Stick 'em up. A Pantech GI100? Then gimme your phone and your thumbs!

Pantech GI1000

Aside from being pretty good lookin' and probably uncomfortable feelin', Pantech's GI100 biometrics phone also has a 1.8-inch 260K color LCD (128x160 pixels), an external 1.2-inch color LCD (96x64 pixels), a 1.3 megapixel camera, 3 hours talk time and 200 hours standby, and is 3.1 x 1.5 x 0.9-inches. But biometrics and your cellphone, that's the hot tip—we have a feeling FeliCa could really use it. And aside from using a fingerprint scanner to lock/unlock your phone for authorized use, it also has a feature called Secret Finger Dial (what's secret about it, we just don't know), which binds up to ten speed dial numbers to your fingerprints. They also make use of the biometrics for game playing too, but we really just take solace in the fact that given how much our home Internet access goes out we could bind our ISP's tech support to the middle-finger salute (no word yet on what people with 11 or more digits can do to get additional key bindings).
