  A class of solutions for phantom field corresponding to a generalized
k-essence lagrangian has been presented, employing a simple method which
provides the scope to explore many such. All the solutions having dynamical
state parameter are found to touch the magic line w = -1, asymptotically. The
solutions with constant equation of state can represent phantom, quitessence or
an ordinary scalar field cosmologies depending on the choice of a couple of
parameters of the theory. For w approximately equal to -1, quintessence and
phantom models are indistinguishable through the Hubble parameter. Finally,
inflation rather than big-rip has been found to be the generic feature of
phantom cosmology.
