AT&T has announced a new, cheap slider from Pantech that has a standard number pad on the front and a full, portrait, slide-out QWERTY keypad.The aptly-named Reveal also includes GPS services, 3G speed, and a new browser (Opera Mini, I believe – they were showing it off at CTIA). If you’re thinking of grabbing one, Pantech is giving away one Reveal a day for the next five days – all you have to do for your chance is become a fan on Facebook and leave a wall post. Otherwise, the Reveal will be running for $79.99 (or free) on a two-year contract.
