			<title><![CDATA[HTC Tilt 2 and HTC Pure WinMo 6.5 Phones Arrive on AT&T]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/10/500x_AT_T-Tilt-Pure.jpg" class="left image500" width="500" /><a href="http://gizmodo.com/search/WinMo%206.5">Windows Mobile 6.5</a> rolls-out tomorrow, so expect to hear about a bunch of new handsets this week. Getting in early, AT&T has gotten official with its versions of HTC's <a href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/htc-touch-pro2/">TouchPro 2</a> (<a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #tilt2" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/tilt2/">Tilt 2</a>; shown left) and <a href="http://gizmodo.com/search/Touch%20Diamond2">Touch Diamond2</a> (Pure).</p>
<p>Both phones use an enhanced TouchFLO 3D interface on top of <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #winmo65" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/winmo65/">WinMo 6.5</a>, and here's how each breaks down:</p>
<p>The Tilt 2 is a QWERTY slider with "tilting" 3.6-inch WVGA touchscreen, dual speakers/microphones (with noise cancellation), and 3.2-megapixel camera. AT&T says it will be available in the coming weeks for $300 (after $50 rebate, with 2 year contract).</p>
<p>The Pure updates the Diamond2's look, and has a 3.2-inch WVGA touch screen, 5-megapixel autofocus camera, expandable memory, accelerometer, and ambient light sensor. It's available now for $150 (after $50 rebate, with 2 year contract).</p>
<h2>Four New Opera-Powered Browser Phones</h2>
<br>
Meanwhile, four new browser phones are also hitting AT&T, and they're the first to come pre-loaded with its new mobile browser. You'll be able to access the greater Internet (using data compression from Opera Software), and bookmarks can be created on the phone itself, or received from a laptop/desktop via att.net. The browser also has quick access to location-aware info (weather, restaurants, traffic, etc) and headline, sports and entertainment news.
<p><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/10/ATTBrowserPhones.jpg" width="500" height="313"></p>
<p><strong><a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #samsungmythic" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/samsungmythic/">Samsung Mythic</a>:</strong> A 3.3-inch touchscreen-only handset with Samsung's TouchWiz interface and access to AT&T Mobile TV, AT&T Navigator, AT&T Social Net, and att.net. Available in black come November for $200 (after $50 rebate; with 2 year contract). Pictured far-left.</p>
<p><strong><a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #samsungflight" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/samsungflight/">Samsung Flight</a>:</strong> A Vertical QWERTY slider with touchscreen geared for one-handed instant messaging. Available in red or silver in November: $100 (after $50 rebate; with 2 year contract). Pictured center.</p>
<p><strong><a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #pantechreveal" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/pantechreveal/">Pantech Reveal</a>:</strong> Arrives on October 18, and has a candy-bar style slide-down QWERTY keypad underneath a dedicated number pad. The Reveal is also 3G and GPS-equipped (with AT&T Navigator). No pricing/availability yet. Pictured far-right.</p>
<p><strong><a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #pantechimpact" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/pantechimpact/">Pantech Impact</a>:</strong> OLED touchscreen with haptic controls (you'll feel a soft, tactile buzz). Flipping the phone sideways reveals a QWERTY keyboard and second display. Will have tri-band 3G and be available in pink or blue. Again, stay tuned for pricing/availability. (Not pictured).</p>

Sure, it puts worldwide communication in your pocket. But can it <em>recognize wind</em>?</p>

<p>And no, we don't mean wind-microphone attenuation. We mean, can it recognize how hard you are blowing into the phone? Because the IM-S410 features "Wind Recognition" that allows you navigate photos, videos and games by blowing into the phone.</p>
<p>For instance, in a bundled game, you can blow on a flower to watch its pedals float away. During a call, you can blow into the mic to send your companion an emoticon (what were you thinking?). Or, if we're reading the translation correctly, you can even blow into the phone to take pictures&mdash;which might actually cause less shaking than pushing a button.</p>
<p>There are, of course, other features to the IM-S410/S410K. But we're just concerned with the ones that blow.

			<title><![CDATA[Pantech Slate World's Thinnest QWERTY Phone, Slim Everywhere Else Too]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2008/10/340x_pantechslate.jpg" class="left image340" width="340" />Pantech's Slate is billing itself as the world's thinnest QWERTY phone, which is true in more ways than one. The feature set is pretty anorexic&mdash;a 1.3-megapixel camera should not be a bullet point&mdash;but it's really cheap too, only $50 with a two-year contract, so it's perfect if you want the absolute cheapest, most stripped down texting device possible on AT&T.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>PANTECH AND AT&T DEBUT “WORLD’S THINNEST QWERTY KEYBOARD” HANDSET</p>
<p>New <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #pantechslate" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/pantechslate/">Pantech Slate</a> Makes Texting and Emailing Effortless;<br>
Part of AT&T’s New Line of Quick Messaging Phones</p>
<p>ATLANTA – Oct. 29, 2008 – Pantech Wireless, Inc., – the U.S.-based subsidiary of Pantech Group, one of Korea’s largest mobile phone manufacturers – today announced the availability of the “World’s Thinnest QWERTY Keyboard” handset, the Pantech Slate. Supporting AT&T’s new line of quick messaging devices,Slate, measuring less than one centimeter deep and sporting a premium build, is custom-made for sending texts and pictures, and easily accessing instant messaging and email services at an attractive price.</p>
<p>Targeting text fanatics and trend conscious consumers, Slate offers one of the simplest messaging experiences on the market. Now customers of any level can enjoy the convenience of a full QWERTY keyboard without having to sacrifice cost or size. By incorporating raised and tactile buttons, a colorful and easy-to-read screen, and a rubberized back panel for comfort gripping, sending pictures and messages on-the-go has never been easier. A contemporary style phone, Slate is designed to disappear easily into a pocket or purse, yet impress friends when it’s out.</p>
<p>Featured in black and royal blue to compliment its sophisticated form-factor,<br>
Slate offers:</p>
<p>* Immediate and simple access to a range of messaging services, including text messaging, multimedia messaging, instant messaging, and email<br>
* Multimedia functionality including support of AT&T’s MEdia Net™ and custom content<br>
* Bluetooth®<br>
* Video recording and picture taking with a 1.3 megapixel camera</p>
<p>“We are proud to bring yet another design first to Pantech customers,” said Patrick Beattie, vice president of sales and marketing for Pantech Wireless, Inc. “Experience shows that users want increasingly unique devices that are easy to use. The Slate, debuting as the world’s thinnest phone with a full QWERTY keypad, ushers in a new level of style and convenience for customers who need to text and email.”</p>
<p>Slate joins a long line of Pantech handsets which showcase the company’s dedication to creating leading-edge products. This new messaging master follows numerous benchmark devices, including the C3b, “the world’s smallest camera flip phone;” the Pantech duo and Matrix, both unique dual-sliding, double-keyboard handsets; and the Pantech Breeze, a mobile phone specifically designed for users needing an uncomplicated way to stay in touch with the important people in their lives.</p>

