Pantech Breeze carried into AT&T stores via strong gust

It's a little late -- if you can call falling behind an unofficial, rumored timeline "late" -- but the Pantech Breeze has finally hit up AT&T's website for sale to the masses. Though the feature set leaves it a bit shy of the HTC phone of the same name, your hard-earned $49.99 will still buy you a pretty attractive clam with quadband EDGE, a VGA camera, Bluetooth, and the large buttons, text, and speed dials directly below the display that all tend to be hallmarks of phones for a... ahem, more mature audience. No bother; we really like the way this one looks, and the price won't break the bank.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

It's cute and actually the large kyes are good for texting. But bad feature set for a 2008 phone. No 3G, VGA camera????

It's an old-person phone.

I'm old myself. Over 30 is old by a lot of people's standards, LOL! And I don't like it. I can't live with no 3G on a carrier that does have 3G, and phone cameras need to be minimum 2.0 megapixels. Old people may want to use fast data and take decent pictures too.

How is this different than a normal phone, other than the speed dial buttons? It doesn't seem any more accessible for older people and it looks like it was carved out of a bar of soap. Go with a Jitterbug if you want an old-person phone. My grandmother has one and loves it because it doesn't have all of these features.
