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.

Pantech has just revealed its first-ever Android smartphone for the U.S., the Pantech Crossover. The Crossover is designed as an entry-level Android phone for AT&T. It has a slide-out keyboard, a 3.1-inch display, a 600 MHz processor, a 3-megapixel camera, GPS, and it ships with Android 2.2. It will also have Wi-Fi and a mobile hot-spot feature for up to five Wi-Fi-enabled devices. While we're not sure if the Crossover is as tough as the Casio G'zOne Commando, Pantech claims the Crossover has a durable design with rubberized corners that should withstand everyday drops and spills. The Crossover will be available for a very affordable $69.99 with a new two-year service agreement starting June 5.
