  • I had this phone for 8 months until I go the Samsung g800 and it was amazing at first. Later on, the paint on the keypad started coming off. Dialing and texting is so much easier and faster. If you have big fingers, you won't go good with this phone. In all, it's pretty good. The speakers are loud, so that's a plus! It's small and compact. Easy to put in pockets.

  • I've had this phone for about 2-3 years now, and boy, it has served me well. Probably the only phone I'll ever get this attached to, anyway...

  • my friend uses this phone on T-moblie but he and I bought the phone unlocked so it is able to send and recieve mms. you can upload photos onto the computer by hooking up the USB cord connector to your computer. or you can always use a USB memory card adapter. and for yB5f, just go to the menu page, press number 6 and that will take you to the settings. then press number 4 and that will lead you to the phone settings and then press the number 2 button to switch to a different language.

  • how is this phones ringtones? is it loud?

  • this phone is really amazing. it looks very unique and fools strangers into thinking it's a camera! the features are very well organized and performed. but the only i would like to improve is it's camera/video is sort of slow. it takes a few seconds for the camera to load after taking or deleting a picture.

  • This is a good phone, i wonder why this unit was not updated especially the connectivity feature.It's goodlooking.

  • Do you even know what you're saying? Cingular use GSM 850/1900 in most place, so this phone will work.

  • Cingular uses GSM 800/1800/1900. This phone is GSM 900/1800/1900, so it won't work on the cingular network.

  • I just got the phone and I'm a cingular user. I entered all the settings for wap and mms but its still not working on the cingular network, can anyone help? Also my phone is always on roaming, how can I fix this?

  • I just got this phone 5 days ago and the battery is pretty good. I've been using the regular battery and it lasts about 3 days on a full charge. That's with talking on it, configuring it, texting, and taking pics. I'm usually not on the phone that much but I really wanted to test it out because there have been comments about the battery life. So far, I've had no problems with the phone.

  • i really like how the phone looks and maybe ill plan to get one but i would like to know how many songs it can hold up too...like how much mins. ohhh yeah how about the battery life??? O_O it only last abt 3 hours right? that sucks

  • i just inherited this PG800. is there a user manual available in the internet? please help its not user friendly

  • to connect this fone to the computer simply select menu> 8.connectivity> 3. USB Mass Storage. it will then turn up on your My computer as a usb drive. move whatever you want into the folders...theres actually no need for the cd given, as any files that are already placed on the fone can be moved anywhere..i still just cant figure out what format the fone uses to play the videos but. nevertheless this is by far the best fone ive ever used

  • Go to cingular.com Click on device support, choose the pantech c300 which is the pg3200.( it is a different phone, but it work) The click on access/configure internet setting Then follow the instruction.

  • for US cingular users- are the phone settings (sms, mms, etc) available for this phone anywhere online?

  • This phone looks like a digicam o.O kinda cool

  • I just bought one in hong kong last month, and its performance is gud. its unique design attracts attention. Does anyone know where I can buy its accesories here in Phil.

  • Hi Guys, I just want to know how do you download music on this phone??? I downloaded the CD that came with it but i dunno where to go. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

  • im trying to connect this phone to my computer to my phone and it wont work.... how do i do that?

  • Hi, I just purchased this phone from eBay. I just want to know, can the phone take a 1G memory card? The specs doesn't say anything and i went to look at the website and it doesn't specify there either. Also, are there people here using this phone thru CINGULAR??? Are there any glitches, or problems, like reception, call, etc... Pls let me know. Thanks, Larry

  • maybe it's because the phone doesn't playback in 3gp but mpeg4 instead

  • to 4vxx. wat kind of converter did you use for the video files?? im using Allok video to 3gp, but the phone keeps saying file not supported everytime i try to play a video file

