Pantech's SKY IM-U200 "Shooting Star"
There's not much going on here in the way of nifty tech (unless you count the 1.3 megapixel camera or the fact that there are several of them seemingly orbiting the woman in the picture), so Pantech's SKY-branded IM-U200 flip for SK Telecom tries to make up for that little indiscretion with visual appeal. It's cool, we guess, but we can't imagine the thing feels too great stuffed in a pocket; Pantech calls it the "Shooting Star," but we think "Wedge" is a little more fitting. Look for it to hit for about 500,000 won -- $543, give or take.

Holy Crap!!! This means that the Whopper with cheese will be discontinued.

$543?!?!?!?!!!! Who would honestly buy that? For less than that you can get the HTC touch... unlocked. Or supposing it's real, the Meizu M8 4GB version

Oh and by the way, from the looks of it in that picture, it doesn't flip like a normal flip phone... it looks like it opens by twisting the flip part in a circle... kinda like the sidekick

I think you would call it a "swivel", not a "flip", as it looks like the screen rotates upwards, not flips...

Now *this* should be the new Helio phone that's coming out. Pity it's probably not.