			<title><![CDATA[Lightning Review: Pantech Matrix Dual Slider Cellphone]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><a rel="lytebox" href="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2008/10/pantech_matrix_0006.jpg"><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/10/pantech_matrix_0006.jpg" class="left image500" width="500" /></a><strong>The Gadget:</strong> Pantech's Matrix dual sliding phone was just announced today on the AT&T network. Unlike last year's WInMo-running <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphones/pantech-duo-dual+slider-coming-to-att-300082.php">Pantech Duo</a>, the Matrix opts for a more straightforward dumbphone interface while adding 3G HSDPA, GPS and a slick looking design into the mix.<br>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
galleryPost('pantechmatrix', 3, '');
</script></p>
<p><strong>The Price:</strong> $80 (after two year contract)</p>
<p><strong>The Verdict:</strong> For an $80 phone, the <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #pantechmatrix" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/pantechmatrix/">Pantech Matrix</a> is really good deal. Pantech could have skimped on the build quality and pushed out a cheap, flimsy phone, but instead created a product that feels solid and slides smoothly in any direction. Despite being about an inch thick, the Matrix doesn't feel oversized&mdash;they made it as narrow and short as possible so that it doesn't feel too cumbersome. As a result, the Matrix sits nicely in the hand, and when the backlit keyboard is exposed, it almost feels sleek. I really like the 0-9 keypad, as its flat design and glowing numbers gives it a clean look. And though buttons aren't physically separated, each one has a bit of a bubble on it that gives a nice click when you press down.</p>
<p>Call quality is crystal clear and signal strength is never a problem wherever I'm at in San Francisco. The microSD port allows for memory expansion for files like photos or mp3s. The non-smartphone OS is responsive and well organized, suiting a phone like this well.</p>
<p>Some features aren't as powerful or developed as they could be, but given the price, it's understandable. It only has a 1.3 MP camera, and doesn't have much in the way of an internet browser or media player. But that's not what Pantech is focused on with the Matrix. This is a phone for texters and emailers, and as a result, it has most major IM clients preinstalled, and preconfigured access for Yahoo, AOL and Hotmail (No preconfigured Gmail?! Hello, 1997!). GPS features are also limited to AT&T's TeleNav subscription service.</p>
<p>But there are also features which are inexcusably lacking. My biggest complaint lies with the keyboard. It's not that it's too small as much as it's that the buttons are too mushy and flush with the surface. Sometimes you push a button down and there's no tactile response; and each button seems to feel a little different which doesn't help the familiarity factor. If buttons were just a tad more distinguishable and clicky, they keyboard would be perfect. The soft keys and call/end buttons feel a little small and understated on the front of the phone, undermined by the (admittedly cool-looking) circular layout.</p>
<p>The bottom line is this: the Pantech Matrix is an inexpensive, multi-functional phone that does more good than bad. If you can work with the flawed keyboard and accept that its not a multimedia powerhouse, you might be impressed with what it does well&mdash;call and message.</p>

			<title><![CDATA[Pantech Matrix Dual Sliding Phone Has More Buttons Than Sense]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2008/10/340x_pantech.jpg" class="left image340" width="340" />Formed from the same genetic ooze as Pantech's Slide Duo smartphone and rebranded <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #helioocean" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/helioocean/">Helio Ocean</a> handset, the Matrix is a mildly frustrating device: spec'd with the best, but dressed in the worst. An HSDPA-enabled handset with GPS, a full QWERTY keyboard in addition to a dialpad, and two cameras should have the software to leverage the hardware, but AT&T and Pantech have chosen to stick with an in-house OS rather than opt for <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #windowsmobile" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/windowsmobile/">Windows Mobile</a> as they did with the Duo QWERTY smartphone. Still, it doesn't look like a bad feature phone for people who message more than they talk, and it's available today at AT&T stores.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="breeze100.jpg" src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/05/breeze100.jpg" width="100" height="367" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"/>AT&T's geezerphone, the Pantech Breeze, is designed with the elderly in mind. The Breeze has three big speed-dial buttons, simple menus, a loud speakerphone and large font. Now you can hear Gladys's mahjong story and read Morty's steamy text messages from anywhere in Del Boca Vista. A step up from the <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphones/jitterbug-cellphones-for-the-old-165624.php">Jitterbug</a> and the <a href="http://gizmodo.com/374612/claritylife-phone-good-for-me-and-my-momma">ClarityLife</a>, other cellphones for <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #theolds" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #theolds" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/theolds/">the olds</a>, it has a camera to snap pictures of your grandkids, or the carpet while you're figuring out how to make a call. The Breeze sells for $70 up front with a two-year contract, or $155 if you do pay-as-you-go, which is a good option if you don't know where you'll be three weeks from now. Bigger pics and press release after the jump. [<a href="http://www.wireless.att.com/home/">AT&T</a>]</p>

