The Pantech Hotshot Review (Verizon Wireless)

[MrAntGuy69]

Do they sell red cases for it anywhere?

[Pro9Gamer13]

its the hotshot , hot=red there fore its called a hot shot duh

[dfaiola18]

i like red!

[yoututber1798]

So is their wifi and is it free if their is?

[ExMxO59002]

My mom randomly bought me this today, lol

[Ackarproductions5]

@ExMxO59002 does it have wifi?

[ExMxO59002]

@Ackarproductions5 You have to pay the data plan to get it.

[Ackarproductions5]

does anyone know if u have to have the data plan to use the internet? in other words do you have to pay extra money to use the internet?

[Bopt0p]

@Ackarproductions5 no it doesnt require a data plan

[Ackarproductions5]

@Bopt0p so it has wifi?

[ExMxO59002]

@Ackarproductions5 You don't have to get it to get the phone, but you need a data plan to get internet.

[xxviciousbeautyxx]

I don't know why people want to always text so fast anyway, not a big deal if you have to take a few extra seconds to text.

[amikunmozzy]

I can please know how to take off the speech correct? it bothers the hell out out of me.

[254myers122]

is there wifi in it? and how well does the lock button work?

[Asianbeautyforever]

you do know when you take pictures you can change the settings to not automatically save.. thats what i did with mine.

[LickableElbows]

can someone get this back fast do u have to pay for the web and v cast give me lots of information i have this phone

[nosetackle]

@LickableElbows Yes. There is a set price per megabyte you download or information that is transferred through you're phone while connected to the web with the built-in browser.

[eotsday]

I just got this phone today and I need help with the texting part. Well, actually viewing the texts. You know how its shows the conversation between you and the person you're texting? Well for some reason (only for some of them and just the earliest texts) it stopped showing what I sent and just the other persons side of the conversation. Can you help?

[ItalianPrincess319]

@eotsday Yeah, its go to do with the memory. You're texts do include with memory space, they erase themselves, im getting this phone probably tomorrow (ordered yesterday) and i have the enV3 which does the same thing. So its normal.

[eotsday]

@ItalianPrincess319 Thanks! Explains everything! Then it doesn't have a lot of texting space =/

I've had this phone for a few days now and I love it

[bsmith9921]

I cant get my phone to screen to turn sideways anymore when i turn it while i am texting. Do you know how to fix that?

[BlueButterfly1020]

nice video! how many text messages can this phone hold in its internal memory?

[MeetHolly]

i have the same phone!

[CallistaPaige]

so you cant text with a full keybored while holding it upright like you did browsing the web??

[ItalianPrincess319]

@CallistaPaige I had the enVTOUCH which was the same way, not the full keyboard upright when texting, but full keyboard when on the internet. A lot of phones can relate to it.

[smiley121991]

can you set your music as ringtones?

[AReynolds3]

Honestly, I have this phone right now and I can't stand it. I'm a pretty fast with texting and most of the time, the screen isn't sensitive enough. I find myself having to text really slowly in order for the screen to respond. I also have to press down really hard sometimes for the screen to actually respond. It could just be my phone, but a friend of mine also the that hotshot and she complained of the same thing.

[WH33LER0]

its really nice

[ThaMsGirlz1]

is this phones touch screen heat sensitive or can you use you fingernails, pen/pencil, ect to type and whatever??

[XxEmpireLGxX]

How did you set it up to onto the screen that shows the button to get to the menu?

[Lumencia]

at 11:27, sportsfap lol

[AddictToMusic1]

How is the GPS (VZ Navigator) on this device, do you have to have the data plan to use it or download it or anything?

[aaronbassist146]

Wasn't really a 'review,' per-say, but it was definitely informative, and thank you SO much for uploading this. =)

[lilcutegirl4lif]

Oh wait just kidding I'm stupid(:

[lilcutegirl4lif]

How do you use the light sensor above the screen?

[DeclanJ42]

Half an hour!!!!!!!!!!?????????!!!!!!

[NaNattackaLpha]

how do u get that light in the top right corner of the phone to blink?

[sportsfan1100]

What do you mean?

[ItalianPrincess319]

@sportsfan1100 There is this light at the top right corner of the phone, almost looks like its blinking. Is it?

[StringsOfFire1]

@NaNattackaLpha there is no light on the corner. That is called a proximity sensor. The light is invisible to the eye. For example, take a camera and record your remote while pressing a button. Youll see the controller has "lights"

[Gibster881]

best review for this phone i have seen.

[101WormBook]

Great review, just what I was looking for - an overview of the phone's features. I'm trying to choose between three phones for my upgrade... Definitely leaning towards this one now!

[sportsfan1100]

I have gotten that before. There is a girl in my science class that says that as well. I also got from people that I looked like Fred!

