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 \approx - 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 .
