Pantech is out with yet another Korea-only handset called Sky IM-S400L. The stylish slider is made to sing along CDMA networks and also has a solid 2.6-inch screen. However, what really sets the IM-S400L apart — or at least Pantech thinks so — is its keypad which uses the so called “Glide Sensor” technology. Apparently, thanks to this tech mambo-jumbo, users should expect the keypad to operate like a laptop trackpad. Are we talking about a “capacitive touchscreen kind of technology here or what?” It certainly sounds like that.
Anyway, most of us will never be able to find out more about this phone as we’ve no information it will ever leave South Korea, where interested buyers could grab it for about $395. Kinda steep for a feature phone, but I guess that’s the price for an unlocked device.

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
