There's a flood of smaller players coming in the mobile market. Big players like Nokia may still rule the roost, but now with the variety of phones available by the not-so-famous brands, the market is finally beginning to see beyond the hype.
Pantech, a new entrant in the Indian mobile market has already created a little stir in the market with their debut line of GSM mobile phones. We decided to look at what they had to offer, and were pleasantly surprised. First off, we present the Pantech G500, a high-budget clamshell phone that boasts of an inbuilt camera with flash and a high-resolution display like no other. Let's see if it lives up to its claims.
Package and Looks On opening the box you will find the main mobile unit, two batteries - one 780mAh Li-Ion battery, which is quite slim in size and the other 1000mAh Li-Ion battery, which is slightly bulkier than the former. Along with these, you will also find a mobile charger, data cable, mono headset for hands-free calls, a mini software CD and a thick manual.
The G500 is basically a clamshell phone sized at 85 x 41 x 22 mm (closed) and weighing 90 g, which doesn't look too different from the others at first look. It has dual LCD screens one on top of the external clam and the second inside the top shell. Now usually, one expects the external screen to be a cheap quality monochrome LCD or even a QLED screen at the most, that's where this phone is different. Both the LCD screens (external and internal) are 260,000 color, high definition LCD screens. While the internal screen has a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels, the external screen itself boasts a 128 x 128 pixel resolution, which is as much as most phones boast on their main display LCDs.
But it's not the size and the color support of the screen that makes it so amazing. The stellar screen clarity and crisp image quality are surely one of the best I've seen on a mobile unit. It's a joy to look at the screen, which is perfectly lit to the extent that even the smallest detail in images or the smallest text is clearly visible. It's a guarantee that heads will turn when you operate the phone in public, just because of its unmatched display.

Well, first of all you will need the cable and the instalation cd.
Once you got it, plug the cable in, install the software and then jack you phone in..
In the option menu, select detech phone and it will automatically detect which port the phone is in (usually in COM1 Port)..
If it is unable to detect the phone even after checking a few time, restart the computer and enter BIOS. The is an option there that disables the ports(usually under the Infared Port option). Enable it, save and start your computer.. It will definitely work..
The functions can be found in the manual that came with the installation cd or can be found after installing the software..
my pantech g500 was working well,but some water went into it now there is a problem in its display,could anybody tell where can i get it fixed in india