</p><blockquote>AT&T AND PANTECH MAKE USING A MOBILE PHONE A BREEZE  
FOR CUSTOMERS 
 
New Phone Focused on Ultimate Ease-of-Use Now Available Nationwide 
 
SAN ANTONIO, May 27, 2008 &mdash; If you are an experienced mobile phone user, the ins and outs 
of wireless devices are second nature. For first-time phone owners, simplicity and ease-of-use 
are more important than ever. AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) and Pantech Wireless Inc. today announced 
the Pantech Breeze™ from AT&T. Available in all company-owned stores and online beginning  
May 27, the Pantech Breeze is an ideal device for a wide range of users, from novice or first- 
time mobile phone owners to customers looking to simplify the overall user experience.  
 
At its core, the Pantech Breeze is an uncomplicated mobile phone, specifically designed for 
people needing an easy way to stay in touch with friends, caregivers and loved ones. From its 
clean and uncluttered design to its simplified menus, oversized display with large keypad and 
quick-call keys, the Pantech Breeze includes a host of convenient features in a comfortable, 
modern design. 
 
The Pantech Breeze is the direct result of AT&T and Pantech's collaboration to build a device on 
the principles of Universal Design &mdash; the practice of designing products and applications that are 
usable by the most customers possible. AT&T recently published the company's approach to 
Universal Design to encourage application developers and handset manufacturers to consider 
the needs of seniors or customers who have disabilities when creating products and services. 
 
 
 
"Universal Design helps define important design criteria to meet the wants and needs of as many 
of our customers as possible," said Carlton Hill, vice president of Product Management, Voice  
Products and Affiliate Marketing for AT&T's wireless operations. "The Pantech Breeze is a result 
of our efforts to meet these criteria and offer a great-looking phone that's a breeze to use for 
everyone &mdash; from tweens to great-grandparents."  
 
The Pantech Breeze takes into account many of the design principles set forth in AT&T's 
approach to Universal Design:  
• 1-2-3 Quick-Call Keys &mdash; Three pre-programmable quick-call buttons are located 
below the screen &mdash; users can easily select one of the three quick-call contacts and 
press the send button to start a call. 
• Simplified Menu &mdash; Navigating the phone's features is trouble-free with the simplified 
"breeze menu," which prioritizes the features that customers want to access most. 
• Large Font &mdash; Menu screens on the Pantech Breeze use a highly visible large font. 
Additionally, the font of SMS messages is enlarged and the date and time of messages 
sent is at the beginning rather than at the end of a message. 
• Easy-to-Use Buttons &mdash; The oversized buttons on the device respond with a tactile 
click when pressed, and the amount of time the keys remain illuminated after use is 
extended. 
• Clear and Loud Speakerphone &mdash; A large, dedicated button starts and stops 
speakerphone use. 
• Camera &mdash; A dedicated hard key for the camera brings up camera options "take a 
picture" and "photo album" to give users easy access to useable camera functions. 
• Audible Keys &mdash; An option to have audio accompany numeric keystrokes makes it 
easy to know which buttons have been pressed, resulting in mistake-free dialing for 
those with limited sight.  
 
 
 
In addition to these key design features, the Pantech Breeze is a powerful phone. The product is 
a GSM quad-band world device, able to make voice calls in more than 200 countries and access 
data and send messages in more than 145. The Pantech Breeze features a talk time of up to 
three hours and up to 10 hours of standby time. Full messaging, camera and video capabilities, 
Bluetooth® compatibility and tools such as an alarm clock, notepad, calendar and calculator are 
included. 
 
"The Pantech Breeze is a unique and important target product for us, one that underscores our 
commitment to all levels of customers," said Patrick Beattie, vice president of Marketing and 
Sales at Pantech Wireless Inc. "By incorporating AT&T's socially responsible Universal Design 
model, this product speaks directly to people needing a down-to-earth handset that provides 
easy access to core features."  
 
The Pantech Breeze will be available May 27 at select AT&T company-owned stores and online 
at www.wireless.att.com. The Pantech Breeze is $39.99 after a two-year service agreement and 
a $30 mail-in rebate or $124.99 after a $30 mail-in rebate for customers who prefer to use 
AT&T's Pick Your Plan or Pay As You Go GoPhone® prepaid plans. </blockquote>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Will You Be Using One of These Phones in 2010?]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/03/korean-concept-phone.jpg" class="left image340" width="340" />What phone will you be using in the far off age of 2010? Along with our flying cars and robot slaves, you could be sporting one of these concept phone designs born out of a partnership between phone company Pantech (Sky Premium) and Korean university students. Pantech has a reputation for <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphones/pantech-concept-phones-make-rare-appearance-at-ctia-249015.php">wacky concepts</a> that were never intended for production, but these designs seem to be a little out there&mdash;even for them. Still, would you trade in your current cellphone for one of these "phones of the future?"

