A smart, elegantly simple and clear design, coupled with a range of user-friendly, yet modern applications make a device that will give users the latest functionality and versatility from their mobile phone.
The Pantech Cruz cell phone comes pre-installed with a 1 GB microSD card that is expandable to 32 GB. Its quick keys allow access to the most frequent applications.

Aside from regular phone functionality, the Pantech Cruz cell phone allows many other channels of instant and asynchronous communication. Text messaging, picture, voice, and even video messaging comprise this handy device's range of abilities. Instant messaging via its mobile IM service, mobile E-mail, and mobile Web Email extend its capabilities for connecting socially.
Further, its social networking widget ensures users are never more than a push button away from single-point access to sites like Twitter, Facebook, or Myspace - plus over 50 feeds to their favorite news, sports and entertainment sites. The phone also permits normal HTML web browsing. Adding a whole dimension of wired communication, its Skype capability allows users to connect over this powerful, free, popular platform, to contact users in almost any type of online community, and one-on-one.
The Pantech Cruz cell phone serves up a healthy portion of media access as well, including V CAST Music with Rhapsody, which is a digital music download service that users can browse for their favorite albums and soundtracks; the service permits synching with a PC for convenient portable playlists. Also included, the Media Center allows users to download typical phone content to personalize their unity with wallpapers, ringtones, and games.
The Pantech Cruz cell phone utilizes Stereo Bluetooth technology to enable it to connect wirelessly with other electronic devices; this allows users to pass data to each other quickly and easily, such as business card information, photographs, or mp3 files for music or audio messages. It also permits Bluetooth-capable headsets and earpieces to enable hands-free communication, which is useful when driving or commuting. Interconnectivity with other modern devices is just as important as communicating with friends and family and this phone makes that convenient too.
On balance, the Pantech Cruz cell phone presents users with an easy, affordable, clean and elegant communications device. Part phone and part web device, this phone gives even new users easy confidence in navigating their ever-expanding communications options. With its large screen and ready access to today's most important functions, users can spend more time enjoying the features than trying to figure out complicated functions of higher-end, more expensive phones.
