Just when we’ve started wondering what happened to the FCC-approved UTStarcom TXT8010, we have a new tidbit of information that suggests Verizon will be offering the Pantech-made device as Blitz. Apparently, the CDMA carrier will start selling the full slide-out QWERTY keyboard equipped phone on August 8th through Wal-Mart, followed by Best Buy on September 28th. [...]

Pantech’s dual-faced C810 Duo is coming to Mexico. Telcel is the carrier which will offer the Windows Mobile smartphone, which boasts both a full QWERTY keyboard and a standard numeric keypad. There were some confusions in the blogosphere. This isn’t the Pantech Duo 2 model, or the C820 which we saw slipping through FCC. Rather, it’s [...]

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, which [...]

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 not [...]

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 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'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 rare [...]

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 think [...]

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’s bringing a bit of romantic flair to its SKY lineup of mobile phones. While the Pantech SKY IM-S300 doesn’t tout the technological “whizz-bangery” of the Pantech SKY IM-R200 , the SKY IM-S300 does turn up the notch on the fashion side of things. With a set of curvy navigational buttons, the Pantech SKY IM-S300 is essentially a cosmetically tweaked Pantech SKY IM-S200k - and Pantech’s pushing this thing as the “Romantic Wave” (a fitting name, given those “wavy” nav-buttons on the front face). Of course, no handset with a name like the “Romantic Wave” would be complete without a touch of Pink - the Pantech SKY IM-S300 features Pink-accents to complement the 2.2-inch display, 1.3 megapixel camera, and music player.  South Koreans can expect to pay about $430 to ride the “Romantic Wave.” [Via: JustAMP ] ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:Pantech Shooting Star will cost you $550, specs don't match price pointPantech Sky IM-S200KSKY IM-R200 Revealed By Pantech & Curitel - LCD Keypad SliderSKY IM-U200 Swivel Phone SpiedBSkyB selects Symbian OS
