Pantech/Sky 7.2Mbps phone
Sky, the high-end brand of Pantech, is joining other Korean companies such as Samsung in producing phones with 7.2Mbps HSDPA broadband. The Sky entry is the IM-U210, a companion to the brand's flagship U200. Aside from increased speeds, the 210 makes several other changes: whereas the 200 is an unusual twisting clamshell, the 210 is a straight slider. Its camera has been upgraded to two megapixels, and Pantech is putting emphasis on features such as DMB broadcasts and MBank services. Bluetooth and a microSD slot are other confirmed elements. The U210 should be available now in Korea for 500,000 won ($530). [via Akihabara News]
