Review: Pantech Ease
Browse
The Web browser on the Pantech Ease is a basic mobile browser from Opera. It's not the slowest I've seen, but it was slow enough that the screen would almost always lock itself before the page was loaded, which is an annoying problem with no solution in the settings menu. As one of the few apps in Easy Mode that relies on swiping gestures, the browser was difficult to navigate by finger. It was jerky and unresponsive to the touch. You can zoom out by pressing an on-screen button; the dedicated zoom keys don't work here. But you can only zoom out one step, which presents only a bit more of the Web page and renders all normal-sized text illegible. This phone is fine for browsing pages designed for mobile browsers, but though it can render full HTML pages, the experience isn't very good. If you want a real Web browser, buy a smartphone.
Customize
In the Easy Mode, there is little that you can customize. You can change the basic menu theme from white to black to gold. You can change the sound profiles depending on your situation. If the font is too big, you have three sizes to choose from. For the phone's Readout Mode, you can tell the phone for which types of alerts you'd like to hear it speak, and whether it should read texts aloud.
In Advanced Mode, there are far more options to customize. I imagine most buyers are considering this phone for its ease of use, so if you're interested in more options from the Pantech menu, the interface is exactly the same as the design on the Pantech Pursuit. You can read my Pursuit review to find out what you're missing if you want a more advanced experience from the Ease.
