Dual-sliders aren’t exactly taking the handset market by storm, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t at least a handful of you out there that love having a keypad and keyboard on the same device. And, keeping the dream of hybrid keypad/keyboard devices alive, Pantech has just pushed their Pantech Duo 2 through the FCC.
The FCC filing shows that the Pantech Duo 2 sports GSM frequency support on the 850 and 1900Mhz bands, which makes AT&T essentially a lock to pick up the successor to the Pantech Duo. But, aside from having Bluetooth and five screws hidden under the battery, Pantech and the FCC are mum on what the Pantech Duo 2 will be bringing to the table.
As much as I like the idea of having a keypad and keyboard mated to the same device, the additional bulk that the hybrid design brings with it is going to keep me from using any hybrid keypad/keyboard device as my primary handset. Is anyone actually looking forward to the Pantech Duo 2? Sound off in the comments section.
