Pantech invades Mexico with army of phones

Be not threatened, dear Mexicans, these Korean invaders mean you no harm. Instead, Pantech is here bearing gifts in the form of five sexy new cell phones. Telcel is the route that they are taking, exclusively offering these handsets to the mobile operator (at least in Mexico). This only makes sense, considering that Telcel is the largest cell service provider in Latin America. Joining the brigade are the PG-6200, PG-1310V, PG-1610, PG-3810, and PG-1810. Honored at the iF Design Awards for excellence and innovation in the design of cellular phones, the PG-6200 slider comes loaded with a 2 megapixel camera, integrated MP3 player, and a fingerprint reader. Pantech is projecting sales of 1.3 million units in Mexico this year. With this renewed firepower of fresh clamshells and sliders, they should be in good position to accomplish that goal.

As we previously mentioned, Vodafone has added a pile of new handsets to its Christmas line-up, with many models exclusive to the mobile giant - including the Sharp 770SH 3G handset and Sharp GX29 clamshell.

The Sharp 770SH is an entry-level 3G clamshell handset, which will give you access to Vodafone's mobile TV services. Other than that, it has a 1.3 megapixel camera, an inner TFT screen and outer mono display, video calling, 20MB of storage (which can be boosted by microSD card), MP3/AAC/AAC+/AAC+e music player, Bluetooth, USB and talktime of around 2 hours 40 minutes, along with a standby of 330 hours. It's available in a choice of black or silver.

The Sharp GX29 is a fairly basic 2.5G clamshell with just a VGA camera for taking your snaps. It's got a TFT screen with 256K colours, along with a second external mono display, Bluetooth, USB, voice memo and games.
