pantech_breeze_l Looking to cater to first time mobile phone users out there, AT&T and Pantech have announced the availability of the new Pantech Breeze mobile phone. The phone is designed for customers who are either novice users or first time mobile phone users who are looking for something that’s simple to use – something that’s actually getting harder and harder to find in modern handsets today.

Features of the Pantech Breeze include:

  • 1-2-3 Quick-Call Keys — Three preprogrammable quick-call buttons are located below the screen — users can easily select one of the three quick-call contacts and press the send button to start a call.
  • Simplified Menu — “Breeze menu” prioritizes the features that customers want to access most.
  • Large Font — Menu screens on the Pantech Breeze use a highly visible large font. Additionally, the font of SMS messages is enlarged and the date and time of messages sent is at the beginning rather than at the end of a message.
  • Easy-to-Use Buttons — The oversized buttons on the device respond with a tactile click when pressed, and the amount of time the keys remain illuminated after use is extended.
  • Clear and Loud Speakerphone — A large, dedicated button starts and stops speakerphone use.
  • Camera — A dedicated hard key for the camera brings up camera options “take a picture” and “photo album” to give users easy access to useable camera functions.
  • Audible Keys — An option to have audio accompany numeric keystrokes makes it easy to know which buttons have been pressed, resulting in mistake-free dialing for those with limited sight.

Specs on the Pantech Breeze are as follows:

  • Quad band world phone – 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
  • Bluetooth 2.0 support
  • Edge Class 10 support
  • Hearing aid compatible
  • 3 hours of talk time
  • 10 days of standby time
  • Measures 4.0 x 2.0 x 0.7 inches and weighs 3.4 oz

The new Pantech Breeze is available for $39.99 after a two year agreement and a $30 dollar mail-in rebate or $124.99 after a $30 dollar mail-in rebate for customers who opt for AT&T’s Pick Your Plan or Pay As You Go GoPhone.
