Pantech Vega X Gets Official For South Korea, Features DDR2 RAM and Android 2.2

Pantech has just revealed something that high-end smartphones should start featuring more and more as time passes and that's DDR2 RAM. The company announced the Vega X and it's reportedly the first phone to have it - probably 512MB of it. This will be available later this week in South Korea via KT and LG Telecom. This smartphone packs quite the spec sheet, it also has a 4-inch WVGA touchscreen display, a 5MP AF camera, a 1GHz Snapdragon MSM8255 CPU, and Android 2.2 "Froyo".

Dell Venue Hitting Korean Carrier, KT, Later This Month With Android 2.2

Known as the Dell Thunder when it first leaked out, the Dell Venue has been officially announced by the carrier KT, in Korea. The Dell Venue is quite similar to the Windows Phone 7 powered Venue Pro, but it doesn't have the slide-out portrait QWERTY keyboard and it actually runs Android 2.2. So, that means you still get a 4.1-inch touchscreen WVGA (Gorilla Glass) display, a microSD card slot, WiFi / Bluetooth support, an upgraded 8MP AF camera with an LED flash and 720p HD video recording, and a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU. This handset will be available on the carrier later this month and should cost you around 700,000 won ($608 USD). This is the only launch we know of right now so if it is North American bound, we'll likely find out early next year.