  • hi om looking for a new phone and im only 11 i really want it but dislike the idea of it being a slow texter im not slow but not megea fast. Ive got friends who are a lot faster than me can some1 please give me an idea on how slow it is. OH and i have heard some of you said it comes in black and silver but i can only find it with silver on the back and black on the friiubt plaese can some 1 tell me about the 2 different styles. im probally not readin this right. thanks id really appreasiate this coz i want to get it whislt the jan sales are on !!!(prob wont thougth)

  • give it for free

  • car and home charger for owners in U.S.don't know if this has been posted already but I had this phone for 6 months and couldn't find a car charger for it.been using the chargers for the pantech c300 from cingular with no problems

  • Definitely, one of the best phones I've ever seen. The horizontal sceen is excellent and the features are great. The camera worths the value, it is excellent. The only problem, sometimes it's a littlebit slow and you cannot choose the ringtone for the messade alert. Anyway, 10/10!

  • Loud speaker is good. It can play 3gp format movies bigger than 100 mb... i played a movie file that was 255mb and it works perfectly. Java applications are hard to install. mp3 player doesnt have many options. When you listen to music, you cant do other things simultaneously like you can in the SE walkman phones. Internet in U.S. for cingular was difficult to setup but i only got it to work once but then it stopped working. battery life is decent. you get 2 batteries. bluetooth is slow. usb transfers are slow. 250 mb file = 30 minutes.

  • This phone is by far the most amazing phone I have ever purchased. My problem is that I'm in the United States and have Cingular Wireless. Everything works great other than the internet and MMS. I have gone to Cingular's website and tried putting the IP's and such and it still won't work. If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail. Thank you.

  • this has to be one of the best phone i've ever seen or used.though at times its kinda slow but over all its a 10/10 phone.i live in india and no one has seen anything like this in their life.because here its all about nokia and sony ericsson.but who loves phone has to buy this cuz u'll love it forever.

  • it is a great phone but i have a question can i install aim on the phone

  • I'm really interested in buying this phone... but I first need to know how quick the phone is when it comes to Text Messages. I need something thats FAST. I got rid of my LG KG800 Chocolate because it was too slow for me. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • just got this phone all i can is awesome much better than my old phone

  • I just got my phone and I am very happy with it. It has all the features I was looking for. And they all perform better than I expected. The headset has excellant bass response. The on screen menus are easy to follow. The picture quality of the camera is very good. It ships with a USB cable, stereo headset,standard and extended life batteries thats right, 2 batteries.and PC software. The charging cable come with an adapter for US outlets. I can't sat enough good things about this phone. If your looking for a phone move this one to the top of your list!!

  • help please"::: i bought a new memory card but for some reason the memory card doesnt save all the music files and the images. DO I FORMAT IT OR SOMETHING HELP PLEAAAASE THNAKS

  • how do i download .jad program... this will let me install java apps or what? i m still a big confused. i have about 3 games that are .jar files... and when i transfer them to the phone vis sync... nothing happens. i dont know how to make them work.

  • Im having probs with java installs.. I've been trying to install java apps (example from getjar.com) and everytime i get to the point where the phone asks to intall.. I press install and it just prompts me with the red exclamation point with the note 'COULD NOT FIND' can anybody help? its seems to be the same problem regardless of the jar/jad source

  • note: the mp3-player can only list the first 99 songs from the mem and only from them you can create music albums.. the exceeding songs can be single-played trough file browsing but can't be seen nor selected from the player application. i have more than 100 songs and I created several playlists (albums) from them by first creating the playlist from the first 99 then i delete these mp3-files from the mem and create other playlists from the mp3s that iv'e left in the memry. when all lists are created just then recopy all the deleted files back to the memcard or fonememory.. the path of the files should of course be the same as when u did the albums for the playlists to work. note: I've tried playing mp4 files most work some doesnt.. ive noticed that th fone only recognize and play files that are not bigger than 100Mb iv'e viewed even full movies but i had to divide the into several files to get them smaller.. some files just doesn't play even if theyre small enought.. to recognize somehow, these mp4 are also not compatible with the older quicktime.