			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/10/DSC01244-new.jpg" class="left image340" width="340" />I got the chance to give the <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphones/pantech-duo-c810-dual-slider-now-rocks-the-att-casbah-316108.php">Pantech Duo</a> a spin, or rather a slide, and haven't been able to put it down. AT&T's newest Windows Mobile phone has an attractive, glossy gray finish, but it's the double keyboards that really steal the show.<br>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
galleryPost('PantechDuo', 8, '');
</script></p>

<p>As fans of the Helio Ocean (the Duo's genetic sibling) can tell you, the snappy sliding action on the handset is addictive. Though the two-way slider is a bit hefty at about 0.8 inches thick, it feels more compact than the Ocean. Both keyboards on the Duo are roomy, but the flat keys on the QWERTY keypad are a little harder to type on than the comfier Ocean. I also found the directional pad a bit cramped and ended up tapping the wrong way one too many times.</p>
<p>According to AT&T, the Duo is geared for consumers and business types alike, and packs in the carrier's full entertainment suite and a microSD slot for additional memory. However, some may be disappointed by the average 1.3-megapixel camera.</p>
<p>The <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #pantechduo" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/pantechduo/">Pantech Duo</a> is currently available for $200 with a two-year service contract, but you'll also have to tack on a data plan which ranges from $30 to $50.

The dual-slidin' <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #winmo6" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #winmo6" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/winmo6/">WinMo 6</a> phone looks a bit smaller than we thought it was (and smaller than the similar Helio Ocean), but still seems clunky and a bit thick for our tastes. But hey, what do you want for $250 with the usual two-year indentured servitude? Anyway, Eric from Phone Scoop gives us a good gawk 'n' grope of the phone from all angles, even though he could relax a bit. Overall, not a bad handset for the money with its 3G connectivity, but unfortunately there's no Wi-Fi or GPS.

It's got a 1.3-megapixel camera and runs Windows Mobile 6, but other than that there's not much we know about this mystery slider.

			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/10/bonephone.jpg" class="left image340" width="340" />Although <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #boneconduction" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/boneconduction/">bone conduction</a> is nothing new in headphones and <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/peripherals/aliph-jawbone-headset-gets-sexy-redesign-super-noisecancelling-and-bluetooth-223455.php">Bluetooth headsets</a>, not very many cellphones incorporate it into their feature sets. Pantech's KDDI A1407PT in Japan does have this bone conduction loudspeaker, and channels sound through your bones from your ear (or just behind your ear), which helps you hear in noisy environments. Other than the boning factor, this $165 phone is pretty plain, with a 2.4-inch screen and a 1.3-megapixel camera. Put the bone technology into a great phone and we'll start getting excited.

He takes some sample shots next to his V3xx RAZR, which should give you a good idea of how large it is in comparison. If it's as thick as the Ocean, prepare to be either appalled or flattered when your friends comment on your third testicle. [Update, added side shot]</p>

<p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/08/pantech180.jpg" class="left image340" width="340" />Look at this Pantech C180 that Boy Genius Report just uncovered, branded AT&T and looking a whole lot like a smaller and thinner Helio Ocean. Unlike the Ocean, this Pantech slider runs Windows Mobile 6 Standard, but just like the Ocean, it has that appealing dual-sliding arrangement, where a horizontal slide reveals a QWERTY keyboard and a vertical slide uncovers a number pad. Take the jump for a look at it in its horizontally-sliding form.</p>
<p><img alt="pantech-c180-bgr.jpg" src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/08/pantech-c180-bgr.jpg" width="425" height="340" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"><br>
This Pantech C180 accepts microSD cards, and is said to be running 3G, but it wasn't clear whether that was UMTS or UMTS/HSDPA. With a little luck we might be seeing the C180 on sale through AT&T by the end of September, but if not then, certainly by the fourth quarter of this year. We're hearing pricing will be $249.99 with a two-year agreement. [<a href="http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2007/08/28/pantech-c180-says-hello/">Boy Genius Report</a>]</p>

			<title><![CDATA[AT&T Gets the Pantech C150 Low-End Cameraphone]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/07/pantech150large.jpg" class="left image340" width="340" />If you thought that AT&T was becoming a high-end boutique cellphone shop with handsets like the iPhone and the <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/8925">HTC 8925</a>, Pantech's latest addition to their roster will straighten you out. The C150 is a pretty nice looking low-end cameraphone with a VGA camera, Bluetooth, Yahoo Mail, AOL, Windows Live Mail support, MP3 ringtones, picture and ringtone caller ID and not a whole lot else. It's a candybar phone that measures 4.1 x 1.7 x .49 inches with a 128x160 pixel screen. So don't worry that you won't be able to pick up a possibly free-after-rebate phone from AT&T that doesn't look halfway bad. [<a href="http://www.pantechusa.com/web/guest/home">Pantech</a>]</p>

			<title><![CDATA[Pantech's Slider Features a Touchscreen with Tactile Feedback]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/05/IM-R2001.jpg" class="left image340" width="340" />There's more than one fancy slider out there, you know. If you are sick of the <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/unbox/first-unboxing-of-the-helio-ocean-258988.php">Ocean</a> (Already? You're too jaded, my friend), then feast your eyes on the <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #pantechimr200" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/pantechimr200/">Pantech IM-R200</a>.</p>
<p>It's a slider that features two LCD screens, one that slides out from beneath the other. While one might argue that this has the downsides of both the Ocean and the iPhone (bulky slider and a touchscreen), this touchscreen features tactile feedback in the form of a vibration feature. How well does it work? Great question. It'll probably be a while before we get a chance to find out, as this phone is headed to Korea with no word on a Stateside release. <span class="byline">&ndash;Adam Frucci</span></p>

			<title><![CDATA[Pantech Concept Phones Make Rare Appearance at CTIA]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p><script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">galleryPost('pantechconceptctia', 12, 'Pantech Concept Phones');</script><br />
Much like the members of <i>Rage Against the Machine</i>, it's a big deal when Pantech's <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/pantech">concept phones</a> make an appearance in public together. Unlike the members of Rage, however, these phones don't want to stab Zack in the face. The Pantech people tell me that it's rare that all the concepts are gathered up in one place, let alone shown off to the public, So this is a treat.</p>

