Pantech Burst - User Reviews

  • The worst phone I have ever encountered! Naturally people tend to complain, I have no qualms with that,though when they are fed up with their cell phone I will always offer up my pantech burst. As I type this we are trying to figure out once again why it is not receiving sent calls or messages. This is a common issue more and more. I won't even attempt to list all the quirks, idocracyies, non-existent, yet otherwise common settings, and extreme hair-pulling frustrations this thing forces me to endure daily. Why do I own it? It was given to me and I cannot afford another. Nor do I wish to insult the person who gave it (even though I suspect that this person is more than well aware, hence why it was on hand to give freely.) I just can't stress enough how little I think of this phone. Believe me- this rant was the shorter version

  • my pantech p9070 is having trouble. It gets very hot while charging, the battery drains really fast whether used or unused and at times freezes up. it has really been a nice phone before all the troubles. please help me help myself. I really love this phone but it has no screenshot and i wish it's android version can be upgraded.

  • my phone is not switch on phone is automatic switched off and not switch on .. plz send address pantech mobile service center in delhi...

  • Try a custom rom, I got a little better results there. With using an apps2sd card application. But that is the issue with these older Android phones, very limited onboard storage. It makes it a pain the arse for these nextgen Android apps that take up so much more space.

  • I got this, used, as my first phone. It works well, but I haven't found a way to get service. I rate this: 7/10.

  • Love this phone. I drop it like once a week never a dent. I lost the back lens cover but the camera still works fine. Must be over 4 years now. Wish they still made them.

  • Pantech Burst 9070 unlocked att version served me well 4 years only started acting up in the last 8 months low space icon hampers even after deleting & sending everything to a 32GB SD only options is reset I've got two batteries they barely get me through the day this and my blackberry torch 8700 are the only two smart phone I've every owned before that a Motorola razer. now what? newer phones allow you to format an external SD as an internal storage device not to many of those on the market in 2016.

  • Check Pantech website or Pantech Custom ROMs.

  • Still is my daily, running Kit kat. Upgrading soon to the Pantech discover. :)

  • You can put an unofficial port of Cyanogenmod 11 on there. It works pretty good with the exception of the battery dying 4 times a day. But I think it's time to replace the battery in the phone since it's 3.5 years old. It works as a decent backup phone though when I need something small. Link to Pantech Burst wiki page on XDA forums with a list of various custom ROMs: Link to CM11:

  • I can't use my wifi and hotspots

  • I purchased this phone over three years ago (I can't remember when). It has been pretty reliable aside from the malfunctioning when the memory is full. I've had to do several hard resets (I only lost my information during one reset, in the others I only needed to re-install my apps). I really like this phone and the main reason why I'm getting rid of it is because I've just grown tired of it. I've dropped it SEVERAL times (up to 2-3x per week) and my screen is still perfectly in tact. It's a really good phone.

  • any way that I can update the software on it ???????

  • Hello, I managed to find CM11 for the pantech burst but you need to do the ff: 1. upgrade to ICS using official method from pantech site (requires windows 7 to work) 2. install CWM. 3. using CWM install CM11 and Google micro Gapps 4. Root was working for me then but the other day i tried to clean install cannot root my phone :(. Overall the unit is fine again and fast :). Thanks.

  • Hey GodOfThunder23, -just curious how you got cm11 on your pantech burst, went to downloads earlier this year and just recently and still having trouble. Thanks for your time!

  • Excellent phone for the price tag, except for the Battery, 1650 mAh, which drains fast. I've installed CM11 on this phone and it's amazingly fast compared to the stock GB and ICS stock ROM's.

  • Yes. My problem is that my phone makes very hot when charging and sometimes freeze Now I wanted to have a screenshot it does not support even my friends use to make fun of my phone which does not have radio, always getting hot, battery not strong, and even its a old version which is no more in the system. PantechP9070 accessories cannot be found in my country. I just want to know if the company has stop manufacturing.. #PleaseDoSomething

  • have used the phone for more than 2 yrs. awesome experience. ultravalue for money. but now since the memory is full, it has started slowing down a bit. very sad to know that pantech has stopped manufacturing phones now.

