Pantech Breeze-C520
If you are looking for an entry-level phone with a good-sized display and without a lot of weight, then the Pantech Breeze-C520 is for you. With a body that is configured to the popular clamshell design, the C520 is a great GSM phone that sports a screen that is easy to read and even easier to manipulate. There is even a feature that allows you to zoom in for larger display of the menus and text on the screen. Many users who spend their time squinting at the miniscule text display provided by other units will love the C520 for this reason alone.
Of course, there is more than just a great display going on here. The C520 also includes a VGA camera with automatic white balance control and a self-timer. The performance is great for an entry-level device and transferring the images is not the hassle you have with some other brands. Bluetooth technology is found here, which is almost a must these days. One nice feature is the hearing aid compatibility, something not found on all phones.
In spite of some of the great features on the C520, there is room for improvement. The standby and talk times are nothing to write home about. With only three hours of active talk time, this may not be the best fit for someone who is out of the office a lot and relies on a handheld device to stay in touch. Still, the C520 has a lot going for it and manages to have a decent price tag.
Pros
- Large display is very easy to read and use
- Hearing aid compatibility is a nice extra
- Decent camera
Cons
- Talk time and standby time are just average
- Speakerphone is good but not the best out there
- Memory capacity (21 MB built-in) is just okay
Overall
The Pantech Breeze-C520 is a unit solid enough to attract residential users looking for a basic phone. While a few things could have been done to make the C520 more appealing to a broader audience, there is good chance the larger display will help the unit to attract attention from some sectors of the consumer market
