Review: Pantech Crux

Form Basics Extras Wrap-Up Comments 8

Is It Your Type? Body The Three S's Touch

Nov 17, 2010, 11:02 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Pantech's Crux offers good call quality, strong battery life, and solid build quality. Are those enough to overcome the goofy sliding lock design?

The Pantech Crux is a bit of a one-off device. It's a touch-screen based phone that has a trick slide-to-unlock hardware design that makes little sense. Despite the odd form factor, the Crux surprises with a capacitive display and a new user interface.