  • My pantech 9070 Had frozen, I removed the battery since it can not revive. What should I do?

  • yes im having problem with mine in te past i had one its an awsome phone but i had to get another one cuz the previous one cracked on the screen but its a true high def pic none of the other phone i have compares to pantech burst p9070any who who can tell me whats wrong when i try to im put the sim card an nothing comes upive turned iyt off an reset an nothingbut all other apps seem to be working fine need help please?...

  • My phone will shut off and reboot itself then I can't make any calls or send/receive text. I will have to remove the battery and replace it then I can use my phone for another day or 2 then I have to repeat. Has anyone had these problems with their Pantech Burst?

  • my panitech burst has issuein loadin data how can i go over that

  • Go for flashing

  • check your charging cable, or anything goes wrong with your wall plug

  • my pantech bettery lasts for only 1 hour on 3G

  • Just for your information, devs around the world had put their hard work for the little beast and developed a kitkat ROM (4.4.4) for it. I am currently using this, do not see major bugs apart from wifi tethering and bluetooth headset not working. Go and google "Jake Pantech Burst ROM" You will surely land upon the developers website from where you can install it. You need to have a rooted device along with latest CWM installed. I have Phillz recovery.

  • how u rooted the phone??

  • how do u flash such a phone??? thank you

  • Hi, I have rooted already my pantech burst p9070 phone which is running with android 4.04(ice cream sandwhich). Anyone could you please provide the process to upgrade to jelly bean os. please mail to [email protected]

  • Good phone except bad battery. I was using burst for past 1.5 year and positive are : ** Phone was good in clarity of voice ** Good camera( capture good picture even with moving vehicles) ** GPS, WiFi, 3G are best and never comparable with Chinese phones(such as karbonn, micromax, and more brands- I mean for MTK chipset) ** Build quality of this phone is good ** Most of the big games running without lag Negative : ** Phone is hot on long call( I usually use headset on long call) ** Battery is poor( For frequent usage it will last only upto 10-15 hour) ** Stock ICS lags on heavy load ( rooted my phone and installed slimbean(Android 4.1.2). Now it seems perfect. Never found a lag in slimbean) Overall it's a greatest phone when compared at the time i purchased.. I got a quality phone in my budget(10K INR-It was 2 years back).

  • Its a common problem

  • It is a very nice phone in low budget.Needs 2 times full charging every day.4" Display clarity is very nice.

  • I can't choose the 2g network

  • I found that the charger port is extremely fragile, the port is broken on mine actually and I have to angle my charger in a certain way cause I don't have the money to get it fixed yet. I dropped the phone once, 3 feet and the port broke. Other than that the phone is amazing and I love it.

  • I also love this phone but the battery aint good at all.Im in Douala Cameroon

  • it's the best and thank God i got it as a gift from mum.

  • I love the phone but how can I get a good battery .I am in Douala Cameroon

  • powerful phone very 9ice

  • the phone freeze alot with slightest multi-tusking and also have very poor battery life, anyway i liked a the Screen experience.

  • just bought the phone. seems superb phone

  • phone is dam good bt the service is not gud ..............providers dont even pic the dam call when u get pissed

  • I have the same problem as him my version is 4.0.4

  • For this bland i just thank the company for the specification dey gev this Burst coz ma friend hev 1 but it works very good wit the best internet speed.So i really apprecients