<p>As for the phones themselves, they're all pretty out there. Each one uses unique manufacturing techniques, textures, form factors and designs that won't make it to market in its current shape. It's more like the automotive industry, where designs are tested out and integrated into the <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphones/hands+on-with-the-smallest-flip+phone-ever-247947.php">somewhat mundane</a> products that actually make it to market. <span class="byline">&ndash; Jason Chen</span></p>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Hands-On With the Smallest Flip-Phone Ever]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p><script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">galleryPost('pantechctia07', 12, 'Pantech CTIA Phones');</script>Despite Jesus promising I'd shove these <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphones/pantech-to-debut-five-new-phones-tease-with-international-models-at-ctia07-247000.php">Pantech</a> models down the old pantaloons, there wasn't much in the way of features or looks to warrant an unpantsing. We save that for only the items on top of the consumer electronics totem pole.</p>

<p>That said, the C3b still is the smallest flip-phone in the US&mdash;now Bluetoothed&mdash;and the other models are pretty, if a bit short on high end features. Have a look at what your parents will be choosing from when they demand their free (or nearly free) phone on signing with AT&T in Q2 2007. <span class="byline">&ndash; Jason Chen</span></p>

			<title><![CDATA[Pantech To Debut Five New Phones, Tease With International Models at CTIA'07]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/03/c150-0326.jpg" class="right image158" width="158" />As expected, Pantech has finally decided to treat our Korean phone envy with five new models that will appear at <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #ctia2007" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/ctia2007/">CTIA 2007</a>. All of them are nice-o but with their usual lame names: the C3b, C510, C600, C170 and the C150 pictured here, a nice candybar that comes with MP3 downloading, VGA camera, and Bluetooth stereo headphone support, which I have decided to rename the Pantswinger.</p>
<p>They will also show some of their latest releases just to keep us drooling, but until <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/home-entertainment/playstation-3-unpantsing-214172.php">Jason gets them in his pants</a> when he arrives in Orlando, we only have a few pix of these C-models and a few other naughty bits. They're right after the jump.<br></p>

<p><img alt="pantech-c510.jpg" src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/03/pantech-c510.jpg" width="215" height="335" class="center"></p>
<p>The Pantech C510 (from now on, the <i>Greenrrrzr</i>), approved last month by the FCC, has a 1.3 megapixel camera, external music player controls, slot for memory cards, Bluetooth support for stereo headphones and, ignoring Kermit's advice, a green brushed metal case.</p>
<p><img alt="pantech-c600.jpg" src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/03/pantech-c600.jpg" width="234" height="285" class="left">The C600 (the Smlehphone) is a 850/1900 UMTS, quad-band GSM/EDGE phone, which comes with Bluetooth stereo headphones support and a Flash-based user interface. Apparently, it also comes with a time machine that the designers traveled in to steal a design from 1996.</p>
<p>The Pantech C710 (the Soundawhoompa) will also have the same features: 3G, a Flash UI, and a 1.3 megapixel camera, adding two «deluxe» speakers (which will either come with bacon and cheese or sound better than the normal speakers), a video sharing client and push-to-talk abilities, so you can pretend you are a secret agent using walkie-talkies. Hopefully, it will look better than this C600.</p>

			<title><![CDATA[Pantech Slim Phone: Maglev Makes It Skinnier But Doesn't Make You Float]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/03/eng_art02.jpg" class="left image500" width="500" /></p>
<p>At 9.99mm (0.39 inches), Pantech's new slim phone is the skinniest slide-phone currently on the market, beating Samsung by 3mm. And, in a cellphone first, it's all down to <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #magneticlevitation" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/magneticlevitation/">Magnetic Levitation</a>, the same technology that is used by <s>Japan's Bullet Trains</s> <i>some high speed trains</i>. The phone also sports a 1.3-megapixel camera, MP3 player and DMP (terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting).</p>
<p>Using magnetic forces, Maglev enables one object to be suspended above another object and it is this that makes the phone slide. It's out next month in Korea and costs an obese $527, but expect to see it over here if it does well over there. <span class="byline">&ndash; Ad Dugdale</span></p>

<p>Another Wednesday, another korean duderina holding a slider phone with another scroll-wheel and yet another oh-so-boring-already-will-it-ever-stop iPod look. However, in addition to the usual MP3 player <i>and</i> the usual 1.3 megapixel camera <i>and</i> the usual voice recorder, this <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #skyims200k" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/skyims200k/">Sky IM-S200K</a> has <i>something</i> different: its scroll-wheel is electro-luminescent. And in the middle of it is some kind of "OK Magic" button, which probably summons demons from a secret inter-dimensional time-space continuum that will take your SMS and deliver it to people in other galaxies. Or make a white rabbit appear or something. We will never know, because even while this nice phone costs $430, we will probably never see it outside Korea. You can, however, see a couple more pics right after the jump. <span class="byline">&ndash; Jesús Díaz</span></p>

The Pantech PN-810, a three-layer-cake slider phone that has a regular dial pad and a keyboard has been seen on the FCC site sporting <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/helio">Helio</a> branding.

