Pantech goes metal with IM-U170

Pantech’s IM-U170 slim cellphone comes encased in metal and definitely rates as a looker. Taking after a clamshell design, the IM-U170 does not only look nice, but it offers ample protection as well in a magnesium case. To add further beauty, Pantech included electroluminescense light to the metallic keypad that is bound to attract attention each time you pop open the phone. The IM-U170 also holds the distinction of having the first face-recognition cellphone game in the industry, utilizing the built-in camera which traces the user’s face movement as a form of input in lieu of traditional controllers.
