Conclusion: We're mixed

While the Pantex Flex won't be mistaken for a cutting-edge smartphone, the budget Android model includes a unique "Easy Experience" designed for buyers who "get flustered by all the apps and worry moving to Android is going to be too intense," as Mobiledia puts it. "Think of it as software training wheels." Engadget says the Easy Experience "provides much of the same functionality that advanced smartphone users have come to expect, yet with a simple interface that novices should find much less daunting."

The Pantech Flex offers excellent performance and is a great value. Unfortunately, its dismal camera is a major turn-off.

The Pantech Flex for AT&T is a tremendous value for the money, with features and performance comparable with much pricier smartphones.

Its bargain price tag will help prospective buyers overlook the Pantech Flex's weaknesses, and those seeking Android Ice Cream Sandwich with training wheels will find its optional easy mode appealing.

If you get flustered by all the apps and worry moving to Android is going to be too intense, the Pantech Flex is a good option at an affordable price.

I am not an expert, comparing this phone to my last phone (Sprint HTC). I like Jellybean a lot more than Gingerbread. Battery life a lot better. Better coverage and call quality (don't know if it is the phone or provider). I like the Pantech.
