Pantech releases S100 in Mexico

by Sean Cooper posted Apr 26th 2007 @ 7:35PM

Korea's Pantech launched a handset with Telcel this week in a bid to bolster its presence in Mexico. The S100 is a plain white candybar, and while decidedly lacking in crazy styling -- as per Pantech's usual conceptual flair – it does pack all the basic features an intro-level handset user could ever want. Featuring triple-band GSM / GPRS (no frequency info was posted), 1.8 inch screen, VGA camera, MP3 ringtones, and even a voice note function to babble down your thoughts, it leaves little to complain about. No word on how many monies this will set subscribers back, but we don't expect it to drain even the smallest of piggy banks.

Smart S100: the slimphone with a silly keypad

There are slimmer phones on the market, sure, but the 7.7 millimeter, Asia-only Smart S100 has that poorly-faked-iPod look that Samsung simply doesn't have anywhere in their product lineup. With the exception of the unfortunate dual-band 900 / 1800 GSM radio with nothing more than GPRS to feed it data, the phone's specs aren't half bad, with a 160 x 128 OLED display, 2-megapixel cam, and that Nokia 3650-style circular keypad we all love (or love to hate). Without even a single US-friendly GSM band, we think we've probably spent too much time on this thing already, but it's fascinating to know that a no-name phone can beat virtually every major manufacturer in the slimphone game.
