Review: Pantech Marauder for Verizon Wireless

Aug 23, 2012, 4:00 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Pantech's Marauder is a slim and stylish slider that packs a punch. With Android 4.0, LTE 4G, and a cool 'Starter Mode' for Android newbs, the Marauder means business.

The Pantech Marauder targets messaging maniacs who need their QWERTY but don't want to lose out on sex appeal. It's a sideways slider that includes Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and 4G LTE in slim package. Do a hardware keyboard, modern smartphone operating system, and the fastest data possible make for a killer product? Phone Scoop digs in.
