Pantech introduces a cool new mobile phone dubbed Shooting Star (IM-U200).

Pantech compares the shape of the IM-U200 with that of an space ship, and they are not that wrong with that. The clamshell phone, does not flip open as others, the cover swivels to the side.

The feature set itself is not that impressive of the IM-U200. The design is very futuristic though. The keypad for instance looks like a membrane of sorts. The wedge-shaped form when closed is giving the Pantech Shooting Star phone a distinct appeal.

Features of the IM-U200 include 1.3MP camera, mp3 player and Bluetooth.

SK Telecom will offer the IM-U200 in Korea. Don't miss the hi-res photos of the IM-U200.
