Design
Under the hood, the
PN-820 features the
Windows Mobile for
Smartphones version
5.0 operating
system--a powerful
OS for a seemingly
low-profile
clamshell device.
Flip open the phone,
and you'll find a
large 240 x 320
color display and
support for a
whopping 65,000
colors. A generous,
full-color 1.07-inch
full-color
supplementary screen
on the outside of
the handset can
display incoming
call information,
battery life, signal
strength, graphics,
photos, and more.
The built-in
1.3-megapixel camera
lens is housed just
above the outside
display. Most of the
phone's features and
on-screen menus are
controlled by a
five-way center
button on the
handset's backlit
control pad, while
volume keys can be
found on the left
and camera/voice
keys on the right.
The PN-820 also
features a MiniSD
slot for expandable
memory. Bluetooth
support for
handsfree devices is
also included, while
the built-in stub
antenna ensures
crystal clear
calling. Lastly, USB
data connectivity is
built right into the
phone.
Calling and
Smartphone Features
The PN-820's calling
and Windows Mobile
smartphone functions
are designed to
provide an
integrated, seamless
experience. As a
phone, the PN-820
features all the
functionality folks
expect from a cell
phone, including a
handsfree
speakerphone,
polyphonic ringtones,
and picture caller
ID. Microsoft Office
Outlook Mobile
combines email,
calendar, contacts,
tasks, and notes
into a single
application that
seamlessly
integrates with the
PN-820's phone
functions.
Meanwhile, headsets,
car kits and other
wireless peripherals
can also be paired
with the unit via
Bluetooth.
Staying
productive on the
road is made
possible by the
Microsoft Office
Mobile suite, which
includes Word
Mobile, Excel
Mobile, and
PowerPoint Mobile.
The included File
Explorer application
makes it easy to
browse the files on
your PN-820.
Messaging and
Internet
The really big news
about the PN-820 is
that it supports
Verizon's
BroadbandAccess high
speed wireless data
service, allowing
you to get DSL
speeds wherever you
have broadband data
coverage. And what
can you do with all
that speed? Surf the
Web faster than ever
before using the
bundled Internet
Explorer
application, or log
into Pocket MSN and
check your Hotmail,
use MSN Messenger,
or browse the MSN
Mobile portal.
Robust SMS and MMS
functionality is
built into the
Windows Mobile
interface, too.
One of the most
important tools
bundled with the
PN-820 is Microsoft
ActiveSync, which
allows you to
quickly synchronize
your device's tasks,
calendars, email,
and contacts with
your desktop. You
also get Exchange
ActiveSync, an
application that
lets you synchronize
data with an
Exchange server.
Syncing can be done
wirelessly via
Bluetooth.
A generous
toolset ships with
the PN-820's Windows
software. Pocket
Outlook includes
to-do lists while
pocket versions of
Word and Excel are
included so you can
review documents on
the go. A
calculator, an alarm
clock, and a voice
memo recorder round
out the tools
package. Lastly, if
needed, the PN-820
can be used as a
modem for laptops
and PDAs, giving you
Internet access
whenever, and
wherever

The easy-to-use Windows
Mobile 5.0 interface.

Imaging and
Entertainment
Another great feature of
the PN-820 is that it
supports Windows Media
playback right out of
the box. With Windows
Media Player 10, users
can play video and audio
content in a variety of
formats, even purchased
music from "Plays For
Sure" supporting stores.
Save your songs to a
memory card with a
capacity that's right
for you. You can even
pause to take a call
without missing a beat.
The PN-820's built-in
camera has an integrated
flash and the ability to
take 1.3-megapixel
stills. While the camera
is great for taking
stills, it can also
function as a camcorder,
allowing you to capture
video to the unit's
memory. An integrated
media application
organizes your captured
photos and videos.
And last, but
certainly not least, the
PN-820 keeps the fun
going when you've got
some downtime with great
gaming ability.
Suggested Service
Options
To get the most from the
PN-820, you'll need to
choose two additional
service features on top
of a voice plan. First,
consider a Verizon
BroadbandAccess plan,
which also includes
lower-speed data access
in areas where broadband
service is not
available. If you are a
frequent SMS or MMS
messaging user, it's a
good idea to get an
Unlimited IN messaging
plan to avoid
pay-per-message charges.
