This is probably something technology that you and I have never seen before – a Dual LCD Sliding Phone. The Pantech Group in Korea announced the brand new Pantech IM-R200 cell phone that features dual LCDs and equipped with an OLED touch-sensitive screen.

Separated from its main LCD display, the new phone does away with the standard keypad in favor of a brand-new LCD-typed keypad. When sliding up, the virtual keypad shows up on the LCD that is touch-sensitive, allowing users to dial numbers and view contacts with a stroke of a finger.

Chang Jin Park, Head of the Domestic Marketing Division, Pantech Group, said, “We are excited to launch an innovative touch screen slider, which is different from other touch screen phones on the market. By incorporating the touch screen keypad into a sliding form factor, the IM-R200 will help customers to embrace the touch screen as one of the major input technologies, while providing novel fun of using the touch-sensitive keypad.”

The Pantech IM-R200 also comes with 2.0-MP digital camera, face recognition feature, a 2.0-inch QVGA LCD with 260,000 colors for main display, a 1.6-inch OLED LCD with 260,000 colors for its keypad and 128 polyphonic ringtones.

Two thumbs up for Pantech!
