Phonescoop just spotted an odd slider from Pantech in some FCC filings. The phone, officially called the Pantech PN-810, has three layers. Sliding it up reveals a standard keypad while sliding it sideway reveals a QWERTY keypad. It has EVDO, Bluetooth, and a 2.1-megapixel camera. Not sure what Helio will call it, but it looks quite promising. Dual-Sliding Messenger Phone for Helio Spotted on FCC Site [PhoneScoop] → Read More
, the average-looking flip phone has access to your Exchange server, the ability to read Office documents from your corporate network, and all the other (hard-to-use) goodness of WinMo: Smartphone Edition. Besides rocking the MS OS, the VZN clamshell features a 1.3-Megapixel cam with flash (nice!), Bluetooth, and EV-DO. In addition, you get a microSD card slot for music. Since the WinMo comes with a micro version of the Windows Media Player, this phone is in line with the rumors that VZN is switching its music strategy from its V-Cast service to Microsoft’s PlaysForSure, meaning music you download from any PlaysForSure store should play nice with this $149 Pantech.

Pantech has launched a clamshell phone known as the IM-U170, sporting both looks and functionality. Its metallic casing comprises of magnesium and its keypad is illuminated with Electroluminescent light which makes you look like a complete badass. The IM-U170 has two camera’s for video conferencing. The outer camera is a pretty standard 2 megapixel while the integrated VGA camera is utilized by the world’s first face-recognition mobile game that tracks the user’s face movement and acts as a controller for the game. The phone also includes support for MS Office files and yeah you guessed it, not available here! → Read More
<img src="http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/Star Trek, the 802 has most of the same features as the GSM phone: a 320×240 main screen, full color secondary screen, Bluetooth, microSD, 1.3-megapixel camera, and a slim flip form factor. The Pantech, however, also includes EV-DO for wireless broadband, at speeds that smoke the 3125's EDGE speeds. While a worthy competitor, the 802 still has the indignity of being tied to Verizon, the carrier known for disabling popular features on its phones (like Bluetooth file transfer), forcing its customers to use its costlier data services for those tasks. That being said, we're still not yet sure if this phone will suffer as others before it have. Otherwise, it's a fine smartphone for those who read email more than they write it. Look for it after Xmas, but before 2007. WinMo in a Clamshell [Mobile Mag] → Read More

Alltel’s not usually known for their fashionable phones, but this small compact-sized compact-like phone from Pantech will be available from Alltel here in the US. It has a 1.8-inch TFT screen, and a 1.0-inch external screen on the outside. A VGA camera, Brew 2.1 capability, speakerphone, and voice memo completes the package. Although this phone is small, it’s fairly thick too. 0.96 inches when closed makes a pretty large bulge in your pocket. And it’s not the kind ladies like.

A few weeks after announcing the mini-mini-C300, Pantech visits Canada with the PN-3200. This clamshell phone is fairly basic – CDMA, GPS and Bluetooth – but it’s being launched with TELUS, Canada’s second-largest carrier. Pantech has consistently produced drool-worthy phones for Asia and Europe, so it should be great to see them sail over to these shores. This phone isn’t particularly beautiful, but it’s the thought that counts. → Read More
