The SK Telecom PT-S170 flipping, sliding, and swiveling nonsense

SK Telecom PT-S170

Well, here's our entry for the world's ugliest cellphone. The "in-house designed" Pantech & Curitel PT-S170 for SK Telecom is a sliding, flipping, and swiveling beast and living proof that sometimes you just have to outsource your design. We might forgive the bulk if this was a DMB cellphone sporting that sweet, sweet mobile digital TV — but alas, it is not. Instead, it's billed as a camcorder cellphone, yet oddly packs in a regular ol' 1.3 megapixel camera and a 1.9-inch QCIF LCD. For once, we take great pride in letting you know that this is a Korea-only device.
