Continuing my tradition of my kids reviewing their own gadgets, tonight I present daughter April’s review of her cellphone: the Pantech Slate. Take it away, April!

I’ve had my AT&T Pantech Slate for about 3 months now. It has been an extremely reliable phone for my daily use.

The reason I picked out the Slate is because I love texting and this phone has a great key board that is very easy to use.

The negatives of texting on this phone is the inability to save text messages, and the necessity to delete texts after about 200 have collected in the inbox and outbox.

I use my phone on a day to day basis as my alarm clock, calendar, and address book. The Slate is not a particularly complex phone, which is perfect for me, yet it has a camera, video, messaging capabilities, IM and Email capabilities, Games and Apps, Bluetooth, a Calculator and more.

Another negative is the lack of ability to close the phone; the keyboard is always exposed so it is necessary to put it on “lock” when not in use; however, this is not a huge inconvenience. All in all I am very happy with my phone — it is one of the best I’ve ever had.

Great review, April. Thanks!