  • monty: yeah, i did experienced the slow-response when typing messages. but now, i already get used to it. otherwise, this phone sure works superbly. oh, try using t9 for messaging next time. __ : to install java, you need to upload the java file (.jad) into the internet. then download it using wap. eventually, after you dl-ed the file, it will prompt you to install it. install it and you have the app under java section. __ : mine comes with 64mb. RS-MMC Austin : i think they might have it you have to buy it in the web. ebay? __ : i always make the picture size smaller. and i noticed that the image size can't be larger than 1mb. or else i will read as big file. ** but nevertheless, i still enjoy using this phone. love it.

  • Hi, I just want to ask if anyone knows where I can get a car charger for this phone?? By the way, this phone is a magnet. I love everything about this phone, the only problem is that it doesn't have a shuffle function for the mp3 and video files i have. 1gb memory card fits a long of files and sometimes it is hard to find that one particular file, otherwise love it!

  • can someone please help me.. when i get a picture transferred to the phone and the quality is 1024x768 pixels the phone give me message of " bad file or too big" it cant open a big file like that? is there a way of opening them n shrinkin them?? thank you for any help

  • Best smartphone i ever have

  • the security code is in the manual.. i've changed mine already but the original should be something like '1234' or '0000'. press on the same button '#' for a while until it asks the code.

  • I've had the fone for about 3 weeks now, I live in finland and on my visit in HongKong.. looks great, the mp3-player works well, superb audio quality on the earpieces, I totally don't miss my old mp3-gadget. that's the main reason y i got it. I'm having difficulties on typing, does anybody else experience slow-responce of the keys?(please reply on that) the fone function very much as advertised but somehow slow on processing.. mine doesnt support scandivian characters such as �,� and �, does anybody is this fixable here in europe (self install trough the net?)? the camera is just like any other fone-camera.. good thing to have in your pocket just don't rely on it on your wedding day.. I'm raelly bummed bout the typing!! exam: to get the letter 'F' you'll have to hit the 3 presses really slow coz doing it as u would with a nokia will just end u up with the 1st character'D'!! the fone is nice and eye-catching.. get it you dont SMS much otherwise it works fine.

  • i ve had this phone for a few months and i m from the US... the reception is good... its not the best but good... t mobile settings for the wap can be found anywhere on the web.. just look for it in google. i need help with one thing tho... java. i need to install some games but i dont know how i can do that. i use the software but i still cant figure out how to install some of the games i have. i know they wont play perfect on the phone but i wanna atleast see which ones work. If anyone here has that figured out, then please please email me. [email protected] ... if i cant figure this out then i might just sell it the phone and get a k 800.

  • wat size memory card does the phone come with? Thankx

  • yes, the phone does vibrate and ring together if you want it to. The vibrate is strong therefore you won't miss any calls, my last phone (the Razor) had a horrible vibrate feature. If you have any questions about the phone feel free to send me an email ill do what i can to answer it.

  • just received this phone, and i love it! looks way nicer in person. i definitely reccomend this phone to anybody whos willing to spend the money.

  • does the phone ring n vibrate at the same time for incoming calls?? thanx for help

  • not even one of my friends dislike this phone. they just love it!

  • oh yeah! i bought my pantech pg-8000! yeah, i am so happy with it now. thank you guys for all the facts i need to know before i get to decide whether to buy or not. =)

  • I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find the T-mobile WAP or messaging settings for this phone. I've found settings for other phones, but because this one isn't availabe in the US nowhere seems to have the settings. Thanks for any help.

  • lol. i don't know about the reception thingy, but i am sure i am going to get a black one. black is nice. =)

  • Could anybody please tell me how does reception work in the US. Is the signal good? Should i get the silver or the black one? I truly appreciate your advices. Thanks alot!

