First off, the device is really small. The keyboard is worlds better than the Helio Ocean, and while it might not be fair to compare it to the Ocean, it is more or less the same concept. 3G on here is such a pleasure, and while we&rsquo;re not talking about Windows Mobile 6 Professional, Standard works just fine for this little handset. Battery life is a concern, especially with a 3G radio, but since we just got it we don&rsquo;t have a real gage on battery performance. Voice quality and sound quality sounded crisp and clear as well.&quot;</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/spt/auto/1193509811.usr3.jpg" border="1" alt="" /></p><p>The BGR takes a look at the new dual slider from Pantech.&nbsp; There's a number of pictures of the phone, including a picture of it beside one of those BlackBerry things.&nbsp; All in all, it looks to be very well sized. I think this device will prove to be very popular.&nbsp; </p>
