You see, some of us normal people need a phone to make actual phone calls. Why would I need a "smart phone" that includes a bunch of stuff I don't need, when I can have a simple cell phone that sends text messages and can make a phone call.
With this development, soon people will forget that cell phones are meant to be used as phones.
Also, I wouldn't pick any of those phones, hate the layout on Samsung. My choice has always been Nokia, because they are just so damned robust. The one I have now is about 5 years old and it's still kicking.
fohfoh:
I'm not a huge fan of the N series nokia.
Seriously though, after having a smart phone for a bit now, I don't really think they're that super amazing...

samsung strive. I wouldn't go with LG because it is well known they have bad batteries. Now i never heard about pantech.

I own an LG phone and it's nice. The battery lasts me 7 days without needing a charge. So that kind of shoots down your battery theory.
For the advice now. After reading and watching a hand full of review for the phones listed above I can say:
If you want a messaging phone or a phone just for making calls go with the LG Neon. It's reliable. The slide out QWERTY keyboard is spacious. A lot of room between keys in other words. All around it's decent. It has just about everything a standard phone has these days. The camera is just okay (Idk if you take photos or not you didn't specify.) It also has internet and that's about the key features for that.
Now if you want something to browse the web on I would suggest the LG Vu. It has Apple TV on it. Which streams live TV to your device which is cool. The micro SD is just behind the battery. Numbers on the virtual dial pad are big and easy to press. The virtual QWERTY keyboard is pretty nice. It could be a problem if you have huge fingers though. Though you would be able yo use the virtual dial pad to send messages if you wanted. It also has a FULL HTML browser. Which is AWESOME. Haha.
Otherwise for me in third would be the Samsung Strive. I'm not gonna go into detail about this phone because... I didn't find it very appealing. But that's my opinion along with the rest of said advice given to you from me.
That is my advice for you. If you have any questions about anything then let me know. I'll be happy to do more research for you.
Hope you have a good day/night.

And they do make actual phone calls. They also let you browse the internet. And they're no bigger than a regular phone, nor are they more expensive (for the "basic" smartphones at least, mine was included in my contract).
So why not get more for the same price?