  • aloha. i am here to ask whether this support east-asia language? thanks. =)

  • can i online yahoo!messenger with this gadget? pls someone answer me ASAP bcoz i wanna buy this gadget !

  • perfect

  • i have this phone and i like it. Big screen and sharp too. The picture quality is good. The important thing is good mp3 player. If i compare it with sony ericsson w550i, pantech is waaayyy better. you can also charge it via usb cable, so u don't have to bring a charger. It can be a usb flash disk, u can drop and drag your music or picture directly without dowloading the software. Unfortunately, i don't find the shuffle function in the mp3 player and bluetooth is very slow. The other features are good.

  • Hey, just wondering is it still difficult and troublesome to use this phone after months of usage since it's horizontal? Thanks.

  • wow Pantech in the US is garbage... if only they could actually show their potential and ship something like this over here!

  • ma, apparently this phone's reception is real bad in Toronto, Canada...how is it the US?

  • truest me on this 1 please buy the Lg chocolate the pantec is a really nice phone but the chocolat is slim and really cool.I used to have the pantec buy i got rid of it for the chocolate that was the best thing that i could ever do

  • its great, the spec is nice, i like to buy it, but i still doubt about the quality of video, is pg 8000 have a good video record, and unlimited duration, thanks

  • to krishna, 2mp is correct, but the 16X zoom is not.

  • i have read that the phone has 2MegaPixel camera with flash and " 16X " Digital zoom. Is that true??

  • hi, is there a shuffle/random function in mp3 mode? thanks

  • i typed message fast with mobile phone. does the phone running quick in the writing msg like nokia?

  • hi, i hear you can charge this phone through the usb wire? is this true? also, saw the opinion saying that the camera is 'almost better' than the samsung d600, does that mean it's NOT better? Thanks.

  • Hey, some say can store 1gb mem. but phone spec. say up to 512mb, can someone clerify? Does this phone have speakerphone? can mp3 be played without headphones? thanks.

  • so slow and the font is too small but picture quality is so great!

  • Hi all. I would like to post this article about the PG 8000 for all those who keep wondering about its functions and want to buy it but are hesitant. Given my experience in mobile phones as a heavy user and a journalist who writes about phones...here is a very brief comment about the phone. In order not to confuse readers and keep them waiting to see if it is good or not..I would like to say it is really good handset in terms of functions, performance and looks. But I would like to advise those with not too strong eye sight to avoid this handset as the menu writing is too small...messages and phone book names can hardly be read while you have to train your eyes painfully to be able to read all other menu functions. I dont know why Pantech missed this point..but probably the engineers and designers have a so good eye sight that they could not notice this problem. now to the good side. The phone works really pretty well and when you own it , you can boast that you have a very unique phone in terms of shape...but its not only shape..Pantech G8000 has another unique facility that no other phone has it-- it can read your messages...you just set this opition and a sweet feminine voice will echo out of the phone loudly when ever a message lands into the mobile... Screen is crisp and very clear and colourful while battery life is not too bad, lasting me around two days with heavy use. Phone is about 100 gm but is pocketable and looks sturdy and light.. menu is not very complicated and becomes too easy once you manage to control it in a couple of days.. it has around 19 mb memory on board plus a 64-mb memory card bundled with it. bluetooth and infra red work really well while the MP3 has many formats and is one of the best i have ever seen. Camera is almost better than the Samsung D600 while you can record video with sound in three different formats for as long as the memory card lasts... you can assign picture or video clip as wallpaper or attach them to contact...photos can be edited and the pictures generated by the two-mega pixel camera are far better than those taken by all previous Pantech phones. Finally the phone has an FM radio, which also works very well. I bought this phone for around 300 US dollars and I think its worth it. This is one of the most pleasant mobile phones I have ever bought. if you have strong eye sight, go for it...but if you think the tiny letters on the phone could be an annoyance, try to avoid it. good luck

  • I would love to buy this phone, but I've investigated the shop B4Utele, mentioned here and they are definately to be avoided, as the phone is shipped from china, so it takes a long time and you may have to pay additional tax. So - I'm wondering if any one could tell me - if buy a phone from America, will I be able to charge it ok, using an adapter?

