Pantech's SKY IM-U170 goes official

Some of our readers might remember this high-style flip better as the W51PT for KDDI's au network in Japan; it looks like Pantech wisely took note that au runs CDMA just like the overwhelming majority of Korea, rebranding it as the IM-U170 for home turf. The spec sheet is typical Korean superphone fare: 2 megapixel cam, microSD slot, HSDPA for high-speed coverage outside of EV-DO territory, a front-facing cam for UMTS video calling, WiBro (!), and a crazy looking mirrored keypad that we'd kinda like to try. We'll look into it next time we're chilling in Seoul.

So this phone has both an 800 MHz CDMA 1xEVDO radio and a 2100 MHz UMTS/HSDPA radio (if it is for SKT)??

That's power right there.

As sleek of a design as that handset has, it looks like the shape of that hinge could be pretty uncomfortable on the cheeks when talking on it (kinda like the Nokia N93)...

I do not know what it is but I do not like the look of this phone (saying that I did not like the motorola razr as well), it must be the idea of a thin phone that looks very wide. not sure and I think I will stick with my KG800

Wow, I've never seen an Asian with Downs Syndrome before.
