Pantech launches the WPP-8000 Wi-Fi phone
Today, Pantech has announced the WPP-8000, a device presented as its first Wi-Fi enabled phone.
Launched via LG Dacom, one of South Korea’s largest high-speed Internet, voice and data services providers, the WPP-8000 is not a regular phone (like the GSM or CDMA ones).
It uses LG Dacom’s myLG070 service, allowing users to access the Web via a wireless LAN connection (called iHub) and get news, stock and weather information without extra data charges.
Pantech WPP-8000 also supports features like Caller ID and text messaging. As you can see, its display is not exactly the largest around, but it looks like all these kinds of phones have such small screens.
If the WPP-8000 is successful, Pantech will release similar devices in the future.