  • When you call voicemail, take the phone away from ur ear, I shake mine to make my screen light up; you can also jus touch ur power key. The screen lights up & gives you options for speaker,end, dial pad, etc. Dial pad is in the bottom right corner of my screen. Jus tap it & there's your numbers. Keep n mind while the dial pad is open on the screen, ur cheek could "press" numbers making it do crazy stuff. I love my Burst. I do have the issue of every now n then it gets no texts or calls & then all of a sudden it will deliver them all at once. It does freeze up. But I didn't have any of these problems until I upgraded it to 4.0.4 or whatever it is. Also, I am a constant user. I use my Burst for personal and my business. I use a lot of apps & i always keep a spare battery charged. I also take lots of pics with this phone & love them. I LOVE that it takes still pics while filming video. The front camera I've used twice so no opinion on it except its VGA wat u expect. Lol I also have music aways playing whether its Pandora, my music player, or Sound hound. So at any given moment I've got at least 3 apps running flipping back and forth. Gbd home button & switching apps is my friend lol! My flash cover fell out shortly after I got the phone. I've had it for almost 2 years now. I deal with the little issues because the phone itself is great. Great functionality, great storage, good mp camera, & it does stuff that some brand new phones don't do: like still photos while recording. Ppl do complain about I sound muffled when ever I let the phone get lazy such as: trying to hold it with ur shoulder, laying down, or carrying it around talking on speakerphone. I drop it quite often and screen hasn't cracked and phone isnt broke. Bottom line...if u want a smartphone with great capability but don't wana pay big bucks. The Pan tech Burst is the way to go, hands down. Especially since other big buck smart phones have all the same glitches....

  • what is your android version??

  • How to update to jelly bean please help me Thanks in advance

  • With regard to the camera not being 5 megapixel, first you must go into the settings under camera and change the resolution to 5M. The default is 3M to save memory. Second, it does focus, despite what others have said. It is necessary in ICS to hold down the photo button and it will beep. You should then see everything in focus. This should clear up some camera issues.

  • i hv a question i bought the phone but in one weeks time the gallery stopped displaying the photos or anything.what does that mean???pliz help

  • For any help on pantech burst regarding upgrade, rooting, please mail me on [email protected] I will be glad to help you folks there as I have been using this phone from last six months and have installed four different ROMS already in it.. Currently on rooted custom ROM (ICS 4.04) Even Jelly bean was awesome but I needed a stable version to reverted back to ICS.. Please mention PANTECH BURST in the subject line of mail

  • The heating problem is because of only one core doing all the task although, it is dual core as second core is always offline To enable the second core, we need to root the phone, insall system tuner from play store, then enable the second sore, reboot.... phone becoms much fast, but yes, more battery will be exhausted

  • Hi Madhu, Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your burst Then go to Phone information There will be a tab called SMSC, just click on refresh, it will give you value for your local sms centre My value is "+919892051914",145 BTW, I am from Mumbai

  • After app starts appearing grey, navigate to : Settings -> Apps -> swipe to ALL Apps -> click on Pantech Home -> Then click on Force Stop This will give you exact icons...

  • i have had this phone for 3 weeks now... gotta say its an amazing device for the money u pay... its pretty amazing that this phone fits in such a small budget... rooted it N eliminated all the at&t bloatware... one of the best phones i have ever used... and the colours are really good eventhough its a 256k colour phone... trust me the display is amazing... ppl who are considering to buy this phone... stop thinking... just go for it..

  • Do a google search. There are a lot of pages with the how to (and it's pretty easy :) ).

  • Anyone who has rooted the device please help me !! please give me links that i can root my device

  • I am using this phone using mini sim, and there is no issue at all. I am quite satisfied with its performance until by now. both cameras are working fine with auto focus even. I enjoyed video songs for more than 45 minutes in one sitting and the battery consumption was nominal. After all, Pantech Burst is a great product from at&t

  • Hey guys I am having a problem my camera isn't working it's showing a message "Unable to operate camera. End camera" :( Pleaseeeeeeeeee help me guys

  • is the sim mini or micro?

  • It seems that the sim type is wrong: According to AT&T website, the Pantech Burst uses MICRO SIM (3FF) .... but here it is listed as using MINI SIM (2FF).

