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.



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.
