Pantech Sky IM-R200 With Touchscreen Keypad Gets Official
Few weeks ago Akihabara News have reported about the upcoming dual screen Pantech Sky IM-R200 phone.
Today Pantech has made an official announcement about it:
Promoted as a Dual LCD Sliding Phone, the most interesting feature about Pantech IM-R200 is its OLED touchscreen keypad, which replaces normal numerical keypad in this slider.
When you open the phone, a touchscreen slides out and a keypad shows up on it. The keypad can be configured for multiple interfaces, e.g. showing numbers or phonebook contacts to dial a phone, a song list in MP3 player mode or camera functions in camera mode.
Another nice feature in the touch sensitive keypad on Pantech IM-R200 is the implemented haptic controls (most likely via Immersion’s VibeTonz technology). It makes the touchscreen vibrate when a key is pressed, solving the major problem of touchscreen interfaces – the lack of feedback during the operation.
Other features of Pantech Sky IM-R200 Dual LCD Slider include 2 megapixel and VGA camera with face recognition, 2.0″ QVGA 262K Color main display and 1.6″ 262L color OLED LCD.
Looks like touchscreen interfaces are becoming all the rage these days. Let’s see how Pnatech IM-R200 will fare against LG KE850 Prada, Samsung Ultra Smart F700 or an Apple iPhone.
