Pantech Wireless,
the U.S.-based subsidiary of Pantech Group, one of Korea’s largest
mobile phone manufacturers – will bring “Impact” to AT&T
customers. The second Pantech handset to hit shelves this holiday
season debuts in two cool colors – bright blue and soft pink – and
delivers a brand new form factor to AT&T’s line of quick messaging
phones. Impact features a high-gloss faceplate with a haptic response
touchpad, two screens and a full hidden keyboard, along with a host of
the latest social and multimedia options, to make managing your mobile
life startlingly fun.
Responds to the Touch
In
a world where most phones look identical and feel the same, Impact puts
an end to predictability by providing users an altogether new
experience. From the outside, Impact’s shiny blackout exterior is
surrounded by textured blue or pink detailing. Each time the touchpad
below the screen is pressed it springs to action, reacting to finger
taps with a soft, tactile buzz. Impact lets users play and control
music, make a call, or send texts without ever having to open the phone.
Flip out
A
sideways flip open of Impact reveals a full QWERTY keyboard for typing
longer messages, and a range of shortcut keys enabling one-touch access
to IM, text, email, and jumping between apps. Users will also find a
second full-color display screen, perfect for watching video clips,
viewing friends’ profiles, or flipping through pictures. And on either
side of the screen sit speakers, making listening to music, chatting on
speakerphone, or hearing GPS directions easy and loud. Whether browsing
the Web, updating your status with pictures and videos, or playing
games, Impact keeps users close to their social life at every turn.
Impact

service, which combines the best of full and fast HTML browsing with

searches.
