Now that slider phones are back in the news, the all new Pantech Marauder Verizon can probably not go unnoticed. This 4G LTE handset offers potential buyers with a dual interface option tailored to suit individual preferences.
While the Starter Mode brings forth easy-to-use widgets for novice smartphone owners, the Standard Mode drags along a relatively customizable experience for accustomed users. Switching between the 2 modes should not be too much trouble as settings for contacts and other information are stored.
As far as the Pantech phone’s specifications are concerned, a dual core chipset ticking at 1.2GHz works in tandem with 1GB RAM to enable smooth web browsing and multitasking. It carries a virtual keypad along with a physical QWERTY keyboard sliding from beneath its display. On the connectivity front, the phone plays host to Bluetooth 3.0, DLNA and Wi-Fi.
The Android smartphone features Mobile Hotspot capability to share the network connection with up to 10 Wi-Fi enabled devices. It entails a microSD card slot for expanding the memory up to 32GB. Needless to mention, daily assistants like calendar, clock and weather are ready at hand. The device extends support to all Google services covering Gmail, Google Maps, Google+, and YouTube amongst others. It provides access to Google Play for downloading a range of applications.
The Pantech Marauder Verizon price and release date details have already arrived. It will set interested buyers back by $49.99 following a $50 mail-in rebate and a new 2-year customer agreement. It is expected to be made available via the carrier’s official site on August 2, that’s tomorrow.