  • I got this phone about 3 days ago... saw it in the package and already fell in love with the look and feel of it. its made in korea so it was a gamble for me but when i got it... the phone feels really really good... like its built nicely instead of the tacky feeling. Couple of things i noticed... the screen is really really sharp. I dont think the mp3 player setup is that good but it gets the job done. The sound is clear and loud. If you get black then you can see finger prints easily. Navigation is easy to use but its a bit slow at processing. I think thats the main downside to it. I took a few pictures... they look good on the phone and when i uploaded them to the computer they werent that bad but i got to say k750's picture quality is better than this phones. The software doesnt really work on my computer... i can only see the phone as a flash drive on my computer, the software to edit contacts and such doesnt quite work... it keeps saying usb connection failed. It came with a extended battery and standard battery. and the battery life itself is pretty good. reception is good as well. Only complaints : Processing is slow 2mp quality is mediocre software doesnt work for me yet

  • I know it's already been asked but does this phone have speakerphone capabilities?

  • Fantastick pnone!!!!!!!! - nice!!!!! - big knowledge! - many moor ....

  • This phone is better than Sony Ericsson W800i, no doubts. PG-8000 has bigger screen, better screen resolution, better network reception (one of the best in this area). W800i can only win when playing Mp3 - more functions when playing music but almost no differenc in sound quality between this 2 mobiles. I really prefer PG-8000 design, great (but i really mean GREAT, i think only HP and Sharp has better screens). I am preparing to buy on, lol. :D

  • Hi Gerrard, how is the mp3-quality and the camera quality of this phone?

  • hi i got this phone last week from Welecronics and its perfect..but still has some disadvatages...it is uncomfortable to hold it...keypad is a little bit small...and u should clean the phone every hour coz it atracts alot of finger prints exactly like the psp and even more....So if people dont have problem with these disadvantages i really advice them to buy it ...

  • All function were good, but I found problem about Mpeg4 video. Some Mpeg4 video could not support, I wish a new version firmware can be fix it. Cannot continue for MP3 player when using SMS was also a problem.

  • hello sir, u r hand set is very good but deer

  • i need more info...but the deesing is very original..definitely a head turner!!

  • looks like an old fashion radio

  • accually, the Sony ericsson k750 is a bold copy of the Pantech P1 which was announced a year ago. Pantech was the first company to use "dual front" (looking like a camera and a phone).

  • pentech is turning up to the most advanced moobile phone making company in the world... it has introduced the concepts and designs several years ago.. and now diff. mob. companies like SE , nokia etc are copying the concept... you can't see all pantech phones here.. but the others are marvelously technologically advanced you have ever seen..

  • I used to have the CDMA version of this handset. The screen is great (cdma version isnt QVGA, so this one must differ to the better). Camera is excellent, this was advertised under the name 'dicafone' which means digital camera phone; the camera satisfied me alot, better than the camera found on my Sharp 902 handset. But one this i dont like about this phone is the keypad layout, it takes alot of time getting used to.

  • ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo some i have never seen something like diz

  • MBN179 You'll find the SE W900 has better voting results, although I gotta admit, I do like the look of this, good design, good features, but I just don't know how good Pantech phones are to use as they're not available here in the UK..... I'd be interested in seeing one of these in the "flesh" - very interesting design......maybe Pantech should consider entering the UK market, I reckon there would be demand for stuff like this here....

  • What's the video recording resolution and frames per second for this phone, why don't any specifications list for any phone specify what kind of video a phone has??

  • this is wat i believe is the the best phone of 05 and 06 it is amazing i mean don't take my opinion look at the voting results and if u see anything higher then that then tell me ....

  • dis looks like a DC
