The Pantech Breakout is a CDMA smartphone that runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It offers nearly 6 hours of talk time on a single charge, weighs 138 grams, and is available in black. Its primary features include a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a dedicated voice mail key, standard e-mail and instant messaging support, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless capabilities, expandable memory up to 32GB (an 8GB microSD card is included), dual cameras, and a document viewer. You can also download games and applications whenever from Google's app marketplace for extra entertainment and productivity.
