Pantech concept wins design award

Sometimes you get press releases through that are basically companies crowing about whatever award they've won recently, often awards that you've never heard of and, oddly, never hear of again afterwards.  But here's one occasion when I think a company deserves it – Pantech have won the iF Design Award for Excellence & Innovation for, among other things, their Flexus 03 concept cellphone.

A slender slider with a trackball and Moto PEBL-esque keypad, here's hoping the Flexus 03 gets earmarked for production soon!

Pantech also won an award for their "one touch open cap" packaging, consisting of an aluminium tube and discretely branded box.