  • Its really works, Thank u so much

  • This is one awesome device. currently there is developer support to port CM10 onto this device so we can have jelly bean on it. cannot wait for a full functional CM10 rom.

  • regarding comment re all phomes having heating problems; i've been using HTC PHONES for 3 years and have never had a heating issue. sounds like Boeing and some Android phone mfgs need to change their heat syncs to deal with the issue. tht heat syncing is at the root of every heating issue. Samsung and motorola have the worst heat issue with Samsung being the worst.

  • which release next version

  • thanks,bro

  • Better to buy from eba from I2C world(Seller name) you can get the handset at 8400 if you are purchasing using your credit card.

  • at present i am having sony xperia j shall i buy Pantech Burst

  • i bought from ibhejo.com....awesome phone...nice :)

  • that worked for me, thanks Vijay for sharing

  • Use ES Task Manager and kill all apps! Voila! All icons have been restored back.. :)

  • same happened for me. but friend doesnt get tat probs, when apps are moved from internal memory to media storage. they say its a common bug found in many android phones and its because the phone starts up before the internal storage is mounted. i'm trying to figure out :(

  • Except,... It's not sold in India. I would say Micromax A116.

  • does it include headphones???

  • Best phone you can get under 20k in india, its better than samsung galaxy S duos and comparable to galaxy s2(except for camera)

  • It is permanently unlocked, so you can go to factory reset safely without the fear of locking it again, also you wont lose ICS upgrade...

  • Why icons are not appearing properly for apps that are transferred to internal media storage. Any way out to solve this..

  • Guys m india .....m having a issue ...please respond ...when m at malls ..my phone drops to edge ...but I always want it to be on 3g ..what to do ...m not finding the switching setting of wcdma or gsm ..help me out

  • Awesome phone, Came with Android 2.3 and updatedt ICS. Sofar no issues since update. Performs well, no lags, Wonderful new features. With ICS you will save battery more. Only the drawback is battery drains fast with 3G or 4G data access. Also bit getting heated. If using only for calls, sms, less entertainments, you may use a single ull charge for 2 -3 days. At this price this is an unbelievable gadget. Highly recommending. (Pc suit still does not recognize the phone with Windows 8 for me/ 7 is ok)

  • Pantech Burst is an AWFUL phone. Trust me, I work for AT&T and I have seen about 30 of them come back to the store where they have completely shut off and won't come back on. I would NEVER purchase a pantech phone. You people want to be cheap and buy a phone for a dollar, then get pissed at your carrier because the phone doesn't last for2 years....

  • Do you root your phone? If not, look it up and then upgrade to ICS. The upgrade has some improvements to battery life, stability, speed, voice quality, and connectivity. However, it comes with acute annoyances to be quashed. The AT&T bloatware is much more in the update. It reinstalls itself if uninstalled as root. Worst is the AT&T Smart wifi app. Even if never used, it will override wifi sleep settings to sleep with screen off, increasing data usage and screwing up apps like voip and push IM(was that intentional AT&T?). Another iPhone in the making. To kill it, download system tuner after rooting and disable all check boxes for it under start ups and events. Now you quashed AT&T's control over your wifi. You can do the same to other bloatware to make it invisible to system and not startup. The annoying new boot sound can be killed with silent boot. The annoying launcher can be replaced, and used to hide other unwanted apps not in startup events, foisted upon you by AT&T. A swap file(via swapper 2) and aggressive oom kill settings can keep it going smooth for days without reboots. For battery meter inaccuracy, use battery calibration to delete stats file at 100% charge. Reboot a few times and notice it falsely go down. Now, wait for 10% or so supposed battery. Plugin to outlet. Use system tuner to wipe cache and dalvik cache. Reboot. Notice +20-30% battery added. You just fixed the battery meter :) Should work fine from here on in. If you don't want to root, I can show you how to use Green power free to override Smart wifi though it is a crude workaround that occasionally still allows connection interruptions, though keeps it going with screen off. Despite all this, it is a nice upgrade and more stable than Gingerbread after these fixes. Voice quality is much improved, too. Use force 2D acceleration and watch the interface fly, with reduced battery consumption.

