The Pantech SKY IM-U460K or the “Love Actually”, which somehow seems to resemble the Samsung Memoir, is going to be released in South Korea with the carrier, KTF. It brings HSDPA, global roaming, integrated DMB tuner, 3MP camera and microSD slot as well.
What really impressed us about the phone, though, is its 3” QVGA resolution screen, that comes with big-sized dot matrix display, that is bound to thrill one and all with its retro looks. As is usual will all of Pantech’s SKY-branded cuties, this one also may enter markets outside Korea.

RIM has finally brought the BlackBerry Bold told to South Korea, with a little help from SK Telecom. A localized version of the BlackBerry Bold smartphone will be available here, starting this week. The region had almost banned all foreign handsets being promoted by local carriers, but now it’s all over.
Of course, the local faves are still undoubtedly LG, Pantech and Samsung. So we are not yet sure about how well a device with an English QWERTY keyboard might fare out here. But then it’s always good to have some more competition, right, folks?
