Pantech Sky IM-R470S

Remember Pantech’s TruEmotion user interface? Well, it’s live now with the first phone called Sky IM-R470S, which is available in South Korea via SK Telecom.

From what we can tell, the new device is a true multimedia monster, sporting just a few buttons and a huge 3.2-inch WVGA (800×480 pixels) touchscreen, which has a 160 degree viewing angle. Rest of the specs include mobile TV (DMB) receiver, GPS, Bluetooth, accelerometer, proximity sensor, 3 megapixel camera, 4GB of internal memory, and a media player that can handle an array of video files such as H.264, MPEG4, DivX and XviD.

In a nutshell, it’s quite capable device that you probably won’t see outside of Korea for the time being. Hopefully, Pantech is negotiating with some carriers in Europe and U.S. as we speak to export this baby. Keeping our fingers crossed can’t harm, that’s sure. ;)

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. 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. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
