AT&T LG Xenon Vs Pantech Impact Review
Which phone is better, the AT&T lg xenon or the pantech Impact ? Persoanlly, I prefer to the lg xenon, here is my reason. AT&T Cell phone Reviews
As we known, the two devices are quick message phones for AT&T at the same price,聽 they have the similar design and features. Though the lg xenon is a side-slider , and the impact is a nice chamshell, while both devices come with a sensitive touchscreena Qwerty keypad, also they comes with fresh colors. While the lg xenon looks cooler than the impact, it has a larger touchscreen easily type messages and emails fast on it, though its touchscreen may freeze sometime.聽 While the Impact offers a small screen, if you have big finger, I think it’s not easy to control on it.

In addtion, though the lg xenon is fatter than the pantech impact, it is lighter than the impact. Also I think the pantech is too slim, it is excellent for a girl who have small hands. But if you are the big hands, the lg xenon is really good choice. If you have different views, please tell us!

i bought this phone right after it came out because it looked so cool. i love that it was a flip phone with a full keyboard. the dialing pad is a touchscreen and EXTREMELY responsive!! just btw, know that you cant do much on the front screen. you can call, text, look at your address book,recent calls, and at&t music. the full qwerty keyboard is so cool. great big buttons that click well. there is a d-pad when you flip it open. the display on the main screen is all blue, which makes it a lil different but cool. the second screen (the bigger one) is got a really nice display and color. also, the text messaging so great! it is so much fun to text on this phone. the camera is really nice too. but know that you only get about 30 seconds of video time. and also know that you have to flip open the phone to turn on and off the phone because the power button is on the inside. and to get the speaker phone, you just flip open the phone and it automatically goes to speaker phone. the call quality is great on this phone. on the keyboard there is a key that takes you straight to the messaging page. btw, your messages are put into conversations which is really nice!! in conclusion, this phone is great! if your a parent looking to get your kid a phone, this is great!! im a 15 year old teenager so i text alot and it works great. and if your a kid just looking to get a new phone but cant decide, this is the one to go!! you wont be disappointed!! sorry if this review was really long lol
fuck that shit. the impact is tha way ta go nigga.
For those of you who want a phone to be a phone first with a few extras then this is a nice phone. However, I cannot recommend this phone until Pantech (1-800-962-8622) corrects the mistake that they have made in advertising this phone. Their web site (http://www.pantechusa.com/phones/impact) as well as every other web site advertising this phone including AT&T鈥檚 say鈥檚 that this phone has 鈥淪peaker-Independent Voice Commands鈥. IT DOES NOT HAVE THIS FEATURE. If you are like me and need true hands free system that can be used with Bluetooth or even the speaker phone this is not the phone. AT&T鈥檚 solution to this problem was to add their 鈥淰oice Dial鈥 to my account and graciously charge me $4.99 each month to dial *8, press talk, listen to prompt, say who I want to call, listen to some more prompts. But first I have to set up a separate contact list (limit of 20) on their web site because it does not use the contact list that you set up on your phone. This is not hands free, you can dial the number faster than you can go through this process.
If you have already purchased this phone please call Pantech and insist that they give us a software update or recall this phone. AT&T should pull it from their line until the problem is fixed. I believe that false advertisement is against the law. Even if you haven鈥檛 purchased the phone still call鈥 Don鈥檛 let Pantech and AT&T get by with this or it will only get worse.
Now for the phone itself, I really like this phone. I waited an additional two years before upgrading my phone from a Razr. So for four years the only way that I could talk was to use the speakerphone or Bluetooth because the ear piece was rotten. Call quality on this phone is excellent. It is almost like talking on a landline. With it having two stereo speakers the speakerphone is also excellent (phone has to be open to work). For you music lovers it does not have a headphone jack, you will have to use Bluetooth or an adaptor (I thought a headphone jack was standard anymore). It is a little heaver than the Razr but it fits nicely in the hand and pocket. The front of the phone has a small window and a key pad below. The numbers are easy to see and well spaced. They do have haptic feedback when pressed and you can adjust the sensitivity level and vibration strength of the keys. It does take a little bit of getting use to but it is really not too bad. You will need to get the protective film for this phone and I would also recommend a protective cover. They make a clear one.
