Somewhere in the past year, Samsung and LG spontaneously decided that mobile UIs should rotate in three-space as though each screen is a face on a cube. Other than sheer visual bedazzlement, there’s not a lot of practical value to that — but that’s not stopping Pantech from getting into the game. It’s coining its 3D interface “TruEmotion,” and the first handset to take advantage of it will be the IM-R470S launched by Pantech’s SKY division in Korea. The phone features a 3.2-inch VGA touchscreen and — if we had to guess, anyway — it probably supports T-DMB reception, but you’ll need to be local to pick it up when it launches in July.

Pantech’s domestic market sub-brand, SKY, has been kicking around for a solid ten years now — and to celebrate, they’ve cooked up a unique model. Actually, the IM-U440 Hommage isn’t really any more unique than your typical Korean slider, but it’s pretty cool nonetheless; the headlining feature seems to be an array of 112 multicolor LEDs directly below the display that undulate in a seizure-inducing way according to the phone’s current mode. You’ve also got the typical TV tuner, dynamic noise reduction (a la Motorola’s CrystalTalk), and microSD expansion. Look for it to launch on SKT and KTF.
