Latest phones and cell review

Featuring mobile web browser from Opera, AT&T will offer Pantech Reveal, Impact, Samsung Mythic and Flight by the end of this year. Both Samsung models will be available in November, while the Pantech Reveal will be available from October 18th.

On shelves October 18 in red and blue, Pantech Reveal is a slim and snappy slider that features an open-faced numeric keypad on the front of the phone which slides up to uncover a full keyboard underneath. Uniquely, both sets of keys stay active simultaneously, giving users fast access to numbers and letters at the same time.

Pantech Impact features an OLED touch screen that lets users send text messages, make calls, and control their music library without having to open the phone. Impact’s screen features haptic controls which register each key-press with a soft, tactile buzz. A sideways flip of the phone reveals a full physical keyboard and a second display screen, allowing for a fuller experience when typing longer messages.

Featuring a 3.3-inch touch screen, Samsung Mythic will be available in black in November. With the swipe of a finger you are a touch away from your favorite apps including AT&T Navigator, AT&T Social Net, att.net and more. Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface allows for quick access to your favorite features and has specially designed widgets to customize and personalize the way you use your phone. The Samsung Mythic should be sold for $199.99 after $50 rebate when available.

Similar to Pantech Reveal, Samsung Flight has a vertical sliding form factor, with full keyboard underneath. The main display features a unique user interface which provides one-touch access to functions like shortcuts, favorites and messaging. The Flight, available in red and silver color options, will be available in November for $99.99 after $50 rebate.