You can enter 1,000 contacts with and with each contact you can enter 5 numbers, 2 e-mails, address, web URL and a memo if you save to phone. If you save to sim it is only 3 numbers and 1 e-mail. You can also group your contact and add a photo ID which will not show up on the front of the phone. The alarm which I find myself using for 5 min. cleanup warning in the classroom and for meds is quite loud and you can set it to repeat. You can choose from different ring tones and a single time, daily or weekend modes. The calendar works a lot like MS outlook calendar, nice. This phone also has a notepad, a voice memo recorder, a world clock, a calculator, a tip calculator, a unit converter, a stop watch, and a timer. There are 8 speed dial numbers. Remember this is not a smart phone but it is packed with organizational features. Another nice feature is that you can increase the font size and have two different font styles to pick from. This makes the phone very easy to read.
I did not purchase the phone for the camera so I will let some else speak to that. I did try it out thou and the phone has to be flipped opened to take the picture. The web interface is nice and comes up quickly and I did not experience any lag time during browsing. The screen however is a little small. But here again, I did not buy the phone for web browsing and will cancel that feature before my 30 days are up. I am not a big texter but I did find the key board easy to use. I like the toggle button better than the arrow keys even if it does take a little more room (personal taste).
If you do want to purchase the data package you can also watch TV clips or full length shows. I have it free for 30 days so I tried it out. I was very impressed; however the phone did get warm after 40 min. of use and took quite a while to cool down. I am not sure that the heat generated by this feature is good and on the thin circuit boards in these phones. I would not recommend using this feature very often not to mention the damage it is doing to your eyes. Just a thought.
I have been on the Phone with Pantech and AT&T since the 16th and the 鈥淪peaker-Independent Voice Commands鈥 issue has not been resolved. I have talked to several people at Pantech all of which promised to call me back. I am still waiting!!! As you can tell from above I like the phone, but I want was advertised which is one of the reasons that I purchased the phone. Please help me to convince Pantech and AT&T to fix this problem and call Pantech at (1-800-962-8622).
Update, just got off the phone with Alex at Pantech and the official line is that is was a mistake on the part of the advertisers or that perhaps AT&T remove this feature during the beta testing. The bottom line is that there probably will not be an update for this phone in the near future if ever. My phone is going back and I will start the process again of trying to find a phone with voice clarity, speed dial, Speaker-Independent Voice Commands, and the productivity features that I have come to expect on a phone. Any suggestions?
i tried out the LG Xenon at a local AT&T store and i thought the keys were to small and the phone is extremely slow.
I also tried th Pantech Impact and ended up with that phone because it is very similar to the Verizon EnV 3. This phone is great for teenagers like my self. The full QWERTY keyboard also helps to improve your typing on the computer. Promis
bahahah . i want the impact !
forget the ugly xenon !(:
im getting it for my birtdaaayy (:
whoot (:
im an att rep at radioshack and alot of people dont know this but i huge negitive thing about the pantech impact is that you can not use t9 on the external screen guys! that makes a huge difference. alot of our customers dont like it. just giving you a head up
Who ever wrote this review is completely wrong because the impact is obviously a clamshell and is not a touchscreen it has a touch keypad therefore I believe this is a completely bias review considering they don’t know anything about the impact
Ech, I think this blog owner need to thank for you reminding
my friend has this phone and absolutely HATES IT. she’s a teenager and hates it. its been two months since she’s gotten it, and it has shut down 23 times just today. more on other days. i DO NOT recommend this phone. its a BIG mistake.
I am 12 years old and juss got the Pantech. It IS the best phone out there so far. My mom has the iphone and honestly I think my phone is better than hers only because I have touchscreen and a full keyboard! I do recommend it to teenagers, because it is the perfect phone for them! (:
iight byeee (:
PS. The review up there about the Xeon is bull.. Pantech is sooo much better! READ THISS!!!!!
YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEND/RECIEVE PICTURES EVEN IF YOU HAVE INTERNET OR THE PLAN ON THE LG XEON. MY FRIENDS ALLL HAVE THE XEON AND CAN NO LONGER SEND PICTURES AND ALL OF THEM HAVE INTERNET. SOO YEAHH. Byeee (=
I just got the pantech Impact and i love it
I HATE THIS PHONE!!! when i first got it, the speakers did not work and the person on the other end of the call could not hear what i was saying. so i took it back and exchanged it for a new one. then, i started noticing the hanging-up problem that others mentioned which is irritating, and when the phone locks up when you get too many texts. now, the internal light on the phone does not respond when i open the device even when i press a button to try and get it to light up. i then took the battery out and pur it back in, and the light STILL did not respond. do not buy this phone. i hate it. its a piece of junk and i want my money back!!!