[TheTMonty]

28:08 to 28:36 was the meat; the only part of the video you really needed in order to have a review. Try to keep it under three minutes next time. Tell us the phone's features, and then what you do and don't like about it, especially in terms of user interface. The rest of this video was a description of the box and you going through (nearly literally, though I didn't have time to check this) every menu selection in the phone's UI. Stick to the above and happy filming.

[sportsfan1100]

Thanks for the advice. This was my first review so I will defiantly take your word.

[mwk323]

@TheTMonty Nobody wants to watch a 30 second review...They want in-depth reviews and I think that he did a good job for an unboxing/review/acessory review

[TheTMonty]

Thirty... minutes?

[TheArly93]

This phone is a piece of shit i have it and there's nothing special about it im up grading to a Razor Droid, check out Amazon wireless there only $159.

[believeinjeans95]

does it have dual message view? llike you can see the conversation?

[sportsfan1100]

yes

[fKMotionzHD]

I just ordered this phone!

[SuperMonkeygirl19]

i have the same phone and idk if someone has told u this but when your phone is in camera mode you can change the setting from auto saving by touching the setting button and scrolling down to auto save and turning it off that way you can decide if you want to erase it or not. hope it helps!

[sock2905]

does it have wifi capability like if you are at your house and you have wifi at your house can you hook the phone up to your wifi and go on the internet for free?

[xaydaman93]

how many messages can it hold?



[sportsfan1100]

quite a lot but the more messages you have on the phone the slower it becomes

[sock2905]

can you like have a lock code like when you open it can you set up a code to open it like the iphone?

[sportsfan1100]

yes

[sock2905]

so does it have wifi capability like if you have wifi at your house, cam you hook it up to that and go on internet for free?

[joeyak34]

@sock2905 no wifi



[flangleguys]

@xxgreekgirl98 it doesnt have a facebook APP but if you click MY VERIZON you just click the facebook tab

[xxgreekgirl98]

@flangleguys i see, thankyou so much for answering my questions!

[elizabethpeacesiable]

can the backround of the phone be a personal photo

[Maxwell58SSC]

I have this phone... its quite good...but laggy.

[MultiMark77]

How is the battery life?



[derekphone10]

Can it go on facebook or YouTube with your wifi or can you go there without a wifi?

[derekphone10]

Can it go on Facebook without Internet connection, or with connection?

[cavell910]

Another question, are there any apps (games) pre-loaded on the phone, and if so while playing them are they free of charges?

[cavell910]

I have a question, to get onto the internet (facebook, youtube...) do you need wifi or a data plan?

[bellenoelangel1234]

I'm getting this phone in two days. :)

[Millionaire323]

im im getting this phone tomorrow. i text everyday all day.

[12Giordano12]

[captgetto27]

@12Giordano12 no it doesnt i asked that at the verizon store and they said its not wifi

[flangleguys]

@12Giordano12 no sadly it doesnt

[flangleguys]

@eddieprohaska they are saved by name

[flangleguys]

[xxgreekgirl98]

@flangleguys okaay thanks(: I do have that data plan for the $10 a month. Does the phone have an app for facebook?

[flangleguys]

@Phantomizetheninja. yes it should. it has 300 mb on it and comes with a 2 gb sd card

[PhantomizeTheNinja]

[xxgreekgirl98]

[sackworldboss]

hey im swithching from an env3 to this. i love to listen to music but dont text much. is this a good phone for these reccomedations

[sportsfan1100]

Yeah, that's mostly the reason why I got it.

[kingkid434]

@sportsfan1100 but you dont recommend it for txting ? im a big txter and thinkin of getting this?

[capitilizedpp]

do you recoomend me getting this phone since it will be my first phone

[sportsfan1100]

It depends, have you ever used a touch device like an itouch?

[Allsmilesforever8D]

Can the camera zoom in?

[sportsfan1100]

yes

[eddieprohaska]

for the messeging, are the texts are cluttered together like the old phones, or are they saved by name?

[poodle6298]

@eddieprohaska they are saved by name

[skateadv0cate]

What games does it come with?

[sportsfan1100]

8/10 overall, 7/10 for texting, 10/10 for music player, 9/10 for games.

[cheetahchick5]

I'm thinking of getting this phone so overall wht would you rate it out of a 10?

[1122baseball]

you should make more videos about your phone .....i want to know if i should get it or not



[1122baseball]

but the keyborad is very small though isnt it

[letsgo11fly]

i have the kin twom right not but i need to get a new phone cause mine broke... basically, would i like this phone? i dont rly care about the wifi.. but is the music player any good? do i need itunes for music? do u recommend any other phone? sry but someone pls reply back :(

[heyimgrace12]

HELP ! i reviecieve about 200 texts a day and send about 160-200 a day . WOULD THIS BE AN OKAY PHONE FOR ME ?  PLEAse reply

[sportsfan1100]

No, I would probably recommend a phone with a physical keyboard.

[1122baseball]

do u recommend this phone or the lg cosmo

i cant decide which one to get

[crazygirl5212]

@1122baseball lol im deciding between those 2 phones too!

