Pantech G300

There's a mobile phone out there to suit everyone's needs. There's a basic phone for ultra-budget users, phones with music players for people who travel frequently, smart phones for the tycoons who need a lot more than just a communication tool. With the G300, Pantech has introduced a phone that should appeal to the fairer sex.

Now reviewing a phone like this for a guy can be pretty tricky, and I'm quite certain every word I say will be scrutinized. So to make sure my opinions are not too "testosterone driven" and that I don't do injustice to this model just because it's not meant to appeal to me, I took opinions of some of my women coworkers. With that out of the way, let's see what's inside the package.

Package and Looks
On opening the box you will find the main mobile unit, two 680mAh Li-Ion batteries, a mobile charger, data cable, mono headset for hands-free calls, a mini software CD, and a thick manual.

Aimed at the female market, the G300 sports a glossy metal-finished wine-red color with silver edges, giving it an overall classy look. It's quite small in size at 76 x 40 x 23.5 mm (weighing 90 g), and would easily fit even in small hands. The top of the clamshell sports a diamond that lights up in seven different colors and a monochrome LCD display with white backlight.

The LCD on the inside, however, looks crisp within its 260,000-color TFT display. The 128 x 128 pixel resolution ensures that even in its small size, visibility will never be a problem. The brightness level of the screen is also just right with perfect visibility even with bright overhead sunlight.

The keypad is as usual present on the lower inner part of the phone. The keys are soft and extremely easy to use. The numeric keys are perfectly sized and spaced for convenience during single handed as well as double handed operation.