I went from the Xenon to the Impact, and I have to say I love both phones. I’m still figuring out how to customize the Impact, like ringtones for each caller…. anyone have any clues on that?
With my Xenon everything was so easy to figure out, I feel like the Impact is keeping secrets from me!
I NEVER had any trouble with my Xenon–taking or sending pics, texts, web browsing, NOTHING! I LOVED THAT PHONE!
Still getting to know my Impact, but I’m really liking it so far.
Ok first off people, you CAN use the T9 keyboard on the Pantech Impact (not that I really do but I have before)…I know people who have the Xenon and it’s not really that great. The Impact is a much better choice. It is great for heavy txters like myself but it’s light and easy to carry around. Overall, buy the Impact!!!
ok. ik this is about the imapct and the xenon but now i am in desprite help!!! should i get the impact or the new pantech pursuit???
i personally have the pantech and in love with it it is great for txt messaging especially in scholl bec you dont hav to worry about htting 2 keys at once my sister has the xenon and has a bunch of issues it freezes up tthe rim around the touchscreen (colored part) is peeling off and it freezes all the time and has terrible battery life pantech is the way to go in my oppinion
I just got the Pantech Impact and it is great! I absolutely love it! It is by far the best phone I’ve had, and i’ve had a TON of phones! Haha! Well, anyway, Impact is better than the Xenon because the touch screen is easier and its easier to type on the QWERTY keyboard. My friend has the Xenon and I looked around on the features and quality, etc. and Impact is better, in my opinion. No offense intended to LG because I love LG technology! Its great value! Although, Pantech is great, as well! But, the Impact beats the Xenon.
From someone who owns both phones, I have to say the Impact is way better. The Impact has a bigger, more comfortable to use keyboard. The Xenon has a Touch Screen and all, but I found the keyboard too cramped. Both are great, but I would only get the Xenon if you’re really into getting a Touch Screen phone. I found the Impact to be more functional. Plus, I think the Impact looks better too.
I am getting new phone in 1 or 2 days and based on these reviews im really wanting the impact!!!!!!! Either this or samsung impression. Any advise on which 1??
i had the xenon and i recently switched to the impact. i do have to say that the xenon is easier to navigate but the impact in general is a better phone. the xenon would freeze up on me and randomly turn off. the impact has none of those problems. yet the impact is harder to figure things out but so far i have figured it all out just by asking simple

I am getting the pantech impact tomarrow and I am really excited at first I was looking at the xenon but the full keyboard buttons were were to small on the pantech the buttons are much bigger and nicer and just so you know everyone who is complaining about having to open the phone to take pictures is annoying me because you can only see pics on the inside screen so it obviously has to be opened.
I just got the impact last week and it is working great. Like Katie I was first interested in the xenon but it seemed it won’t break easier if I dropped it an the full keyboard buttons were kind of odd. I am really pleased with my impact and would recomand it to tennagers who do alot of texting. I love the conversational texting feature!
Oops I meant would break easier!
I have the impact beacause it was affordable and it didnt seem to have many poor reviews other than people who dont like flip opens. I orignally wanted the Lg xenon, but i knew about 4 or 5 other kids at school who had one and they all ended up going through a couple of them or replacing it with something better, the screens would freeze and they couldnt do anything with their phone, I DONT WANT TO GET STUCK SOMEWHERE AND NOT HAVE A PHONE! OR NOT BE ABLE TO CALL 911 BECAUSE MY PHONE SCREEN IS FREEZING! but seriously my friends really steered me away from the xenon and im so glad because once you get used to the big comfy keyboard, its a lovely phone, i dont use the front too much because its a little too sensitive, but good thing is you can change sensitivity and vibration for the front, but i like usuing the inside better. I love love love that on a call you can have it on speaker by having it open the close for privacy! i paid about 110$ for this phone and got 100$ back in the mail about 3 weeks after this phone came out. im a 16 yr old highschool jr and even tho its not that fancy its not overpriced by any means and its actually functional, so its a perfect phone for kids in middle/high school/college. and for some reason i get ALOT of compliments on it
I have the xenon. I got it about 8 months ago and it broke the screen wont turn on the keys light up but that’s it. I’m not sure what happened I haven’t dropped it I keep it charged, it hasn’t come in contact with water, It just crapped out on me I’m convinced its because its a slider everyone I know who has had a slider says they have trouble with the screens not responding.. Any way I’m getting the Pantech Impact hopefully I will be more impressed with this phone. Its sad I had high hope for the LG Xenon.
