The FCC today approved a new Windows Mobile Smartphone for Verizon. The Pantech PN820 or PC-8200N is a clamshell style phone with dual color displays and a traditional numeric keypad. It features a 1.3 Megapixel camera with flash, Mini-SD card slot and Bluetooth. This model will also be Pantech's first high-end model for Verizon, as to date the carrier has only sold Pantech's entry level models. Current Pantech models on Verizon use PN- model numbers, however the second PC- model number appeared in the user manual and FCC filings. It is not clear which the phone will launch with.

does anyone but me think this design looks interestingly similar to the moto v600/v620/v635? [more like the v620, but with the 635's screen]...
