"Pantech announced Monday that it has launched the PH-S8000T, the first Microsoft smartphone to be introduced to Korea. The new phone, which is equipped with the Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition and Intel Mobile Processor, and was developed in close partnership with Microsoft and Intel, will be initially aimed at mobile professionals - “knowledge workers” - and entertainment multimedia enthusiasts."



The PH-S8000T is loaded up with features like: Intel Bulverde 400Mhz, 128MB Rom / 32MB Ram, Modern Memory(8mb*4mb) - I'm not sure what that's all about, Retractable type antenna, Windows Mobile 2003 SE, CDMA EV-DO, and in case you didn't notice, a cool swivel screen. On the down side, I wouldn't expect to see this anywhere outside of Korea any time soon.

Now I just need a Korean contact and my own omnipresent compatible cell network... shouldn't be too hard.
