Pantech has something new for the text messaging addicts out there. Although there has been no official release date yet, a lot have been waiting for this shiny and sleek phone dubbed as the Pantech C820 Duo II.

This phone is a GSM quad-band phone that runs the Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard, with support for 3G connection, and Bluetooth connectivity. It features a dual-sliding keyboard whereas the portrait mode reveals the numeric keypad, and the landscape reveals the full WERTY keyboard.

It also has a 2 megapixel camera and a QVGA screen display. It may look as if it is a touch screen phone, but it is definitely not. And another thing is, this Pantech C820 doesn’t have a Wi-Fi and GPS receiver.

So to sum up, this is basically a mid range phone that looks like smartphone. It will absolutely appeal to those who love the QWERTY way of text messaging.