[sportsfan1100]

I personally think you should get the LG cosmos since it has a physical keyboard

[Keeperkid9]

do you like this phone? because i get one this coming friday December 9th and i was wondering if it gets slow and does it come with a micro sd card or no

[sportsfan1100]

I actually like it a lot. There are times where the phone can be a little slow, but other than that it's actually pretty good. And yes it does come with a 2 gig sd card.

[JessicuhDenise]

how is the texting? im definitely considering this phone or the pantech jest 2 , but its the texting thats super important.

[sportsfan1100]

I said in the video that if you are a heavy texter, I wouldn't recommend it.

[JAyftW92]

i ordered this phone from Verizon on the 27 of Nov. and i still haven't got it... Verizon has bad service

[ILovesYou1352]

does*



[ILovesYou1352]

dies the cover come with it?

[MrZzz30]

Got the phone for free

[sportsfan1100]

Yeah me to. Did you get yours at radio shack?

[GeneralHoohah]

@MrZzz30 And as soon as you start putting aps on it, it will slow down to a crawl.

[sportsfan1100]

It actually doesn't slow down too much. Especially if you have an sd card and have everything saved to it.

[tlcacchise]

If someone was stalking you, they would totally have your number. haha. But thanks for the vid. I want a good phone with a good camera.. And I do text a lot but about the speed that you were texting so I think it should be fine. Are you still enjoying this phone?

[sportsfan1100]

Yeah but it can get annoying sometimes when your texting, but other than that I really enjoy it. The music player is amazing! It's just like an iPod!!!!

[tlcacchise]

@sportsfan1100 Thanks, it will either be this phone or the Cosmos touch. Not sure which one but thanks for replying so fast seeing that I am getting the phone tomorrow!! :)

[KT293]

I have 2 questions: What is the touchscreen like compared to an itouch? also, Is it hard to switch from a regular keyboard to a virtual keyboard? thanks!

[sportsfan1100]

Ok compared to the iTouch, It's not that good. But it still is pretty decent for a non smart phone. Secondly, it really isn't a hard switch from a physical keyboard to a virtual keyboard. I mean atleast for me since I had an iTouch and was used to it.

[colorperfect]

Thank you sportsfan1100.! This looks like a great phone,

[RandomnessNeverStops]

Hey it auto saved i think because you have Auto Save on on your settings.

[prettyboyswagin2011]

bro nice video i got the hotshot last week +) btw u look an awefull lot like fred but any way nice video

[tarheeldude10]

why doesnt it have a full keyboard when you hold it upright like it does on the internet instead of the abc keyboard

[KamAndCamStuff]

lol thats how my mom is

[BurkeFtw]

Does it have a flash? Are the pictures good? Easy to text with?

[sportsfan1100]

The camera does not have a flash, the pictures are pretty good if you are in good light, and It is pretty easy to text with. You can't text too fast with it or the phone wont pick it up.

[XXchocolatetouchXX]

It does not have wi-fi. I have this phone have had it for 3 full days now and its great. Nice review and just to say I wish it had wifi, and if it did I would love it so much more!

[sportsfan1100]

I know! If they ever make a sequel to the phone, one of the new features should defiantly be Wi-Fi

[XXchocolatetouchXX]

@sportsfan1100 Hopefully it comes out in 2 years and we can upgrade to that! Since I really dont want to pay data.. Unless they lower the price!

[sportsfan1100]

Same with me since my parents wont pay shit for me! LOL

[XXchocolatetouchXX]

@sportsfan1100 Yeah they makin me pay for it and I dont have the spare cash. So I will stick with this and im happy with it!!

[SweetBeautyBee]

Thanks for the review! Can you set a picture as the background on the main menu? And does the phone not have any real alarm tones?

[sportsfan1100]

I actually don't know if you can set a picture as your main background. But if I find out how to I will let you know. Also, there are 3 alarm tones on the phone. None of them I use since they aren't that great.

[SweetBeautyBee]

@sportsfan1100

Ok, thank you. :)

[XXchocolatetouchXX]

@sportsfan1100 You cannot set them on the main menu, just the unlock screen. That is why I just used the same background picture as the main menu pic so it looked better.

You are right, all the stock tones on this phone are very very bad. At least for a guy.

[coc0x68]

I'm only like 3 minutes into your video, but i was wondering if the touch screen/virtual keyboard is as slow as some of the reviews I've heard?

[sportsfan1100]

It can be slow at times, but it just takes some time getting used to.

[yoututber1798]

does this phone require a data package?

[sportsfan1100]

No, and that's the great feature about it and was one of the only reason I bought it. I wasn't allowed to buy a phone with one so I had like four options. This was probably the best one out of the four.

[yoututber1798]

@sportsfan1100 lol same here,i might get this phone for Christmas since it really looks like a smart phone.

[sportsfan1100]

yeah, I would defiantly recommend it.

[XXchocolatetouchXX]

@yoututber1798 No, although you can use a data package with it.
