The Pantech Perception is the latest in the company’s lineup, bringing a competent feature set at an attractive price point.

Thread App for Android Review
Caller ID was a huge deal back in the day because it let you know who’s calling you. Thread for Android, which bills itself as the “caller ID reimagined” expands on the information, showing you not just the caller, but a whole host of content related to the person. Not only does the app show you who’s calling, it will display the caller’s latest Facebook and Twitter posts. On the same screen, you can also...
