Review: Pantech Ease
Making phone calls on the Pantech Ease is fairly simple, but could be easier. The phone dialer uses nice, large number keys, and the touch screen did a fine job registering my taps while I dialed. The phone also searches your contact list as you dial a number. I wish the keyboard got more involved. I'd like to be able to start typing a name from the main screen to search my contact list, or even enter a name on the dialpad.
The search feature on the contact list is also somewhat dumb. From the main list, pressing a letter key will jump you to that letter in the address book. Type "P", then "H", for instance, and you end up at the "H" section. You can tap a button to search the address book. Instead of searching for names while you type, you have to enter a name first, then the phone will search for it. But it will only search names as they are displayed. Search for "Berne" and you'll find me, but search for "Philip," and I won't appear. That's a flaw that needs to be fixed.
Once you're in a call, the phone presents a few buttons for calling features. You can turn on the speaker, mute the call or put your caller on hold. By pressing the Keypad button, you can open the number keys and dial a third party. Then you can swap between calls or press a link button on screen to join them for a conference. All pretty easy stuff.
