Browse

The Web browser is probably the most disappointing feature on the Pantech Pursuit, which is a shame because the phone relies on the browser for numerous social networking shortcuts. The browser is a simple mobile affair. It will try to render full HTML, but it can hardly manage mobile sites, let alone larger pages. Navigating a Web page is a real chore. The touchscreen that was so impressive in every other app, but it falls flat on its face in the Web browser. There's no kinetic scrolling, so you'll be flicking pages multiple times to get from top to bottom. Motion was jerky and it was easy to accidentally press a link. There's a simple zoom that backs up one zoom level to give a wider view, but text is rendered illegible when zoomed out, and it was still difficult to navigate large pages.

 

Customize

There are lots of customization options on the Pantech Pursuit. Besides the main screens that I've discussed, with their apps and favorite shortcuts, there are other ways to customize the device. You can change the theme to three different color schemes, including one that is mostly white text on a black background, and one that is the inverse. You can customize the shortcuts in the Drawing Commander and the Shake control. You can tweak sounds and notifications, as well, and set up different calling profiles so you'll have different sound effects in the office than you'll have outside, for instance. These are great features, and I've hardly seen a feature phone with so many custom options.