<p>We're willing to be that with this body and that feature set, this is their smartphone. If you were looking for a feature-heavy phone on Helio, this is your golden Wonka ticket.</p>

			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/12/IMU1601.jpg" class="left image158" width="158" />Wow, looks like someone was paying attention to all those video iPod <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/portable-media/ipod-video-revealed-114727.php">mock-ups</a> from earlier in the year. The IM-U160 cellphone might be the last gasp of air for Pantech, since the company seems to be going through some financial troubles. From a feature perspective it's pretty much a standard issue Korea-only phone: basic multimedia support, two megapixel camera, microSD, etc. The display, on the other hand, is something to behold. It's 2.6-inches and dominates the phone's design. When closed, the phone appears to be little more than an attractive display.</p>
<p>You bet your bottom dollar there's more pics after the jump.</p>

<p>It's really a shame to hear that <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphones/pantechs-slide-phone-124988.php">Pantech</a> is having some hard times since they consistently release things that are very easy on the eyes. Granted, they almost never come out here, but every product release of theirs does give us the opportunity to check out their lovely models. <span class="byline">&ndash; Nicholas Deleon</span></p>

			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/12/flexus1.jpg" class="left image158" width="158" />Pantech just revealed the <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #flexus03" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/flexus03/">Flexus 03</a>, a concept cellphone that actually made me say, holy cow that looks really nice. Zero information about the cellphone is actually known, but Akihabara says that it's made it into the IF Design Award 2007 finals. Just look as it and tell me it's not one of the better-looking cellphones you've seen here in a while.</p>
<p>Since there's no specs to divulge, please accept these high-res images as a consolation.</p>

			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/12/r1101.jpg" class="left image158" width="158" />Time to contact your local Korean import guy, since the <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #pantechimr11" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/pantechimr11/">Pantech IM-R11</a>0 is just about ready to see the light of day. It's a cellphone with one of those newfangled "t" screens that pivots on command. The cellphone also works as a portable media player (one that can accept DMB broadcasts, no less) but the camera is only two megapixels. I say "only" because cellphones in here in the U.S. are starting to feature such cameras, which means that the Korea phones should be at least five megapixels. Korean cellphones &gt; U.S. cellphones as a rule of thumb. Please accept these photos in lieu of other actual facts.</p>

<p>Will Pantech ever release the IM-R110 here? Probably not, which is a shame since it looks pretty groovy. <span class="byline">&ndash; Nicholas Deleon</span></p>

So I am happy to present that PT-S280 slider from Pantech & Curitel. What makes this phone stand out from the usual slew of crap Korean phones is the included Moneta software. Moneta is a banking application capable of performing money transfers, balance checking, etc. The mobile banking project has been around in Korea for some time, but it is just now really taking off overseas. If trends follow the same path, then maybe some better Moneta-esque applications can hit mobile handsets stateside soon.</p>
<p>This phone also has a 2-inch display, camera, and more. <span class="byline">&ndash; Travis Hudson</span></p>

			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/10/PantechPG3600V.jpg" class="left image340" width="340" />Okay, they weren't really sued for kajillions, but Pantech has released the PG3600V. This cellphone has a circular wheel design that has buttons&mdash;yes, similar to the iPod. The circular button wheel is a good aesthetical design, and maybe the companies use it because it works, not because they are trying to be exactly like Apple.</p>
<p>Besides, the Pantech PG3600V is a cellphone. The iPod isn't. This celly has an MP3 player, Bluetooth, 1.3-megapixel cameras, etc. <b>So what if it has a circular button pattern? I like it, and that is all that matters. <a href="http://us.gizmodo.com/gadgets/portable-media/happy-birthday-ipod-top-ten-reasons-why-i-hate-you-209439.php">Fuck the iPod, yo.</a></b>. <span class="byline">&ndash; Travis Hudson</span></p>

			<title><![CDATA[Low End Theory: The Customer is Always Cheap]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/10/KyoceraCandid.jpg" class="right image158" width="158" /><br>
<i>By Brendan I. Koerner</i></p>
<p>Every morning as I approach my workspace on 14th Street, I'm assaulted by two very different sensory experiences. The first is the whiff of stale urine outside a certain construction site, where nightly <a href="http://www.bumwine.com/md2020.html">Mad Dog</a> throwdowns seem to occur. The second is the hollering of a tout who spends eight straight hours piping, "Free Sprint phones! Free T-Mobile phones!" She's out there rain or shine, handing out flyers for a nearby cellphone depot. So piercing is her scream that I've started hearing it in my dreams.</p>
<p>But don't get me wrong, I admire the lady bigtime&mdash;not just for her Teutonic work ethic, but for advancing the cause, however slightly, of handset enticements. You see, wireless providers seem to think there's only two ways of getting your business: coverage (hence those now-stale "Can you hear me now?" Verizon ads) and plans (hence that <i>really</i> annoying T-Mobile ad with the two long-haired stoners, their dads, and a loudspeaker that blares "Overage! Overage!"). But neither of these is really the way to a cheapskate's heart&mdash;and, by extension, his wallet. We're the sorts who prefer a dollar today to a buck fifty two years down the line, and so what we look for is this, and this alone: what sort of free cell do I get for signing up? After the jump, a rundown of what America's wireless providers are giving away at present, as a means to deciding which company really, truly loves us low-enders.</p>

