South Korean company has a strong market share in its own country, since shortly after releasing the IM-S350, yet another phone was launched as part of the fall collection. Today, Pantech has introduced another Sky phone, the stylish slider IM-S380K. The handset is designed to work only with Korea's KTF, and it supports high-speed data transmission HSDPA. The fact that it's not designed for global use is a bit disappointing, yet not altogether unexplainable.

With a pretty good slider form factor, the IM S380K is HSDPA capable. Working within networks of local operator KTF, the phone should ensure efficient data transmissions and keep KTF users connected at decent speeds at all times.

The IM s380K apparently boasts of an open digital keyboard with an aspect ratio of 7:3 to the top of the slider. This attribute of the device may actually help improve the visual perception of an open handset. The display is rumoured to have a resolution of around 240×400.


The phone available in three color versions, white, black and pink. It will be priced at 400,000 KRW, meaning approximately 355 US dollars, without a contract.
