Meet the Pantech IM-R300, a new slider that is about to start selling in Korea via SK Telecom. The device measures 51x102x13.9 mm and has a 2.6-inch WQVGA (240×400 pixels) touchscreen. The large resolution of the screen makes the phone quite interesting and will certainly make the web browsing experience more enjoyable. The same goes…
More Helio Ocean 2 videos
The Helio Ocean 2 is proving to be more successful than its carrier ever was. With the last true MVNO making its final push in the US wireless market, the Helio Ocean 2 has come to the forefront as the hottest Helio handset ever. Last we saw, the Helio Ocean 2 was caught on video,…
Helio Ocean 2 spotted in the flesh
With Helio downsizing its operations, possibly in preparation for a takeover from Virgin Mobile USA, there are probably mobs (in the loosest sense of the term) of Helio customers worried that they may never get to lay hands on the Helio Ocean’s smarter, better, faster, stronger successor, the Helio Ocean 2. Alas, their worries might…
FCC shows Pantech Duo 2
Dual-sliders aren’t exactly taking the handset market by storm, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t at least a handful of you out there that love having a keypad and keyboard on the same device. And, keeping the dream of hybrid keypad/keyboard devices alive, Pantech has just pushed their Pantech Duo 2 through the FCC. The…
Pantech C820 slips through FCC; Pantech Duo 2?
Let’s see, the Pantech Duo is actually the model number C810, so what kind of a device would wear the C820 “badge?” Maybe Pantech Duo 2? We’re not sure of course, but that certainly makes sense. To be fair, the “Duo 2” is kinda awkward name, but hey, if Intel could do it, Pantech can…
AT&T to sell Pantech Breeze to seniors
AT&T today announced a new simple phone. Made by Korean Pantech, the Breeze is designed to “consider the needs of seniors or customers who have disabilities.” That being said, this clamshell is not about high-end features. Rather, it’s a simple and easy to use phone, which prides itself with such things as 3 quick-call keys,…
Pantech UTStarcom TXT8010 shows up at FCC
Pantech’s latest creation for UTStarcom has just reared its head on the FCC website. Pantech has dubbed this QWERTY-toting handset the Pantech Elvis, but the FCC label in the diagram clearly shows that it’s the UTStarcom TXT8010. The UTStarcom TXT8010 is a dual-band (850/1900Mhz) CDMA handset with text messaging as its main draw. It’s a…
Pantech concept phones for 2010
Pantech is one interesting company. They may not have a significant market share, but from time to time they surprise us with some neat phones like the dual-sliding Pantech Duo or Helio Ocean. Just like any modern enterprise, they are looking everywhere for an inspiration, hence they’ve been organizing a contest to see how people…
Helio Ocean 2 aka OZ2 appears on FCC
Eagle-eyed Engadget folks spotted the OZ2 hitting the FCC for the approval process. If you remember, prior to releasing it as the Helio Ocean, the Pantech-made dual-slider was known simply as OZ. Naturally, we think the OZ2 stands for Ocean 2 and hopefully, soon enough, we’ll see our assumptions confirmed, or not. CTIA is ahead…
Pantech SKY IM-310L looks cool, probably won’t leave Korea
Check out one of the latest Pantech’s devices we’ve spotted. With those “rombish,” Nokia Prism like patterns on the front – it looks awesome. There’s no much brain under the hood, though, but it’s only obvious they are not targeting business users with this phone. The SKY IM-310L’s specs include 2.4″ QVGA screen, 1.3 megapixel…
