im switching to at&t pretty soon and i was looking looking for a phone thats either a slider or has a QWERTY keyboard cuz im bing on texting. i heard the sony ericsson is really bad for texting cuz the keys break. the onetech duo is a slider and it has a QWERTY keyboard.
so, im kinda indecisive bout this. i havent heard anything bout the pentech duo. does anyone know how it is?

DO NOT GET THE W580i!!! I had that phone before my duo and HATED it. I text a ton and the keys do break and I was reading the review on at&t site for the W580i and the common thing that's happening to texters is the 3 key cracking and the space button stopped working. which is exactly what happened to me!! So definently go with the pantech duo!!! I got that phone when my W580i broke and I am loving it! It's so much easier texting and it's great for a teen!
good luck =))
Yes, the keys do crack on the Sony w580i phone if you text on it a lot.
Go to phonescoop. com to read reviews on this phone. You will see the pros and cons listed.
From my point of view, I would not recommend this phone. I have heard mixed reviews. Some people absolutely hate the Duo because it malfunctioned on them or the sound has been horrible. Then they get a replacement and it is just the same. Other people say they have not had any problems. Maybe it is just luck. It is a 50/50 chance on if you will get one of the good Duo's.
pantech duo is pretty cool but i went with the LG shine & i wasnt disappointed!
