AT&T today announced a new simple phone. Made by Korean Pantech, the Breeze is designed to “consider the needs of seniors or customers who have disabilities.” That being said, this clamshell is not about high-end features. Rather, it’s a simple and easy to use phone, which prides itself with such things as 3 quick-call keys, simplified menu, large font, and clear and loud speakerphone. In addition, there’s also VGA camera and Bluetooth on board, as well as instant messaging software and an email client.
Commenting on the Breeze’s announcement, Pantech’s VP of Marketing and Sales, Patrick Beattie, said that Breeze underscores the handset maker’s commitment to all levels of customers. “By incorporating AT&T’s socially responsible Universal Design model, this product speaks directly to people needing a down-to-earth handset that provides easy access to core features,” he added.
The Pantech Breeze is already available on AT&T for $49.99 on a two-year contract and with mail-in rebate of $30. More information is available on AT&T’s website.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
