Verizon Pantech Marauder Review

Online, September 1, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The Pantech Marauder is available at Verizon Wireless and available for free with a 2 year contract. With a ton of features, the Marauder is built for both beginners and experienced Android users. The Starter Mode gives the user 5 home screens and easy to organize apps and widgets. Standard Mode gives the user 7 home screens and more customizing options. Android Ice Cream Sandwich is the operating system, with a thin Pantech user interface layered on top. Most of the Android features are left untouched and the phone is very customizable. Inside is a 1.2GHz dual core Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 processor and 1GB of RAM, making the Pantech Marauder extremely fast and responsive. It runs on Verizon 4G LTE network so the internet loads in seconds. The screen is 3.8 inches with 480x800 pixel resolution and 260,000 color support, resulting in 246 ppi. The Marauder has a slide-out keyboard for the texting and email enthusiasts. It's a full 5 row QWERTY keyboard that has flat keys, so it's not great for those that like to touch by feel. However, the spacing is good so even those with big fingers shouldn't have a problem. The Marauder measures 5.07 by 2.57 by 0.46 inches and weighs 6.1 ounces, making it bulkier than other smart phones. On the back is a 5 megapixel camera with 720p HD video capture.

It is highly recommended to have a secure car mount to use the Pantech Marauder in the car. The Pantech Marauder ExoMount features the world's best suction technology so the user can mount a smartphone or GPS device to almost any nonporous flat surface - glass, plastic, metal, wood, and even drywall. The wide-jaw clamp easily accommodates devices with screens up to 5 inches and rotates the Pantech Marauder viewing angle.
Features:
• Mount the Pantech Marauder device to almost any nonporous flat surface - glass, plastic, metal, wood, and even drywall
• Polyurethane lined grip keeps the phone or GPS safe and secure

It's also recommended to have a hands free device like a Bluetooth speakerphone or headset. The Pantech Marauder ECO Sound V400 Wireless Bluetooth Car Kit is a must-have addition to your vehicle. The visor Bluetooth kit allows you to engage in hands-free conversations while driving, which increases the safety of you and your passengers in addition to being a legal requirement in certain States. Set up is easy and no tools are required. The visor kit keeps the V400 securely in place and out of your view while driving, and the soft-touch matte black finish gives the ECO Sound V400 a distinct appearance.
