You bragged about being the most fanatic picturegoer of them all, so don’t hesitate when I tell you to give me at least two or three names of the cast of “Love actually". Especially because it’s like a speed test, as I told you to think fast. You say you can’t remember, I say you shouldn’t boast anymore about being such a connoisseur.
Anyway, the reason I asked for those names has nothing to do with the movie. It just came to me because I accidentally ran into the Pantech Love Actually cell phone, a touch sensitive device that has just been unveiled. Also known under the name of IM-U460K, the phone will be sold under the name I mentioned earlier, which is a little bit peculiar, you have to admit.

As you can see for yourselves, the phone has a very stylish design and you’ll have some brightly colored changeable back plates to enjoy.
As for the features, the Pantech Love Actually comes with a 3 inch WQVGA display, GSM and HSDPA connectivity, a 3 megapixel camera, a secondary camera for video calls, DMB (also known as Digital Multimedia Broadcasting), media player, an internal memory of 256 MB and a microSDHC card slot.
The phone measures 104.9 x 54.6 x 12 millimeters and is expected to become available via KTF, in a wide variety of colors. The price is still unknown. Anyway, up until the moment you’ll have the chance to buy a handset of your own, enjoy this video preview:
Pantech has just announced the release of its new Wi-Fi cell phone, the WPP-8000, which is presented to the large public as “its first Wi-Fi enabled phone”. This is kind of late for the company, as Wi-Fi cell phones are all over these days. The phone is aimed at the South Korean market, where it was released via LG Dacom, which is one of the most important providers in the country, when it comes to high-speed Internet, voice and data services.
However, the Pantech WPP-8000 comes equipped with a couple of features that help it stand out from the crowd. First of all, the handset is based on the myLG070 service, so users can access the Web whenever they want to via a wireless LAN connection that is called iHub. In addition, they can be informed on the latest news, stock or weather and they won’t be extra charged for this.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Among the features you can find on board, there are the Caller ID and the text massaging capabilities. There aren’t many details available at the moment about the features of this Wi-Fi cell phone and you’ll have to content yourself with the picture above. As you can easily see, the display is not the most impressive that you’ve had the chance to see in the past, but this shouldn’t be a problem, after all.
Well now, we’ll just have to wait and see whether the WPP-8000 is successful or not. Only then Pantech will know if the decision to launch a Wi-Fi phone when the market is actually saturated was a good one or not.
Well, if you were, there is no reason for you to continue pining for the South Korean manufacturer’s mobile phones, because there’s a brand new device waiting in line to become available in the market.
And if you didn’t smell the imminence of the handset, this means you’re immune to love and to the powerful influence of a well-known character, Cupid, the god of erotic love and beauty in the Roman mythology, whom you must surely remember from all sorts of pictures that show him shooting his bow.
You must think I’m crazy and wondering why in earth I’m talking about Cupid, when the question refers to Pantech cell phones. Patience, my friends, and you’ll find the answer. More than that, you’ll see there’s a reason for me to talk wildly.
The company has just announced a new device, the Pantech Cupid IM-S390, which is a CDMA cell phone with a very light design, but a little bit lacunose, as far as the features are concerned. Even if it wouldn’t cross your mind in a million years, the phone is equipped with an integrated terrestrial DMB TV tuner, so the tiny display gives you the possibility to watch your favorite TV shows.

The features of the Pantech Cupid IM-S390 include: microSD card support for expandable memory, 12.5 millimeters thickness, an electronic dictionary and an integrated subway maps. The cell phone will be available in different color combinations, including white with pink, white with lime and black.
The price that Pantech announced for this cell phone is approximately 40 won, so you must not be surprised if the Cupid IM-S390 will become a hit abreast of the ladies. The new cell phone is expected to become available in a couple of days, no more than five.
Pantech USA, a subsidiary of Pantech Group, which is a very important Korean mobile manufacturer, announced that a brand new mobile phone is already available. Launched under the name of C630, the device is expected to start selling on 12 December, meaning today, being offered by the US carrier AT&T.
While other companies decided to reveal all sorts of expensive high-end cell phones right before Christmas, Pantech USA thinks that the best way for them to gain more and more customers is to give them what they most want: a well-equipped handset sold with an affordable price.
The candybar features lots of multimedia functionalities, allowing its users to choose from GPS, music, chat and video. I’m sure you all know that big things can always come in small packages, so the C360’s most popular features can easily be managed, including text, IM multimedia messaging, GPS navigation and music. As far as the navigation is concerned, you’ll have the chance to use advanced functions with aGPS for turn-by-turn directions, using an AT&T service, the Navigator. When it comes to entertainment, the C630 is compatible with a variety of digital music formats.

