The Pantech Crossover is a well-built entry-level Android smartphone for AT&T customers who want a physical keyboard.

I started my career with CNET all the way back in 2005, when the (original) Motorola Razrs were all the rage. Since then, I've written about everything from consumer electronics to internet culture for outlets like CNET, Engadget and Yahoo. Outside of work, I'm a big fan of baseball, board games, tabletop RPGs and improv comedy.
The Pantech Crossover looks like a durable handset at first glance, but it's not quite military-certified. Still, it'll withstand most bumps and bruises with its angled corners and textured back.
In addition to using the slide-out QWERTY keyboard, you can also choose to send a text with the virtual keyboard. The Crossover comes with Swype built in.
