Pantech is demonstrating new Pantech PG-2800 ‘finger-writing recognition phone’ at the SVIAZ Expo Comm trade fair in Russia. The PG-2800 apparently recognizes and processes the user’s writing of text messages. Consumers can either push individual keys or write letters with their fingers on the keypad when looking up words in the electronic dictionary or sending text messages. This new form of text messaging makes it easier to enter Chinese and Russian characters, so standard keyboard-style buttons are more than adequate for English.
Pantech PG-2800 is a clamshell with dimensions of 90 x 45 x 18.5 mm, weight of 88 grams. Pantech PG-2800 has display inner of TFT, 256K colors (Second external 65K colors TFT display), camera from 1.3 megapixel (resolution: 1280 x 1024 pixels), player audio/video, Camcorder functionality and slot for external memory. Its electronic dictionary is one of its unique functions that can be easily accessed with its finger writing recognition capability.
