Verizon to add two more on the low end

by Chris Ziegler, posted Nov 12th 2006 at 3:10PM

Pantech PN-310 not doing anything for you? It looks like Verizon's got a couple more in the pipeline (including yet another from Pantech) that might be more to your liking. First up is the Pantech PN-300 (pictured above), an ultra basic, cameraless clamshell whose only real claim to fame might be that it's just a little easier to look at -- in our humblest of opinions -- than the PN-310. Next up is the Kyocera K323 (pictured after the break), a phone we've known about for a while that takes one small step up the food chain from the PN-300 by adding a VGA cam, Bluetooth, and an internal antenna. Our sources tell us the PN-300's launch is imminent, while we still might be in for a little wait on the K323. Believe us, we're not getting too worked up about it.

I'm glad low-end phones, alot of them, have cameras now.

There should be more camera-less phones with Bluetooth.

(and there should be more camra-less phones with Bluetooth and high-speed data connections)

Did anyone else notice that there's no VZ UI on these? Well, at least it looks more Audiovoxish on the Pantech...

I think Verizon is vaguely aware of all the bitching about their UI (although I hear practically NO complaints from customers myself) and the newer phones are all allowing you to have some customizing control over the layout and style of the UI... thank God. I think the original UI is actually easy to learn (if you are unfamiliar with it) and overall quite user friendly, but it is also ugly to look at on a regular basis.
