$79 Pantech Reveal hits the streets, or you can win one

Pantech and AT&T kick off the holiday line up of quick messaging phones with the release of the sleek slider Reveal. One of the only phones I am aware of that has both number keys and qwerty keys always active, the Reveal is destined to become a hit with the texting crowd. The phone will cost $79.99 after 2-year contract, AT&T mail-in rebate.

Those looking to attempt scoop one of these phones for free can do so via Pantech’s contest on Facebook. To enter, simply become a fan of Pantech and make a Reveal-related post on the fan page wall. A new winner is chosen every day.

AT&T’s new HTML mobile browser and att.net home page are preloaded on the Pantech Reveal. The browser is reportedly very fast and should be a standout feature. Other features include 3G service, GPS (with available turn-by-turn directions for a monthly fee), Napster and eMusic compatible as well as video and still pictures. Pantech is sending out a review unit so check back in as I share my thoughts on this new gadget.