The mobile phone is made from mixed materials, being provided with a rubberized back-panel, with a mirrored screen, not to mention the joystick pad. It measures 4 x 1 (length x depth) and features the following specifications: 3G support, the aGPS that I was earlier talking about and that allows the use of AT&T Navigator, microSD card support, 1.3 megapixel camera and two other AT&T multimedia services, Video Share and Mobile Music.
“The C630 is a little phone with big functionality”, said Patrick Beattie, vice president of sales and marketing at Pantech Wireless, Inc. “We packed a lot in this device while working to keep the price affordable. Pantech believes that advanced functionality can be available for all levels of users”.
The Pantech C630 was said to become available starting today on AT&T’s official website, being sold for $39.99, with a two-year contract and mail-in rebate. Even if this new mobile phone that Pantech USA is offering all of you doesn’t come with a QWERTY keyboard, you might still be impressed by its affordable price.
Here’s a great news for those of you out there who own a Pantech C810 Duo dual slider with AT&T carrier: you can now download an upgrade including Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard operating system. But you should understand one thing very well: this upgrade is for AT&T customers only. If AT&T isn’t your service provider, do not update your product with this software! More than that, after updating the Pantech Duo with this software, the product will only work with AT&T service.
The company warns users to back-up all of their Duo handsets with their AT&T Mobile Backup available on their official website, because the update will erase all data from their devices. So you are asked to ensure that all critical information has been backed up before applying this update. All user data (including contacts, photos, ringtones and videos) can be backed up by using Microsoft Sync which was included in your installation disc.
Among the list of exciting upgrades to the user experience for both business and consumer customers, Pantech Duo owners now enjoy a more efficient use of key phone features. The improvements include: customizable home screen, threaded text messaging, Web, Support for Enterprise Device Management and Security, productivity, Bluetooth, Mobile Banking, the addition of Windows Mobile 6.1.

Sliding panels streamline access to frequently-used phone features, allowing for picture and video viewing, listening to music and coordinating calendar appointments. On the other hand, SMS text messages are threaded together into a single conversation, so users can view the entire conversation as they type. As far as the Web is concerned, zoom in and out capabilities provide enhanced Web page viewing. Advanced enterprise device management support features sophisticated security settings and simplified access for IT managers. You also have the ability to cut, copy and paste text, auto-fill options for email addresses, select multiple messages in bulk, you can also easily manipulate contacts, calendar and tasks features. When it comes to the Bluetooth, there is a seamless pairing of headset to device without pairing code. With Mobile Banking, you can perform secure banking transactions with many of the nation’s largest banks directly from your handset.
But probably the most important improvement is the addition of Windows Mobile 6.1 to the Pantech duo, “which is another example of Pantech’s commitment to improving the mobile experience for our customers”, said Sandy Gomo, Director of Product Management, Pantech Wireless, Inc. “Availability of this update online is part of Pantech’s strategy to protect the investment of loyal Pantech product users. Out continued relationship with AT&T and Microsoft brings customers fun and productive tools to enhance their everyday lives”.
This updater will function correctly under Windows 2000 & XP. Other requirements include: (1) USB port, fully charged battery for your phone (standard or extended) and USB data cable which was included in the retail box.
The new Pantech duo is now available in the US exclusively from AT&T for as low as $79.99. For those who already have their devices, they can download and have more information about the new update on pantechusa.com.