<p><b>Verizon Wireless</b> The fact that Verizon thinks they can hook you with coverage promises really shows in their lineup of freebies. The chunky <a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=2001">CDM-180</a>, manufactured by Audiovox, is the most expensive handset they're willing to part with; it's marked down from $69.99 if you'll do a two-year contract. It's a relatively ancient product, actually, having been launched at the 2005 CES&mdash;a fact that Verizon conveniently fails to mention on its hype sheet. It's also strange that they flog the CDM-180's wide screen as perfect for "playing games and browsing the web." Um, Verizon? If I'm signing up for the cheapest possible phone, that probably means I'm not likely to fork over for a data plan, too. Better bet: the <a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=2221">PN-210</a>, from our "friends" at <a href="http://www.pantech.com/">Pantech</a>. It's drab and featureless, for sure, but at least it's lightweight.</p>
<p><b>Cingular</b> "Raising the bar"? Boy, do ad slogans ever lie. The sole free flip phone in Cingular's lineup (again requiring a two-year contract&mdash;the rule of thumb from here on in) is the <a href="http://www.slashphone.com/89/2488.html">LG C2000</a>. I can tell you from experience that this year-old phone has a ghastly camera, as well as middling talk time. If you must have Bluetooth, then you can opt for the <a href="http://www.mobile-review.com/review/motorola-v270-en.shtml">Motorola L2</a>, which lacks a lid. Strangely, I've also read that the L2 was priced in the $175 range when it debuted last August. I wonder if its quick descent into low-end land tells you something about it's quality.</p>
<p><b>Sprint</b> Lord knows I'm no fan of Sprint, which I ditched many moons ago after growing weary of asking myself, "How the hell can I be roaming <i>in my kitchen</i>?" I'm definitely not the only person who's down on the house the <a href="http://www.mitmuseum.com/sprint2.html">Cleyson Leroy Brown</a> built; I heard the emcee at the Apollo Theater's Amateur Night make a similar joke a few months back, and the audience went absolutely buck nuts in agreement. So how do you repair your image? Why, by offering a pretty decent assortment of freebies. The nicest stuff here is by Samsung, particularly the <a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2006/07/06/samsung-a640">A640</a>. What's incredible about the A640 deal is that it's such a new handset, having only been released this past July. The fact that they're handing this out to new recruits isn't exactly a sign that you should start buying Sprint stock, but a company's misery is often a miser's gain, eh?</p>
<p><b>T-Mobile</b> The way I feel about T-Mobile is the same way I feel about TBS and TNT&mdash;solid, but not apt to wow (though I do enjoy those <i>Family Guy</i> reruns on TBS, I'll admit). T-Mobile's lineup of entry-level handsets is about what you'd expect from such a company, with the best attraction being the year-old <a href="http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/product/details.jsp?globalObjectId=92">Motorola V360</a>. It's a serviceable phone, I guess, and I definitely appreciate them not saddling with you a 65,000-color screen like some tightfisted providers. But my ultimate reaction is along the lines of "meh". (On the other hand, note that the ad on the Mobiledia review promos a deal that'll net you a profit of $50 in exchange for your two-year agreement&mdash;how come the wireless providers themselves never advertise such deals on their sites?)<img alt="CDM180.jpg" src="http://www.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/10/CDM180.jpg" width="229" height="250" class="right"></p>
<p><b>Alltel</b> I have no idea what to think about this Johnny-come-lately, at least judging by their handset deals. No true freebies here, but they do have two so-so models available for nominal fees: the <a href="http://alltel.com/phones/kyocera/kx16.html">Kyocera Candid KX16</a> for 99 cents, and the <a href="http://alltel.com/phones/lg/ax4270.html">LG AX4270</a> at two-for-a-dollar. The LG offer seems especially tasty at first glance, though the handset's spec sheet is decrepit&mdash;a listed talk time of 168 minutes probably means you'll get an eighth of that within a few months, if you're lucky. But what I'm really conflicted about is whether the nominal-fee scheme is ingenious marketing, or some sort of total dick move. I'm actually looking into writing an upcoming column on the psychology of various promotional tactics, so <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/low-end-theory/">stay tuned</a>.</p>
<p><b>The Bottom Line</b> I never thought I'd say this, but...Sprint wins! Sprint wins! They're definitely layin' it all on the line, in terms of putting passable cellphones in the hands of new cheapskate subscribers. But, as noted above, the abysmal service the company offers should soon end the honeymoon. Which makes me wonder&mdash;is there some sort of axiom we can take away from this? Does the appeal of a wireless providers' entry-level handsets increase in direct proportion to how awful their service is? If that turns out to be the case, let's totally call it the <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #lowendtheory" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/lowendtheory/">Low End Theory</a> Rule <a href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/2/" class="posthashtag">#2</a>; Low End Theory Rule <a href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/1/" class="posthashtag">#1</a>, of course, is never buy a $100 Powerbook from an eBay seller who <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/feature/low-end-theory-196266.php">lists his e-mail address as hdrhghgfhgh@yahoo.com.cn</a>.</p>

			<title><![CDATA[Pantech IM-S130 Smartphone To Be Coveted By Businessmen]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/09/pantech.jpg" class="left image158" width="158" />Generally speaking, Korean cellphone users tend to get all the cool cellphones first, and often get them exclusively. The latest is the Pantech IM-S130, of which only a few facts are known right now, like the fact that it supports microSD and has a pretty decent 3.3-megapixel camera. There's a chance that it might be a hit with the office-going crowd since it natively supports both PDF and <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #microsoftoffice" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/microsoftoffice/">Microsoft Office</a> files. Not particularly appealing to the teen crowd, but Mr. Executive Vice President may get a kick out of it. If, by some miracle, it hits the U.S., we'll let you in on the skinny. <span class="byline">&ndash; Nicholas Deleon</span></p>

			<title><![CDATA[Nokia Release 6315i for Verizon&mdash;Good Bang, Less Buck]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/09/nokia_6315i.jpg" class="left image158" width="158" />This little Nokia clamshell is a pretty good phone with a pretty good price. The Nokia 6315i is a Pantech-branded Nokia phone that is now available for Verizon Wireless. One of the nice features is that it included EVDO. Also packed into this small clamshell is a 262k display, 1.3-megapixel camera and Bluetooth. It will set you back $80 with a two-year contract or $130 with a one-year contract. <span class="byline">&ndash; Travis Hudson</span></p>

			<title><![CDATA[Cingular Releases Pantech C120 Cameraphone For GoPhone Customers]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><a rel="lytebox" href="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2006/09/pantechc120.jpg"><img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/09/pantechc120.jpg" class="left image500" width="500" /></a>Cingular gets its second Pantech phone with the Pantech C120 candybar, sold only to Cingular's GoPhone pay-as-you-go customers. The phone itself has a VGA camera, 65k color display, speakerphone, Java support, and the Oz IM client. There's not much else in the way of features, but it's good for PAYG customers to get another phone, since the selection's usually limited to a few older phones. <span class="byline">&ndash; Jason Chen</span></p>