  • Greetings... For the record I bought this device in Sept of this year. Off of Ebay. So you know..... When I turned it on, it had me when the screen came on.... The Super AMOLED screen is awesome. The screen is not 1024x whatever (actually 480x800), or higher , but... So WHAT.. It is clear. Except in bright sunlight... Slightly washed out look. But still legible. Only other gripe for me is my older Huawei u8650, was brighter in the SUn. And had a sensor in front as do most, that controlled ( user option ) the screens reaction to ambient light... Only negative, actually... Pantech has right on their website how to re-configure their Burst to download ICS... EZ.. JUST FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.... Read. Then re-read to digest. Simple actually though. Performance BLEW AWAY what I was expecting... QUICK page refreshes. Little or ( most likely )NO hesitation in going from app to app. Looks right, actually it "punches way above it's weight", pricewise... It has 4g LTE. Works with T-Mobile in NY here... BUT T-Mobile's towers are sparce.... During the storm, T-Mobes service defaulted to AT&T.. So I switched. MUCH better service. The phone comes into its own. Even T-Mobes phones have probs. So don't write about the Burst. It's the carrier. The battery is ok... Only ok. But I have multiple accounts ( 5 ) pushing email to me. As well as other services running. Volume is ok. Just. Not slanderously quiet. Better when updated to ICS. All in all an EXCELLENT user experience.. I am a Pantech fan now... Looking to upgrade to the Flex.. Why... DUnno... 'Cause I can.. And I like like a good brand.. The website's help upgrading, for me, goes a long way. THIS Company, thus far is commited to after sale support. Gotta love it!! Great product. Good product support. Good looking. ;)

  • have been using ds fone for abt 3 months nw... so far m damm pleasd wit d overall performance of dis baby.. m thinking abt upgrading to ics nw, cn anyone plizzz tell me if der is any lapse in performance or user experience after upgrading to ics coz i hv seen some negative feedback after upgrading to ics... ur honest opinion n feedback r most welcome.... tnx

  • Download widgetsoid from app store and provide administrator access

  • hi i am muna i want to buy pantech burst

  • Using this phone since 10 days. My experience is its an AWESOME phone. The Specs are simply mind-blowing. I bought it for 11500 on eBay.in. It has almost all the features of Samsung Galaxy SII. 1) The screen is Super AMOLED which is superb 2) 1GB RAM which we can't find in phones below 20K price 3) 1.5Gh Processor makes tasks butter smooth (I have installed almost 120 apps like games, launchers, news apps, mail apps, FB app,G+, etc..) 4) ICS is a breeze on this phone 5) With in India one doesn't worry abt battery life coz 4.5 Hrs batter back up mentioned is with LTE connectivity which is not available in India as of now 6) Camera quality is quite good & camcorder is satisfactory. I use Wi-fi continuously through out the day & once I'm back in my home I'll switch it to 3G but it still gives me a solid 1 & 1/2 day with heavy data usage & calls. Its really hard to find good accessories like screen guard & phone protector for this phone in India as this was not launched here. In eBay you can find some sellers.

  • please is there a way i can change the font of pantech burst without rooting the phone

  • i m using burst for last month damn great phone more powerful then s3....awsun device from pantech

  • eBay is a great place. I bought one for $110 with free shipping.

  • is there a way i can change my font without rooting my phone?

  • Amazon or ebay

  • where i will buy this mobile please help me

  • I have been using this phone for the past one week. I have upgraded it to ICS 4.0.4 The battery life is satisfying even with heavy usage. It lasts a day long. I don't think rooting with any custom ROM is really necessary for this phone when you upgrade it with the stock ICS, coz it gives out it's ultimate performance. Another thing I came through was that the adreno 220 GPU in this device is very powerful than that of Galaxy S3's Mali 400.(I had it compared and the results was awesome) Amazing screen. Fast processor. Good Battery. Low audio quality.(rear speaker is not very loud) Network works fine. Overall good budget phone!

