Pantech
& Curitel launches TV phone
Press Release
Pantech, one of the world's leading mobile communications groups -
comprised of Pantech&Curitel Communications, Inc., Pantech Co., Ltd. and Pantech
C&I Inc. ("Pantech" hereafter) - today announced that it has launched the
PT-S130, the world's first Bluetooth enabled digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB)
mobile phone.
Unlike other DMB phones, the PT-S130 is designed with a diverse range of unique
characteristics that are aimed at satisfying the audio and visual demands of
users.
Dr. Moon S. Song, President & CEO, Pantech&Curitel Communications, Inc., said:
"The PT-S130 is a major step forward, in terms of the range of functionality
that users can enjoy on a single handset. By applying Bluetooth technology to
DMB handsets, Pantech&Curitel has opened a new chapter in the mobile phone
space, cementing its leading position in the industry."
Another significant design feature is that - with Bluetooth technology - users
do not have to take the phone out of their pocket to make a phone call or listen
to music. All of the Bluetooth enabled functions work within ten meters of the
phone. To facilitate easy use, the PT-S130 has a pendant-type wireless ear
phone, the first of its kind in the world.
The phone's multi-tasking function allows users to enjoy different services on
the phone at the same time. For example, they can watch movies, while making or
receiving calls or sending short text messages.
The PT-S130 features a bright, rotating 2.4-inch LCD screen, which is designed
to allow users a wider viewing angle, so they can enjoy movies or television
programs using the phone from an enhanced perspective. The phone also has two
embedded 3D stereo speakers, which support different modes of sound quality.
With the MP3 equalizer, the sound modes can be tailored to specific musical
tastes.
Pantech, which aims to become the world's top 5 mobile phone manufacturer by
launching leading edge convergence phones such as smart phones and telematics
phones, plans to unveil no fewer than three DMB handsets, including the PT-S130,
this year.
PT-S130 features include:
* Swing & Folder Type Intenna phone
* Bluetooth embedded
* 2MP CMOS Camera(rotating) w/A/F
* MP3 player, multi-tasking function
* Memory: 1Gb + 512M

* Dimensions: 101x48x23.3mm
