"South Korean mobile phone maker Pantech Group said on Thursday it has agreed to supply GSM phones to Cingular Wireless, the No. 1 U.S. mobile operator, beginning this month...A spokeswoman at Pantech said Cingular would begin offering its handsets sometime in June, but she declined to give a value of the deal or the number of phones it has agreed to sell."

This is good news for us Cingular customers. Why you ask? If you look at this news post Mike did a while back you will see why. That is a Clam-shell Smartphone you are looking at. I am hoping this will translate into more Smartphones for us to play with.

MORE TOYS! MORE DIVERSITY! MORE COMPETITION!

I really want a solid flip phone, I'm too rough on a phone for an open candy bar style.

Isn't that Smartphone a CDMA model? :?

Yes it is. I'm hoping it spills over to GSM. Let me hope ok? :|

I think its an easy assumption to think they will create a GSM model of the phone - they did sign a contract with Cingular and the clamshell is their latest release.

Let's us dream! Don't be a wet blanket :cry:

we just got some dummy phones today for the new pantech toys. unfortuantly they are not smartphones, but they are REALLY tiny camera phones made for Cingulars "Go-Phone" lineup. i'll take pictures tomorrow

No Smartphones?? Oh sheesh!
