Verizon's next 4G LTE enabled phone is expected to be the Pantech Breakout and unlike the just released Motorola DROID BIONIC, this handset gives up some of the bells and whistles in exchange for a more affordable price. If 4G is going to be what 3G is now, carriers will have to start offering 4G handsets that the crowd can afford
The official spec sheet
Droid Life was able to get its hand on the official spec sheet for the phone and we can tell you that the Pantech Breakout will have a 4 inch WVGA screen with a single-core 1GHz processor under the hood. A 5MP camera is on the rear capturing video at 720p, while a VGA shooter is in the front. Swipe to type app Swype is pre-installed and the Pantech custom UI runs over Android 2.3. The spec sheet shows that the phone will launch on all channels starting September 22nd. While no pricing information was revealed, we would expect to see the Pantech Breakout priced at $199.99 with a signed 2-year pact.
