Pantech hooks up with Telcel for five new handsets

by Chris Ziegler posted Oct 13th 2006 at 4:27PM

Pantech might still be an up-and-comer in the US market, but if you head south of the border, you'll find that they're the fourth largest manufacturer -- this coming just two years after entering the Mexican market through an exclusive agreement with carrier Telcel -- but it looks like they're still aiming higher. The Korean company chose this week to announce not one, not two, but five new models exclusive to Telcel in the Mexican market, most interestingly the PG-6200 clamshell with fingerprint recognition and 2-megapixel cam. Also along for the ride are the PG-1310V, PG-3810, and PG-1810 clamshells, and the PG-1610 slider, all with oddly similar specs: 1.5-inch main display and VGA cams across the board.

Is it just me or does the 3810 look awfully similar to their C300 for Cingular, sans antenna?...and flash...

the 1810 looks so thin. the 3810 definetly c300-like. the 6200's screen is small, but it's probably a clamshell so that's just the outside screen, and it's from pantech so the inside screen is going to be a super high resolution that outside of korea, people think of as only for desktop displays. but vga cameras? pftt those unfortunate mexican mobile phone users, stuck with such low res. my pictures are myspace only, and even i use 800x600.

Not all of us mexican mobile phone users are unfortunate. I'm using a 3 mp SE k790.

By the way, I haven't seen that much Pantech users here.
