Delivering a streamlined mobile experience, the Pantech Ease quick messaging phone for AT&T features a 3.2-inch touch-enabled display, slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, and an intuitive menu system for a straightforward user experience. It's an ideal phone for seniors with its large on-screen font size, well-spaced backlit buttons, and a Pill Reminder to alert you when to take medications. The phone defaults to an Easy Mode for a streamlined communications experience, and it can be switched to the Advanced Mode for a more traditional quick messaging user experience with a quick settings change.

The Ease comes with a number of specialized apps, including a Pedometer to track your steps (and see up to a seven-day history), a Readout mode that audibly announces callers, text message senders and reads out text message text, and Voice Mode that allows you to dictate a message instead of typing it.

Enabled for use on AT&T's lightning quick HSPDA 3G network, you'll be able to easily access the Internet as well as quickly download video, music and more. Additionally, with AT&T's 3G network, you can make a call while simultaneously receiving picture/text messages and e-mail or viewing Web pages. This GPS-enabled phone can access the AT&T Navigator service for turn-by-turn directions as well as its Video Share service, which enables you to send video of yourself to another compatible phone while making a voice call. See more details on optional AT&T services.

With the free AT&T Address Book service, you can sync your contacts to an online address book, enabling you to access and manage your mobile contacts from your handset--or your PC. From the online interface, you can import contacts from other Web-based address books, such as personal e-mail accounts, as well as send text messages to your contacts' mobile numbers.