  • exactly

  • coz every one is not intelligent ! and every body goes for big brands !

  • If phone is that good then why popularity is 0.1 percent in gsmarena?

  • Awesome Phone ! I own one ! :) Performance is Outstanding --- 10/10 Battery is not so best ! Last a day or two depending on your usage --- 08/10 Ics needs improvements --- 05/10 just be on GB Phone Build is good --- 09/10 Camera quality is Nice 5mp --- 09/10 Overall --- 9/10 if you have GB :(

  • In my opinion this is very good phone . I own one peice . A small review. Performance - 10/9.5 ( Till now every damm game runs flawlessly. ) Battery - (on 2G) 9/10 ( runs 1.5 complete days on full recharge with moderate usuage. Overall UI - 6/10 .. Furthur root and improve :D

  • You cannot move to '3G/WCDMA only' option with widgetsoid. You have to use secret code revealer.

  • You can switch network with widgetsoid without any issues. dont afraid.

  • i have heard that upgrading the phone to ICS has some issues in selecting networks like 4G/3G/2G i mean if selecting one you cannot migrate to anyother option.

  • Ics for burst have any problems or good working ?

  • thanks for the info

  • does ICS update requires flashing/rooting of device? or it does byself during updation...

  • I have bought one today....but worried about battery life....please give your suggestion so that i should feel great about this wonderful device.....please give ur expereince.....

  • The phone actually takes a micro sim card like the iphone 4/4s.

  • Does any body know when is jelly bean update is avilable. or is there any custom rom avilable.

  • i update 2 ics and its rockssssssssssssss

  • www.ebay.in/itm/pantech-burst-p9070-screen-guard­-screen-protector-/200838504572?pt=in_mobile_acc­essories&hash=item2ec2e8607c

  • this is an awesome phone but u have to search for its screen protector u can buy pantech burst screen guard here www.ebay.in/itm/PANTECH-BURST-P9070-SCREEN-GUARD­-SCREEN-PROTECTOR-/200838504572?pt=IN_Mobile_Acc­essories&hash=item2ec2e8607c

  • I oredred one an got already. Buy a cheap rs. 125 micro sim cutter from ebay. When you get the phone cut the sim. Its 100% compatible. I used two: Reliance GSM and MTNL Delhi.

  • Overall conclusion: Starting from where i left previously; if your internet usage is conservative to moderate then you can make best use of the phone; however if you are a heavy user then you may be left complaining abt the phone's battery life. However having said this; given the fact that its a budget phone one must see the features on a brighter side and think for this price we have got an excellent VFM device!!!

  • After purchasing this handset i am going to post/share some of my experiences of the phone: 1. The Super AMOLEd screen is absolutely awesome; display is at par with most of the premium phones out in market... The build of the phone is neither too heavy nor light just perfect for a 4.0" phone 2.OS upgrade to ICS was done in 10 min; some notable diffrence is seen in battery performance; however my main reason to upgrade to ics was better app compatibility plus i am used to slide the running tasks/programs to kill it in android :D... 3. Battery performance is good when the device is in 2g mode my phone is able to last for 2 full days without a single charge!!! however when turned on wifi the performance deteriorated with phone hardly lasting a day... 3g makes it even worse with battery lasting for 7-8 hours max... ( i think this is mostly issue with pantech build os given the fact that 2g battery runs flawlessly) 4. The Bundled OS comes with loads of bloated apps from AT&T which is not removable; so rooting is the only option... however there is not a optimised rooted OS for Burst yet released so expect some minor niggles here and there... (btw root at ur own risk!) 5. Performance is slick with dual core processor and 1gb ram at its best!!! no lagging issues of any sort! 6.Very generous of pantech to include 16gb space internally. This combined with my 32gb sd card meets most of the daily storage requirements... 7. Do not expect major upgrades ery soon.. given the fact that ICS has been rolled out recently.. Jelly bean and the next os updates could come pretty late to this

  • Just contact your Service Provider and ask them to provide you with a Micro Sim.

