A social centric phone flaunting a slide-out keypad is what the freshly disclosed AT&T Pantech Swift is all about. It should make for a fair deal, going by its decent features list coupled with an affordable price tag.
The front panel of the device in question is fitted with a 2.8-inch capacitive display, while a full slider keypad glides out from beneath its screen. It operates on the Brew Mobile platform that offers capabilities to personalize the handset by arranging widgets on its 3 optional homescreens. In terms of what it’s mainly been built for, the device provides one-step access to tools like Facebook, YP Mobile, Twitter, games, AT&T Navigator and others.
“Swift is a dynamic addition to AT&T and Pantech’s Quick Messaging Phone lineup. Swift gives our consumers all the great advanced features they need, while emphasizing style, functionality and affordability,†remarked Wyatt Whaley, Vice President of Product Marketing at Pantech Wireless.
As an added attraction, this feature phone has been drenched in the purple hue to lend it a cheery appearance. On the hardware front, it is equipped with a 2MP snapper as well as a slot for expanding the internal memory up to 32GB. Moreover, users are treated to the added flexibility of accessing the touchscreen or the keypad for navigating through various tasks. In spite of accommodating a slider keypad, the overall form factor of the device could be regarded as compact.
The AT&T Pantech Swift price is marked at $69.99 (approx. Rs. 3,900) under a 2-year contract, following a $50 (approx. Rs. 2,790) mail-in rebate. It is presently shipping via the carrier’s official site.
