With all the hot cellphones which are about to arrive you’re likely to disregard this Pantech Reveal. But if you have a tight budget to deal with then maybe this $80 phone is the thing for you as long as you’re willing to accept a new 2-year contract. A $50 mail-in rebate is also involved so remember to get your money back from AT&T after you purchase the Reveal.

The Reveal will offer you a 2.2-inch QVGA display, 3G connectivity, 1.3-megapixel camera, full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, keypad and microSD support. Too bad that the LCD display is so tiny! I would gladly sacrifice the keypad for a larger panel, but that’s just me! What do you think?

Verizon has today announced that their Escapade handset is set to launch both in-store and online tomorrow for $29.99 on contract.

As you can see, this device doesn’t have a touchscreen, it doesn’t have a full QWERTY keyboard and it doesn’t even have EV-DO, UMTS or EDGE data capabilities However, it does offer voice and text support for over “220 destinations worldwide” and that’s what Verizon is focusing on.

Other features include a 2MP camera, Bluetooth, voice commands and VZ Navigator. If you’re looking for a cheap handset that you can travel with, this may be it.

Remember that Sprint leaked document we showed you yesterday? Well it looks like someone from AT&T decided to match Sprint’s leaking process and has therefore revealed some interesting handsets which are in the pre-launch phase. Among those we couldn’t help but notice the BlackBerry 9700, the HTC Tilt 2 and the Tilt 2 without a camera, that elusive Garmin Nuvifone G60, the HTC Pure aka Snap and plenty of others. Samsung phones, Pantech and Nokia phones are also coming soon, so if you’re rooting for AT&T then sit nicely and wait. Some amazing phones are heading your way.

Fractus is a Spanish company which you haven’t really gotten to know so far. Now it’s time for it’s moment of glory! Fractus has decided to sue not one, not two, but ten mobile phone manufacturers which apparently have infringed not one, not two, but nine different patents which concern internal antennas.

These manufacturers are: Samsung, LG Electronics, Research In Motion, HTC, Palm, Pantech, Sharp, Kyocera, Sanyo and UTStarcom. And Fractus is a company which holds more than 80 patents worldwide, 30 of them right in the United States. The suit was filed in the USA and we’ll just have to wait and see what happens next. Fractus’s lawyer said:

It is very brave of Fractus to fight against these cell phone companies, many of whom knew about Fractus and its technology yet still continued to infringe. Fractus’s inventions have added tremendous value to both the cell phone user and manufacturer.

We were expecting the Pantech Matrix Pro to arrive from AT&T and it looks it did. Starting today, the Matrix Pro will be available from your local AT&T store. How much will one cost? Just $179.99 with a 2-year contract and after $50 mail-in rebate. That’s how much you’ll have to pay for the dual slider we showed you last week. The only downside of this smartphone is the lack of WiFi connectivity. You’ll have to rely on your 3G connectivity to go online while on the go.

So what do you think? Let us know how this Pantech works if you plan to purchase one in the immediate future.

Pantech has a new mobile phone ready, the IM-S410/IM-S410K. This one is a slider that can be controlled by puffing at it. But what if the wind blows the wrong way? Will the phone start to translate it into some kind of command? The phone will be available from SKY and KTF in Korea.

The IM-S410/SM410K is the first phone in the world featuring wind recognition. Blowing some air into the phone will let you control the standby screen, images and photos, video calls and maybe more. I am not sure I’d have enough air to make it perform. Luckily the keypad is still present so you’ll have an alternative to blowing air towards it.

Pantech has launched a new phone in Korea. It’s the Sky IM-S400L which comes in white and packs a 2.6 inch LCD screen and a new sensor technology called Glide. The Glide will let you navigate through the menu by using touch on the keypad.

The Glide Sensor transforms the keypad into a trackpad for easier navigation. Think of it as a touchpad for notebooks. Besides that the phone sports a DMB TV tuner, a subway map, and electronic dictionary and it will support external memory. The phone should be usable in other countries but so far only Korea will get it. Besides the white it will come in pink and blue.

In case you don’t remember, we talked about the Pantech Matrix at AT&T a couple of weeks ago back in Septemer, and the cellphone was officially launched today. It is already listed on the AT&T website with a price tag of $80 with rebate + service agreement, or $280 if you want a free phone.

Like previously mentioned, the Matrix cellphone has an interesting and unique detail - dual slide out keypads. It means there are 2 sliding keyboards, one is numeric while the other is QWERTY. In terms of multimedia, the Matrix can read MP3, MIDI, iMelody, MMF, WAV, SMAF, and AAC+ format files.

The battery on this Pantech cellphone can last 3 hours of talk time, which is below the average and should be improved in the next version. On stand-by mode it works up to 10 hours.

AT&T has added another entry-level cellphone to their big catalog, the Pantech C610. In case you don’t remember, the cellphone was approved by FCC back in May this year.

The C610 flip phone will be available in one color - flame red - and cost approximately $50 with the AT&T contract + rebate. If you pick the non-traditional route of no contract, the price goes way up to $250.

As for the phone itself, it is pretty basic. The C610 sports a 1.3-megapixel camera, an old-school version of Bluetooth 1.2, and an expandable memory storage of 4GB when using a microSD memory card. The music player supports popular formats such as MP3, AAC, or WAV, and to make the multimedia experience more complete, there are music subscription services like Napster Mobile and eMusic.

While the Pantech Sky IM-S380K was a GSM handset headed for Korea’s KTF, the new Sky IM-S360L seems to head the other way to the CDMA air waves on Korea’s CDMA carrier, LGT.

The Pantech Sky Bang also features a 2.3-inch QVGA display, a 1.3 megapixel camera, FM radio, mp3 player, and microSD support. Measuring 102.9 x 48.6 x 13.4 mm and weighing 94 grams, the Sky Bang is available in a choice of Black, White, Silver, and of course, Pink at 400,000 KRW ($346) on LGT.