  • can i insert the normal sim card in india in this mobile pls anybody help me bcoz i have ordered one from ebay.

  • ANYBODY AVAILABLE TO ANSWER BELOW: Can anybody please tell me the advantages and disadvantages of ICS upgrade. I am using 2.3 on my current mobile(not pantech). Pantech specific differences are welcome. What are the major differences, if you can tell me the minor ones, it will be helpful too.

  • Can anybody please tell me the advantages and disadvantages of ICS upgrade. What are the major differences, if you can tell me the minor ones, it will be helpful too. Thanks in advance.

  • look, I don't know how to tell you this. Rather than reading these forums, just go out and buy this. I went to the website and have been uploaded ICS. but you personally, I don't have to. I was perfectly happy with Gingerbread. ICS allows me to long press the home key, and keep in memory on the programs I need on a permanent basis. so I have SKYPE. WATSAP, VIBER, GMAIL, FACEBOOK, as well as MAPS, all running simultaneously. As well as several others, with no slowdown. Not even a hiccup. Go to your local store, our Ebay. Pay your money. Be happy... 1.5 GHz of goodness. 1GB ram.the best 4 inches of Super Amoled. All in a nifty looking, handy container/handset.

  • I am going to buy an unlocked version from ebay, will it work outside usa! I read lots of negatives of upgrade on xda-developer, Anyone using ICS, any issues?

  • guyz im planning to get this phone !!! pls guide me if i can go with this mobile or not along with the reason !!!

  • Well before I can buy this guy, do I really have to do all this like I have read from the post?? kinda hassle if I have problems with ICS etc, etc.lol

  • Awesome! The body is nice. But it's the screen that impresses. The speed and fluidity of the unit that seduces. It stays out of the way.If this is your first you won't appreciate it. This was my third.. So I had experience. Quit reading and just buy this unit!! It's more like a smaller S III, than I imagined. This screen is super AMOLED, right? Seeing really is believing. Outstanding clarity, brightness. Usage in the sun is somewhat limited, but still doable. The only foible I is the battery. I've downloaded several battery extender utilities.I'll see how that works. Still, using this unit rather than my main computer, is something I'd never would have predicted, before now.

  • Just did an ICS update.. Took me around 15 min.. Piece if cake! :D Runs great!

  • JUST upgraded to I.C.S. Piece of cake...... Took all of 20 minutes total. Just read the instructions. And do as your told. Simple. 'Nuff said.

  • AWESOME bit of kit.... Does what it says on the tin. Runs like a scared rabbit. Minimum interface. ALL parts are well integrated. 1gb ram. 1.5 Ghz ANYTHING is good. 1.5 Ghz KRAIT!!!?? Mops the floor with the competition. FUGGEDABOUTIT!!!!!

  • Its easy, I just did mine 2minutes ago, follow this link.

  • Who can help me with the steps to upgrade from 2.3.5 to ice cream sandwich? That are easy and safe installation?

  • no it will not lock

  • i am using this phone with unlocked version in india. very very good phone for this price range. i love the superamoled display the most. yesterday upgraded to ics but honestly even the previous rom was not bad either. one issue though , it got surround sound so the volume seems to be bit low. but i will see to it how to resolve that.

  • No unlock required after ICS update

  • how to update to ics, i got unlocked version.

  • Pantech Burst Unlocked Android 2.3.5 ICS Update will lock the phone? Any one did ?

  • Just got updated to ICS, makes it look like a completely different phone. This phone is definitely worth what you pay for it.

  • Its unlocked.its awesome phone.just check ebay and how it works.u get best deals there.

  • is that unlocked version.. im very interested in buying..don't know how to contact the seller..never bought an item from ebay before..

