Camera Phones Plaza

Pantech, South Korea’s third largest handset manufacturer, is doing a very good job, not only in its country, but also on the US market, especially since the company has recently announced two new phones ( the Matrix and the Slate) for AT&T, the most important provider of both local and long distance telephone services, DSL Internet access and wireless service in the United States.

The Pantech Design Community, comprised of 20 college students, has come up with four new concept phones that Pantech might someday build. You must agree with the fact that some companies are prolific at this time of year, and Pantech surely does not make an exception!

The first concept is called Coralliform Water and it was obviously inspired by the sea and the underwater life. Being a slider, the phone somehow looks like a budding flower when it’s closed. There were no specifications given, but the device seems to have a touchscreen display and a camera. Even if this phone looks like being targeted at the fairer sex and like fitting better in a lady’s hands, I bet that gentlemen won’t mind having one.



The Easter Moai had been made with a view to articulate the “multifaceted nature of human beings”. It features a “wave” touchscreen LCD, a touch key, a dome key and lots of other keys on its sides, which are put there in order to increase the phone’s functionality. The thing that really looks different is the included support that fits the phone perfectly.



Recy_Q is a full touchscreen phone that features a sliding QWERTY keyboard and touch keys which are embedded in the metal frame, for an easier control over its User Interface. Recyclable material should be used for the case and the keypad. I’m not sure about how those tiny “wings” of the phone would feel in hand, but on the whole the device looks good.



Softy Lofty is the fourth new Pantech concept, and maybe the wackiest of them all, because we just can’t figure out where the display of this phone is. All we’re said about this strange design is that it’s supposed to “offer as much visual and emotional comfort as possible” and to emit a vague light when re-charged.



To conclude, all the four Pantech phones look really inviting, but it would really be interesting to see those concepts turning into reality.
