"Pantech & Curitel has been approved to supply new handsets directly to Verizon Wireless beginning next quarter. Pantech & Curitel is Korea's second largest handset manufacturer. In addition to selling handsets under their own brand in Asia, the company's phones are also re-badged; in the US they are often sold by UT Starcom / Audiovox. Pantech is reportedly seeking distribution deals with Virgin Mobile, Alltel and Metro PCS as well, and is already providing test units to Sprint."

I wonder if this means that we will get to see that cool Pantech PH-S8000T with the swivel screen in the US sometime soon?

It's about time Verizon got a decent Smartphone for its line up.
