Navigator for voice-guided turn-by-turn directions, Mobile Banking and My-Cast Weather. Its 256MB internal memory storage can be expanded by a microSD memory card up to 16GB. Other essentials include a 1.3-megapixel camera with 4x zoom, an address book with 1,000 contacts, speaker-independent voice commands, speakerphone and USB mass storage.
To sum up, the Pantech Reveal C790 is a well-designed, easy-to-use and compact phone. It is recommended for those who are looking for an inexpensive handset from a major carrier for quick and easy messaging.
