Pantech U160 Media Phone
Pantech this morning launched the IM-U160, an update to the company's U series phones that focuses on video above all else. The slider design centers around a large 2.6-inch display the company says is bright and vivid enough for watching video. Accordingly, the U160 incorporates a tuner for Korea's DMB mobile TV and can play live broadcasts while other functions of the phone are being used. General pre-recorded video playback is equally a staple of the design and is aided by 184MB of internal memory and a microSD card slot.
Other elements of the media-rich handset are a 2-megapixel camera, GPS route finding, MP3 music playback and an electronic dictionary. Pantech currently offers the phone in Korea through the cellular provider Sky. A profile photo is available after the jump.
