Here’s the verdict from MobileBurn:

There is no mistaking that the Pantech C810 Duo for AT&T is a good device. It offers a lot of good functionality, like HSDPA data and top-notch voice control, in a cleverly designed package. While the QWERTY keyboard suffers from a few design compromises, it is still very useful to have included. On the down side, the camera in the Duo is a massive disappointment, and the Duo’s main menu seems especially disorganized.
