The Pantech Burst is blessed with 4G LTE, a terrific 4-inch Super AMOLED display, a great 5-megapixel camera, a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, interesting design touches, and a sweet $50 price tag.
Very fast 4G LTE speeds; Vivid Super AMOLED screen; Lock screen shortcuts and other welcome UI tweaks; Good overall performance

Cons

Pixels are visible in the display, The camera isn't great.
Poor quality from its camera
No word when it will get Ice Cream Sandwich (Android OS 4.0).
The Burst's call quality and speakerphone are disappointing, battery life is so-so, and you'll need a tool or a set of talons to remove the back cover.
Slow camera with fuzzy images indoors; Short battery life in 4G LTE areas
