I love Windows Mobile, but I think the OS might be a little complicated for its target audience. I mean, from the form factor, I'm guessin' this is aimed at tweens. If you look at popular tween devices--the enV, the V, the Sidekick line--you see they have simple OS's with QWERTY keypads. I wonder if Windows will beneficially or deleteriously affect the phone's performance. But, then again, it may not, the Dash has been very successful in this age group. Only time will tell.

Also, if this beast is sportin' WM6, you think they'll finally launch the updates for the phones to be updated, by then?]]>Aug 28th 2007 3:26PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/Aug 28th 2007 3:53PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/Aug 28th 2007 4:32PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/Aug 28th 2007 5:03PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/Aug 28th 2007 6:09PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/Aug 28th 2007 9:31PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/Aug 28th 2007 10:06PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/Aug 28th 2007 10:43PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/Aug 30th 2007 11:08AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-atandts-homage-to-the-helio-ocean/
I was using a Cingular 3125, by HTC, which has completely disintegrated :( and this phone blows it out of the water. I had also used a Cingular 8125 (by HTC) for a while, but it was really a BRICK, just too big to carry around. The Pantech C810 is the same size as my Cingular 3125 closed, (the 3125 is very similar in size to a Motorola Razr) but I get the QWRTY key board that I lost when I downsized from the 8125.

The 3G data in it is much faster than GPRS or EDGE; I downloaded several megs worth of email in just a couple of minutes. On the 3125, I would have started the process and walked away for it to complete.

I liked Windows Mobile already, so the new version 6 is a plus for me, the interface is a little different so I am not sure if there is a professional or standard or how to tell. I did notice in a menu there is a windows update option, but under risk of a beating, I could not make any changes to the phone. (I will wipe the email)

When this hits retail, and it is not online yet, I want to buy one!!!
