Pros:

The Pantech Jest has a compact pocket-friendly design with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. It has a shortcut taskbar, a great display, a 2.0-megapixel camera, a music player, stereo Bluetooth, and social-networking features. It's free with a contract.
The 2.0MP (megapixel) camera is a standout feature on this phone.

Cons:

The Pantech Jest's optical directional pad is not that responsive and can be annoying to use, and there's no other way to navigate the phone.
The display screen is a measly 2.6 inches diagonally.
