Pros:

The Pantech Hotshot is thin and light to handle. Call quality is solid, and photos taken on its camera are surprisingly decent. It doesn't require a data plan.
Thin, lightweight design, Decent call quality, Good battery life.

Cons:

The Hotshot's processor is extremely laggy. The touch screen isn't sensitive, making texting, swiping, and pinch-to-zoom frustrating. If you want data, the network is slow.
Sluggish, Poor audio and video performance, Weak camera.
