Pantech IM-8700 Face to Face phone

Pantech have also announced the launch of the Pantech IM-8700 F2F (Face 2 Face) mobile phone, which features real time, high quality video communication running at 10 frames per second (fps) imaging speed.  Combined with a sizeable 2.2 inch screen, it gives the user a faster, more interactive communications experience with other callers, without any interruption of the conversation.
 
The IM-8700’s real party piece, though, is the fun, easy to use “Auto Rotary Telephony” function that recognizes the user’s location. When calls are received, the 2 mega-pixel camera or earpiece automatically faces towards the user for convenience. 
 
Hang on…how does it know where your head is?! These Korean mobile phones are starting to freak me out! First there was the KTF-T1000, which could manipulate your mind; now the Pantech IM-8700, which knows where your head is. Is it me, or are Korean phones becoming the new more advanced Robo-Sapien?!