  • but it from here bro

  • Love the phone i had it for a week and no complaints. The camera isn't bad like most say if they want a better one go spend 300 or 400 bucks for an 8mp phone but got this on ebay and im happy with the purchase plays hd videos good only thing is the battery isn't that good but what smartphone doesn't have a bad battery. Can't wait for ICS update

  • it has 1 gb RAM. i own one

  • the memory of this phone is 1gb

  • It's exactly 1gb RAM

  • anyone know the exact figure of the RAM of the pantech burst?

  • anyone can confirm the RAM of the pantech burst? Many say it is 512 and others 1Ghz. Can someone get me out of this question?

  • I crashed my Burst on my knee and dropped to trash because i hate this phone. So tired waiting for the f*** ICS ATT official update and XDA crew CM9. RIP Pantech BURST !!!

  • I hear this is a really fast phone and works really great.I can't wait to get mine next week.

  • 2 Weeks !!! Still want 2 CHNG :/

  • The phone is bought from ebay. Its a good one, the speed is damn good, does not hang itself unless you open too many apps. Pros- Good speed,RAM,touch is good. Cons-Screen is good but not gorilla glass one, weight is pretty less so need to be careful.( camera is neither so great but not so bad either)

  • Have been using this phone for a week now. Totally smooth experience, and battery life on Edge and Wi-Fi is more than I expected. On moderate use, I need to charge once every 30 hours or so. So far, only Temple Run seems to drain the battery. Default interface is quite nice and easy to use, and hence not loading custom rom, hoping for a ICS/JB update soon. The only downside for me is design, as I prefer a full-rectangular shape over the rounded one. I had read bad reviews about camera, since camera is not a priority for me so I went ahead with this model that doesn't have a mechanical camera button either. However, the test snaps (that I clicked in the evening light in my room) were pretty sharp. I guess there is some image stabilizer built-in. Front facing camera is not good though, being VGA. But, image is distortion free. Had good experience while playing 720p mkv videos on this phone. Scaling and decoding seems to be done by its capable hardware, so not a single frame was skipped. Nena Mark 2 scores are 52.7 fps. I guess they'll improve further with ICS/custom rom.

  • The Battery has damaged in less than 2 weeks, i hate this phone and the wrost is i has buyed without guarranty. I'm going for another phone.

  • Video recording is 3GP high quality at 19fps changing codec to mp4 or H.264 but the extension file is 3GP with any camera recording app, the camera is really bad for video, and battery durability sucks, i have already rooted and bloatware and unwanted apps uninstalled. Still waiting for ICS expecting to resolve that issues or any.

  • actually, no it isn't. I'm holding it in my hand right now. it's VGA. but it is a very nice device, but your info is wrong.

  • btw, it was confirmed by AT&T on March 22nd that it will get ICS in the coming months!!

  • How many bucks...i checked on ebay it is 229 dollar

  • I bought on eBay, I'm not in the states but you will have to unlock it.

  • Are u able to Put the android slide lock on this phone??

  • bro whr can i buy this.. actually m from india.. and i want to purchase this.. plss help

  • I have at&t and for 50 bucks this phone is wonderful. Speed- just as quick as my i5 laptop. Display- beautiful, but if that is what your looking for in a phone get the nexus. Overall- if your looking to sign a contract with it, there's no better phone for the money. Hope that helps to anyone sitting on the fence...

  • can anyone really tell me should i buy these or not & how is the speed of the net???????

  • going to grab this and i will unlock it here in the philippines, btw its 2 megapixel at the front cam not vga.

  • Will it available without the 2 year AT&T contract? Let Indian customer also get benefited by this device...

  • Actually it honestly looks most like a MyTouch 4g

  • Pantech Burst, defied my heart. Its really cheapest smartphone yet powerful device. I am wondering how can Indian customer can have this? Please consider my quest and revert soon as possible.

  • Doesn't look like having the curved screen on nexus s. Looking at it by comparing the images of the two, looks as though nexus s is wider.. Just my .02!