			<title><![CDATA[Two New Sprint EVDO Rev. A Cards: Pantech PX-500 and Sierra Wireless Aircard 595]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/09/Aircard595bySierra-LR.jpg" class="left image158" width="158" /><br>
Sprint looks to be on track to launch their faster Revision A EVDO network in the fourth quarter of this year. They've already announced <a href="Novatel%20Merlin%20S720:%20First%20Super%20Speedy%20Sprint%20EVDO%20Revision%20A.%20Card">one card</a>, here are two more.</p>
<p>The Pantech PX-500 will go for $200 or free with a 2 year commitment.<br>
The somehow higher-end <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #sierrawireless" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/sierrawireless/">Sierra Wireless</a> <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #aircard595" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/aircard595/">Aircard 595</a> will go for $250, or $100 with 2 year commitment. [Pictured above]</p>
<p>Both are PCMCIA cards, and both will take advantage of the EVDO network now at 400-700 Kpbs, as well as the faster 450-800kbps Rev. A network.</p>
<p>What makes the Sierra more expensive? A durable built in high performance antenna, apparently. So, we'll take the cheaper one, kthx.<span class="byline">&ndash;Brian Lam</span></p>

			<title><![CDATA[Pantech Phone Porn: A Peek at the Future?]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/09/pantech_phones.jpg" class="left image158" width="158" />And now for some <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #phoneporn" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/phoneporn/">phone porn</a> from Pantech of Korea, where apparently the company's designers don't have enough to do, so they hang around dreaming up wild-looking phone designs all day, the results of which we find oddly entertaining. Hey, they're designers, aren't they? What else are they supposed to do but get to designing stuff?</p>
<p>Not much text accompanied these illustrations, and we're not even sure if any of them will ever be manufactured, but use your imagination.</p>
<p>The one pictured here looks like it might be perfect form factor to occupy, say, a kitchen counter when not in use, but slides out to reveal its keypad. Even more curiously satisfying photos after the jump. <span class="byline">&ndash; Charlie White</span></p>

			<title><![CDATA[Pantech IM-U140 Auto-Popup Sliding Phone With DMB]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><a rel="lytebox" href="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2006/09/IM-U140front.jpg"><img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/09/IM-U140front.jpg" class="left image500" width="500" /></a>This Pantech IM-U140, which looks quite similar to my T-Mobile MDA, has an auto-popup screen that moves up to a 30-degree angle when users press the button. The screen is 2.6-inches wide, is QVGA, and plays back DMB TV. The phone itself has a 3 megapixel camera and PictBridge, so you can print out the pictures easily. There's also TV-Out so you can play the DMB on a real TV, 4 channel stereo speakers, and a touch screen. Slim chance this phone or anything like it will be available to the US in the next year or two. <span class="byline">&ndash; Jason Chen</span></p>

			<title><![CDATA[Pantech/Lunar Design Pivot Cellphone Concept]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><a rel="lytebox" href="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2006/08/pantech_pivot.jpg"><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/08/pantech_pivot.jpg" class="left image500" width="500" /></a>Although this looks more like an alarm clock or a desk phone rather than a cellphone, the concept phone is really supposed to fold up and fit into your pocket. The device has a swiveling screen that allows you to prop it up to angle it at your face when you're making a speakerphone call. The screen will also be used for video-conferencing, which again is made easier thanks to the prop-up-pivot</p>
<p>This looks like an interesting design mockup, but still has a lot of bugs to work out before it can come anywhere near production. Which is a shame, because we hate holding and angling our cellphones when we're making a speakerphone call. Isn't speakerphone supposed to keep your hands free so you can do other stuff&mdash;eat, blog&mdash;while you call? <span class="byline">&ndash; Jason Chen</span></p>

			<title><![CDATA[Pantech PG-6200: Cellphone With a Fingerprint Reader]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/07/pantech_pg_6200_cell_phone_fcc.jpg" class="right image158" width="158" />The Pantech PG-6200 has stats that, on a Friday afternoon, I can't even pretend to care about. What does make me perk up is the Pantech's fingerprint scanner that can be used for biometric security. Scan your digits to lock and unlock the phone. Sweet, eh? Stats? <i>Oh fine.</i> Those, and more details, after the jump.</p>

<p>The phone is a clamshell with a 2-megapixel camera, that can capture MPEG-4 video. The phone is EGSM, at 900MHz, and has PCS support, too. (or, more likely, that's a different model.) Not very impressive in it's support for frequencies. And yet, more:</p>
<p>Internal Display: 30.096 mm x 37.62 mm (1.9"), supports up to 262K colors in 176 x 220 pixels<br>
External Display: 18.144 mm x 24.192 mm (1.2"), supports 65K colors in 96 x 128 pixels<br>
7 lines for text in basic mode with 18-pixel font<br>
Two programmable "Soft" selection keys; five-way scroll/selection key<br>
Melodies:MP3, AAC, AAC+, AMR, G-MIDI, SP-MIDI, C-MIDI, SMF, XMF, RTTL, IMelody<br>
Integrated UXGA (2MP) CMOS camera<br>
Resolution up to 1600 x 1200<br>
MPEG4 Video recording/replay up to 30 f/s (QCIF size)<br>
MPEG4 Video maximum size QVGA<br>
Self timer function (5 sec or 10 sec)<br>
Phone display used as a viewfinder<br>
Photo Gallery for image storage and editing<br>
3 image quality options: Fine, Normal, Low<br>
Flash light supported<br>
Weight: 92g<br>
Dimensions: 87.0 mm x 43.6 mm x 20.9 mm<br></p>
